I'm hoping to take people on a roller coaster of emotions with this story. I expected people to sometimes laugh, sometimes be angry, and yes sometimes be sad (but I hoped I wouldn't make anyone cry). Generally though, I'm trying to incline it away from sad.
Yep, brotherhood and friendship are the foundations of this story. You'll find it tried and tested beyond stereotypes we normally see. Then again, unlikely pairings are a stereotype.
Thanks again! Something to keep in mind with this story is that it's narrated from Derek's POV which means he can pretty much control what happens? Fact? Fiction? Embellishment? Only he can know really.
Hmm, not quite sure what you mean by the cold turkey. Hehe. Do you mean the style changed far too quickly? Anyway, I delayed it for a week because I got sick. I didn't have time to edit it the week before as I spent most of my time in bed.
CHAPTER 17: The Indomitable Mrs. C
I rubbed my head absently with my hand. The bump was still throbbing rather than being less of a pain. The prospect of an ice bag was becoming more and more welcoming.
“How are you, Derek?” Mrs. C asked conversationally without taking her eyes off the magazine.
I stared at her. What game was she playing at? I looked carefully at the nearest table. It was occupied by two people I vaguely recognized as Southmore students, though maybe a few years younger
Hi nicojohn90! Unfortunately, I have no plans of switching the perspective to Charlie's POV any time soon. We'll have to live with this stuck up narrator for quite awhile hehe. Thanks though for reading and reviewing!
