Wow, poor MIchael. He was so upset at finding another guy at Asher's place. And Asher, I really didn't expect him to bring Tyler home with him. But then again, Tyler seems like the whole package. lol I wouldn't want to leave him waiting in bed. Shit, what's Asher gonna do? Is he gonna run after Michael? Kick Tyler out? If he kicks Tyler out, could you send him to me, or better yet, maybe he has a straight twin. Or cousin, or non-twin...I'm no picky. hahah Great chapter KC!

When my kid goes up to UNH in late August I'll have him keep an eye out for Brice, Cody and Justin. Great idea about the farmhouse, but...don't you think they'll be missing out on college life? I mean, the commuters in my school really didn't 'connect' to kids like us who lived on campus. And a half an hour away is not really that close - especially in the winter with snow on the ground. Just sayin' But enough with me being a downer - this was a great chapter! I especially loved Cody's parents; they are sweet, understanding and very intuitive. All the parents (and grandparents, yay for them for understanding also), are wonderful. I just hope that nothing happens where one or more of the boys will get hurt. I also know a three-way relationship, which is now a two-way relationship b/c one of them up and moved. But I am reading about these relationships more and more. Great chapter Andrew!

The ending was so sweet. Matt was so young when he met Brian. Being infatuated with someone, thinking you're head over heels in love with them is difficult at that age. Your hormones are all over the place, you can't think clearly - but Matt rose above that. He was very mature and even though he was crazy about Brian, he knew Brian wasn't going to "settle down" with him. First loves are always so difficult to get over. And reading this chapter, it seems like the tables have turned and Matt is Brian and Alan is Matt. And Matt is still mature, realizing that he only wants Alan. I really liked the ending. I look forward to the next one Thorn!

Wish I was in a place where it was summer all year! lol Like Hawaii... I think Alexi's overreacting with Joshua. Seems like the doc isn't helping any. Maybe his mother and the doc combined are trying to run his life. Maybe he should see someone totally unbiased - someone who doesn't know him. Also, I'm wondering if as they get closer to the three week D-Day, if one or both of them will start picking fights and getting angry with the other one. Makes it so much easier to leave if you're pissed of at the other person. I was thinking before Joshua saw the attorney, that maybe he could take a sabbatical from teaching to be with Alexi, but now that he may be able to see Shane, that isn't possible. Unless he could take him with him? Just a thought...I'm trying to find ways they can still be together. lol

Of course now in 2013, there's Facebook and such. I bet if Bay wanted to, he could find Logan again. Just sayin' =)

I was a little confused at David's thought process when he was standing at the window. First he was feeling badly for himself for not having loving affection that Billy has, to thinking that Annie saw them in the barn. Did he think that because he was looking at the window towards the barn? I am also shocked that Mr. T. said yes to David staying. I'm really happy for the boys. But why couldn't Mr T. look at David when he said that? Was he ashamed of something? Embarrassed? He's a tough nut to crack. I'm still wondering what the heck Annie is up to. Mr. T. too. Why is he always at the other farm. When Norma was mentioned, I kept thinking that he was screwing around with her, but then that couldn't happen since she took off a long time ago. There are so many questions surrounding Billy's parents. Excellent chapter as always Owl! Anxiously awaiting the next one. Have a great Memorial Day!

Willow's lawyer is an idiot. He even says his client told him Zach should be raised with a loving mother and father. So what's her excuse? She wasn't loving. She hit him, set fire to where he lived, had a revolving door in her bedroom and I'm sure I left out a lot more. She would rather see her son in FOSTER CARE than where he is, being loved and taken care of? She is the lowest of the lows. The DNA test was a surprise. But it wouldn't surprise me since that ho probably slept with all of Georgia. I'm anxiously waiting for the next udpate! Oh, and where'd you get the judge's name? That's my maiden name and it's not all that common.

Great new story Renee! I'm looking forward to see who finds a guy for Mark first, Jackie or Mark himself. lol

For some reason I thought Dale knew about Bay. Great chapter Sasha. I like the set of new people Bay met. Batty seems really cool. I'm looking forward to the next update. =)

That was absurd - Bay's father made him change schools just b/c his sister commented on a teacher? THE KID'S ONLY FIVE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! Omg, what an ass. Ok, on to chapter three.

Ah, they're both so confused. I like the way Emily and her father were giving Andy a hard time. She gave Andy such a hard time, she gave him two different phone numbers for Gina! lol I'm looking forward to their double-date. Oh, in Andy's pov, you wrote the name Andy in a couple of times when it should have been Matt's name.

Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, I can't keep up with you girl! This is an awesome story so far! I was cracking up when Bay got invited to join the Glee Club and the Drama Club. Too funny! Can't wait for more.

Matt and Andy's banter back and forth is hysterical. I loved when Andy agreed to have a fair race and then he went ahead and cheated anyway. lol Gina is quite the little aggressor, isn't she? And she's only fourteen. I can imagine what she'll be like when she's sixteen. lol I wonder what she would have done if Matt did leave an empty seat between the at the movies. lol She'd probably have a fit and jump into his lap so he couldn't pull that shit again. But why the heck do Matt and Andy leave a seat between them? That way it's harder for them to talk during the movie and annoy all the others around them. I just wanted to point out two errors: "Ah common Matt...." I'm pretty sure you mean 'come on' or the slang 'c'mon'. Common is pronounced differently and it means something completely different. Don't feel bad though, I've seen this mistake from an author on another site also. The second error is manican. I think that's how you spelled it. It's either 'mannequin' or 'manikin'. Hope you didn't mind me pointing these out. Looking forward to chapter seven, Spirit!

I really, really like Matt. He was really sweet and sensitive to Alan's feelings in this chapter. I was just surprised that Alan admitted to Matt, just like that, to being gay. Although I understand Alan's motives for bullying other kids and taking out all his frustrations about his father and about himself on his victims, I still see it as doing real damage to the kids he bullies. Sure, there are plenty of kids like Nick who can stand up to their attackers with a quick comeback, but there are more kids out there who get bullied so much it really affects their self-esteem and there's no reason for it. I wish all these kids who bully others b/c they're so afraid to confront their own feelings and shortcomings, would just talk to someone or find some other outlet for their feelings besides bullying. There, I've said my peace. lol I'm looking forward to your next short story, Thorn.

Gina is very sensitive. I think she's in the minority of fourteen year old's. Unfortunately, I think they are mostly like Andy. Glad Andy could see the difference. Ok, on to chapter five.

Nope, certainly didn't see that whole blow-up coming! And in public no less! lol It was interesting how Michael didn't seem to care that Asher was gay (although he seemed a bit perturbed that Asher was checking him out), but he was definitely afraid others would think he was b/c he was hanging out with Asher. Stupid, stupid reasoning. lol I wonder if Michael will come groveling back to Asher's apartment hoping for forgiveness. Great chapter KC. I only have one complaint: it was too short!!!!

Excellent story Sasah! So sorry to see it end. You are a wonderful storyteller. =) There was one part in this chapter I didn't understand: At the beginning of one of the paragraphs towards the end of the chapter, Jared listened to the timber of Cole's voice - but...can he hear now? A little bit? I was confused b/c I thought he couldn't hear anything at all. I'm looking forward to reading more from you. Well, except the magic one, sorry. lol

What a terrific chapter Comicality! I loved the nervous interaction between Tristan and Jesse. They are so cute together. And Jesse explaining how he's so much freer in front of the camera then he is in real life just makes him more 'real' and accessible. It was so 'normal' reading Tristan's inner thoughts about which table to choose, who's gonna pay...actually, who did pay? lol Just stuff we all take for granted and don't think about unless the relationship is new. As always, can't wait for more! =)

Damn, my "likes" are all used up and I just logged on. Go figure. I love this new story of yours Comicality! Evan is so cute with his inner ramblings. You write your characters so well. I can always relate to your protagonists, even though I'm female. lol When Evan is trying to concentrate on his lines and he sees Chandler and Asa lauging and flirting with Greyson, and he can't focus wondering what's going on over there, I feel like I'm right there with him. (boy that was a run-on-sentence, sorry) I can relate to how he feels and what's going through his head. You write such lovable characters. =) I'm looking forward to the next update. Now I have to catch up on Jesse...thanks for updating that story, btw.

I am so very sad to see the story come to an end, but I'm thrilled you'll be doing a sequel and a new story w/the minor (and not so minor) characters. I'm curious to see how Nick's mom is doing. Love the fact that Nick's in a band, that's totally awesome! What is Dave doing though? What was he studying? I'm glad Matt's still there and they're all friends. And of course Mel has a b/f now and that's great. I will miss reading about these guys, but I look forward to reading what you're working on now. Oh, I ran out of "likes" otherwise I would have "liked" the rest of the chapters I just read.

So glad I'm finally able to catch up on one of my favorite stories! Too bad it's completed though. Matt is terrific. I had a feeling he went both ways. I'm glad he can be a friend to Nick. Alan totally surprised me! I was sitting there with my mouth hanging open! lol Dave's father is an ass, but I'm glad Jason and Mel are helping Dave and Nick communicate when they're not in school. Ok, onto the next chapter.

Didn't Binda Carlisle from the "Go-Go's" sing Circle in the Sand?

That whole flasback was pretty disturbing. From reading these different stories online I now know what a glory hole is. Lol and I know what grown men stick in these holes regardless of who's in the stall next to him. I'm wondering if this guy looked thru his hole & noyiced how young the kid was next to him. Right there is a big ick factor. Maybe that's why he left. And thank God he did. Dan really needs to speak w/someone to try to get thru this. He'll never be able to have a lasting relationship unless he learns to deal with his troubles about sex. And I found the last line sad but also a bit ominous. Yes we all wear different masks for different people as Billy Joel sings, but do we all pretend to be the person people think we are? Is everyone just pretending to be who they are not? Now that's a sad thought.

You can't blame Haje for not trusting Vincent. After all, Vincent didn't do such a great job in protecting Shin. I'm curious to find out what the assailant thinks Hane knows that warrants his death. The scary part is, Haje doesn't know anything. So killing him in order to keep his mouth shut is useless. As always Sui, looking forward to the next update.

I can see both their points. But Tony won't be Jake's teacher forever. I think Brad should give it a shot. I'm glad he's going to call him. And I know Tony will be pleasantly surprised. And I agree with Jamie; I don't think Jake will care at all if his dad is seeing his teacher. He may actually like that and feel sort of special.
