Damn it, I don't have any 'likes' left. I'll do it tomorrow when I get more. =) So.....what a terrific update furnished! Well worth the wait and all my nagging! (Sorry 'bout that! I can't help it; you always leave me wanting more! ) Carson's speech really got me all choked up. Caleb really needed to hear all that, especially after Clark's phone call from the night before. Caleb needs all his friends around him now, and Carson is just wonderful. He should not have ignored her like he's been doing. And now he can add Clark as a friend. I really want to know what Jake was going to say. I'm so curious. Especially after Clark's confession about him and Jake only two years ago. I also want to know what Knox was talking to Jake about. Carson is very intuitive; she pretty much nails it on the head with each of the friends in the group. And Jake the Tool; undressing everyone with his eyes, boys, girls....lol I still want to gather Caleb up in my arms and tell him everything's gonna be ok. It'll take time to get there, but it will be ok, Everything is still so new for him; he has to take the time to process everything and once he does, it'll be ok. His friends are still there for him, if he wants them. Another terrific chapter furnished! And as always, like I said above, you always leave me wanting more! =)

Oh I just want to smack Owen upside his head, the idiot! I'm assuming Cooper wants them BOTH to move into a different apartment. One which his company will pay for. Jeez, and now Owen spent a restless, sleepless night full of anxiety for nada! lol Looking forward to his relief next week! (That is I'm ASSUMING Coop wants them to move in together, maybe I'm wrong....but I hope not! )

I could smack Ogre upside his head! What a fucking tool! I can't believe he blatanly lied to Eric about his biology exam he had to study for. More like anatomy. Ok, so he didn't lie to LM DIRECTLY, but still....he lied. AND HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO TEXT LM THAT HE WISHED HE COULD BE THERE! The fucker. The fucking NIGHT AFTER HE WAS WITH LM! He is such a shit. I can't see him being able to redeem himself after this. And Jeezus....LM confessed to him! Ok, it was a slip of the tongue, but he meant every word. God I hate Ogre right now; he is really living up to his nickname. God, I feel so bad for LM. He'll never trust him again. Not that they'll even have a relationship for him to trust....and he totally fucked up the trio. They will never be the same again. If LM confides in Eric, (and I hope he does, fuck what Ogre wants), Eric's probably gonna go after Ogre bigtime. What an awesomely angsty chapter Mann. And boy do I hate angst! lol I'm anxiously awaiting more!

I have a agree w/Clockwork; I know it's hard (haha, no pun intended ) for Corbin to see Pete sitting there in only his boxers, looking amazing and talking to some beautiful chick on the computer. He's jumping to conclusions and assuming things. I think I agree w/Clockwork that Dakota (way cool name btw, for a girl or boy) could be just a very good friend and nothing more. I noticed Pete didn't say she was his BEST friend, or best female friend, but a good friend. And obviously such a good friend that he's totally comfortable sitting there half-naked, and looking amazing, dontcha forget. She can't be his g/f; they didn't say the 'L' word at all, not that they have to be in love, but even when they ended the call, it was a strictly platonic way to end it, in my opinion. I think Corbs is jumping the gun here and assuming too much. And you do know what they say about when you assume things. lol I was actually thinking someone (girl or boy) was going to walk out of Pete's room when Corbin rang the bell. Seeing him in only his boxers gave me the impression that maybe he had company. Luckily it was only FaceTime w/a friend. I wonder why Corbin thinks he's juggling all these boys: Pete, Lee, Mike and maybe David (big surprise there; I thought he was straight! lol). First Lee, I thought that was dead and buried, although Lee didn't get the memo yet. Corbin knows what Lee did to him and I'm sure he won't go THERE again. Although I did wonder when I read what Carrie thought; about DAVID being the instigator maybe, and Lee didn't have anything to do with it. That maybe David lied to Corbin so Corbin would get pissed at Lee and then David could swoop in and take over. Hmmmm, I never thought of that actually. I'm wondering if there's any truth to that. Although Corbin did admit he saw pure honesty and genuine caring there with David. I'd like to think that David is a good guy, but then of course I thought that of Lee too, and see where THAT got me. haha So I think Corbin is putting way too many eggs in his basket; forget Cadet Mike; he's a shit, forget Lee, same reason, David is sorta up in the air, but could be back down on the ground if Pete is a no-go. Oh, and when Corbs noticed Pete talking to Dakota, I had to re-read it four times to realize Pete wasn't pretending to be Corbin. The way he said, Hi Dakota, this is Corbin, I thought he was introducing HIMSELF as Corbin! Oh, but big hint about Pete: Pete told Dakota Corbin was cute. How many straight guys even NOTICE what another guy looks like? lol Pete called Corbs cute, oh, not just 'cute', but 'as cute as Pete said you were', which means very cute in my book. The Book of Cute. Another awesome chapter Jon! I'm really looking forward to their night and the next day when Corbs takes revenge from Lee. Should be interesting..... Oh, and on a totally unrelated note: Your alma-mater is coming to our high school TOMORROW! Yep, Old Dominion will be in Danbury, CT. tomorrow to talk to seniors about the school, and next week they'll be at our mall participating in a big college fair. I was so excited when I saw that, that I immediately had to write it down so I'd remember to tell you.

I love the tension between Young Jae and Min. Although I loved Min's interactions with Shin, I think with Young Jae Min's determination and petulance really come out. lol And good for him for knowing exactly what to do and how to do it when he was in that meeting with the hotel owner. You show them Min! And damn Young Jae for selling Min's father out by "spying" on Min and "selling secrets" to his scum of an uncle. Great chapter lilansui! =)

Even reading the story of Joshua and Sherry, Shelley (what was that bitche's name? She she wasn't important enough for me to remember her name. lol) a second time brought tears to my eyes. Joshua should take Alexi up on his offer for help. After lying to him about him being the father, she had no right to deny him the right to see Shane. Now Lily: poor Lily; I'd be shaking in my Manolo's. Alexi's mom sure is scary. I'd actually be insulted that she thought that I was behind all those charges. I hope they can get to the bottom of it. I still think it's Adrian. I'm glad Alexi and Joshua are hitting it off. They should try to take it slow though. =)

Hey Cia! I love this story! But in the summary of the story the names of the characters are Owen and Connor. In the first two chapters it's Owen and Cooper. Anyway.....great first two chapters! I can't wait for more!

I hate to admit it, and I will NEVER admit it to my son, or anyone, so I will deny it if asked, but I really love "Drake and Josh". And "Big Time Rush" only b/c of that James kid. Wow, what a hottie. Ok, now I'm a perv....lol My son likes me to sit with him at bedtime and watch a couple of shows. "Zack and Cody's" shows are great too. So yeah, please tell your fifteen year old I am NOT a creeper! lol

Shit, now I'm starving. You can definitely feel Heath's ambivalence between doing his job and his feelings for Alec, which are going to get him into trouble with his job. And who is following them? That bitch Nina? Hmmm, someone who smokes, Heath hates smoke. I wonder who it is? I LOVE Lulu! She's so nice! And yes, Alec must be really special to Heath if Heath brought him to Lulu's. Sounds like such a cool place. I just have such a bad feeling; one of them, or most likely both of them, are going to really get hurt. Mentally and/or physically. Kim, you have kids! I can't believe you never heard of "Wizards of Waverly Place" on the Disney channel. Selena Gomez plays (well, played, they're not making any more episodes) Alex Russo and she's the middle child of a wizard family. Or wizarding family. I don't know what they're called. My youngest was addicted to that show, so when you mentioned Alec Russo, I immediately thought of Alex Russo, lol. Great chapter Kim! Can't wait for the next one!

I agree with everyone else; just like in earlier chapters, I was waiting for Eric to come barging thru the door and catching them red-handed. Or white-handed as the case may be. "A supersoaker between your legs," was hysterical! I was I also think it's great that Ogre's mom encouraged him with his art. There's nothing worse than a parent who knocks down what other talents you have besides sports. Great chaper Mann!

I feel so bad for Min now. His whole support system is leaving him for over a year! Yeah sure, they say they'll email every day, call, etc., etc., but all that will taper off. What's Min going to do now w/no friends around?

Omg, Carrie's review totally cracked me up!!! Mainly b/c I always think the same thing! I don't usually read a story as soon as it's posted b/c number one, I don't want people (you) to think I'm sitting around waiting for your story to be posted so I can read it (I am), number two, b/c I don't want people (you) to think all I do all day is troll this site. (I do) hehe And number three, b/c if I read your story right away, then I have to wait SEVEN MORE FUCKING DAYS for an update and I am just too impatient for that shit. So I wait a few days, get my anticipation up, and then read it. See, now it's Tuesday night. Now I only have to wait five more fucking days for the next update instead of seven. Gah! Ok, on to the review: I gotta tell you Jon, I am impressed with the Brit. He actually remembered Mike's name and that he's the cadet from VMI. Something I'm sure I wouldn't remember. To me, this means that Pete is definitely listening and paying attention to everything Corbin is saying. Corbin only mentioned this ONCE and the Brit remembered. You don't remember shit like that unless you're interested in the person who said it. I also think the Brit is interested in Corbin. I think if Corbin put his foot on a straight, straight boy's crotch, he may have to visit the campus doctors. Maybe Pete is waiting for Corbin to do something. Well, I think he definitely is b/c he had every opportunity every time they "sleep" together, every time they wake up together hungover (which is practically every day, lol) and especially this last time wrestling on the floor. Obviously the Brit didn't do anything for different reasons than why Corbin didn't do anything. Maybe the Brit is scared, but not scared of losing Corbin and having him freak out, but scared b/c he's never done something like this before. Maybe these feelings he has for Corbin are new. Maybe he's never felt this way about another boy before. Or maybe he's just enjoying flirting and the whole 'chase' thing. Hahah, I said "Chase", still miss that story Jon. Anyway...maybe Pete thinks that dragging the whole flirting thing he has going with Corbin out, when/if they finally get together, it'll be well worth the wait. Even though he's driving Corbin nutso, and I think he knows how crazy he's driving him. Now Corbin: he can be a prick at times. Drunk and sober. He was pretty nasty to Austin at the game. And the whole game he's playing with the two sororities is like if you agree to go out with one guy, but then the guy you wanted comes along and asks you and then you bag out on the first guy. It's just not nice. Of course with Corbin and the sororities, it's on a much larger scale. And Corbin could lose so much; it seems like he's already on thin ice with the powers that be. Lee: what a turd. My mouth fell to the floor when Dave confessed to Corbin what Lee did. I can't believe he would use Corbin like that! And how presumptuous of Lee to think that just b/c they hooked up ONCE, Corbin would give him a bid! What nerve! lol And to think I used to really like Lee. After all, he is a great kisser! Everytime I see Adam West's name I think of Batman and Family Guy. Loved the scene in the cafeteria w/Vera! Took me back to my days working part-time in my college cafeteria. Haha, and Dave saying, "...the funnest house." Just goes to prove that the "No Child Left Behind" law went to shit. Ok, so I think I surpassed last week's review as being the longest. haha That didn't even make sense, did it? Well you know what I mean! lol Ok, five more fucking days to go....I'm starting my countdown. =)

I really enjoyed the first chapter. I loved Will's playfulness towards Harvey at the beginning of the chapter. I do agree w/Cia though about the timeline. At the beginning they were fifteen, almost sixteen. How old were they when they were at the party? I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Goddammit! It's only one p.m. and I already used up my five likes! Ugh, they should follow your advice podium and incorporate another system. Five likes is like not enough! And plus this only goes to prove that I have no life....lol. I totally agree w/Carrie; kudos go to Amanda and her friends for standing up for J&K! Not many kids would do that; they'd be too afraid that the bullies would come after them. Or even, you know, that whole stupid 'guilt by association' thing. I don't thing the bullying is over; not by a long shot. Personally, I'm surprised only one homophobe singled himself out in the cafeteria. I was sure there'd be others. Which comes to my next concern: I'm worried about J&K in the bathroom. High school bathrooms are notorious for ganging up on kids and beating them up, so I'm hoping this won't happen in the next chapter. Awesome job as usual podium!

I think Lily' s great; she's really looking out for Alexi's best interests. So did Adrian steal the credit card? And what the heck did he put on it that the accountant is going crazy? I bet it has something to do with the event he wants Alexi playing at. Loved the scene at Nobu where Joshua was in awe of Alexi when he found out who he really is. I'm still on the fence about Adrian. Is he just being selfish; not caring about Alexi? He only needs Alexi for this event of his and then what? He'll act all cold and distant and ignore him again? Sometimes you just need to let go of a person in order to get your self-esteem and confidence back. I think with Adrian's mind games, he's depleting Alexi of his sense of self-worth. I am looking forward to Alexi and Joshua's dinner date. Maybe he'll give Joshua a chance and put Adrian on the back burner for now.

Great new story lilansui! I can feel Min's lonliness and despair. It must be horrible being shut out from his friends and not being able to be well, anything really. I know his family is only trying to protect him, but the kid is twenty-four for God's sakes. Anyway, looking forward to more!

Kingdom! I was so excited to see a new story from you! I loved "Social Skills" and knew I'd love this too. And I did. It's funny how one tragedy, one, "it could have been me" realization to get people to really look at their priorities and their life in general. A few years back I was on this two lane 'highway' on my way to pick up my kids and I was in back of this car and the woman was going maybe forty. Not two minutes later a drunk driver crossed the road and smashed into her. She was a mom of four and they needed the jaws of life to pull her out. It was horrible and if she hadn't been there at that exact moment, it would have been me. So I totally understand Aaron's train of thought when he saw that poor woman lying there in the road. He finally got his priorities straight and made the move he should have made sooner. Excellent story Kingdom! I really enjoyed it and I'm glad it ended on a happy note.

Oh man, I think Nina's gonna wind up getting killed before she winds up getting knocked up! What a bitch. I laughed when I read Alec's full name. I didn't realize his name in the previous chapters: Alec Russo, just one letter away from Alex Russo of "Wizards of Waverly Place". Ok, so I think of stupid shit while I'm reading. lol But...it's good that Heath is feeling guilty; something he's never felt before for a target. Maybe there's some way he can be redeemed. But Bo, he's gonna wind up hurting Kaila. (love that name, btw. Heath too, but I keep thinking of Heath Ledger. ) I hope Kaila's not becoming too attached. Bo's lie about emailing Heath can totally bite him in the ass if Alec asks him for Heath's email address. What will he do then? lol Another exciting chapter Kim! As always, looking forward to the next update!

Oh man, I was holding my breath, expecting Eric to come bounding in there for a glass of water or something. lol Whew! I think they dodged a bullet there. I could kick Ogre right now. I'm glad he's sorry for what he did in high school. I can't believe he would succumb to stupid high school homophobes and not stick up for his friend. Wasn't he built back in high school also? He could've kicked their asses. I'm ashamed of him. I just hope he's not using Little Man subconsciously, trying to make up to his friend. He should really look into finding Tommy (was that his name?) on Facebook or something and apologize to him. I think he needs some sort of closure; he's going to be carrying this regret and guilt with him for the rest of his life. All deserved of course. Anyway......awesome chapter Mann! =) I'm wondering when Eric's gonna figure things out. I'm sure from the way they look at each other he's gonna put two and two together pretty soon. lol

I had lied about poor, innocent, slutty McKenzie. Haha, that was hysterical! Innocent and slutty all in the same sentence. Isn't that like an oxymoron or something? lol Ok, so Corbin and Pete have been texting back and forth during the day for almost a week. Then classes start and Corb doesn't hear from Pete ALL WEEK LONG. Why wouldn't he call/text/drop by just to check up on him and make sure he's still freakin' alive???? And oh, Pete has been alive and well it seems. He's been a busy little beaver, hasn't he? Making friends with all these people, getting himself invited to all these parties and whatnot. How come when he didn't know many people, he was calling Corbin to hang out? So what now? He's popular and he just forgets about Corbin? That's not very nice. I just don't get him. I do like him, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand the mixed signals he WAS sending Corbin. Now I don't know what to think. He completely disappeared for a week. Why? Is he too good for Corbin now that he's made other friends? Is he turning out to be the snobby Brit? And Mike; I don't like him at all. He's just using Corbin to get his rocks off, nothing else. Even if they talk some of the times Corbin comes over, still. And what's with this swallowing and not showing any evidence shit? Is it subconsciously to 'erase' all thoughts of being with another guy? Would he do the same if a chick was blowing him? Like if the evidence is erased (swallowed up) then it didn't really happen? What a tool. Corbin is way too good for him. He deserves someone better; someone who can at least f'n RECIPROCATE! Poor Corb had to go back with blue balls. lol I did like Corbin's advice to Lee to think about what he wants and to take his time. That was great advice considering he was wasted when he gave it. lol Too bad Lee didn't take it. Lee was being kind of a dick when he was so worried Corbin was going to announce it to all of OD that they hooked up once. And saying right to Corbin's face that he didn't want anything negative about him to get around. Ouch. So that means hooking up with a guy is negative? Double ouch. Poor Corbin. And I also like Lee; he just doesn't think before he speaks. And I understand his confusion; he likes both girls and guys. So what? What's the big deal? Why can't he? Why does he have to choose which gender to be with? Another awesome chapter Jon! Can't wait to see if Pete's gonna be decent to Corbin during their tailgating drinking morning. =) "It's the last stop before Gaytown." That was great! =)

Damn, next update in two weeks??? That's so long...... Good for Oscar to look up information to sort of prove his father wrong. Of course he can't mention any of this to his father b/c his father will not believe it and call all the websites rubbish. lol Ok, anxiously waiting another two weeks. lol =)

That was so awesome of the guys to give Scott the money he needed! And then they wanted to volunteer at the center; they're really a great group of college kids. I can't wait for part two!

This was a really funny chapter with all the boys doing their costume changes. I need to say something though. I was a bit offended when it was mentioned that there was a Nazi (it's even hard for me to write that word) uniform in with all the other costumes. Other costumes such as police officers, cowboy, cowgirl, flapper, sailor, pirates, cheerleaders, etc. TAME costumes that are meant to look cute of funny or whatnot. A Nazi uniform DOES NOT look funny, cute or anything. In fact I think (or at least I would HOPE) that if one of those boys put that on, there would be horrified gasps in the audience. And certainly nothing for kids to see. As a person who has lost countless relatives during Hitler's regime, I think this "costume" is totally out of place. I'm sure you didn't even think of this when you added that uniform to your list of costumes, but it is something you should have thought twice about including once you saw it in writing. Ok, enough with the lecture. I just wanted to point that out. That uniform should not have been in that locker. That said, I'm looking forward to the next chapter and reading all about the storm that's headed their way. =)

Well that was unnerving. But I gather from the first chapter that what happened between Rodney and Thomas wasn't a one-time thing. Looking forward to the next installment.

I really hate reading stories about parents who abuse their kids. I don't understand why these people have kids in the first place. Anyway...I can't help but think that Devon is fifteen now. Why would he think being in the system; in foster care would be worse than his father beating him day in and day out? As bad as foster care may be, I don't know how it would be WORSE than what he lives with now. Tammy has been Devon's friend for eight years. Do you mean to tell me she has never seen one bruise? That time on the bus was the FIRST TIME she's seen anything out of the ordinary? How can that be? Wouldn't he have bruises all over his arms? Wouldn't he flinch and grimace every time he walked? How could no one notice this? Also, if Tammy is his best friend, why doesn't he know her friends, like Trent? He's never seen him before? And they go to the same school? And why are the other kids noticing him now? He's been hanging out with Tammy all these years and they're just noticing NOW? It just doesn't make sense to me. It was nice of Trent to try to help Devon in the locker room, but he totally overreacted to Devon's rant. Trent should never have stormed off and taken what Devon said personally. Anyway...good story even though it's heartbreaking. =)
