Chapter 12 – Second Serving Tuesday, the Liu household, 09:44 I didn’t go to school today. I had an unexplainable fever and headache that popped out of nowhere, so I managed to convince my mom to let me stay home for the day. I wasn’t feeling as bad as I was when I woke up and I hoped I’d get better real quick. I had the whole house to myself! My hopes were quickly dashed, though, when I realized that my parents had hidden the keys to my car. Damn, and here I was looking forward to a ni

Chapter 11 – Uncertainty Friday, Mac Worthington High School, 14:33 Anticipation. No, it was more like anxiety. I couldn’t concentrate in class – I was too busy looking at my watch and biting the tip of my pen. When the final bell rang, I quickly packed up my books and stationary and practically ran out of the room. Today was the day. If we were lucky, we’d catch the murderer before he or she could take another life. We weren’t sure how we’d be able to handle things if they did appear,

Wonderful new chapter!

Chapter 10 – Feathery Days Wednesday, Mac Worthington High School, 08:48 It was unrealistic to think that everyone would just move on after Emma’s death so quickly. The days so far this week had gone by sluggishly, almost painfully so. There were fewer rowdy bunches in the corridors, invoking this kind of stillness throughout the school. It was frightening, to be honest. I hadn’t really noticed how much of an impression Emma had made on everyone. I found Michael, Yuki and the other two

Very sad. I'll try to spread the message around that these kinds of situations are just sad and should not happen to anyone, especially children. Children should never experience such traumatic things, ever. It's not fair.

This is a really touching story. I wish I had a twin brother. I mean, I have an older brother, but our age difference makes our relationship ... different. If I had a twin brother, I'd have a best friend for life. That'd be sweet.

Chapter 9 – The Main Course Begins Monday, the Hill household, 16:32 Michael and I hadn’t talked to each other much at school, but then again, neither were the other students and teachers. Emma’s loss had been so sudden, it pretty much stopped all of us in our tracks. The teachers had given us free periods pretty much for the whole day, which should have been a reason for celebration, but even then, many of us spent the school day with whispered conversations. I decided to spend some ti

Chapter 8 – Requiem Friday, Mac Worthington High School, 16:28 My voice came out in a strangled cry. “N-no! You’re lying!” “Fuck you!” Artie said, turning on me with an accusing look on his face. “I wouldn’t be lying about this!” Suddenly I felt like I wanted to fall over, crack my head on the concrete and die too. This wasn’t possible. Had I been too late? I should have stayed at school! I broke into a cold sweat and my eyes welled up with tears. In the corner of my eye, I saw Ar

Every writer should have their own personal flair. I guess you shouldn't be so worried about having a common factor amongst all your works unless it's getting to the point where the story becomes predictable for those who have already read much of your work.

Chapter 7 – Heads Up Saturday, the Hill household, 06:49 I woke up suddenly in the morning – I don’t even know why – but I realized that Michael was not in bed anymore. Groggily blinking out the drowsiness out of my eyes, I wondered why he was up so early. And I needed to pee real badly. On my way to the bathroom, I heard the tell-tale sounds of faint splashes coming from outside the house. He must be swimming, I should have known. After I relieved myself and washed my face I made my wa

Anti-Gay Group says it's losing the war against Gay-Marriage

Yay! -
Well, I said that I dislike those people who just "pass by", read, then actually drop a review and then never come back. I know I can't force people to do what I want them to do, but I just thought it'd be nice for them to take the time to read the work again. Then again, it's really just a personal thing for me. I'm actually not too bothered by it, truthfully; again, I just thought it'd be nice for them to come back and read again.

Was this an experiment of some sorts? I think it's a pretty cool experiment though, to gauge people's reactions this way. Oh, just watched it again. Yeah, they were all actors and actresses.
-
Why don't you like the Michael character? Oh, I'm not offended or anything, I'm just a little bit curious. Thanks for the review, though.

If there are major issues with any of my stories, I'll gladly accept a mild degree of constructive criticism. However, I simply cannot accept the words of those who say "I think the story wasn't that good because I didn't like it" or something to that effect. Criticism should be as objective as possible and a story isn't bad just because you didn't like the topic/theme/characters/etc. I also dislike people who drop in to read a story of mine, or a chapter, leave some criticism or suggestions, and don't ever come back and read my stuff again. I mean, they don't even read it again to see how much I've improved or worsened. Of course, this doesn't apply to people who say a simple 'good job'.

I think season 2 lacked the drama and the ridiculous plot twists in the plot in season 1. Or, maybe it just seemed that season 1 was fresh and new, that's why it was so good. But, overall, season 2 was okay to watch. I liked all of Charice's (Sunshine Corazon) performances.

I agree with jian_sierrra! I have the beginning and end of the story, and then the main turning points in the story, and then just write everything else. Small encounters with other characters, dialog and descriptions, even characters, just pop up by themselves as I write. It's fun that way! It really helps you to tap into your other forms of creativity.

I think it'll be different for everyone, but a kiss on the first date should be all right. Just go with the flow, I guess. But then again, I don't have much experience in dating.

Chapter 6 – Ready or Not Tuesday, the Liu household, 18:01 Michael and I pretty much ripped each our selves away from each other in one rapid motion. I scrambled up, my heart beating fast for entirely different reasons, panicking. Anna was at the doorway, looking uncomfortable, like she wasn’t sure if she was interrupting something. Well, she was, actually. “Were you two … kissing?” Anna asked slowly, her eyes wide open in shock. “This isn’t what it looks like,” I began, sounding pat

Thank you for the review. This is the first place I've posted this story on and I'll keep doing so until it's done. It's good to know some people are reading it at all. I'll just be patient ... maybe it'll only be a matter of time.

Just dropping by to greet all the new members. So ... hi there! I'm pretty new here myself, by the way.

Wow, that's very sad. Hope he gets well real quick. I'll pray for him!
