I find your request for patience funny. You leave us hanging, and ask for time. Like we have a choice in the matter. Cliffhangers are great as long as you don't wimp out with the Answers. Charlie has been a delight to read. I'm hoping part 4 lives up to drama filled part 3. The stories you have created are delightful. Keep up the great work. I'll keep a vigil going until you get back. No rotten fruit. This time.

Great chapter. Charlie taking lover boy to "the spot" was hilarious. Teens do stupid things. I find it ironic Travis thinks Derek would write him instead of Charlie. Your story is progressing nicely. I'm ready for the reunion, this chapter left us hanging. Charlie being in love with Derek is no surprise, waiting 27 chapters for the confession.... HEARTBREAKING. I wonder what dear papa going to say, when junior admits his feeling for Charlie? I hope Luke was watching this from his car, Derek is clearly dangerous and he doesn't need the beat down both Travis and Derek will be giving him by the end of this wonderful story.

I think this story is getting better each week. I hope you are enjoying writing this, as much as I'm reading it. I don't know what is coming and that is a good thing. This story doesn't have sex, so the plot you have crafted, the angst in waiting for the next chapter is truly magical. Derek is just a normal young man. I can't wait to see what trouble awaits. Part 4 should be great. Hamen. Well done. I don't throw fruit, I throw blue cheese. A little goes along way.

Blood... All I could thing about was, dang MR. PERFECT is not so perfect after all. HIS father sounds vile, maybe Luke is his long lost step brother. The mom's overreaction to the quack who Mrs. C recommended was funny. I always thought mommy dearest had a few screws loose. She needs to sign up for shrink visits herself. Derek is progressing, I hope. Though 3 hours, the boy needs an IPhone with an alarm setting. Time management is not Derek strong suit. LOL! Are we going to get a visit from FATHER KNOWS BEST? I think it is needed, ASAP! We have a lot to cover, glad I am just reading this great story, you my friend have a lot of typing ahead of you. TUESDAY'S with Charlie makes for a GREAT DAY!

I just knew I would not like this chapter. In the past 15 chapters I kind of knew where we were going. Downhill for sure, but generally, Cooper would be able to stand back up. Now, with Cooper life completely falling apart it is just hard to watch this train wreck, we all can see that is coming. You have a lot of pieces to sort out, I don't envy you. When you added Morgan, when Chase was confessing, I thought he would show up, I just assumed he would have clothing on. Chase told Cooper to fight for their relationship. I guess he meant it. LOL! I guess they both like EX sex. I liked how you finally made Cooper think of the question most people ask when their world is coming apart. "Was it worth it?" In Cooper's case I hope the answer is YES, however the drama you keep creating makes me wonder if YES is even possible anymore. He has lost in about 2 months I think, His HOME, His KIDS, His WIFE, His JOB, and His MAN. If He had a Dog, I would bet he would have lost the dog as well. When you go for broke, you don’t let up. What I find so shocking is that, Cooper is not the same young man I met LAST JANUARY when I began the LIST. He has grown so much in over 200k+ words, but those words from the first few chapters still define him, his choices when he was young and inexperienced are controlling his present, and undoubtedly his future, if he lets them. Maybe when this story is over he comes out with just a few battle scars, but I foresee the scars will be painful. I'm thankful that you post weekly. I cannot wait for Chapter 17.

I finally remember why I didn't have this much drama in school. I had a man. Logan needs to go get that itch scratched by STEVEN, and leave the BHBs alone. He played and LOST. TorI going to want a pound of flesh, I hope to help alleviate the Summer mess. Skunks... Lord I had one spray my ex-friends dog. that smell drove a wedge right through home at the time. I coughed when I read that. You are moving along nicely. I assume just a little bit more... I like the fast pace of this story. You really are great a constructing a imaginary world to get lost in, Just hurry soon. BHBs are impatient as you are well aware, LOL!

I never doubted you for a second. I knew Logan would have to betray a friend. Sadly he is foolish enough to do it. He needed to call your character from the List named KYLE. He could help Logan straighten out this mess. He clearly didn't watch any Mean Girls, Probably to slow for him, but it would have helped. Maybe Taylor gave loan it to him, before he abandons his one true friend. He gotta learn to just lead people down a path. He didn't have time to learn this from the master (TORI) . He is still an apprentice. His lesson I hope start shortly. Great Job! I actually think about your characters. WEIRD!

LOL! The plot gets thicker. The former BHB is back. He needs to fight BHB against BHB, then get out of the WAY. I would call the Perse residence tomorrow. This chick was played once before, and Tori can do it again. I'm not sure Logan can do it... His time was short on the throne. Grab Steven and MOVE on. You got me hooked like a Stephen King Thriller. Bravo!

When are you going to admit this is NOT fiction. You got the characters down. I think you changed the names to protect the innocence, Are you a reformed GHB? LOL! He won't last a Queen bee. LOL! When the true Queen is away the mice like to play. I have told you before your prose is divine. Keep going.

Hands down the best chapter. You had me fooled. I thought she would retreat, Then pounce. BHB STYLE. Not try to maim him. I see why Taylor was a punk, and didn't use the evidence beforehand. He knew this girl was crazy. Power is a hard thing to give up. Hillary should ask for some help with those pants suits. LOL!

“You’re the only one who had the pictures, you said so,” he said. “And you said if I didn’t get Logan back you’d release them. How the fuck could you, Tor? How could you humiliate me like this?” Funny how she got played. That Summit Hill education didn't help Tori out much did it? The story is nice, the drama is real, Steven is the real thing I hope. Tori Threat at the end was cute, I won't worry much. He has those pictures. LOL! Your a great story teller. Just watch out... your getting so good with these mini chapters I might want you to write even more.

You love your water sports athletes! I was thinking he was going to play football. Since he has to date a queen bee, and we are in TEXAS after all. LOL! Football is king here. Can't wait to see the fall out. Tori and Eric will survive, but will Logan?

Tori was FAT! LOL! The twist you weave are truly a delight I thought maybe she murdered someone. She known to drop large rocks on people personal property. LOL! I knew Eric was a PUTZ. That is a great word for a sisterboy. LOL! Taylor a Snake... really ... shocking how creatures of the same species play together. I guess that makes Logan a snake as well. High school was always full of them. Hopefully they can evolve.

Logan wants to be a BHB... He needs to become THE BHB. Playing second fiddle is what Taylor did, and now he is on the outside looking in. This is why I didn't like certain people in High School. Love the story...

Your brain child is playing with fire. I always was told you can get burnt so I left it alone. Eric is just not enough man for Logan. He reminds me of KYLE. Send in the CHASE Double. I know you got one in you. LOL!

This is a great departure from the LIST... I checked no BISEXUAL this time. LOL! I went to a school like this. Well he knows now not to piss off the BHB, Better to join them then to fight them until you can destroy them. Hope he has read the Art of War, Logan going to need it.

She played him like any PIMP would. LOL! He wants to talk about Charlie, Great but it will cost him. I hope he gets the help he needs. You created a shrink I would like to visit. The wiener metaphor was terrific. I hope it was a metaphor and not foreshadowing, the don't grow back together once sliced in half. LOL! When do we get to see CHARLIE? I misses the child, his teen years have been stressful. Getting a boyfriend, while losing your best friend is hard on a young person soul.

Travis is my hero. Charlie is a wimp. Derek is just Derek. I find it funny how we all forget the emotions of being outed. I would be a wimp near Derek as well. He outed me, does he want to hit me next? would have been my thought. I wouldn't look at him either. He seen those eyes before, nothing new to see in them. A twisted delight this story is.

Funny how she thinks she can tell him what to do. He can't even think remember where he is going. LOL! I think it was great she was understanding of her son, she didn't need to hit Derek though. He brain dead enough, leave the perfect boy the few remaining brain cell he has, so he can repair his relationship with CHARLIE.

I never thought he would out Charlie. Travis I thought he would out him. Kind of sad when you think all he wanted was his buddy. He has allowed his insecurities drive a wedge between himself and the only friend he truly has. Who else would call you hero at 12. LOL!

When I read this... I just knew it would not end well... for Derek. Charlie has Travis, when you are in love, that what you need mostly. Friends come second. Then family. Later on we change those priorities.

I really must love this story... it is missing my pet peeve when reading fiction. SEX. LOL! Hamen, you tell a masterful story. I've read every chapter and still wait like a kid in a candy store for my coffee and donuts with a 4000 word chapter on those Tuesday mornings. How many more chapters are we looking at? I have to plan out my Tuesdays without Charlie.

This was just great! You tell a wonderful story. I had this same pact with my roommate. HE just didn't know I was going to bring home DUDES. I won. He lost. We both still laugh about it. I didn't get his brother, although I tried to find out if he was swinging my way. He was but we just did NOT work out. He wanted Kids, I don't have a womb. End of Story. Love scenes hit the spot. LOL! Funny how we find stories that make us relive parts of our own lives. Hopefully, you authors will stick to my good points.

I read this story in spring of 2000. I was just graduating from High School. I stopped reading when you broke them up and ended on Jeff's Frog joke. LOL! I never came back. So fast forward 11 years and a day, and I'm totally in awe of what you wrote. I came by the story again by reading the stories and I was in for a painful reminder when I reread that chapter again. I went to my journal, and I had commented on what I learned from this story. They are the 3 points I said I took from that story. Maybe I was a temperamental teen, but I never forget the life lessons of this story. 1. Chose wisely... I never dated closeted people, I met many but I only wanted to talk to them in the open, I never wanted to hide myself. Matt's betrayal grated on me for a year. I should have checked back sooner. LOL! 2. Have hot sex... if it is bland time for a change of a partner or it time for some toys, LOL! 3. My second question of men I dated was do you see children in your future. If they answered in the affirmative I told myself to stop because I can't provide them, and this draw is strong. Finally I asked a follow up, Will adoption work? LOL! The looks I received, didn’t matter. I printed out this story for reference back in the day, I still have it. I might add the rest, but with the recession and ink, I might just have to forward a link to the site. Lucky me! I found out the true meaning of working it out. 11 years late but still a great read.

Loved the outing, didn't like how he walked himself back into the closet. I guess it was necessary, but when your hot and have a man do you need anyone else. Looking for more soon!
