    I agree completely, that Nicola is a total bitch, and Sue can't even see it when Robbie points it out. I hope Robbie refuses to apologize and comes up with a cool revenge, but unfortunately he's not very smart, so it would be more luck than cleverness if he did. Ha ha, I love your review Tim. Yes Nicola is a real bitch and we will have to see how Robbie handles her in the next few chapters.

    I don't think that Robbie is in need of rehab. He's only dabbled with drugs and alcohol on a couple of occasions, no worse than any other teenager. You're right however, he does have serious issues and he could probably do with talking to a therapist. Don and Sue are realizing that their easy-going approach isn't working with him.

    Great review of a great story. Well worth reading.

    When I woke, it was dark and I was disorientated. My mouth was parched, I was dehydrated and in need of another pee. My head was throbbing as I stumbled out of bed and tried to find my way around an unfamiliar room. ‘Where’s the bloody bathroom gone’? I could barely see where I was going, so I felt my way along the wall until I came across the bathroom door and then fumbled for the light switch, covering my eyes against the sudden brightness. I took a leak and then cupped my hands to

    When I offered to take Fran home, what I actually meant of course, was that I would get a cab to take us to her house and then another cab to take me home again after we had supposedly talked. I wasn’t sure however, what there was left to talk about, or if I even wanted to go into any more detail about my clandestine relationships with two boys with whom I had been sworn to secrecy. Other than Tom’s older brother and the nosey social worker, no one else knew that I had ‘fooled around’, as Tom li

    I was up and ready early on Saturday morning for what was to be my first trip to the city and only the second time away from Cobourg. Despite the dark cloud still hanging over me from the day before, caused by my break-up with Fran, I was still determined to make the most of the opportunity to spend some quality time with my friend Rory and Daniel. I still felt bad about Fran, even after my chat with Nathan and even though I was certain that I was doing the right thing, both for her and for me.

    I liked this chapter and the interaction between the characters. Well done Luis; keep them coming.

    Thank you for your interest in this story. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but new chapters should now be posted on a more regular basis.

    Thank you so much for your review and encouragement, more chapters should follow now on a regular basis.

    Thanks for your review. Robbie knows what he wants now, lets see if he can see it through.

    Thanks for your review Parker. You're right Robbie is often his own worst enemy and makes things difficult for himself. Maybe he will have the courage to do things right this time.
  12. Dodger
    Thanks or your review. I think that Robbie is fairly certain now who he wants to date and he and where his sexual preference lies. Now he needs to act.

    “What do you mean you can’t come over this weekend?” Fran was stern faced but reasonably controlled when she turned on me towards the end of our chemistry class on Tuesday morning. At least she wasn’t shouting, I knew that she wouldn’t do that in the classroom. “Fran I’m sorry, but I can’t do it. We need to talk okay, I’m serious.” “We don’t need to talk,” she said calmly, “it’s quite clear that you wanna split up with me.” I froze on my stool; my eyes fixed on her. I was expecting her to con

    Back to school

    Dodger commented on Luiz's story chapter in Back to school

    Valentine's day in June? I thought it was February everywhere. Never mind; I've spent more Valentine's days alone than I care to remember. Onto the story; I think that it's great and you're doing a fine job writing in English. There are some phrases that are a little off, but overall, it's a very readable and enjoyable story. Good work.

    Apologies for all those waiting patiently for the next chapter of The Cockney Canuck. I've had a very busy couple of months and haven't had the time that I need to edit. I've also had to make a few changes/improvements to the upcoming chapters. I will be posting very soon and hopefully on a more regular basis. Thank you so much for your interest in this story.

    Whatever that is. So am I.

    Yeah, Henry Cooper was also a great boxer and a really nice bloke. I had the pleasure of meeting 'enry a few years ago in the UK before his death. I felt bad afterwards because despite all his great achievements in boxing, all I wanted to talk about, were the two fights that he lost to Ali. He didn't seem to mind too much; a true gent and Ali of course a true legend.

    I hardly slept a wink that night, tossing and turning until the early hours of Monday morning. I had been up a couple of times pacing around the family room, trying to tire myself out, but my mind was still racing from the events of the weekend and more specifically from the text that Nathan had sent, just a few hours earlier. I had read it a dozen times or more and as I went back to bed with precious few hours remaining before school, I was able to recite it word for word over in my head. The l

    The next morning, I fell out of bed, quite literally. I had never done this before, but for some reason, I guess I must have just rolled right off the side, because I woke up on my back on the floor, still wrapped in the duvet. I couldn’t remember if I had been dreaming or not and I couldn’t remember actually falling, but when I hit the floor it was loud enough to wake Daniel, who, after realizing what had happened, sat up in bed laughing. Seconds later, after a light tap on the door, we were jo

    When I was ready to leave at seven-thirty, Nathan was still there, and not looking as if he was about to go any time soon. Each time he had feigned an attempt to leave, it was met with stiff resistance from Daniel, who then persuaded him to stay a little longer. Nathan didn’t seem overly concerned about this and I got the impression that he was keen to stay for as long as possible. I had been listening to their banter from the safety of the bedroom and I was surprised by how close they were, whe

    I love this review Tim and I think that this is a very good feature to have on the site. I had overlooked this story and would have missed this gem but for this recommendation.

    I must have tried on at least fifty different pairs of sunglasses that day at the mall before Nathan finally decided on the pair that I should buy. This wasn’t the way that I was used to doing things; I was a ‘buy the first pair that I liked the look of and get out of there quick,’ kind of guy. I didn’t like to make a fuss or waste too much time over something that I saw as not being very important. I couldn’t remember ever owning a pair of sunglasses anyway; not much need for them in England. P

    Saturday began with a clear blue sky and the forecast was much the same as the day before, which had reached a decent 22º not bad for the end of April. I was up early leaving Daniel asleep, before heading upstairs on a mission. I had already showered and had spent ages in front of the mirror choosing what to wear. It was a beautiful day and I was in the best mood ever. Today I was going to fix up Daniel’s old bicycle that he had recently given to me and put it to good use, oh and Nathan was comi

    It was remarkable how much my life had changed in just one year. Twelve months ago, I was still living with my mom in our apartment in London. She had started her treatment which seemed to make her even more ill and constantly tired. By the time I had reached fourteen, I was used to being in the apartment on my own, I could look after myself, do my washing, clean the house and cook a basic meal for myself, but it wasn’t very nice without her. I wanted to be responsible, so that my mom would

    It was the third week of April, and the weather had become settled and warm. It was difficult to imagine that barely six weeks ago snow had still covered almost everything in sight. A country that had been covered in a blanket of white since the day that I had arrived was now mostly green. I had never given much thought as to what was under all that snow. It was just snow, and having arrived there in mid-winter, it was all that I had known. Canada, I had concluded, had only two seasons winter an
