    An hour before the party I perched on the edge of the sink, staring into the mirror. In my hand was a bottle of hair mousse. According to the bottle, the instructions were simple: you washed your hair, conditioned it, rinsed it—and then, without retching, you simply squirted the mousse onto your hands and massaged it into your scalp for dark, shining, frizz-free curls. Job done. And yet… And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to spray the mousse onto my palms. I couldn’t even bear the th

  3. Yeah, got to say I find this topic really disturbing. I get the whole attraction with perpetually unavailable straight guys but to dedicate an entire thread on how to ensare them is just weird. And a little unhealthy.

    A Solidarity Kiss

    See, Elijah's not all bad right? Glad you liked the chapter! I think the other characters considered Elijah kissing Jamie as an 'outing' solely because he drew attention to it--it's like he said, if there's no 'label' you can do what you want, within reason. Kissing Jamie in public gave him that label. Yeah, Elijah's logic is kinda flawed with regards to his and Tom's conversation about kissing guys... He knows that, but he's relying on his belief that people are naturally stupid. And he's not wrong in a way--Tom may not believe him, but he doesn't pick him up on it

    That's the nicest thing you ever said. I've had to live with your cruelty and abuse so long that the compliment makes me feel vaguely uneasy...

    A Solidarity Kiss

    Wow, thank you for your review. I know this story (and its protagonist) is a bit intense, so it means a lot that you're enjoying it. I hope I can continue to live up to your expectations It's going to be about a week until the next chapter is out, it's essay season at the minute. But it'll happen.
  7. I was on my way to the swimming pool when someone called my name; I wondered mildly whether I cared enough to turn round. It wasn’t that I was having a bad day, but I was having one of those languorous, slow days, one of those days where I could barely walk for vague, muffled, blanketed sleepiness; one of those days where stringing words together to make a cutting, sly, or sarcastic whole was beyond my mental capacity. I recognised the voice, but I didn’t turn round until he called again.
  8. Yeah, Elijah's sure puzzling. But that's good right? Who wants a boring protagonist anyway Next chapter is coming out tomorrow (I did say today but I've given up on that). This one's for you, for your incredible review. Thanks

    Five on the Bed

    Hey Lisa, Yeah, I really enjoyed writing the scene between Elijah and Chris in the kitchen. Actually I really enjoyed writing this chapter altogether. Definitely one of my favourites so far. I did wonder whether I'd gotten a little too poetic with the birds outside the window... Apparently not

    Five on the Bed

    Hey Joey! I'm pleased you're enjoying it, and gotta say I love you a little bit for being the first person to call Elijah 'normal'. Next chapter is up tonight or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow though, I'm wading through an essay right now

    "God, you're rude."

    Hey, thanks for the review! I'm glad you felt such a connection with Elijah, I'm trying to keep him as realistic as possible. I'll be counting on you to tell me what you think
  13. I just discovered this topic.... I haven't really got anything to add except that I think it's SUCH A COOL TOPIC. Whoever started this topic is an evil genius. Oh and it totally depends on the mood I'm in at the time. What's a longhorn?

    Elijah

    Thanks Yeah, Elijah's a pretty strange character... And he only gets stranger after Chapter 1. Hope you keep reading!

    Yeah, this was another tough chapter to write. We're coming to the middle around now and, well, Elijah's got a lot of learning to do. But it'll happen, don't worry. But I really wouldn't worry about Chris getting insecure

    I really like eclairs. And I told you Chris would grow on you eventually
  18. Despite that the occupant was by no means in need of one, Sophie’s bedroom was equipped with a king sized bed. A whale could have easily drowned in that bed. A giant might have dropped it, as little kids drop wriggling goldfish, and the poor thing would never have been found again. I wasn’t complaining though. I was a big fan of Sophie’s king sized bed. And I’d come to the conclusion, upon seeing it for the first time, that anything else would have looked stupid anyway—Sophie’s bedroom wa

    October came, and before long it was time to apply to universities. The school was filled with a palpable sense of frenzied movement as the Upper Sixth Oxbridge applicants hurried to finish their applications before the other students and, in the case of those whose attitude to life took on a slower, more lackadaisical hue—those students like myself—complete their personal statements. The other Oxbridge kids had finished them weeks ago. And I came to realise, far too late, that my lack of pa

    Hey that was great. I love how sincere and earnest it was, you really got the emotions down perfectly. Can't wait for more
  21. There's only one person I'd like to thank... Anyta, who I think is the nicest person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not only is she a very talented writer and a very talented beta-reader, but she's also a great friend. Cheers Anyta Oh and everyone here has been very friendly too, so thanks for that. Except Cia... Didn't much like her review of my story at all

    Michael, you're a star, thanks. I'll have the next chapter out today or tomorrow at the latest
  23. Jasper

    Mrs. Laurence

    You don't like Chris?! Is that even possible? Chris is sexy as hell. Jeeeeez Anya, you have no taste If you don't like Chris then you'll love the next chapter... And thanks

    Mrs. Laurence

    Hey Lisa, thanks for the incredible review So, I don't wanna give too much away... But you hit the mark with the grandparents. Elijah's grandmother will feature quite heavily as the story progresses. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. The next chapter'll be along in a couple of days
  25. Gossip Girl!!?? I'm hurt, Nephy Yeah, it was always gonna be touch and go whether I included this chapter at all--figured there's only so much you guys can forgive Elijah, no matter how pretty he is --but if he'd been perfect all along the story'd be pretty dull, right?
