Oh I loved it, Comsie! I thought Parker was such a cute character, and it was sweet how he initiated most of the flirting. By the end, their interactions really had me smiling. It was another great story! But then again, I love all of your work. To be honest, I look for updates from you at least once a week! Your stories always seem to cheer me up when I need it, and make me smile when I don't think it's otherwise possible sometimes. You're a gifted writer, and I hope you continue this story and your other popular pieces for a long time to come. Your stories make a difference, at least to people like me. Keep up the amazing work.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Myr. I know you must be getting that a lot, but I hope each condolence helps you feel better knowing that others are wishing you well. I wish you all the best getting through this hard time, and I hope that your mother is able to move on too. Hugs.

Greetings, minions! I hope all of you are doing well and that your year has been running smoothly so far. As for my new year, you ask? Well, I wouldn't use the word "smooth" in any way, shape, or form. I feel like my life has been like a soap opera or something over the last 2 months! It's seriously been too insane to believe, but what I'm about to tel you is 100% true. ---- So, in my last blog I described the sad ending to my 2 year relationship with my girlfriend, Ariel. If you don't want to go back and read it, the short version is that she cheated on me with her best friend, begged me for forgiveness, got it, then decided she didn't want me back after all and left me for the best friend. Get it? Got it? Good. Well anyway, this is where it gets interesting (as if it wasn't interesting enough already!): After Ariel left me, I was heartbroken. So I turned toward my artwork for solace. In my grief, I created several paintings that reflected heartbreak, and Ariel saw me working on them one day. She seemed a little upset once she realized they were directed towards her/ our relationship, but she didn't say anything other than that they looked nice. A couple of weeks later, my art teacher put up those pieces on the bulletin board out in the hallway. She didn't ask me, but I didn't mind. A couple of days later, however, I noticed that 2 of my pieces were gone. I assumed that my teacher had taken them down, but BOY was I wrong. It turns out, they had been STOLEN!!! 3 things immediately stuck out to me: 1) TWO pieces of mine were missing. Not just one. And no one else had anything stolen 2) The pieces hadn't been signed. This appeared to be a personal attack, since two of my pieces were gone, but someone had to have known I had painted them since they were unsigned. 3) I don't have any enemies, so who would do this? My mind went immediately to Johnny. The best friend. My ex-girlfriend's new man. So, I explained my theory to my teacher: 1) Ariel saw the art pieces and told Johnny they made her upset 2) Johnny decided to get rid of them so she wouldn't have to look at them 3) Because he's a dick, he probably destroyed them too. And guess WHAT? My art teacher confronted Johnny, and he lied to her a few times before finally CONFESSING! That jerk!!! And I was right on every single point! You cannot believe how happy it made me to hear that he was responsible, because I knew I'd get to see him PUNISHED! And guess what? They suspended him for 4 days! Now, I think he should've been expelled, but whatever. Want to know the worst part in all of it though? Ariel totally supported him. She didn't think what he did was wrong and she didn't feel bad that my feelings got hurt or that my art got ruined. There was a time when she would have cared... but she's turned into a total bitch. I think he's rubbed off on her. She never used to be that insensitive to people. It's sad to watch, and hurtful to endure. Oh well. Anyway, I just thought you would find all of that at least moderately amusing. High school drama... there's nothing quite like it Thanks for tuning in, everyone! Dylan

First off, sorry for the late response! Aw thank you, Lisa. I always appreciate your kind words. It always brings a smile to my face when I read your reviews. I'm glad you're so involved in the story - which is good... since you're my editor! I know! I loved writing this chapter to showcase their interaction. Young love is so cute. And there's definitely more of it to come! And all answers will be revealed in the next chapter. I promise.

Sorry for the late reply! But yes, I do plan to continue with it, eventually. I don't like leaving stories open forever. It irks me when other people do that! I actually am going to update this within the next month or two - after I'm finished writing and posting my new short story "In the Rough". Thank you for leaving a comment. It makes me really happy to know people are enjoying my work!

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:11094] In the Rough Someday... love will find me. I know it has to. Judging from how many happy couples I see on a daily basis making out on television, on the silver screen, at the Starbucks down the street, in front and inside of the local movie theater, and around every corner in my school hallways... I know that love is everywhere. I just wish it would make its way into my life for a change. I'm tired of watching everyone else be content with their blissful li

It's pretty good here in SoCal. $2.75 about a week ago. Not sure what it is right now, but it's below $3.00.

“So, everything okay with you? You logged off pretty quick from our chat last night,” Tanis inquired as we settled into a steady pace on our walk home. The miserable heat from summer had begun to dissipate in the last few days, and a soothing breeze blew my bangs out of my eyes. A cool blue sky was painted above us and a long, gray sidewalk stretched in front of us. I scratched my neck and fidgeted with my backpack strap, casting Tanis an uncertain expression. I wasn’t sure how to describe
