(Completely off topic: Whoo, I'm a newbie! I've been reading Dom's stories for months now, but didn't decide to join the forum 'til now. Hm, it's fun sharing my two cents...)
Oh, lovely chapter! I love it like a fat boy loves cake (no offense meant to anybody.)
Although many people might not like Joe, I don't have so much of a problem with him as I do with Haily. I don't know what it is, but something about her rubs me the wrong way. I guess I'm just not too fond of... clingy (for lack of better word) people. I find it annoying how she's dropping hints, whining about not having a date, and turning down four (or some) guys.
I don't hate her, and I hope she'll grow on me later in the story. But right now, she's not at the top of my list. (I have a tiny, wriggling feeling in my gut saying that she'll be either a huge problem concerning Nelson's homosexuality, or be great supporter. Let's hope it's the latter.)
Dear, dear, Milo. He's so... adorable! I love the shoelace line. It just seemed sweet to me. And especially how he took notes for Nelson. As soon as I read that, I knew it was going to be fine.
And for something random... I love Chad! I want to give him a hug.
