  1. “STOP!” The voice echoed loudly in the hallway as the crowd gathered in a circle around us, “What is going on here?!” I crawled to the wall and leant against it, my hand trying helplessly to nurse the contusion on my stomach. Before Max had time to react, Nathan pushed him off to the ground. He stood up and took a few steps back. “Sir, look at him! He wanted to kiss me and when I refused, he pinned me down and straddled me!” He exclaimed innocently. The students burst in laughter, but the tea
  2. Happy birthday .
  3. Sorry for the delay @Dyno, I had a bad experience with a eeepc, so I'm reluctant to give its older brother a try. Plus, the specs are unfortunately a no-no: the storage is basically inexistant @Milos: Actually yeah, they have good specs and a rather good reputation, and that's what makes them appealing General public doesn't know it in France either - I can't really tell about Europe -, I think it's more of a niche brand. Anyway, I've been fooled like a newbie. They used the "Starting at xxx€" trick on me, and I failed miserably at noticing it! Although they're cheaper than Alienware & co, they still cost *way* more than what I'd Invest in a laptop. Thanks you too for the pieces of advice
  4. Happy birthday again!
  5. Howdy how! Yesterday, my laptop crashed once more, and I realized it's way past time to change it. Trying to find a good laptop at a good price is always a pain, there are so many brands and models that it's hard to find *the* one. As I was browsing some specialized websites, I stumbled across a brand that's new to me: Clevo. They have an interesting feature that allows you to customize the laptop *and* to choose between different OS (Windows 7/8/10, a few distro of linux, and without OS). Do any of you know this brand? I've read good things about it, but some extra feedback never hurt! By the way, maybe some would have a model to recommend? I don't need a gaming laptop, merely one that allows me to: - Browse internet - Watch videos (not 4k) - Use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) Laptops with 2 hard drives are becoming more and more common, and I'd like a laptop with a SSD (to run OS) and a HD (for storage) ≥7200rpm. A budget of 500€ max I hope someone will be able to help me! Thanks in advance Best, FM
  6. I was more picturing it along the lines of a short synopsis provided by the author - if (s)he wanted to, of course - as (s)he posted the link to his response in the adequate forum topic; and that this synopsis would be integrated on top in the quote frames of the blog entry - in order not to make it too clunky. Yet, I can definitely see how inconvenient it may turn out to be. Mea culpa
  7. If I may, adding a short synopsis (by the author) might make it even more appealing for potential readers

    Chapter 1

    I don't really have words for this. That must have been a really distressing evening and night for you and your family. It's no wonder that you were numb during the drive home, it's a hell of an emotional trauma. Every single of the too many times I had to undergo this kind of moment, I couldn't remember anything of what happened after the last breath. Stating there's a "before" and a "after" is definitely legitimate since it tears you apart - especially when it's your parents.

    Sweet reality

    Both thanks to you! Rosa is kind, caring, and all; until you get between her and her sleep Especially if you're a scaredy kitten hidden under your covers
  10. I like the new format and I'm commenting anyway I like the fact that all responses are displayed in the blog entry. I'm not following every author, and I'm not checking the story updates regularly either, so it's useful IMHO. Plus, it can be a way for new authors to get some good exposure **shrugs**
  11. I never wanted to leave his embrace, but I didn’t have a choice. It was almost midnight, and as flexible as Rosa was, she was still in charge of me and couldn’t let me stay out any later. Fortunately for me, Nate was a bit more responsible than I was, and when the driver arrived at his door, he literally dragged the sad and pouting boy from the bed. “Your coach is waiting for you, sir.” He told me amusedly. “But I don’t want to go!” I pouted, looking for comfort in his eyes. “It’s not as if y
  12. Not really my dope ahah I can listen to it, like I won't zap if it's on TV; but I wouldn't search it on youtube
  13. I knew it! Geez, are you a stalker or something?
  14. Omg stop copying me! How about this one clochette? I have a feeling that you like it
  15. Also, let's please not forget this one: Lukas Graham - 7 Years

    *hands cyber-tissues again* I agree with your last sentence, although I'd say that he'd do his best *not* to remember or to even live his birthday. And thanks again for your awesome job

    Thank you It's indeed a sad story. Poor boy! It's probably one of the text I've struggled the more with, I'm glad you liked it! How about "Café Chic"?
  23. “Did anyone survive the accident?” The words escaped my lips in a smothered whisper as I leaned against the wall with a loud thud. The music faded away, the lights dimmed, and the fragrant curls of thick smoke froze in eerie shapes before my eyes; the entire world seemed to stop as the answer I was dreading drowned out in the heartbreaking silence on the other end of the line. “Yes…but they demanded that we get there as…as soon as possible. They don’t know how…how long she…” His voice shattered
  24. Come in, fellow readers, and live the unique night that experienced this boy. Warning: tissues might be necessary.
