  1. My mind keeps flicking back to the other day when I went to pick up my SUV from the repair shop. I had been waiting in the reception area for my car and the invoice. I couldn’t believe my eyes, there he was again – November. Twenty-four years I’ve been pining for this man, all through high school and still now he makes my heart race. He stared at me for two seconds, told me my car would be ready in a couple of minutes and he was gone again. I attempted to apologise for that jackass Paul, but he

    Sorry it's his Mothers, Grandmother. I will fix the wording. I hope that will help solve the confusion.

    Lmao, due to present company, I neither agree nor disagree.

    My apologies, although, I'm pretty sure it was written as a bonnet. I am Australian, so I know these already. But have been told that since most of the readers are used to American English I should probably write it that way. I will try and take better care in future chapters. It makes it confusing when I write sometimes flicking between British English and American English.
  5. “Morning,” I yawned, flicking the coffee maker on in the breakroom. “Yeah, morning,” Justin grumbled, ever the morning person, putting his lunch in the fridge. “Good weekend, huh?” I smiled. “Do you reckon I can crash in your spare room or the couch for a couple of nights?” Shit! “Yeah, sure, why? What’s up?” I asked leaning against the bench, my arms folded across my chest. “I broke up with Dean. It’s done, last time I fall for his shit,” he snapped at me. Thank God, D

    You're not wrong there, no way in hell would I opt to go back to high school today either.

    I agree 150%. Are you still miffed about waiting for the chapter?

    Paul is a d-bag, I assure you. It seems like maybe Brady has changed in the years he's been away, only for it to come back and bite him in the ass.

    Yeah, a couple of secrets, but what high school didn't.
  12. I thought to myself as I hopped out of the taxi. I straightened out my suit, and then looked at the front of the auditorium at my old high school. It was decorated with balloons around the front and a big banner that said “WELCOME BACK CLASS OF 96!” Can’t believe I’m back here again. Others from my class were swanning in the front doors with their partners. Some nodded to me in recognition, some glowered shooting daggers, others not at all. I must have been a giant douche back then. I was th

    Too Close To Home

    I agree to a certain extent. Blu did go ahead and add the garage to the house without a second thought to the money, his only concern being their family being safe. Although, he felt guilty doing it as a knee jerk reaction, and remorse set in because he didn't consult Kyle first which is what he apologised to Kyle for. But Kyle has been making decisions a lot without even talking to Blu about it, that's where the fight comes in, whether money is involved or not, but Kyle keeps bringing up the money. It's not really what is making Blu crazy at the moment.

    Mine was professionally installed so the sound was unbelievable, and the equipment of good quality. You could hear the individual instruments it was so clear. Ghetto or not, it was awesome, I loved it.

    Chapter 1 - Ember

    In 1993 I bought a little bubble car, the stereo I had put in it cost me about two months pay checks, was bigger than the car. It had two massive boxed subs in the hatch, 6x9's in the parcel tray, a massive watt amp under the drivers seat, splits in the front. It won two sound off's and volume height was 2 db under a jet. It was awesome, except now I walk around saying, "Huh? I didn't hear what you said." LOL. It also use to get me some weird looks, that happens when you blast Merle Haggard at a ridiculous volume to embarrass your 12 yo nephew though. "So, uncool Aunt Joh, turn it down, oh my god, people are starting at us." It's so much fun to torment pre-teens and teenagers. That poor car just about rattled out of it's screws by the time I traded it in.

    And fly they did, these are pretty scarce these days. I used to have a white one, granted not an GTR-XU1just a standard two door LJ 6cyl but it was freakin' awesome. Until I had to get a grown ups car. I wish I still had it, it would fetch a pretty penny these days, and I could probably be able to fix it myself no real fancy electronics. Nostalgia runs wild, just looking at the photos takes me back to when I didn't have a care in the world except where to go on a Friday night and Torana's weren't that big of a deal except how much chrome you could get under the hood.
  21. Here; here. Now next time I want to write something. I'm going to send it to you, then get you to articulate what I'm trying to say correctly.

    I'm sorry Rick, I didn't mean to imply you were. Just that your awesome for helping and I'm not alone in this story.

    LOL, yes they can, it's so hard to resist when they look at you with their innocent puppy dog eyes. I'm with you on the reunions, didn't much like the people when I went to school, don't know why I'd want to give them the time of day twenty years later when I haven't spoken with a single soul during and since.

    Aw, that's so... okay now I'm a little emotional that you would say something like that. I can only claim to half a writer, John and I have spent a lot of time creating this story together about six months I think we worked out the other day. It wouldn't be anywhere near this calibre without John, not to mention your contribution keeping us on the right path along with Glenn and then Tony cleaning up our mess. So there you go it's been a team effort all along and I can't thank any of you enough for all of it. Thanks guys.
