Thanks for reading! Luke's Momma will be explained one of these days. I look forward to Luke/Cindy's relationship a lot. It will likely be more developed soon. (Don't want to spoil y'all) I also don't want to spoil y'all about the friends either.. Nice that y'all are having these questions though! They are important plot points for me... Wee! I hope you're liking the story.

Thanks for reading! There is definitely a battles of wills going on between Jackson and his parents. You're right too though, although unwillingly, he has done what they've told him... after that first night when he did run off to the bonfire after being grounded... I think we're in a part of their story where it will be difficult to relate to the struggles the parents have with Jackson, since we're seeing it after the straw broke the camel's back... lol. I hope the interactions don't become too bogged down and I can move them all forward a bit in the coming chapters.

Thanks for reading! Yeah they've really put on their parenting pants, maybe they're worried because he leaves for college in the coming years and they are realizing they can't parent him whilst he's there by himself... Maybe they're not tired too.. lol. I know I would have a few gray hairs if I were them. Luke and Luke's Mother are two characters I REALLY want to get into more.

Thanks for reading! I think the story is progressing a bit faster/straight forward in the next coming chapters to hopefully showcase some of those questions a wee bit. I really need to get on the writing thing though.. I'm only on chapter 6.. .

By the end of the day, I never thought I would like to see my driveway in this small town. Practice had been miserable, Coach Tate took one look at my sunburned face and my hickies and wanted to throw me out of the YMCA. I wouldn’t have minded, but instead he made me do endless laps, not working on techniques, my butterfly still needed a lot of work. When I got home, Mom and Dad were both already home and it was starting to get dark. I frowned feeling in my pocket, out of habit, for my cel

It makes me happy that you like my dialog, I am very heavy with it in my writing. That fight was a big one and I would hate to have a child say that to me... I would think I failed them. So yeah, I would feel gutted. I hope you like Luke, needless to say he's important.. lol.
-
Hopefully there is more to him than that, there has to be some sort of redeeming quality, I agree.
-
Yeah, the two are definitely measuring one another up, I just think at this point Luke has a ton more patience.. lol. Him not knowing Luke also just shows the level of... distance Jackson has put between himself and his parents, I think. Jack's Mom didn't even know there were usually drinking and girls at their bonfires, but she had to know there was a possibility. I hope to develop that relationship better.. the Son/Parents one with both characters as I move along.
-
Yeah, they were pretty hands off despite all the meanness Jack got up to in the past - so part of this is their fault. Maybe they finally saw where it may lead if they continue to allow him to get away with things... but! A change of that nature does rock a person a bit. I'm glad you brought that up - it isn't all Jack's fault.
-
His parents are hoping he learns something, so maybe he will. Or maybe he really is just that stubborn. lol. Luke is a sweetheart, but I hope to give him some edge of his own as well. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks for reading! I'm having fun writing these characters. I'm starting to get a bigger picture of where I want the story to go. Character interactions is 'why' I pick the characters that I do, if I can't really work out some good dramatic/comedic interactions I have a falling out with them. lol. Thanks for reading!
-
Yeah, he has been a character that I have liked writing! Thanks for reading and reviewing Lisa!

I can mail you some more.

Thanks for reading! I hope you're liking him as a character so far.

“Ally answer your fucking phone,” I groaned throwing the sleeping bag over my head to drown out the noise and the light from the sun coming through the tent. It was already getting hot inside and a heavy dew had fallen overnight made everything feel damp. “You answer your phone,” Ally hissed elbowing me in the side. “Is that my phone?” I asked, lazily pulling the sleeping bag off my head. “Yes, idiot,” she answered and I felt her sit up on the air mattress. “You’re probably in troubl

He's a bit of a handful. I 'wanted' to write a character that is a bit difficult to like at first.. maybe he will continue to be disliked, but I hope not - as people will want to be able to relate to him a bit. But, I'm glad with the reviews y'all have written for chapter 1, I think mission accomplished. Thanks for reading and leaving a review, hopefully you stick with him a bit longer to see how he turns out.
-
One thing that makes a story work is character growth... so hopefully I can take him from where he is now, to something else as the story progresses. Wish me luck! Thanks for reading and leaving a review, glad you read it.

Thanks for reading and liking the story so far!

I have 5 1/2 chapters written, so there's more to come! I need to get the ball rolling to keep a few chapters ahead of y'all though, so I can update regularly. I'm glad you're reading so far! Dialog is my favorite part of writing, I like using a ton of dialog within my stories. It is the quickest and easiest way to flesh out characters I think.
-
Thanks for reading! I like these reviews, I sort of want Jackson to be difficult to like - so I'm glad that y'all are having a difficult time feeling sorry for him so far. lol. He may learn and get better.. but I do hope the story remains light and full of comedy - since that is what I really want to write and portray with this story.
-
Jackson is your typical senior jock - he has a lot to learn about real life and consequences. Let's just hope he starts listening? Yes? I'm glad you're reading! I hope you stick with the story, I 'think' he'll grow on you.
-
Thank you for reading and enjoying the story!

Sitting across from the empty desk, I couldn’t help smiling at the pictures on it. Not because they were funny or not because there was anything extraordinary about them at all. They were just familiar and that meant that I was awaiting yet another lecture that I wouldn’t listen to. Nothing would change, there wouldn’t be an epiphany at the end. I would walk out the same way I walked in, with a smirk on my face. “Jackson Forrest,” Principal Welker snarled as he entered the cramped office. I

Jackson is a Senior in high school. Everything seems to be coming together to make this the best year yet.

Happy Birthday, Cassie!
