    Chapter 2

    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!

    Chapter 2

    “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

    Chapter 1

    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.

    Chapter 1

    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.

    Chapter 1

    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.

    The Best Year

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

    Chapter 1

    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
  17. Happy Birthday, Cassie!
  18. I'm two chapters in and I'm really liking the story and characters created so far. You have a nice touch with humor/sarcasm and a little bit of angst to move the plot onward nicely. I'm usually not into stories that continuously switch POV, but so far the characters overshadow the switching nicely.
  19. Happy Birthday!
  20. Thanks again to everyone. Except for you Mann, you've earned a kick in the butt. Congratulations. lol
  21. Thanks y'all.
  22. I watched Free Fall the other night - I really liked it. I heard they're making a sequel to it, so I'm hoping. Foreign films in this genre is leaps ahead of Hollywood/American films.
  23. Being the same age as Methodwriter, we had a lot of the same idols growing up. I'd add N*Sync to that list.. but you had a very good list.. lol. I remember being really into Josh Hartnett - mercy.
  24. Happy Birthday Rachel!
  25. Happy Birthday Colourfield!
