I will try this once in the next four years.. lol. I just need to be inspired by a story enough to do it... and nothing I'm doing now has me rushing to complete it in a month. But good luck participants!

Well.. hmm. Gauging the situation is always a good thing to do really. Once that's done and you've concluded that it's not that bad of a choice to jump headfirst into it, and not doing it, is fear. But yeah, everyone who has learned to gauge their surroundings before they make certain decisions has perfected something good. Living a life fully reserved though... isn't something to do.. Eh.. a small world would be boring..

Lol.. yeah or go ballistic. Thanks for reading Benji!

Lol. I believe you.

Aww. Lacey may redeem herself...

Hey Drewbie! Yeah, I wanted to bring the friends out more into the story, and I will in the next few chapters. Thanks for reading. I promise it won't be a year for the next update.. haha. Krista

Lol. Yeah, you were pushy. Everyone was working against me to get AYC 10 in the making... tsk tsk tsk.. you big bullies.

I'm sorry to hear this sad news.

Hey! Congratulations Tiff!!!

I want to thank (and you guys should too) Steve and Steph for motivating my butt to get this chapter out. But! Ch. 10 has been posted. I hope you don't have to do TOO much re-reading to remember the story line.

Not that I read up on this... but I got a '60.' Lowest yet...

A surprise in the making?

Come back here and discuss chapter 3! Chapter 3

Oh goodness. I read half the chapter the other day, and just finished it. I like the difference in families, and I would like to know more about both, since we've barely had a glimpse of Jake's father, even though he's supposed to be this menacing homophobic - the first impression of his character in the scene he didn't fit the part. And, Shane's family we just met, and first impressions never really stick, but I foresee a tragedy in his family, and I'm wanting to know more about them and then hope I'm wrong. Krista

Happy Birthday!!

I got nine correct... sigh... I was excited to see "The Catcher in the Rye," I love that book. So it's safe to say I got that one right. Krista

No matter your age dear, you've got the goods.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Have a good one.

Aww, I just stayed up and read all four chapters.. and I know I shouldn't have since I'll now be skipping my classes... well I 'also' have a minor stomach ick to continue sleeping through... But! This story is well developed so far, like others have said. And, I really do like the different characters and the way Jake interacts with each one of them. The inner thinking/talking is done differently, I think, than most other authors do it, and for me that's refreshing to read (or I could just be needing to read more), but I've thoroughly enjoyed getting the reactions from Jake about what he says or how he reacts to others - it's comical at times, and so dramatic other times. It really adds to the "flavor" of Jake. Anyway, I like how you ended this chapter - even if the romantic in me is SCREAMING out against it. You're also getting into the cliffhanger mix... tsk tsk tsk.. Krista

Hey! I just wanted to say that I've started reading this story. From the first chapter (fixing to start reading chapter 2 as soon as I stop gloating on chapter one), I like the characterization and the set-up of the story. The inner voice of the primary character is human so that the story flowed without giving away too much of the plot, but added a lot to what drove the story as I read it. As of right now, you've set up a strong self-growth, coming of age story, which I enjoy reading as they span a whole lot of levels of emotions and realizations. So, now I'm off to chapter 2. Good job so far. Krista

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one!

Happy Birthday Dom!!!

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one.

Happy Birthday Andy!!!! Have fun!

Hey! Thanks for reading this new story from me. I'm glad you like it and think these characters are more mature. It's what I'm going for with this story. Lol. Also, He Got To Me will be picked up again... one of these days. Krista
