Its okay no trouble, I know you are traveling. When I got traveling I often find it hard to send messages and what not when I have so much to fit in. I wanted to tell a little bit about the movie, but spoil it, so the only thing I could think of was to reference the plot. Watson is the gay kid, he is masking the identity with subtle hints. The first large hint was about the lifeguards being hot; a couple of letters back, and he crossed it out and put hospitable. I understand what you mean about talking to people for years and never meeting. I have many friends who I have messaged for years across the globe and I consider them friends now. Oddly enough, I have also fallen in love once before with a boy online, we talked for over 4 years. Sometimes friendships that are built purely on trust and without having a face to compare the name to, you make your own impression of how the person should look. However, for one thing, friendships are not my strongest points. I always feel like the odd one out even when I try incredibly hard. its great to hear that you got to meet another author that you admire his work. Yes, it probably would be interesting to meet a reader to hear their thoughts and to gain insight into who my readers actually are. It sounds like you had a nice day out. Myself and my boyfriend however like colder countries. We do like warmer climates, sweltering counties cant beat Denmark during Christmas.

Thank you for your comment. Glad that you are enjoying the pen-pal format. I had the original idea of two people sending letters back and forth to each other; delighted that you approve. I hope you continue to enjoy the tale.

Can’t beleive it took me so long to get around to this. I am glad I read it this morning of all things. Even being away from it a while, I got straight back into the story. You know deme seems perfect in every essence. When I was that age, I would have loved a deme, who wrote poetry. Except if there was a deme back then; his poems would have been about the orge living under a bridge type of deal. Com, you have made these boys unbearably cute; and I am somehow wishing I had someone to write about me the way deme did about Shane lol. Anyway keep up the awesome work.

Aw-ha I apologize for that, but letters are basically plotless, and they are independent of one another, that is how it works. Perhaps if I was releasing it at a faster rate it would not be such a big problem or if you were going from one letter to the other it would not be a huge issue. I don't intend to drag the story out forever, I figure there could be about 20-25 letters worth of a story. Only I guess It will show how long it takes to work it out when I perfect it in my head. However, time constraints and work do get in the way. Also at the moment, I am writing seven different stories, these things take time. This chapter alone what you have read took 2 days to write and a day to edit. Yes, they will meet, only this story does not focus solely on that, a meeting will be in the later points of the story. If they met, then there is no need for letters. I will get there and I am confident by late October-November.

To Sherlock, I chose to stay behind after school let out, I know weird right. I'll miss chatting with you also; that is until Monday rolls around again. I have to say the teachers transfer the contents of the mailboxes daily and even on a Friday, that is what I call service because I received your note. As with the end of your message, I can't quite say what the weekend has in store for me. I suspect I have some work to catch up on, and my dad requires me to begin searching for a summer

Thanks, Cognac, I know it can be expanded, I open all projects, or most to be able to expand on if I feel necessary to do so. Only I think this story takes it home with the way it is. Maybe in another story, I will write of something similar and show such interactions. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you; yes bullying is never good. Only 9 times out of 10, most bullying incidents are recorded only on school grounds. Very rarely do we hear about peer-pressure among adults or colleagues and friends of a reasonable age as it still does occur. perhaps that is something I need to write at some point in time lol. Thanks for the message, and yes I thankful for Thomas apologizing when I didn't originally have him apologizing lol.

Actually, I didn't have that part in the story originally. I asked my mother did it sound complete and she said no; so I added something onto the end of it to bring it home. I figured it was a nice touch. I am glad now that I put it in because I did originally end with just the principal's quote. I too, know about stories of both side, I have been on to many of these scenarios, and usually, the side that gets dumped on. But yes, as a teacher have a clear mind on both sides of the argument is always better, by having both sides explain what happened, and then pull for witnesses then. I didn't originally intend to have to bully apologize. Only as I got to the end of it, I figured a change of heart was good figuring they where kids and the possible fact that he picked on Wyatt was because he was perceived as weak. Meaning, he sort of respected the boy after he did that in some weird twisted the way. Thanks for the comment. I hope all is well

Of all the place I thought up a short about school bullying, I did so while watching American Horror Story, the season with the lesbian couple. I found myself thinking about a couple in their shoes and a possible scenario of them being ignored. I'm so happy you read the story and left a comment. Thank you so much. Yes, let us hope the boys learn to not fight and be civil to each other in the future.
-
Oh, I do have a plot twist in mind for when they actually meet. It's just a matter of time and how to put it onto the page to make it look interesting. I can imagine they will like each other. Only for now I have no idea how I am going to get them to meet; just a plot twist lol. Lets hope it goes smoothly when I pull it off lol.
-
Ahh... I agree the lifeguards are hot too. I often found that Watson's character is the type who would do anything to be liked; even going the extra mile as to lie about himself. Whereas Sherlock could be more reserved and takes things more to heart and curls up waiting for it to pass if someone mentions anything that is considered hurtful. Whatever reason we were put here for who knows. Only three things I can say we have mastered. Storytelling, Inventing, and killing.

Glad you approve I decided since Sherlock is a fitting name for an intelligent character, it would be a shame to not use the idea of concerning philosophies. I wanted every letter to unravel a new layer of an onion almost. It's deeper until we have to friends, who start to talk freely about people they know in school. I have some plot twist in mind too; I'm just itching to get to them
-
It seemed like a reasonable thing to do. Most people lump certain people who they perceive under a label or tag to help identify something they do not understand fully; or what it is like to have that tag associated to those individuals. Perhaps Sherlock has had some back experience with the athletes and that is why he is a little more cynic toward them. Though yes, Watson wants to step out of the limelight for a while without stepping out of the limelight if that makes sense lol. Yes, I doubt his singing ability will help grow a fanbase if he began to shrill.

Somebody To Listen D.K. Daniels Caught in the cluster of middle schoolers, young Wyatt Aciman got shoved, back and forth between the larger, substantially domineering 6th Graders. It had become a frequent activity over the last couple of weeks since school started back. Wyatt happened to be excited the day he began his smooth transition into 5th Grade. That was well… until Thomas Miller of the 6th Grade, and a select group of friends confronted the youngster during lunch one sunny afte

Wyatt is a troubled Middle School student. When the recent effects of bullying come to head in a brutal act of rage, everyone is left wondering why such a sweet child would do such a thing. Then for the first time in his life, and his parents, someone on the school board listens.

Well that escalated quickly; only comicality can write a story about such a small subject and drag it out for 5 k words. At best, I think I’d struggle to get 2 k for a quick read like this lol. What can I say we all have those moments when we are younger. My first time on the other hand was dry humping with a friend. Now that was such an awkward, sweet and innocent time. Sometimes I miss being young... a simple sleepover brings out youth memories, even though I am barely past 20. Bailey got the surprise of his life here. Now all that is left to answer is how long this has been going on? I’ll have to admit, Bailey does have the bluest eyes I’ve seen in a long time since asa butterfield. There was some cute moments in this story, when your cutting out the sexy time. The poking of the cheek, the references to the eyes, and then the next morning Bailey reuses the same compliment on David. Thanks for read comicality. “Therefore, the award for how to make things incredibly f**king cute and adorable goes to the number one author of teen romance - comicality.”

As you have pointed out I have tried to keep it as real to pen pal letters between two people only it’s a little more personal as they grow together. Sure I could have went line by line what is your favourite colour but I wanted to tell something a little different. That is why I went with some of the superficial things that they both of something to about. I’m glad you are still enjoying the story
-
True, there is a lot to think about, and a lot to remember after pressing forward lol; I am delighted you are enjoying the exchange. I expect going forward things are going to more interesting.
-
Thank you, Parker; you have no idea how good it is to hear that. That the characters sound real enough for you to be able to empathize with what is on the page. I hope you enjoy the story as it goes on
-
Thank you, I am delighted that you found the premise entertaining. thanks for the comment.

@OzLoGo - Its okay, we all get caught up one time or another, glad your back. I do recall you mentioning that you were on a trip help a guy in London to edit his work. And I think I recall you mentioning that you had a stockpile of content to get through. I am swimming in books too when it comes to Gayauthors its one chapter day on average lol. Glad you are finding the story interesting again after your break. Maybe Sherlock has been picked on by Jocks and that could explain his predicament. Who knows? I think when I finish this story it is going to be the last diary type entry story for a while. I have a large project I am going back to after a years absence, then I intend to go back to do As They Say - Part 2. By Christmas, I aim to have this story finished, along with A Case Of Jitters.

To Watson, I bet your jumping and jiving today since it is Friday. I acknowledge I'm going to miss you over the weekend. I suspect whatever it is you get up to it is better than whatever I arrange to do. I can visualize what I am going to do already; sit in and observe the world go by and possibly play some PlayStation 4. Or alternatively, I might travel on down to the swimming pool and go floating. I hate having to bring my little cousin with me, she gets in the way, and all I desire to per

Sorry to hear, I hope everything is better for you know. I too have been their; it’s not place to be for anyone; especially child. At 15 it is a sin to die so young. I wish I was so liberal and constructive about 6 years ago when I too was that age. Thankfully I saw the light. I often felt as if there was just This heaviness that I lugged around everywhere. The sensation was almost like floating but nothing ever seemed to have a desired effect when I wanted it to. Thanks for yiur comment, it means a lot

Hope is all we have, if we have nothing to latch onto things can seem lost. In theoretical terms Carson was the light at the end of tunnel type deal. You often hear of kids doing such things. I can’t say I have been very different; I have been their at that teadious moment. Not with a gun but with an other alternative. I guess in long run I wanted to show the orginality of the moment with out hiding anything. I message I wanted to convey is that you will hurt someone else by doing what your doing. Asking for help is not as hard as it may orginally seems if you learn to acccept there is always a way out. sadky though yes; not every kid had a Carson. I believe your statement is more haunting in that regard because of how true. If Carson arrived later or didn’t read the letter on the table, he might had missed it. Hopefully though kids or adults who are in this mindset see that their is land on the horizon. Thanks for your comment, it made my day.

Your insight is always welcome and respected. Oddly enough I was wondering the other day while listing to a talk show host on the radio about teachers pay during summer; I had found myself considering teaching English lol. No inkling as to what brought me their but oh well. However, I think I can imagine the frustration you may hold as a teacher. Parents and students often forget teachers are humans too. They have lovers, children and hobbies too. They get upset when people don’t listen in class or take things to heart if something is offendful. Sadly in life that is the way. Personally I am not a violent person. I don’t think under the right circumstances other than self defense, that I’d hit another being. Although I guess I can relate to frustration placed in your shoulders when you see something like this happen. If it where my kid; I don’t think I’d be so humble about the situation. I love the way you described wanting to know more. That you eyes could not physically keep up the the text. It’s a little like me when I’m writing. Fingers can’t keep up with the brain.or if I dictate the words take longer to form in the brain. I’m delighted that if the conclusion had been different you would have been... ehm.. pissed lol. as to why I wrote it; I’ll never know. I was sitting watching television at eleven o clock at night and suddenly an idea formed. I knew right away it was going to be a short, so I decided to write it. It’s not everyday inspiration comes. If I was waiting for it, I’ll see be working on my first book. As I started to write I pieced together that I had a boy who wanted to die; and at the last minute his brother comes home early. I never really state it publically. But Carson saw the video, that is why he came home early from practice. humans are the worse type of bread there is us; yet some how deep beneath we are quite compassionate when the right change of heart comes along. Some people make mistakes, which is normal. Though yes sadly we have a select few love the thill and game of upsetting others. I wasn’t sure how I was going to do the suicide scene; then I got to the point when I said bang and left it in limbo... I like that so it was time for Carson to come in lol.
