    Yeah, the whole long-distance thing did put a strain on their friendship, they seem to be growing apart more and more. I know it's hard to figure out what other characters think and feel since the entire story is from Andy's POV. Hopefully you can get enough clues from Andy's conversations with them and his own opinions about them. And thanks for reading!

    I totally agree, they're acting luck best buddies all of a sudden, no wonder Andy's feeling left out. We'll see how things progress in the coming chapters, but it's not going well for him and Rex, that's for sure.

    Yeah, at least for a little while! And thank you!

    I came to school that day in high spirits in anticipation of Rex’s approaching visit, and Nico noticed it right away. Not like I was trying to hide it, to be honest. I was happy and I didn’t mind if people noticed. After our first class, we went out to the lockers to get our stuff for the next class, which was chemistry. Ugh, I hated it so much, unlike Nico, who was actually good at it. Good thing we were in class together, so he could help me. “Hey, what’s gotten into you today?” he asked.
  5. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There will be a romantic interest for Andy sooner than you think As for Rex texting Mark, the situation develops in the next chapter!
  6. Thank you again! Yep, so far things are looking good, at least with Nico and Jackson...
  7. Hopping on my trusted bike, I sped off down the street, excited to finally get my new pet! It turned out Jackson’s home was a few blocks away from mine, which was great because I didn’t have to ask dad to drive me by car. I actually liked his street a lot, it was wide, with a lot of space to ride bikes. I had often taken rides there, either alone or with Mark, passing by Jackson’s house many times without even knowing who lived there. Well, now I had another reason to go there. When I arrive
  8. Ohhh there are so many combinations! Of course, I already know which one, but you'll have to find out in your own time...
  9. It's interesting to hear your opinions, thanks for commenting! I have to say, you're spot on with some of it, as you'll soon see! Yeah, Rex didn't really do much to redeem himself.
  10. (Fall of 2017) This September came with a pretty big change for me – I started high school. After all of the teen Hollywood movies I’ve seen, I thought it would be much more stressful, or maybe even exciting – if that’s even possible for a school. In reality, it was just as boring as primary school, only this time with older, hormone-crazed teens. Of course, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit nervous at first, since it was a big change and I’d have to meet new people and find new frie

    Stay awhile and you shall see...

    Rex Returns

    Thanks! Yeah, they seem to have a strong bond.
  13. Closing the door behind me, I plopped onto my bed feeling sad and disappointed. Rex didn’t come this time, which meant I wouldn’t see him for maybe another six months. What the hell am I going to do all summer? What’s even worse is the fact that he didn’t even call or text to say he wouldn’t be coming. He knew I’d be expecting him as always, and he still let me believe he was going to come. Wait, what if he didn’t come because of what we did the last time he was here? I had an amazing time a
  14. @Reader1810 @lomax61 @Timothy M. Thank you everyone for your help, that was exactly the story I was thinking about! I remember reading it and it being one of my absolute favorite stories here, very emotional and just amazingly written. Funny enough, I thought it was called the Second Half, but when I searched and couldn't find it, I began to doubt my memory 😆 I honestly don't see the need for any of those so-called 'dark' elements to be changed, but I guess I'll reserve judgment until I read the story again. Thank you all once again!
  15. You are on to something, that's all I can say for now...
  16. So far it seems to be like it, there will definitely be complications in the future.
  17. @FindThySky No apologies needed Yeah, they are 12-13 in this chapter. I have a general plan for where the story will go, but I still have to hammer out the details. Anyway, some things may be revealed in the next chapter, other things later down the road...
  18. (Spring of 2015) “Sweetie, you wanna help me?” mom looked up at me just as I appeared in the dining room. “Uhhh sure, mom,” I said reluctantly, not being able to come up with an excuse fast enough. It’s not that I didn’t want to help her, it’s just that I wish she realized I wasn’t into painting Easter eggs anymore. Sure, I found it fun when I was little, but now I had other stuff I wanted to do – like hang out with friends or play video games with Mark. Of course, mom didn’t see it

    Thank you both for reading and sharing! I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and @ColumbusGuy I don't know when you had your eye surgeries, but I sincerely hope everything went well.

    You are spot on! Haha I do write very short chapters, that's something I'm trying to work on correcting!

    Yeah, Andy definitely needed some new buddies! And Rex will still be a part of his life.
  24. (Fall of 2011) Ahead of my first day of the new school year, I was on edge almost all the time. All kinds of embarrassing scenarios kept popping up in my head and I had trouble deciding if I wanted to avoid new people entirely, or try and talk to someone so I could actually make new friends. Looking back, it all seems silly, but it sure didn’t look that way at the time. I was almost eight, and for a boy my age, that was some real life drama! Of course, my parents tried their best to exp

    @FindThySky wow thank you so much for the thorough response! I appreciate the comment and I'll definitely take it into consideration in future chapters. In case of Rex's mom specifically, I didn't go into detail on purpose because this chapter only served as sort of a background story, showing the boys' relationship in an early stage. As you'll see going forward, the pace will be slower once we get to the present day, and the story will focus on Andy and his friends and love interests. I hope you continue reading and sharing your opinion!
