In addition to everything else they are It looks like Stacy and Craig are insecure and possessive.First when Craig nodded to Seth in acknowledgement and Stacy turned to see it was Seth her eyes narrowed in anger .Why? Isn't Craig allowed to greet a male friend? Unless Stacy has noticed certain looks Craig has given Seth of course. Craig is even worse he frown when Seth left the pizza place with Blake.Why? Does he really think Seth should be exclusive to him when he gets that urge? What a pair these two. Speaking of Stacy as I was unhappily doing she said something I can't ignore “Come on, Craig,” insisted Stacy as she pulled him away. “Don’t spend your time with these losers.” Let's see Amber is on the soccer team and has to maintain good grades to stay on the team while Stacy is what? A "D" student? And she says AMBER is the loser?GMAB🙄 Now on to Blake we know he's at his cousins house and why but it may be even worse.Something Amber said “I was just trying to make Blake feel better. He’s been through so much lately.” She looked like she was getting ready to cry." That tells me something else thats not good is going to revealed .The parents in this story are something else First there is Blake's parents,Roni's mom also doesn't sound that good .Seth's mom who has gotten the most criticism from the readers seem to be the best out of the bunch which admittedly is a low bar. Nice ending of the chapter .I didn't think Seth could be so bold but I wonder if he was moving too fast although Blake did say he wanted Seth to take him home.We'll see what the reaction is🤞

I saw myself in a lot of things in this chapter like Ross being asleep at 11:00 AM that was me and often really later. If you call him at, say, 7 AM for school, Carl crawls out of bed at 8:15 AM andsomehow manages to smoothly rush getting dressed and ramming his breakfast down his throat. Yep that was me also. I have to give her hugs, she gives me money. Oh yeah that definitely me also😄 Since you wrote all this I guess that was you also

Nice GIF @JohnnyC I picture Pete looking like the driver. Micheal sure turned out to be a Godsend with his knowledge of labeling of the wires. As far as the upcoming shower goes I know Micheal promised himself to back off but why do I think the reality will be closer to Eric being backed up against the wall?🤔

I respect your opinion and generally agree with your point but where I differ is the way you were wording it .Your description makes it sound like Ron is portraying all gays like this and he isn't. He's portraying Seth and possibly Craig like this I include Craig because he keeps telling Seth to not say anything about this. I'm willing to bet the points you make are going to be discussed in the dialog of this story in future chapters (I'm guessing with Roni). Don't be surprised if Ronyx is having Seth act this way at the moment as part of a learning experience for Seth after all he's still only 16. All due respect I would advise you to stay with the story

So I'm curious what Welker has to say to Cindzilla after school? Hopefully she crossed some line and is getting canned🤞. Excellent chapter only one thing would have made it better .When Jackson said "I didn’t let Luke see the texts, the names Cindy was called went far past ‘Cindzilla,’ and I didn’t want him reading them. Even if some of them were creative and made me snicker despite everything." I wish he would have revealed a few of those just for us readers not to Luke😄

She said KORNER!!! Not corner

So if I understand things David was on the street after his Mother died was it a case of they found her body and was unaware of David otherwise how could this happen? I learned something in this chapter about painters adding finely ground glass to their paint to get a certain kind of effect interesting

Excellent chapter on the transition both are making. Something Mac said "so still no group showers so I could spy on the other guys".....It's too late for both of them to transfer isn't it.

Use your imagination.

I haven't finished reading the chapter yet I'm at the part where they told each other what rooms they are in.Devin said he can get them to be roommates and mike wonders how.So before I read it I'm going to guess Devin takes the appearance of a CSU authority figure who can do this.I'm going to see now if I'm right and get gold star or an idiot as usual😄

Not that you would anyway

This chapter had the feel of a story winding down but it the back of my mind I can't help but think The McKinneys are plotting another move🤞

I bet Pete already knows something is up between Mike and Eric. So if I understand things right Eric will eventually move on to wherever and Mike would have to stay in town to take care of Pete so that itself means this is no long term thing .I wonder what plan Ed has for Mike or was it all BS?

It was a tough call to give this chapter a love or a tear.The very idea a little boy could be that kind of condition. Although I left A sad reaction I did smile that David now has the very best people caring for him.

One way I see that happening is one day Ross is over to visit and Adam gets called away and while Ross is waiting in his bedroom he comes across Adam's diary and ....well you can guess the rest

I continue to be amazed how you keep writing quality chapters on three stories going simultaneously and they keep exceeding my already high expectations. Nathan saying Jackson had two brain cells was being far too generous I would have said I never seen a dumber MF'er but that isn't true his two flunky goons that follow him where ever he goes like Jackson is their leader well that makes them even dumber.Truly a frightening thought. ‘When you feel a little empty in the soul, try a little Jesus in your hole.’ Have to admit That was a line I didn't see coming. BTW I'm glad Jess got to use her pointed shoes. Another issue got solved when Jess said to Max “No thanks to you,” Jess huffed behind us. That was pretty cowardly What @Summerabbacat said about you making Gavin a star gave me a idea.....Cancel the Dr. Phil show and replace it with the Dr. Gavin show😄

I'm sure most of us readers saw this happening. Please don't mistake what I'm about to write as any kind of defense of Craig he's a predatory POS but as we read Seth's thoughts a big part of him wanted this to happen as he's been crushing on him since 7th grade.Also take the fact he was staring at his naked body in the hospital had an erection and licked his lips before this happened even a non A-hole that wasn't Craig would have come to the same conclusion.I will say that in Craig's twisted way of thinking he probably thinks he did Seth a favor. I think it's obvious what Craig wants next and that one Seth may not be ready for and in this case Craig would have to use force and no doubt will .Seth on his own wouldn't be able to stop this from happening. I can see only one way out of this.It was revealed that Roni is Craig's cousin.Before Roni got careless in the movie theater nobody knew about her which means Craig kept her secret do you think Craig did this because he cares for his cousin?......yeah don't think so I think he was saying nothing because Roni knows a secret about him .So what I'm hoping is Seth tells Roni what is going on and what he's afraid of and Roni finds a way to intercede. So far Ronyx has everything connecting like the first person to find out about Seth being gay was his sister's BF and then this lesbian Craig said he would set Seth up with is his cousin(funny how that happened anyway without Craig).So I'm going to make a prediction (take it with a grain of salt I'm right about 25 to 30percent of the time) At the end of the chapter Seth sees Blake.Seth hasn't mentioned seeing Blake at his school so he probably goes to another school.We met Cindy this chapter(I like her BTW) who does go to another school so I'm saying she and Blake know each other.🤞

I must have forgotten.Been reading too many stories on GA I guess

Well this was a pleasant surprise glad you found this story to post. One thing that stood out for me is how Micheal and Pete haven't really spoken much since the John Criley incident. Aftehearing that Pete was speaking highly about Mike to Eric perhaps Mike a has misread the situation between him and his Grandfather. I'm curious if Pete could sense Eric is gay and thus the speaking highly about Mike. There was no mention of when this story takes place so I'm guessing Pete was a veteran of both Iraq wars. “Mmm. His hair’s kind of long. Curly. And he dresses in hippie clothes, like those sprout-eating wackjobs out west. You know, in Oregon.” I live in California and heard that said about Californians but I suppose it applies to Oregon also😄

I'm proud of Ronnie he learned well from his dads. Wow David was in severe shape I hope the Doctor doesn't find more things. As mentioned above I didn't know Ronnie was out of school.Was he good enough to be drafted by the NFL

Something Josh said in this chapter got me thinking . “I’m sorry I lied to you.” I quickly rambled as I cried softly. “No, don’t,” Josh said as he held me tighter. “You don’t have to apologize for anything Ben. I get it, dude, trust me I do.” I went back to chapter one where all Josh said about his father was that he died when he was young very vague. Was his father an abuser?Did he abuse both Josh Mom and Josh? And in chapter two Ben had this exchange with Dylan I gave a small smile, “you don’t know the half of it man. And the answer to your question is a long one. So maybe one day at the right time and place I can answer it.” He returned my small smile, “I understand dude. Don’t be a stranger though. Me, my brother, even Josh, hell especially Josh knows about having a long answer to certain questions. That implies they all had their own stuff themselves.The fact that Gus hired both Josh and Anthony and that he told Ben to tell Josh about himself(not because I mentioned that in the chap 3 comments 😄) that tells me Gus goes out of his way to hire people with that kind of background

Are you talking about big companies?...Or Washington D.C.?

“Of course, it involves those leeches. Wherever they go, corruption follows. And sad to say that your bat-wielding friend got caught up in it. If I were you, I’d dump him like a bad habit. Those human friends, too." Rafe is too loyal to do that so the war is on. I foresee Andre getting more seriously hurt and if that happens everybody around Rafe will see to what extent Rafe cares about Andre it would be sort of like being outed .Rafe himself may not realize it yet

I hope @Ivor Slipper take is close to how things will happen but I'm worried as hell about the building and the part of town he's in . I think it's closer to what @J.El take is. I'm worried that one of the residents in the building is a perv and sees Ben obviously young as some sort of prey. One part of Ben that hasn't been explored yet is he type of personality given what's happen to him that will not take any crap? I imagine he is so I see some altercation happening with God knows what results will come from it . I sure hope I'm wrong. From what we have seen of how Josh and his Mom interact they are very close and Josh's Mom will figure out something is on his mind.So Josh has a tough call which is respect Ben's privacy or tell his Mom what's up. You did a great job of describing Ben's emotions and I know all the readers could feel it. One thing for sure I'm glad Ben is taking this part of his journey with Gus,Gavin and especially Josh in his corner

I never saw episodes of that on TV but I remember those were used to show us in history class during middle school I remember liking them and I guess since the school showed them they were pretty accurate
