Joie J.

Thank you so much @Mattyboy

So I read the first stanza and I had this anger boiling up in me to charge @Comicality for copyright; that's my childhood you written about!!! 5th grade to 8th grade, it's so accurate (and I must be shameless to admit that 😅). Well except for the Ryan, of course, the one who turns world upside down. Still this day, I'm waiting for my Ryan, lol. I'm late to the party but boy, I'm hooked. Can't wait to catch up to the regular readers here.

1. Well done Jonathan. 👏 The way you handled the Prick of Sunny Hill aka Connor...I'm proud of you. Plus, I like the fact that you're finally seeing the other way, the better way of living your life. 2. Agreeing with @Hellsheild, I demand a kick for a lifetime for our not so dear Connor. 3. I finally found the name for my memoir; 'I should do more to right the wrong.' 😁

@Philippe I just like reading your poetic replies, that's all. No foul intention, I promise. I wanted to give you a poetic reply, but I haven't got half as much of your rhythmic skills, so...😅. And thank you so much for writing a poem about me. 🤗

Your chapter summery + few prediction poems that you do so brilliantly. 😅

And your poem still awaits me.

Seriously Jonathan?! Maddox wants you to give him a "dicking", not to be his toppings! But both of you enjoyed the course, so I'm letting it go this time. Anyway, sizzling news are coming; be prepared. Feels like a storm is about to break.

I totally agree with your demand. Please no! What if Ray brings up Drew and for the night, Jonathan could finally talk about his past to Maddox?

I had to collect my jaw from the floor when Jonathan flaunted his junk!!....Well he showed it to Rusty but I saw it anyway. I had to bite my knuckles in order to hide my chuckles when Maddox schemed out his plan-B in case of an embarrassing he-kicked-me-out. Why hide my chuckles? Well, you see I was supposed to be deep in my studies when I received the alerting email of a new chapter incoming which burst something irresistible with in me and my mom was in my room, so you can connect the dots......Hey, you guys don't need to frown! I'm past 18. In the next couple of minutes my temperature raised a few degrees but mind you, it wasn't caused by summer heat. Wink, wink. And with Laura's last few closing sentences of a desire, a doubt, a sweet kiss and a gorgeous rewarding-smile as an answer; I felt the warmth in the cause of my fever-skin. Eagerly waiting for the next chapter.

OMG, they are exactly my predictions!!!

Okay, can I kiss Rusty and make him share his heavy heart with me? Oh, that single stanza broke my heart! How hard it must have been for him and it completely explains his wicked personality. Hats off to you Laura for that one brilliant four-line stanza. As reader we always want to feel safe with our author, we want the believe within us that the author's knowledge is through and through. If I'm not mistaken, that's what J.K. Rowiling said; readers want to trust their author in all weather. And that's exactly what you did. In no way you could have invested so few words to describe Rusty's past trauma if you weren't absolutely clear of the entire story. And hereby I honor you with my precious vote of trust. You never disappoint.

Yup, that's a fabulous line right there.

First burst of frustration from Maddox and it's about time. It would've been weird if after all that mess Maddox had kept his calm. I really like your character arches Laura, they are tangible as if not a part of a fictional world. Thank you for another amazing addition to the youthful world of Sunny Hill. Can't wait to know what happens next, so please do hurry, the Queen of Cliffhanger.
