How can you not be? That blows my Mind. I think it’s still a great story.

It was possible that his grandmother set him up while under her care. I do agree though that a child prodigy would go unnoticed for long by the authorities much less the press being such a regular mainstay in a bar. But, it does create the means for him to hone is stage presence

This man is 💯 evil.

I’d agree BUT I like Nicky/Jack just because. Besides, Christian isn’t gay

Sigh… poor Nick. He kind of did this to himself in a lot of ways. I feel bad for Jack too because he’s not been shy about his feelings for Nick and yet…here we are. Tbh, I half expected Noah to be with Danny. Nick just needs to own up to his mistakes to Jack and make it right.

Please @LittleBuddhaTW. Write a Part 2. It deserves it. It’s too good not to.

So glad my questions were rhetorical 😂

that about sums it up

I thought about that interaction between Joel and the idiot most of the day off and on. I wasn’t necessarily trying to, it just happened. But I’ll bite now. I think there’s something more there about the two of them. Something Joel doesn’t see. He’s the stud baseball player right? Does the idiot play or wish he could? Is it jealousy ? Or good old fashioned stupid ass bullying? I get the feeling since it’s a small town and they’ve grown up together even if they’ve always been at odds, is it viewed as a one way competition and Joel is just oblivious to it?

He’s going to need Davin’s help I suspect to whether that storm. This even further’s my suspicion that Davin is gay too because he would know from his own experience.

Davin wanted Joel to say it. The way Davin acts it’s like he’s much more observant than anyone else in the room and knows it but he’s almost smug about it. But I don’t think he’s being malicious at all. I think he’s actually interested in Joel and I’d go so far as to bet attracted to him. I think he’s aware SOMETHING happened. He’s got to notice how jumpy Joel is. He’s got to know there’s a reason for it. I think he’s giving Joel a chance to move at his own pace without scaring him off. It’s dicey, daring even. But I Davin is very smart

BUHAHAHA the boy is a bit tense. Perhaps that girlfriend isn’t doing much for him

Sigh. Well I think we all kind of saw this coming but maybe not to the rapid extent so quickly. Johnny being there wasn’t a surprise which also means Roy would be there too. Joel tagging Johnny was going to happen at some point at the falls. Johnny is such an asshole he can’t help himself. Roy is…curiously perceptive. This makes him interested in the Joel’s story. The fact he’s been shut down twice by Joel and now his brother too is only going to make him more curious. But his curiosity seems more out concern more than anything. I have a feeling he might become more of an interceding friend between Joel and whatever happens with his old school. At least this way Joel can keep informed. As for Colt, he’s a bit of a typical teen with a girlfriend. His going to push back where he can some. The fight isn’t going to make matters there any better. Colt was tasked to keep Joel drama free and he chose to ignore him. I have a feeling Colt is going to catch hell about that at home. Joel will defend him on that though and it’ll frustrate Colt more because Joel shouldn’t have to. The conversation between them will be heated but air clearing and in so I think Colt will keep his secret from others but not before Davin and Joel resume their conversation. Davin is 💯 interested in Joel and has figured out the story. So at least there’s a few allies for Joel.

Worry about Monday on Monday. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Eli is a treasure who is clearly not naive and inexperienced in the world and streets. Yet he’s still not corrupted and he’s still as sweet as ever to Simon. Great chapter

Noah is a predator. Perhaps not a full blown narcissist yet but he’s close

Of course what I meant in this is that Jack cherishes Nick and the one they’ve created. Alerting authorities would likely pull Jack out of school permanently and away from Nick

The emotion in Jack’s plea to “not ruin this” would keep me from saying anything for now because it would only pull Jack away and back to California and possibly for good. It would crush both boys. Jonah deserves a huge kiss on the cheek for standing up for Nicky. That said, HE needs to snatch up Danny asap. As for Noah, give him time. He’ll screw up again

If something does happen I’d hope the twins at least have Joel’s back. I think there’s a certain level of attraction there on both sides. Maybe something will come of that while at the falls.

Ok I get it. I was wondering if that was his thing. I experienced that at my worst but I wasn’t sure if there was more to it

I’d be very anxious going to the falls if my classmates and friends were known to be there often like Colt said. Speaking of Joel’s general anxiety, why is he so jumpy?

This Colt resistance dynamic is gnawing at me. Sure he doesn’t know the why. He may or may not know teens from Joel’s school. It does still seem kind of too early in summer to start the panic at Joel’s school where he’s been etc as it’s been discussed in previous chapter commentary. I wonder if Colt views Joel as a threat or the enemy in a rival sort of way. But I don’t really think that’s it either. Colt is really outwardly argumentative towards his parents save that one spat between him and between him and his mother. Is Colt a closet case and suddenly having to deal with this boy making him all the more frustrated and feeling like he can’t be out? Does or has he messed around with the twins? Maybe that’s why the twins did that joke about the meat. Speaking of them, they seem to be very accepting.

Guess I did. Oops

I got the vibe of Chevelle, particularly this track reading this first chapter.

Ok caught up. Time to bring this great story off long term hold. Must. Have. More.
