I've actually read this story a long time ago in Business Class.. and I come back everytime hoping you've updating -- but it seems you haven't! I absolutely love your writing style. It's so fresh & simple. Kudos. Haha. One wish that I have is that Neil will finally turn around to see Callie watching him walk away.

aw. valentine's day.
that must have sucked for callie when he said that.

I totally agree with you on this. It sucks that people's lives can be controlled so much by their parents at that age, especially when the teenagers actually make the right decisions for themselves. However, if life was a fairy tale, it would have ended long ago. No great things come without hardship. I applaud you for writing these things down. I'm just a bit too old to remember any of it now.
