The description of their actions in this seems to be more casual, which I like. And I really love Ryan. He's right up there with Dan already. I'm not looking forward to his death at all, but I am curious how long until that happens. I mean...it can't happen too soon 'cause they have develop a relationship, but...it's can't take too long either 'cause Dan and Bekah have to develop a relationship.

*blinks* Ok, so Bekah's slightly happier than normal, and her Dad turned into a cheating bastard. Interesting. I have NO idea how you're going to do this, but i have no doubts that you'll manage. It's going very well in fact. I love Kristin. She's so sweet. Like a little doll. And Dan, the Chemistry teacher, is his same concerned self. Love Dan. You know, i might have passed Chemistry if i'd had HIM as my teacher, rather than the annoying little woman who hates my family. *grumble* Sorry. I have this way of bearing a grudge. ANYWAY! I can't wait to see where this story is going. Keep it up!

Man this is getting interesting. I really, really hope you update soon!

Since the teacher and the student were meant for each other! Duh! :)

I can't believe her dad left. Argh! How frustrating. The perfect opportunity to give her a somewhat happy home life, and you don't even take it. *shakes head* How aggravating. But it's still good and I guess it'll add dimension to her character.

I can't believe Ryan is gonna die. Before, I thought I liked the idea. Now it's just really depressing 'cause he seems like such a great guy...and legal. *sigh* I don't know how easily I'll be able to read this, but I'll definitely follow it. Good start, and I like Rebekah's attitude in this. She's more lighthearted, which though she may have been before Kristin died, but we never really saw it.

uh-oh...

but damn, why do you have to kill Ryan off? he's swet I'd take him any day. I mean I'm only a year and a half older than him...

Oh wow! After reading The Rose for so long, I got used to their "adult" characters. Now, they're so young all over again!

I sense Ryan is sort of like a replacement for Jim, in a way. Only he appears to be a different character I'll hopefully like better.

I like the lighter Rebekah. Less intense...and crazy. Haha, just kidding. :)

I'm hoping to see their student/teacher friendship develop, like you and I talked about before.

Is Rebekah on the track team? That would be great to see her role in some sort of school activity!

Well, I wasn't so sure about this when you first talked about it, but I'm really interested now. It seems more "fun" than the other two. Although I know eventual conflicts will arise, I hope you keep the "fun" element in play. It works nicely.

Well, that was a long review for the first chapter. Hope you're able to update soon!

Nice. Very nice. It's a little odd to have Bekah and Dan not showing any remote interest in each other, but you know, good things come to those who wait! I think i'll like Ryan, (if he's anything like Dan it's a given), even if he DOES share a name with the guy who screwed me over a couple of months back. Two questions for you. Is Kristin still gonna die? ... and ... What subject does Dan teach this time? It sounded like Maths, and that might take some time to adjust to. I mean, there's Dan the deep thinker English teacher, and then there's the 'either-it's-right-or-it's-wrong-there's-no-two-wa ys-about-it' Maths teacher. LoL. Was that long enough? OK, really looking forward to where this is heading. Also, i'm glad my message said the right thing. Hope it helped some. Update soon ok, but don't burn yourself out. Unless writing is kind of an outlet for you, in which case i always suggest that you should burn away!

This is a really good start. I hope that you update soon!

Cool chapter, better than what the summary promised. I'm looking forward to the next one. Good work.

this should be interesting, but i'm wondering, is bekah meant to be the same character in your other stories or just in the same situation, cause she acts a bit different; but i suppose Kristin's death affected her, changing her into the bekah that we know - and that hasn't happened, i'm guessing it's just about to, but i'll have to wait and see! good start though
