Great characterization! Eddie's such a vivid personality, and the others are well defined too. The plot is nothing to sneeze at either. (: Please keep writing.

this reminds me of an episode of cold case i saw yesterday where this guy pushed the girl down the stairs because she didn't want to be with him because he was too popular. he laughed at her in front of his friends too. i like bradley though. i hope he doesn't push eddie down stairs. but if he does, credit me as your divine inspiration, okay?

Eddie is too cute for words :) I hope everything goes fie at the party, I can´t see how Ediie and co. are going to fit in :/

As for with whom should Eddie end up with...definitely not Jake D: Unless you mean something else. He´s awesome..as a brother. I choose Bradley! Because he´s going to do things right in the end! I hope. Great chapter! Can´t wait for the next!

E! I love this story! haha.

I like Bradley/Eddie, but I don't like Bradley for being mean to Eddie and letting his friends as well. I like Dorian more because he's just a better person, however I haven't had a chance to see them together as much so.. XD Anyway, I'm excited to see how this kiss goes. I hope nothing bad happens at the party >_

You just honestly made my day. This chapter is so adorable! Can't wait for more

Thank you so very much. This is fantastic, and the dialogues are incredibly well written. I'm super impressed, and you've renewed my faith in your ability to update.

update more often! this story is the best. I love Eddie the most.

I'm not sure I ever reviewed before but I really glad to get a new chapter to read... well, 2 chapters because it seems I didn't read the chapter 6 before either... Anyway, I re-start from the beginning and I enjoy it as much as I recall I did the first time. I hope next chapter will come around any time soon. I like Eddie a lot, he's a poignant character. You hinted Eddie hasn't always been airhead that way so I hope we'll learn what happened to him (I kind of fear Jake is a part of it...).

Aw Eddie is so adorable sometimes

Bradley would be good for him, or maybe Eddie would be good for Bradley, who knows. And my money for Eddie's probleme is a car crash either that killed his father or caused by the father. Bur he's really really cute and the way he sometimes react like a little kid but acknowledge it at the same time makes me like him even more. As for Bradley… well I guess a lot of people must be like him. I hope nothing is going to go badly at the party.

I'm all for Dorian. Woohoo! :D

Aha, this'll be the first review I've left in around half a year; Fictionpress sent about four alert e-mails for some reason, but I'm glad you've updated!

It's been a while. I don't even remember Quentin's role. Cousin?

[Then again, probably not.]
Heheh, likely this.

[“Hm?” I say, my heart skipping a beat as I think about what he promised Quentin he'd do.]
I really should skip back to the previous chapter, but this way it's like I get a twist already.

[I have to seriously force my eyes not to flicker down to his lips. I can't let him know that I know.]
Aw, how self-consciously adorable.

[There it is again, my heart skipping a beat. If that happens too often, will I have a heart attack?]
Hahaha.

I think you capture teenage awkwardness well.

[“Then why don't you come to the party after? You can get the real experience, the whole shebang.”]
Ah, The Party. It's become a capitalized cliche, but I'm actually interested to see how Eddie deals with it - he's got a unique, distinct and realistic perspective. Besides, they're usually plot devices. I just hope something bad doesn't happen to Eddie. There should be people he knows there (Dorian and... Casey, I believe is her name).

[There's something in his voice that I can't quite pinpoint, but I don't pursue it.]
I'm gonna cling onto this mention, 'cause "unknowns" tend to be set-ups for plot twists, usually angsty ones.

[“Deal,” he says. “What should I sing to you, milady?” He furrows his eyebrows and chuckles again. “I mean... my fair gentleman.” I blush slightly.]
I liked his little slip there. Not sure why. I think it's humorous, the way they're trying to express themselves, but ineffectively.

Ah, I knew the song sounded familiar! Snow Patrol.

[“Good morning sunshine!”]
This needs a comma before "sunshine."

[o f mischievous]
Typo'd space there.

[I don't exactly know how saying that would bother him.]
So oblivious. His brain hasn't seemed to register Bradley wants to plant one on him for a reason, but then again, I'm not exactly sure why Bradley's doing it. Was it a dare?

[“When he says model, he means for Valtrex ads.”]
XD

[“You're a barbarian,” Quentin sighs.]
Unless Quetin's a ventriloquist, he can't sigh and talk at the same time, so that should be a period after barbarian. I liked how he used the word "barbarian." The word sounds natural from him.

[No, TiVo, I don't want to watch Hannah Montana.]
Hahaha.

[“What's Valtrex?” Jake slowly raises an eyebrow.]
Hahaha, I asked Google the same thing.

[Bradley/Diego.]
I like how he adds "/Diego" whenever they're in school (if I remember correctly).

[Yeah, I lose focus.]
Whoa, I read this without context and thought he was about to segue-way into his condition suddenly. It seems to be a condition, anyway. I probably wildly guessed something last time, like child abuse or severe trauma. Now I feel it's likely undiagnosed ADHD.

Ah, the girl's name is Corrie!

[“Well, I mean,” Corrie begins. “Aaron was more adorable when he was younger, but as they both got older, Jesse got hot and Aaron got...”]
If you'd intended that to all be one sentence (I'm presuming so, since you said "begins"), then that should be a comma after "begins".

[I can't tell them about Bradley, he wouldn't want me to do that. And I get the feeling that this group doesn't really like him that much. If they knew the real him they would, I'm sure. But they just know 'Brad' from school, which is a shame.]
Brad, Bradley, Diego, he's going to get MPD with all this.

[his face conveying his ill feelings towards the football player. None of them looked as if they were Bradley's best friend, but Dorian seemed to dislike him most of all for some reason.]
I'm jumping to conclusions, but perhaps they had some form of a relationship, but Bradley cared too much for his reputation, so ditched him?

[“Lawrence, if I were a psychologist, I'd go into a rant about your past. But luckily for you, I'm not.]
Freudian psychology (at least, the Hollywood version of it) is incredibly amusing.

[“Who said the Virgin Mary was nice?” Larry sips at his drink. “Maybe she's angry that she got knocked up without the fun process of doing so.”]
Hahaha.

[“That would be suicide which is a mortal sin.]
Shouldn't there be a comma before "which"?

[I don't suppose they would take kindly to the mother of Jesus in Hell, but that's all speculation.”]
Hey, hey, no favorites!

[I'm not really the type of person that's quick to think on their feet. I think a lot, but mostly my thoughts don't make much sense to other people.]
The last line made me think "autism," until I realized that was highly unlikely.

[“Eddie, wake up,” he says.]
I think it was mentioned earlier in the story that Jake looked at him with sad/knowing/etc. eyes, so this could've been a slip. I really should read the other reviews; someone's bound to be majoring in psychology.

Dammit. My internet decided to have cardiac arrest. Nearly thought I lost this review. I wouldn't put it past karma to smite the first review I've done since summer.

[is probably worst of all I have a feeling I'm going to die by anticipation]
Missing a period after all.

[He chose Dracula since the story had been reproduced in so many ways][
Aha, is this because of New Moon's release? I wholeheartedly agree if he's against it. Severe adaption decay. Dracula's rolling in his coffin.

[he needed me to reenact a scene from a video game.]
Castlevania is the only one I can think of.

[“You both did considerably better than the voice actors on Castlevania, I must say,” she says with a smile. I have no idea what she's talking about, but I let it be. “On with your project, Brad...”]
Ah, so it is.

[“That stuff... it... it's just fun. I'm only ever joking.]
That's one of the most common excuses for douchebag behavior. He's really digging the bottom of the barrel for redemption.

[“Please, wait!”]
And yet, it was one word, "please," that stood out.

[A grin spreads across my face and I have to restrain myself from just screaming 'YES!'.]
Haha, I smiled at this.

My favorite character would be Eddie, followed by Bradley. Eddie's just... Eddie. Bradley is the core of the plot.

And speaking of the plot, I (as displayed throughout this review) can't get over Eddie's stream-of-consciousness. Every time I see that dash, it's like a bullet's being loaded into the literary gun.

I just scrolled up and realized you asked who's the best for Eddie. In that case, Bradley. Very quintessential and obvious, but yep. Besides, I consider him one of the most characterized so far.

Keep writing!

- FD

I just remembered that my first and only boyfriend was named Bradley...

Odd. He is in jail now I think...

Okay. ANYHOW!

I LOVE DORIAN! So Eddie should ask for another lesson.

I kind of think Bradley is... a d-bag. Sort of.

If we get to vote for who Eddie gets to be with I pick Dorian. Because I love him.

Wah~
>3<
love it (:
can't wait for the next chapter :D

This isn't to antagonize you or pressure you or anything. You're the author and you can update whenever you want because I will read it nonetheless since this is one of my favorite stories but I'm just a bit dissapointed because I was really looking forward to your update. I mean, things always come up and you could have finals or have something huge going in your life to worry about this, which i completely understand but I really do hope that this story isn''t on permanent hiatus. I can wait for whenever
