Aw, this was a brilliant start, but why not Haylie and James together? Was it because they were so similar to Nate and Kate?

Yay! I'm really excited about this sequel... I love it already. Although I am quite a bit curious about why you didn't end up pairing James with Haley, I can understand that their relationship very closely parallels that of what Nathan and Kaitlin used to have, so it would be somewhat of a repeat.

.. besides, I like what you have here now so much better.

And I do have some critism (if you care for it)

Usually, for an audience to connect with the characters the author limits the point of view in her story to one or two characters. I noticed that at a point in this chapter you included Aeryn's POV as well, which I thought was kind of unneccessary, because from what I can see so far, it isn't necessary for the audience to connect with to relate to Aeryn. It just kinda threw things off for me.

And also..

-

“What--you--” Sophia tried to say, but for some reason, she couldn’t form out a coherent sentence as she pointed at him; she wasn’t sure whether to be freaked out or burst out laughing. They locked eyes, and she saw his mouth hang slightly open, even noticed his eyes widening a bit.

“Uh…” James Masterson said, scrambling for words as he realized just how much he’d screwed up this time. “You—you’re not—you’re not Meagan.”

-

In the span of those two sentences we saw BOTH point of views. It's a bit jumpy, and it would make more sense for you to change the second sentence to something more like..

“Uh…” The strange guy said, scrambling for words as he seemed to realize his mistake (or whatever). “You—you’re not—you’re not Meagan.”

It just makes more sense because Sophia has no idea who James is, and since we're reading the story in her point of view at the moment, it doesn't make sense for her to identify him or switch the POV so suddenly.

Well I hope you're not one of the author's that hates criticism. But that's just some advice I thought I could give you. I'll end it here, because I think I'm close to beta-ing the story, which I tend to do a lot while reading... so don't mind me.

I think you have a great beginning here, and I can't wait to see where it goes :)

This was funny. You're on my author alert list and so I got an e-mail but I actually saw this before the e-mail just as I was browsing and I thought it would be good. But for a first chapter I like how I already feel like I know Sophia. James I obviously do know but anywayss I was going to say your off to a good start. =]
