 dragonflydreamer 2009-05-24 . chapter 1Hm, I'm not usually too interested in the romance genre, but this seems pretty decently written.
First, I like your characters. Zach is kind of outcast-ish, but not your usual "the world hates me pity me." He seems like your typical insecure but likable enough freshman.
Kelly, too, sounds like she could be an interesting character. She seems kind of shy and unpopular, but her line "I don't like swearing" really caught my interest. Something about this makes me think that she's a bit of a goody-two-shoes, or maybe really religious or something...which makes me think that might change throughout the course of this story. Or maybe I'm just making wild assumptions, but it definitely makes me want to read on.
Now, the narration is what really caught my interest. It's very thought-based, and the thoughts are very relatabble. It really helped me get into the story, as well as your character's mind.
So, in case I haven't said it enough, I really like where this is going. I'll be keeping my eye out for an update :)
