Arrgh...you did IT!I know I'm a bit late in reviewing but it wasn't really my fault..no internet..so No I'm not punishing you for what you did in this chapter though i'm incredibly frustrated..what's that about Drake getting away for a few weeks, months or whatever? And Xander and Alora?i repeat argh...but then it adds some spice to the story (at least the way i see it starting from now..).

Note number 2: I can't bear Alora's mother; she seems so selfish and though the separation process and especially the moving out part seem extremeley fast I definitely root for her father..Yay..

But I have a few questions: doesn't Xander worry about Alora's lunches with Drake; doesn't he know? (my question of the day because he seems nice but not especially caring..)

and what's Drake thinking about..well, anything? he just appears this close-off character (have you ever thought of making a chapter in his POV or something?) Phew that was long

hope you're well..and good luck

ahh, I'm missing drake already..

Awesome story. I think it's absolutely adorable! I definitely look forward to what happens next - glad I spotted this one on my alerts!

I'm still convinced that Xander will start to act all possessive and such. Good chapter though, I thought you'd stopped writing or something. Glad to see the story still going.

So... very... happy...! *jumps and squeals, before glomping the author*

You're back! And, what's more... WITH A NEW CHAPTER!

Ah, they dropped a not so explosive bomb on the kids, news wise, but all this choosing sides... Ms. Fairchild should be so lucky that it seems like Alora is choosing her father's side! She never seemed to like Alora in the first place-why be so mad! She really has no right, the way I see it. Poor Matt, though... I wonder if, in the end, Matt and Alora are going to refuse to take sides, with Alora only slightly favoring her father over her mother. n_n;

Drake's going to be gone? I hope those trips to Japan aren't going to be done on a sour note-he did mention problems with the Japanese company...

... Xander and Alora, sittin' in a tree!

Hee hee! Won't this complicate matters just a teensy bit further? X3

God, I don't know what's going to happen next! I wish you the best in college, m'love, and more ensnaring chapters! X3

cute

No quitting now! It gets more interesting by the chapter! You give us a bite, but it's tasteless, and when you give us the scent, there's nothing to chew on! DX Then when there's something to think on, we wonder if we're being fooled... u.u

Must... know... more... about Xander and Drake. DX

Okay, I love this story. Oh yeah, I'm a new crazy reader, but again, I love it. Drake is my favourite character, I'll say right now, if only because he's so intruiging. I like the contrast between him and Alora. They're so different. I like Matt as well. Can't say I care for her boyfriend though; don't ask me why, but I get the feeling that he might end up being one of those nasty jealous types. Anyways, I doubt you will, but I hope you don't give up on this. It's awesome.

still liking this, but wondering where this is going to go..when's something significant and plot-forming going to happen?

Continue this. It's words are pleasing at times.

Hehe..my wish from the last time is right here in front of my eyes...sure that's not a happy circumstance ( by far)but at least we're seeing the elder Mooneys..Drama, drama..Maybe I'll know at last what's going on there..I'm so curious: is Mrs Mooney having an affair? There are so much possibilities I'm dizzy with them!(Never mind me, I'll just wait till next chapter.)

And what is this about Xander's 3 jobs? Is he doing something illegal? (Please, tell me he IS, after all the whole bad boy image is the only thing he has going for him!Bleh)

And just a little word about Drake (because I'm having my little fan-love story with him..yeah!): he seems to get softer and nicer towards Alora..Good it seems she'll need it!

Don't kill youself with too much work..I'd miss you!

And the traditional, good old GOOD LUCK..

that was a really nice update. i can see that alora is noticing the difference between drake and xander and that drake is opening up more on his life, so nice progress on all the characters.

maybe the next update wouldnt be such a long time in coming? your story is really nicely written, it flows well and is interesting so its a wonder why you dont have much more reviews.

hey this is great, you finally updated, sorry i'm just really impatient. I like this and the way you bring Matt and Alora's relationship into the story is good (eg. Matty)

yey keep it up!

hey, happy that you updated been waiting long for it. Progress between Drake and Alora (romatically or just companionships)is very slow, somehow i feel that in this chapter their appearance together are forced it's like you are reluctant to write more about their relationships, 'cause somehow to me this scene is a watse as we already know how they interact with each other and again how drake feel about his precious car all in previous chapters. In turn of development between alora and xander you have done plenty. Update soon! bye & take care!

hey. great update. ive been waiting for it. i really like drake. he's so...un-suit-like. haha. xander is a little sketchy though. i cant wait for more so please update soon.
