This story is really old so you probably won't see this, but I loved this so much! I absolutely adored the way you ended it, the final scene made me so happy :')

I cried.
I don't usually cry, so congratulations on such a heart-jerking tale.

I don't understand... Wasn't she the understudy?

FUZZZZZZZZZZZIES

I'm grinning so much right now!

I think Mario's perspective is a perfect way to end the story. Though it wasn't as non-cliché as I had hoped, it was very, very good nonetheless. I really enjoyed the story! Thank you so much for posting this so people can read it!

That was a pretty good cliché makeup scene. It was really cute. I don't know what alternative you had, but I was also hoping you'd put that in the story instead. However, it was still a very good way to get Lena and Raphael back together. This chapter was pretty good.

That was a really great way to add a real-life article into your story! I really enjoyed reading about Lena reading the article. I don't think Raphael would have moved on, though. If his breakup with Eileen was any indicator, he would wait a few more years before actually moving on. I hope Lena's temporary bravery counts for something. Great chapter!

Lena probably went on autopilot, too, out of shock. I think Raphael should still study for his final, though. School is important. I really admire your really great grammar and your writing style. Even if I decided to be really nit-picky, I probably wouldn't be able to find over fifteen mistakes in the entire story. Keep up the good work, and if you decide to become a writer for your living, I'm sure you'll be very successful!

So now there's a deadline for Raphael to convince Lena that they're perfect together. That was a good way to get the plot moving faster, though I actually like the pace right now. I had a feeling that the cell phone trick was not going to work the way it had with Erik and Eileen. Is Gina going to become an important supporting character? This chapter was very well-written, especially the phone call. I really enjoyed it.

I think Hammond and Eileen are going to crash and burn again. Except it may be a little longer before she decides to start chasing after another guy because I'm pretty sure that she gets the idea that if she goes after Raphael or anyone else in the school, everyone will abandon her. There weren't any mistakes that I saw, so great job on this chapter!

Ah, yes. Of course he can get Lena because he can chug coffee without burning his tongue. Mario has great reasoning, doesn't he? Mario's point of view is very fun to read. I enjoyed this chapter and its comic relief. I know it was more of a filler chapter, but it was still really great!

I know Hammond doesn't really know anything. He's creepy, but I think he actually believes that Eileen cheated on him with Raphael. But I know everything will be a disaster for a while. There were a couple of mistakes, such as missing spaces, but that's all right. This was still a good chapter, nonetheless.

I really hope that takes care of Eileen for the rest of the story. I know it probably won't. I'm really glad Ryan is over the whole Raphael-dumping-Mario thing. The pace of the story is really great. I also think Ana and Mario would be really cute together, but I know you have your own personal pairings, though I don't really like them. And it's really cute how Raphael is still on an emotional high after his date with Lena. This was a great chapter.

That was adorable! I'm definitely rooting for this pairing. I didn't see any mistakes in the grammar or anything, so this was pretty much a perfect chapter! This is probably my favorite chapter yet.

I really hope the pairings stay like this. Even if Lena and Raph going on a date is rather hilarious. I'm sure Lena will be fine during her "debut." Well, maybe. I have a feeling that Hammond might try to ruin it. But, anyway, great chapter! I really, really, liked this one.
