OK, first off, I must say that I love this being centered on a ska band for once! Band fics are fun to read, but it seems like the band in question is ALWAYS an emo rock group. Not that I don't love emo, but...ska! Right on.

I like that Natalie was the one who did want Hunter in the band-ergo he didn't overhear her badmouthing him-although it does sort of lessen the need to overcome that possible complication to the story. That sounded odd: I meant that it simplifies their initial relationship. But this is a short story, so I understand your desire not to make the storyline completely convoluted from the get-go.

The descriptions of the other prospective drummers are classic. Tao the aging hippie is my personal favorite. Although I must say that the line, "He had been playing 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' for about ten minutes," was laugh-out-loud funny.

I will admit that I'm a little confused by all the band members. That was a lot of names to introduce in one chapter without really giving us too many specific characteristics to go on. BUT as I said, I love the fact that it's a ska band, and ska bands have to have horns, obviously. So I'll just look for more about them in the following chapters.

Speaking of which...

Ok, I totally love this story. Hunter... hmm... I think I like him :D

Just one word: Aw! :)

Oh, and you write really well. I loved this.

awesome! . I love it when people write stories like this, where it turns out this guy everyone thinks is a huge badass delinquent ISN'T, and he's not some stupid bad-boy either, he's just bad with people.

And I can totally relate with the whole secretly loving chick flicks thing. Not all of 'em, but She's the Man is my favorite movie ever. And my entire family thinks I'm this cynical, cold hearted romance killer. I have a reputation to maintain... it's a good thing they don't read my favorite list, or my cover would be blown. :P

I like this story. The pancake part was so hilarious!

Excellent story, I love short ones :)

Ah...(girlish sqweak)...I loved it! I really like your style, I think I put this in my favorites! And then go read some more of your stuff...well, nice job on a work well written, and as always: WRITE ON!

Not too short at all! This chapter had me smiling through the entire thing! I wonder what Natilie will do now? Well, off to chapter 4!

Im glad Hunter decided to join! I've always loved ska! Whoo...go reel big fish! They rock! Cant wait to read the next chapter, so I think I'll do it now...

It's wonderful! I know it's already all the way posted, but I can't wait to find out what happens next! You have a really great style, I like it! Well...off to read chapter two!

Great story!
