I just read and completely loved this ENTIRE story and now it's being rewritten? I mean it's a joyful thing but I'm going to miss the short time I had with this version. It was great. I loved it. I love these two-I swear, Leesh and Brody will be the end of me. And then Nick and Micki, and Heather and Chris, and Brit and Jon (hopefully still). Ashley is just no, don't wanna think about her. She was in the way. I'm happy she messed up though because one of them was going to have to do it to end that relationship, and I didn't want Brody to be the asshole.

Asdfghjkl! Great story! Thanks for writing it. Good luck with the rewrite!

So I read this story, literally last week, actually, and I found it completely forgettable. (I had to check my search history.) I only vaguely remembered this one bisexual guy who really liked Fall Out Boy, and then wracked my brain, trying to remember the story line and characters. I remembered Micki first, then Felicia, then Cameron, but I could not, for my life, remember the love interest's name or any of my particular feelings for this story.
Sorry if I'm being harsh. The fact that I read it all in one day might justify this.
I know that Micki got on my nerves often. She totally erased the fact of bisexuality and had an infatuation with gay guys. Acceptance is fine, but geez. I'm sure gay guys don't want to shouting about how you love them every ten seconds.
And the whole "list" thing? I found that disgusting (that's agreeable, you knew it when you wrote the story), how there was a list of conquests, how Felicia was assaulted, everything about that stupid list.
I read your bio too. I'm not sure if the racism is exactly evident, but I'm pretty sure everyone's white, save about five people (mainly side characters). I remember a "too Asian to be a Madonna" from Heather, "I generally like white guys," and "white guys are hotter."
I do believe this story is due for a rewrite, because I'm sure you can do better. :)
I'm not exactly sure if I'd be interested in reading it, because for me to like it, it wouldn't be this story at all.
Those are my two cents about this story. Don't hate me too much. D:

I thnk you should rewrite it and it's up to you on the details :D

It was perfect! It was slow, and genuine, and they weren't so oblivious to their own and eachothers feelings that it was sickingly irritating. Like I said, it was perfect!

Hi,
I'll call myself the Rose Empress for the time being but I just want to say that you have an amazing talent for writing and really hope you do something with it.

: finding their identity.

Thank you for a story that showed me this.

As for the rewrite, good luck, I think it will be quite a challenge to top what you did here. Can't wait to read it.

:)

I just want to start off by saying that this is one of my favorite stories. While reading this I was able to see myself in both your caracters and associate with them and their circumstances. What made your story so enjoyable is the fact that there isn't a cliche waiting around every corner, it has sense of realism to it and that makes it more relatable to your audience. I loved how you made your caracters normal people, not the jock and the nerd or the bad boy and the good girl, just...normal high school students.

Come January I'll be a matriculant (senior, gr12 - whatever you call in in your academic system) and like Brody and Felicia I've always felt like I'm just 'there', you know nothing special just an ordinary girl no one might remember once we graduate come December 2015 and even though I am content with not being the center of attention, I have come to realize after reading your story that I am indeed in a mental rut at the moment and that I shouldn't be content with just being "inexplicably there".

Life has so much more to offer us, be it falling in love with your neighbor, going to your dream school, or just doing the one thing every teenager strives to do:

A rewrite sounds brilliant! I was so surprised to get an email informing me that you have updated this story considering how it seems ages ago since I've read this. I think I was just fifteen too back then! Anyway, just want to let you know that I look forward to whatever it is that you have planned for this story's future :)

I was actually just thinking about this story the other day, and thinking about coming back and rereading it. I think it's great that you're going to rewrite it, since I always really enjoyed the plot and the story as a whole. There is, of course, always room for improvement, and I think it's awesome that you're aiming for that. Good luck! Can't wait to read it!

I don't mind if you start from scratch, as long as you keep those awesome sparks going between the main two :)

Oh my god. This was... probably one of the best stories I've read here. Really. I was trying to find something decent to read, but all I could find was rubbish... and then I happened across this.
I loved it from the first chapter to the last, for many reasons. The characters were all well written, likeable, had backstories and their personalities actually developed. I loved that there was drawing as one of the main themes, because I love drawing myself. Also that you didn't make the main boy the stereotypical stupid macho like the other generic stories do. You refreshed the story with some foreign languages, a lot of scenes and themes, I like that you included opinions on politics and homosexuality while being open about it and actually bringing some message.
I loved the whole theme of 'being there' and how you wrapped it up nicely in the end. I swear the last two chapters had me in tears - happy tears, because it ended just as perfectly as I wished it would. Even the minor characters all got their share of happiness and you paired them well.
The whole story was very sweet, entertaining, everything happened for a reason. Overall I'm overwhelmed by how much better it was than I had expected and how much I liked it. Thank you, thank you very much for writing this beautiful piece of awesomeness and be very proud of it! :)

I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! There's just something about this story that makes you want to scream into the heavens, shouting "I LOVE THIS DANG STORY!" I want to scream this, but it's 12:14 in December and COLD. I look forward to rereading this for hopefully many, many times more :)

God, this SHOULD be a movie. I swear. I LOVED it! Every bit of it. Beautiful, funny and real. Just perfect.

I swear this is the best story I've read on fictionpress so far!

Okay, so I'm one of those people who's come back to this story again and again but never left a review. I just clicked on your profile out of curiosity to see what's new with you, and I saw your warning about this story. Please don't change it! Maybe just post an author's note in another chapter at the end explaining what your intentions were with this story. This is an impassioned plea from a fan of the story. It is, of course, your story and your decision. I just think you've accomplished something rare and amazing in the writing of this work. I like to read light, happy fluff as much as the next person. Yet I got completely swept up in the realistic and pensive mood of this story. It's not a perfect world, but it's a memorable one. The beautiful parts are even more beautiful, because they stand out among the ugliness. And that's true of real life as well. I don't know if this review made any sense to you, but I will be back to write more reviews on this unique story.
