Haha, I really like this story!!! Quite creative if I do say so myself!! =D But what made me laugh the most, was your rant about the girl yelling at her mom in chapter 22. Ohmyword. Loved it!!! XD Keep up the awesome writing =D
Cute cute cute. I can really get where Cassie's coming from on the whole people-watching thing. I like doing that too; it's fun, and you see some really weird things sometimes.
I love the first paragraph about the little things that change people. It's so... just, good.
I like the reference to grass in the second paragraph, because the layout is grassy, and I really like when authors tie in the layout to a part of the story.
That bit about the kindergarten trip to the forest was genius, and I love how its in second person. I've seen second person butcher a story, but you've done it quite nicely here, actually.
You felt how big and sturdy and alive that tree was. How connected it felt to you. How the roots crawled out under the ground, under your feet and just stayed. I adore this line. I adore the whole idea about the trees and the grass. This little chapter really makes you think differently for the seven minutes it might take you to read it, you know? It's really hard to find a piece that does that for you.
I love love love this chapter, and how nothing really happened, but it also wasn't some silly filler about nothing at all. You relate it back to the story plotline at the end, so it's not pointless or anything, which is wonderful.
This story is a wonder! Everything just seems to flow and be entwined with . . . magic. The words float off the screen like a dream, and it's all amazing.
That is just a piece of how excited I was to read this. I reread the last chapter too, and I want to give you credit again for your description of summer. I loved that even more the second (or third or forth) time.
But for this chapter. I liked that it was all description, and since I'm normally a dialogue person that's saying something. But I really liked the story you told about the class, and how you linked it to the grass and... Gah. This was just a great chapter. And now I'm going to be paying even more attention to details and probably over-analyzing everything (my English teacher would be so proud) but I'm just super super excited.
And.... Just to tell you.... This is an active story now. No excuses xP
And we're just going to ignore how hypocritical that is coming from me xD
Hell yeah! An update! Well, an update for me, that is. Haha. Wow. I am in fucking love with this story. I love Jeremy. A lot. (: I get what you're saying about the school and friends thing. It's happening for me too. :P hopefully it'll work itself out soon.
I know I comment on just about every chapter I read and though not much happened in this one - It was still a-fucking-mazing (if you dont mind me swearing) I just love it. Love. Love. Love. Keep writing!!! Many loves xxxxx
Okay! So now that I've been completely behind on my emails, I feel like crap for missing this update. But I'm here now, and hopefully this comment will randomly brighten your day :)
I really liked the view of them as younger teenagers. I thought that was cute, and it really showed their relationship well.
That whole summer speech sounded vaguely familiar, but I can't tell you why. I like it, though. The idea of how fast everything moves... it's like everyone's caught in the moment and they don't necessarily stop to analyze things or even think about the possible consequences. I like the spontaneous part of that.
Just a little editing note, I'm pretty sure Cassie "that" something instead of "thought" it... It's funny, I've been noticing stuff like that in books lately and I find it really humorous that typos like that slip past all the editing and stuff. Or maybe it just shows they didn't have a great editor...
I just reread Cassie's last little thought paragraph, and I think I can kind of see where she's coming from. Not necessarily where the story is going, but... Because now that she and Jeremy have realized that the attraction is there, I could see them acting on it. But I completely understand how Cass needs him to be her friend, especially after she lost Ritchie like that... Speaking of which, is he going to make an appearence anytime soon? I kind of miss him.
Long break in between updates makes me sad :( But then again, I really shouldn't be talking... I am definitely learning bad updating habits from you.
I just want to tell you again how much I love this story. And if you ever want someone to bounce ideas off of, let me know :D Although spoilers might just kill me... But that's okay! Aside from the fact that I'd be, you know, dead.

Love it. I miss this story whenever it's been longer then a week since I read you're latest update. It's so good, and quite addictive :) You write really well, and I always get excited when I see you've updated. Looking foward to seeing how it all turns out, Update as soon a possible, please.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. If only you could see my face right now. This chapter was just... indescribable, and I don't care if that sounds cheesy. It was exactly that! I love how you built the chapter up and eased it into the three years later part. There was a tingling in my tummy as the chapter drew closer and closer towards the end. There was this feeling in the pit at my tummy that either something absolutely wonderful would occur or something dreadfully horrific would take its place. Oh my gosh, the ending. What to say about the ending? All I can think of right now, is that the fairytale moment kinda took over. It was the start of something fantastical, I could tell. And oh gosh, those last two lines! They were perfect, like a dream come true in storyland. It evoke lots of emotions in me and just had me had the edge of my seat. It had me wishing there was more for me to see, read, and feel. Most of all, it made me wish that I was Cassie, I wanted to be the one in the story. Sorry that this comment is such a cheese ball but it's absolutely true, every bit of it.
