    Weee! This is cool!

    It's really...I don't know how to describe it!

    It's better than my story, that's for sure!

    You've gone and made me all hungry now. Jerk.

    I finally got around to reading this, and I'm glad I did. Your writing is so much more down-to-earth than mine. I really love reading it.

    I'm so jealous of fictional characters.
    I wish I was at a concert instead of crummy school.

    Sadly, none of the characters are real :(
    But, I do take pieces of people I know, I just don't base any characters entirely on one person ;D
    Yeah, I do that too, I take bits and pieces of people I know, even for real persons - like in a fanfic, there's no way you could possibly know how they're like in real life (unless you know them of course) ^^
    Anyway, your characters have their own personality and seem pretty real, and that's a huge important part of what separates a good story from a not so good one :)

    I made it.
    I actually signed off of AIM, just so I could read with all my attention.

    Ok, so I have read several stories where the story is told from different perspectives. A lot of the time it's confusing, the characters melt into one, until they lose all the original personality. Four chapters in and it's clear who I am reading about. Thank God. I hate being confused.
    Your personalities are so real, and it's so obvious why they are friends. I thought they were real people too, and then I read the last comment you posted. So, yay for you and lifelike characters!!!

    And Holy Grail totally kicks LOB's ass. LOB was no where near the joy of HG. God.

    You've created a group of friends and I love to read about them because every single one is different - just like in real life, it's as if these people actually exist (do they btw...?). I can picture these people pretty darn clearly, and that's because you know your characters well! :D

    And how you managed to show us what they think and describe them in between the argument about best comedy - that was really good! I was smiling while I was reading ^^

    Wanna know what happens next! ^^

    *attempting to lessen the gap between readers and comments and just realized I'm failing to do so because I just added one of each -_-**

    I like it so far. I think it's cool how you have all their different points of view, and each of them has a different view of graduating. [rant] I wish I could graduate RIGHT NOW. I want OUT of this place!!! [/rant]

    Concerty goodness! I wanna go: ( I agree with Kirrsch. The dialogue is very natural and easy to read through, not boring at all.

    Squee.

    More readers than comments - hmmm, now why does that sound slightly familiar? <_< There should be a writer-reader contract: you can't subscribe to this story unless you leave comments xD

    Anywaaaay *lol* - I'm kinda like...ooo what's gonna happen at this concert/sleep-over thing? :D I like how you describe people, and the dialogue seems natural! Dialogues tend to get either very obvious, boring or exaggerated, but you didn't fall into any of these traps, the language was very natural and stuff.
    Great update, as always ^^

    Ooo, a new story: I love your stories *hugs* ^^
    I read the prologue twice because I was thinking 'yes, I know that feeling!' And it was extremely well written too.
    I wanna get to know these kids, so I'm subscribed! ^^

    Oh, I love it already! It's great, please continue.
    It's amazing to find a story that's not fan fic or frerard!
    You've got a good writing voice, clear use of words and varying POV's which keeps the reader interested.
    Great job!

    heh second thread i've created today : )
    i like stories like this!
    a) they're original.
    b) they have loads of POV's, and not massive chunks of writing. they're legible,
    c) its got my name in it : ) (although that points slightly redundant)
    d) i love prologues like that.
    so. all in all. keep writing : )
