This story is fucking hilarious! Oh man, you write so amazingly well; not that I expected any less from you. But I honestly couldn't read through her humiliation. The emotions you convey are just so powerful it's insane. Even though I -- along with the other readers, I believe -- aren't exactly the same as your lead character, you write her thoughts and feelings in such a way that we can completely empathize with her, rather than just sympathize.
I would have kicked Brian's ass though. What a jerk! Just like, get out and key his car or something haha. It does sort of bug me that Alex seems to rely so heavily on stereotypes to define herself and her actions, but then again, I can only see if from my background and therefore it would appear different to me. It leaves a lot of room for growth and development with her, and that's certainly something I'm looking forward to reading about.
I'm throwing down $20 that Naoki likes her. Maybe even asks her out later on in the story. Just putting that out there right now, since Danni's already claimed Brian's balls in a jar :-P Hahaha. I'm really surprised Alex didn't tell them about Brian, but I feel like she may tell Naoki eventually. Not that I don't love both her friends (they're so different they compliment each other so well), but I just feel like Naoki's quiet confidence and friendship would offer a safer retreat for Alex to share that secret. Even though I don't agree with her not telling them in the first place...
Since I've got money going on this, please update soon! We need to find out what happens! Although I will wait patiently for long chapters. Longer chapters are much more satisfying, and display a much deeper comprehension of not only the story characters, but of writing styles and techniques. Long chapters really allow readers to get emotionally attached and connected to the story and characters, creating an entirely new world for them to delve into. If people can't handle long chapters, perhaps they should go back to reading picture books so they don't get overwhelmed with the incredibly stunning details you put in your story.
I love this, and I can't wait for more.
