First of all, I was a little disappointed that there was no layout. A layout adds another dimension to a story, in my opinion.
Also, I have to point out that you should really take a new paragraph for every new person who speaks. I noticed that, for example, in the first paragraph Jesse and the narrator were both speaking in the same paragraph, which is grammatically incorrect.
That aside, I really enjoyed this. I liked the simple title, “Peaches”, and the way it became a sort of way of remembrance at the end. I also wasn’t expecting the end, and it surprised me, but in a good way. I thought it was very well-written and bittersweet towards the end, and I thought the feeling were portrayed well, and your characters were realistic. Just sort out those paragraphs before the contest is judged, and of course, good luck!
... Way to end on a rhetorical cliffhanger (I hoped I used that smart word in the right context :D) :>D GREAT JOB! lol Anyways I really loved it even though it ended not the way I thought and wished it did. :D
