Sam this chapter was so fab! It may just be my favorite chapter of anything you have written, so far! But why must you leave me with a cliffhanger like that? Kills me.
I luuuuurved this chapter. It really made me laugh, ahaha!
“Must be hard for the kid with an ugly Christmas sweater for every day until the twenty-fifth, but she is nice.” And cue my last comment. If this was an original, I'd totally be picture the cute sophomore as the guy (;
“That’s why Max here never became a priest,” Chris announced, wrapping an arm around Max’s shoulders and shaking him rather violently. -yes
“And next time on Hollyoaks,” Matt joked in his best TV voice. “Should I get my tea and a copy of some girls’ magazine, or can we actually do this sound check before my hair starts falling out?” -hoho
I covered my cheeks with my hands, glaring at her. “Don’t talk about my cheeks, it makes me bashful.” -there's a dwarf named bashful isn't there?
I noted then that being a woman seemed right difficult. If I wanted to get off, I had the wank bank and tissues. If a girl wanted to get off, she had a million hoops to jump through before she found the right one. -well this falls in with the idea that josh would be forever alone if he wasn't in a band as he is awkward as shit
Elliot’s laughed echoed around me, and she dropped a licorice-colored whip on the floor as she doubled over, clutching whatever she had in her other hand against her chest. -orly. she's whipping josh now.
the whole penis straw section
“You’ve reached Avant-Garb,” I shouted over the music. “Where shopping is a pleasure. Really.” -ohohohohohohoh
”Who the fuck is this and why are you answering my girlfriend’s phone?” -GET OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
Oh my, this chapter was just hilarious. I don't think I have ever laughed so much when reading an update before. I love these two together and the boyfriend can go take a hike as far as I'm concerned. I see drama on the horizon, which is always exciting. Loved it Sam, truly loved it.
OMG this has nothing to do with the chapter (I haven't read it yet, ahaha), but I wanted to tell you guys that this Friday is Ugly Christmas Sweater Day at our school, and I overheard people talking about how, apparently, this sophomore at our school went to Goodwill at the end of November, and has been wearing an 'ugly Christmas sweater' every day since Dec. 1st. So now no one can find any ugly Christmas sweaters because he bought them all.
And naturally I thought of this story and Josh and...yeah.
While I'm here reading this lovely update (don't fret Ashley, it was wonderful), I'd just like to say that every single partnered story I've ever laid eyes on has sucked. That's not to say that I've read many, but this is just so flabbergastingly awesome. So kudos to you two.
I have read bad writing, and this, is not an example of bad writing. Or writing that sucked. I love how you describe Josh's sweaters, it cracks me up every time. I also really liked the dialogue towards the end of the chapter between Josh and Ellie, it was actually really sweet. Stoked for the nexy chapter, :)
