I quite like it. Favorite lines are "I thought God got you pregnant." and the quite way Brendon says "Make outs?" Very adorable and childlike and cute. Very lovely.
I'm terribly sorry that I haven't commented. I only read the introduction late last night and didn't have time. I do now.
I like the idea you've used in the introduction. How Pete is talking to them about skeletons in the closet, which in turns leads back to the first chapter about how it happened.
I love Not what he had expected exactly, but okay. It seems like the omniscient narrator has taken on part of Pete's character and way of speaking. I don't know why.
Catholic enough to think abortion’s murder, but not Catholic enough to keep her legs closed. Seems to be one of the favourite lines, yes? I love the contrast used in that line. Catholic enough, Not Catholic enough. Very clever.
Her head spun so quickly he thought her neck might crack. It makes her seem fragile. I like that, like she's completely confused and she's not at all ready to handle this (but in high school who is?)
It was you who said ‘sure, Ryan, let’s not use a condom this time, there’s no way I can pregnant on my period’. I've never seen that line used in a teenage pregnancy story. Never once. It's always "I forgot a condom." Although, there's no doubt that many girls think that.
My last favourite bit is
“Do you ever see her?”
Ryan shook his head.
He couldv'e replied with a straight out "No." But he didn't. I think that it just creates a sense of regret on Ryan's behalf. As if he knows that he should have seen her but he didn't.
I love this story. I also recced it. I hope you don't mind. :cute:
They had been over for two weeks and he’d already returned the CDs he’d borrowed from her.
his white shoelaces
I like the detail of, "white," that's what caught my attention about this. It didn't distract, or draw me out of the story, but just gave me a better picture.
It sounded like a bad line. If they hadn’t been in their current situation, it probably would have been a bad line.
“Oh, yeah.” Ryan said sarcastically. “God got you pregnant.”
She slid gracefully from the car seat
I like this because it gives me this image of her being beautiful, or at least somewhat elegant. Because not many people can gracefully get out of a car, so the image of the fluidity of her movement is g-double o-d.
I really like this story! Please update it soon! Haha I liked the "Catholic enough to think abortion is murder, not Catholic enough to keep her legs closed" part. Pure smart-ass genious!
A high school story. Ryan/Brendon, past Ryan/OFC [Lexie]. Back in high school, Ryan got his [ex]girlfriend pregnant. Some drama, some comedy, some romance.
The intro is very short. The next part will be posted tomorrow.
