whew. this story really got me hooked up and i've been really looking forward to updates. nice one, anastacia. i went for a vacation this weekend and i brought along this story with me thru Quickword so that i can read it anywhere using my mobile phone.it's amazing and during that long hours of travel, your story made me seize the moments and savor the good story. One thing that noticed me though is that your constant use of question mark(/) when it shouldn't be used. Well,sometimes i wondered if that's really a question for them or a statement after all. Well, aside from that, no big deal then.this one is a good story and i hope you'll get more people to hook up with this. :D

Author's Response: Like I told another reviewer, I can't hold all the credit for these chapters. I co-write with a very special person - Starry Eyes, so check out her stuff. She's freaking fantastic. But, I'm glad that you're so overly addicted to the story and we also hope that we get more readers as we progress! But, your comment about using the question mark somewhat confused us. I went back to look through the story and I don't know if you mean our actually question marks or the backslashes. Because, the backslahes (/) are purposeful. Whenever you see the backslash (/) it means that we're adding a lyric to the story. And when you're quoting a lyric or poem into a story, you use the backslash (/) to represent the different lines of the poem or story. Hopefully that makes sense and hopefully that's what you were speaking about.

I can belive what language Brian use to talk to his father. poor Oriana that have to live with that ass hole that she as for a brother but I think Alex make well enough fror brians attitude and malicious thoughts and wrong doing.

Author's Response: Yeah, Brian is quite the jerk. And Alex is quite the sweetheart. Quite the turn-around for a story, huh?

So when is Brian the butthead going to get his punishment for being such a you-know-what? I keep waiting for Kevin to disown him or to send him off to his mother (if the mother is still around) or some other relative. Or some kind of accident that will make Bri see sense or change the way he acts toward Oriana and her mom. Will Teagan ever dump him for acting like such a jerk? She may love him, but if he keeps acting that way, that's enough to dump hm. Will Oriana ever warm up to Kev? Please? Can most of this get resolved soon? It's driving me bonkers not to know. :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review and... copious amounts of questions. Hopefully we'll answer them all really soon. If not, guess you'll just have to go bonkers! *smile*

It's about darn freakin' time! We've finally got a hookup! Time to celefreakinbrate! One can only hope that their "plan" won't backfire and I'm just itchin to have Teagan find out the crap that Brian said to Howie about Oriana. Keep up the good work! [Alex]

Author's Response: Celefreakinbrate? New word for the dictionary?

Good Lord, Brian has one nasty freakin' mouth. Someone needs to grab the bar of soap and wash that boy's mofo mouth out. But like I'm sure I've said before, the way the two of you are portraying him is rather refreshing. Definitely unique from the angelic bible boy everyone else percieves him to be in fics. Props to that. It makes his role in this much more interesting. But what the freakin' frickin' frackin' porch monkeys is stuck up his motha butthole? I think the word 'hate' is even a srong understatement when it comes to his feelings towards Oriana. Props to Homeboy for defending Oriana. Brian needs to pull his head out of his ass and face sunny side up to realize he's a major jackass for even having such feelings about Oriana in the first place. And Teagan...whoo...that girl would go ballistic I'm figuring if she ever found out what Brian said about Oriana. Damn the drama with that would good. But aside from that, Homeboy is such a darn hopeless romantic! The personal notes in the poem book were very touching. That aspect was done wonderfully and added the perfect touch to the chap. Awesome job and keep up the great work! [Alex]

Author's Response: Well, that's quite a long review! We love those! Of course, you're a sibling, so it's kind of cut in half because you're partial. But we still love you.

Seems like Oriana and Alex have the perfect beginning to a strong sibling relationship. They'll make a good pair for friendship. Then dishing to Ori about Howie's past with that girl? Forbidden information, but at least now Ori has a little insight. Makes Homeboy all that more sweet sounding. Tough luck for him though...having the ring thrown in his face? Sorry I ain't been reading and reviewing this. I've got lots to catch up on now. Keep up the great work! [Alex]

Author's Response: Homeboy is always sweet sounding, hello, especially when we get hold of him. *grins* Thank ya much! We both appreciate it!

It was goo , ecellent...I just hope that this pkan of them don't back fire and I hope Brian get what he got coming from. ANd I hoe this Mac is not a problem at all specially if something akward happened in homecoming dance. I cannot wait for what is going to happen next.

Author's Response: Well, we're very glad that you're enjoying it so much. And, we will have more out as soon as possible. Actually, we're starting on a sequel to this... So, you're in for a real treat!

Ok, only took me an HOUR to read this - SO many interruptions! Mostly my Net connection disconnecting-lol. Good chapter - LOVED when AJ covered her mouth with his hand! Lol. I think them lying 2 Brian is gonna cause problems in the end - I'm fearing Teag might get hurt in the process. Damn. UPDATE!!!!! ~Lenni~

Author's Response: An hour, huh? Well, took Starry and I more than an hour to write. So, we'll call it even! But yours was due to interuptions. Mine's just because Starry writes too slow! Haha! But we're glad that you're enjoying.
