Just a heads up... An Incest Birthday Ch. 34 is up on literotica and xnxx.

Keep in mind that that the groups' sophomore year took 28 chapters to tell. Patience is a virtue, my son.

Bad idea, methinks. Remember back in the early chapters when Kayla was going with Craig? Jack chose not to tell her about his creepy past with girls and she was royally pissed. It would be ten times worse if he kept anything concerning Jessica from her. And Kayla would find out, no question. If nothing else, Jack would be overcome with guilt and tell her himself.

Another thing to consider is how it affects Sam if it becomes known that he is bi? Helena probably knows but I doubt that their father does. @ Joe Long: You're a baseball guy. How would Sam's team mates deal with him having a boyfriend? Would they let it slide or would Sam be ostracized? As this is high school, I tend to think it would be the latter.

Well, it won't be pretty. I touched on it earlier, but I think Amanda will blame her parents more than she will Sam. They told her to break it off with Alan and pursue a "normal" relationship and she will hold that against them-- especially now that Alan has a girlfriend. What I'm wondering is how Sam's sister, Helena, will feel about all this. She is the leader of their group and could make Amanda's life miserable if she sides with her brother. It is probably time for Jack to meet Helena and have a nice, long talk. I don't think that Amanda will be dating again for the foreseeable future. I'd almost like to see Jack take her to see Dr. Fitzsimmons. That would be an interesting session!

Just looking at that thing gives me a stomach ache. (Holy crap! My 100th post... I have arrived!)

This is my experience and opinion as well. My three nieces grew up living next door to me and I had ample opportunity to observe them and many of their so-called "friends" over a twenty-year period. My oldest niece was targeted simply because she is beautiful and brilliant. AP classes in high school allowed her to earn enough credits to graduate a year early. She told us that she couldn't wait to leave the place because of all the mean-spirited jealousy. No one ever threatened her because -like Belle- she was a cheerleader and -like Tara- she could throw a punch. Some of the stories my brother told me concerning their school careers had me shaking my head in disbelief-- "the inmates running the asylum" was the phrase that came to mind. They are-- all three of them-- out of high school and the oldest has graduated college with a Nursing degree. I know I'm getting old, but I just don't recall such bitchiness, cruelty and outright hatred among girls when I was in school-- at least not so openly. In the end I hope everything works out for Belle, she's a very nice girl... And if Joe leaves her then maybe he needs a slap upside his head. (Yeah, a bitch-slap)

Your point is well taken, but I think Belle will be more than distraught over losing Joe. Remember, she gave up her social status in Jessica's entourage to be with Joe. When it becomes known that her boyfriend dumped her for a guy then she will be totally humiliated and become a laughingstock (Jessica will see to that). She may well become suicidal.

Congratulations on your move and thank you so much for the kind words! Actually, I missed the error until I read Joe Long's post and realized that we now had Martin teaching three subjects! Not likely! Get some sleep, Joe. You've earned it!

Hold on a sec-- According to Jack's schedule in Chapter 38, he has Chemistry with Martin, Lit with Owens and Pre-Calc with Keller. However, in Chapter 39 he's got Martin teaching Pre-Calc. Ah well, I could never keep my teachers straight, either.

You're right about Alan and Amanda. He was so down about their dad making them break up that he had his bags packed. Okay, if Sam dumps Amanda for Joe then she may reconcile with Alan. They both go to their parents and say, "We tried it your way and it didn't work. We're back together and if you don't like it, then kick us out." But what about Kelly? Well, Jack had a threesome, so...

You just gave me an idea... Awhile back I said that Craig needs something really huge to have a shot in the election. Say that Belle is at school when she finds out that Joe is dumping her for Sam. Totally crushed and despondent, she decides to end it all in the girls' lavatory by slashing her wrists. Fortunately, however, Craig had seen her go into the lav and not come out. He bursts in and is able to stop the bleeding, then carries her down crowded hallways to the first aid office. So Craig is a hero who saved the life of a pretty girl and is now a shoo-in for class prez. So we would have Belle pissed at Joe, Amanda pissed at Sam, and, of course, Jack & Kayla pissed at both Joe & Sam. Sounds like Fracture to me!

Not only Belle, but what's Amanda going to do if Sam has the same feelings for Joe? Definitely going to be something to watch. Also, who is Ted taking Jessica to see? Without doubt they're both in trouble again. I wonder who's manipulating them this time? Could be Brad if he's still in juvie, but if he's out then his folks probably have him on about six inches of leash. Brad talks tough but he's a whipped dog when his parents are around. Not sure what's going on with Ms. Locke, but if Jessica gets the lead we'll know she's being threatened.

But could Joe build the device without Belle or Jack knowing about it? They would both roast him alive. Okay, it's crazy theory time again-- Mr. Martin, the chemistry teacher, is involved with the prostitution ring. He knows about Joes' desire to "blow something up real good." After Jack becomes aware of the ring and starts causing trouble, Martin builds the bomb knowing that he can easily use Joe as the fall guy. C'mon, it's possible!

I'm sure we all know people like Joe Hayes. Some folks just have a laid-back personality-- never taking anything too seriously and always making jokes. Even Jack has said that Joe occasionally surprises him by coming up with great ideas.

Joe is not dumb, he is patient and skilled. Remember when Jack said that Joe had once made an accurate wooden scale model of his house? Anyone capable of doing that can probably construct a pipe bomb in their sleep. It's not exactly rocket science. A black powder pipe bomb is simplicity itself. An ANFO-mix bomb is just as easy except you need a detonator. Seriously, all you really need these days is the Internet. I don't think that Joe will build the pipe bomb, although he may be framed for it.

Couldn't be happier for you both! Money will be the determining factor, of course, but here's a piece of advice-- get as much done to the house as you can during the first two years or so. Bathroom upgrades, painting and landscaping should have priority. Carpeting if you need it. Don't go overboard buying furniture or new appliances-- big mistake! Get the basic infrastructure of the house in good shape and you'll be ahead of the game. Best of luck, Joe!

Yes, possibly-- but I think Becca would realize that when the fur stops flying she would be the biggest loser in the group. Maybe this is what leads to the Fracture?

The old saying goes that women always marry up-- or at least, they try to. Yes, I think Becca has a plan and she wants Jack to grease the skids for her. Our hero needs a buffer in this situation. The next time that Becca's name comes up on the caller ID, Jack should simply hand his phone to Kayla and let her deal with it. Problem solved.

Becca definitely has an OCD about her boyfriend. Craig once said that they had known each other since grade school so maybe Becca has been obsessing on him for years and now it's starting to boil over. Jack was supposed to stop being Mr. Fix-It but she keeps dumping on him. Another possibility is that Becca comes from a lower middle-class home and Craig's family is rich so maybe she's been looking for a meal ticket all along.

Don't know how important Matt (with the next-door locker) will be to the story. Recall from last year that Jack seldom visits his locker and relies mostly on his backpack. Matt was probably just being polite when he introduced himself and Jack reciprocated. Binyam and Shannon, now... they're definitely going to be messing with Jacks' head. He should ask Allan and Amanda what they know about those two.

Had one of those as well! Dual disk drives, 300 bps modem and a daisy wheel printer. I donated it all to the Smithsonian-- along with my Pickett slide rule.

Hmm... that sounds more like a Hewlett-Packard. HP-25 maybe? In college I had an HP-33E that had some internal memory. Funny when you think about it. We would go down the halls with those things hanging from our belts like we were Matt Dillon walking the streets of Dodge.

I used one back in the mid-'70s as I always rode my 10-speed to school if they weren't calling for rain or snow. The choice of backpacks in those days was pretty thin but I picked up a Vietnam-era ALICE pack at Goldfish Army-Navy store in downtown Cleveland-- OD green and made of ripstop nylon. It was pretty damn neat as it had two large inside compartments for notebooks and textbooks and three exterior compartments for just about anything else. Completely water resistant and totally secure. No way would your SR-50 fall out and cause you to cry like a 6-year old girl. [For those of you who don't know, the Texas Instruments SR-50 was one of the first "slide rule" calculators and worth risking your life for.] Anyway, my homeroom and locker were at one end of the "old" wing of my high school and the majority of my classes were in the newer sections so I got into the habit of having a before-lunch and after-lunch book load so just needed to hit my locker twice a day. Never caught any crap about my backpack and more than a few guys asked me, "where the hell did you get that?"

Thanks, Joe! Judging by all the theories, this is going to be the most anticipated chapter (and saga) yet. Something I've been wondering-- Are you going to keep the storyline in real time? That is, write for another two years until Jack and Kayla graduate? What then? End it or maybe skip over their college years and pick up after they're out on their own? If Jack studies theatre acting and Kayla veterinary science then they almost certainly won't be going to the same school. Whatever you decide to do, it's been great so far. Thank you!
