thismy Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Jashley, serious question. Do Jack and Kayla have a song? Like it's 'their song.' Because the closest I can get is Under Pressure, and I'm not sure that one counts. If anyone else can answer this I'd take. Maybe we don't know 'their' song or maybe they just don't have one.

I don’t think they’ve ever talked about their favorite music— at least that I can recall. At the Homecoming dance Jack said that ‘Under Pressure’ was one of his favorite songs. I’m trying to remember when Jack and Kayla actually did have a slow dance. He got banned from the Prom last year so I don’t know where else they could have settled on a special song. Perhaps Jashley can remedy that when Valentine’s Day comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They once talked about a song they hated - 'Want U Back' by Cher Lloyd. That's the only other mention of music I can recall, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanielT Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I’ve tried to create an account about 5 times, I’m guessing someone out there doesn’t like me. xD But yeah, just wanted to say I too have been reading this since the early days when it was on the blue site, along with Bashful’s stuff (chapter 18 of Bashful’s stuff = dude holy crap). Love both stories. If anyone knows of any similar ones, feel free to let us know! Sometimes it’s nice to have something to read during the wait… although I’m happy to wait for the good content so don’t take that as a sign to rush, jashley.

One thing that I’ve been wondering about is the friction that seems to be coming from both Joe and Kayla. Joe’s crack, “Because that’s what you do,” and Kayla’s cynical “Nothing” comment tells me that they’re both fed up with Jack doing anything that even might call attention to himself. Be interesting to see where this leads since we all know that Jack can’t help but call attention to himself. Also, what do you think Joe is really up to? Going to the counselor’s office before Homeroom on the first day? Forgetting his phone? Could be that he’s trying to distance himself.

Chester57 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Good chapter. A few things I noticed— It’s been a year and a half since Brad was expelled and jailed but Jack, Jessica and Joe are obsessed with the possibility that he’s got some Machiavellian scheme to get revenge. I think that Rhona was right— if Brad was going to cause trouble, it would have happened by now. He’s got to be afraid of violating the restraining order and going back to prison which is why he took off after accidently running into the group. They need to forget about him. Especially Jack. Ms. Cartwright’s attitude toward Jack when he approached her seemed a little weird considering their past history. I wonder if she’s been hit on while at school and this is her defense mechanism when a student gets too close? We’ll see. Who do you think Amanda is so chummy with all of a sudden? Obviously, a classmate— but boy or girl? I’m betting girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caide Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Great chapter. Sadly the friction jack is causing with Kayla and his friends is getting worse. Also why do I have a bad feeling that Amanda is talking to brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were talking about the assignment...” Also, I don’t think she would sound so giggly and happy if talking to Brad.

Infamous Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Something tells me that Kayla is getting tired of jacks shit. I think he might get the “I think we should take a break” speech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caide Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 yep I'm starting to agree, if he doesn't get his head out of his ass. Since he is training now I can bet that's not going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d almost like to see it happen. Especially now that Jack is going to be spending a lot of one-on-one time with Jessica playing kissy-face as George and Emily in Our Town. I’d love to see Kayla get insanely jealous. What this story needs is a good knock-down, drag-out cat fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanielT Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I’d like to see it happen, honestly. There is only so much you can bring to the table with Kayla & Jack romance at this stage – as much as I adore the story, I must concede I do quietly miss those early chapters. I mean, it’s weird. I want Kayla & Jack to remain together forever, but at the same time, I absolutely long for seeing how Jack’s world would develop if she weren’t in the picture right now. Mostly because I’d love to see a story from the perspective of Rhona, Jessica, Amanda, etc. Perhaps in the distant future, jashley can write their stories once Kayla & Jack are done going through the motions of a set-in-stone romance where, because of the title, you know everything is going to work out in the long run and Jack isn’t going to shift his feelings away from Kayla to someone new. It’s sort of like with The Simpsons – if Marge and Homer get upset with one another, we all know they’re going to work it out by the end of the episode. This isn’t a criticism of jashley though, the story is still riveting regardless and I read every chapter excited to find out what interactions Jack will have next with the rest of his world.

Know exactly what you mean but those days are gone. When the story began Jack was a model student who never caused a problem. Now, however, he has the reputation of a trouble-maker and the distinction of being Number One on the principal’s shit list. I’m sure that all of Jack’s teachers were told to watch him very closely and report anything unusual. If there’s any action at Brow Ridge this year then Jack had better stay out of it. (yeah, right!)

Jashley13 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hey everyone! Really sorry about the lack of updates but I’m just entering the last phase of my first school and I wanted to focus purely on studying and the story so I unfortunately did not have time for the Reality Check at my normal time. But now that I’ve passed my final exams and am just waiting to graduate, I find myself with a lot more time. So, here’s the Reality Check for the past couple chapters: - Just lump all of the school stuff with classes and the teachers together. That was basically my experience my Senior year of high school. - Jack’s lines about not wanting to go to his final year of school for any reason other than to get his diploma? I annoyed the Hell out of my friends with that line. - Jack’s neurosis about Brad and the advice he gets is basically an amalgamation of everything that was said to me in similar situations when people I didn’t want back in my life came back into my life. A lot of summation with the Reality Check, I know, but if I listed off each individual piece of real-world slice-of-life, this post would never end. Hope you're all doing well! I’m closing in on the end of the next chapter and hope to have it up by this weekend. I still don’t know exactly how many chapters will be in this Saga but I’ll keep you updated as I know see you guys soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
