1) I don't EVEN know what my penname was back then, but just so you know, this is the same person that you modeled "Cat" after (my real name is Emma)
2) We were RIDICULOUS when we were this young. I've been reading through a lot of reviews and PM's and stuff like that. What kind of person was I even?!
3) I'm 21 years old and I've decided to play with fanfiction this summer. I believe the last time I even looked at fanfiction was the summer before high school. So, like, over eight years ago.
4) I don't even know why I'm writing this. I guess if you ever see this - Hi! :)

please up date soon :-) this story is great so far and I cant wait to read the rest. yayayay cant wait for the relationship between chris and Jenna's gets juicier! ;))))))

Pleaaaase update again! I want to know what happens on Hudson and Natalie's date. :)

You know... updating would be nice because you haven't done it for what? 5 YEARS! lol, maybe you don't even remember that you have an account on here.

Neat! I like it. :) Very inspiring - especially this part:

It's very much unfair, right? But people still stand by appearances today.

Those people, the ones who get judged. They feel it. They feel that ridicule, that mocking, that pain. It socks them hard in the stomach, or hangs over their head.

The ones who stand by appearances. They could never quite understand that those nerds, nobodies, and lowlifes had feelings.

It was also extremely difficult for them to comprehend that one of their group finally did begin to understand.

Awesome job writing this. :)

Keep up your super-cool, very neat and creatively brilliant writing! :)

This is a really cool and very inspiring chapter! :) I like it - especially these parts:

Jenna strode into the girls' bathroom. She felt like she was going to throw up. Today was the worst day she had ever lived. So far. She just had this feeling that tomorrow would be worse, and probably the day after that, and maybe even the day after that. Some girl she had never even spoken to before came up to her and said "You know, I always looked up to you. Now I know that I've been looking the wrong way."

What a stupid thing to say. It didn't even make that much sense; besides the obvious fact that the girl was disappointed in her.

But why? What did Jenna ever do to these people? She never harmed them in any way…

Well, ok. She did trip a girl once. And last year she did reject this dorky guy who asked her to the dance first, and then went with one of the hunks from the football team. But so what? This was senior year, did any of that old stuff matter anymore? She never meant to hurt anyone's feelings by hanging out with Chris Chambers. Why was everyone taking it out on her? Is this what Chris' friends have to go through everyday too?

She suddenly realized that nobody knew who Chris' friends were, exactly. They only knew Chris, and by that, they knew his reputation. She never knew how much a reputation could affect other people.

The door to the bathroom opened

"She's such a slut."

"I dislike—no, hate—no, loathe Jenna Malone."

"She was always a bitch."

Her ex-friends.

"Hey, hand over the lipstick."

"Here."

"But why would she stoop so low so suddenly? She had class!"

"Probably because the Chambers trash is easy since everybody hates him and no one will do it with him. And since Jenna's a chronic nymphomaniac—"

"A what?"

"A sex maniac! Jesus, do I have to explain everything? Anyway, since she's such a nymphomaniac, she probably thought she could do him without any complaints."

"But every guy in Castle Rock was in love with her! Why him?"

"Maybe he was the only one willing to play those sex games she loves. You know—she plays the poor princess who gets raped by Jack the Ripper. Not that Chris Chambers needs to pretend to be Jack the Ripper…."

"Dang, she really is crazy. I heard that her parents are killing themselves. Not literally, but they are seriously mad at her."

"Really? Wouldn't be surprised. I heard she gave some of their money to Chambers, and he spent it all on booze. Now they're practically bankrupt."

"Laura told me that she can hear Jenna and Chris having sex upstairs, since you know, she lives right next door to her."

"Sarah said that they've been having threesomes with that anorexic gay boy…you know the one, with the hot dead older brother."

"I heard that too! Not to mention that his little redhead gal pal is dating a druggie."

"Eww, how totally rocker."

"Alright guys I'm finished."

"About time, huh?"

"Can we just go?"

Once the door to the bathroom slammed shut, she immediately emerged from her stall. What was she going to do? Turning towards the door, something red in the mirror caught her eye. Staring back, her mouth fell open in shock. On the mirror written crudely with fire engine red lipstick was the message.

JENNA MALONE IS A DIRTY CHRIS CHAMBERS WHORE!

C.C. THE GUTTER RAT AND J.M. THE GUTTER HOE

FOREVER!

Jenna let the tears come.

************************

Vern exclaimed with a little yelp, "Have you heard of Ace Merrill?"

Cat's dark brown eyes widened. Of course she had heard of Ace Merrill, who hadn't? He was a legend here in town. A legend for being the only person to drink and screw around more than the Chambers. He was also one of the roughest guys around. Cat remembered something about a story getting around that he had threatened a twelve year old kid with a knife once a couple of years back. But for some reason no one could fathom, girls loved him. He would always be able to reel in the girls. The only problem is, they'd never be cast back out to sea. Ace had disappeared from the town, everyone noticed, when a girl his age named Fredericka Fergusson was found murdered in an alleyway. The police never found him. Rumor has it that he still lurks around Castle Rock, waiting for young girls to prey upon. That's why no one stays out past 12:30 in Castle Rock. Ace Merrill had truly become a legend.

Very intriguing, and brilliantly written, too. :)

Keep up your super-neat, very creative and phenomenally awesome writing! :)

love it soo much already

Haha, I just started reading this story and I noticed this line:

“You wouldn’t know him,” Serena told her casually, “He lives in Canada. I met him at Niagara Falls.”

And I couldn't help but notice a possible "The Breakfast Club" reference? :P Anyway, I really like the story so far, the writing is very good.

I like this story!

I hope Hudson isnt going to do to much to Natalie.

I really hope you update soon!

The boy scoffed as he witnessed Jenna Malone smiling after Chris Chambers. What a dick. What a bitch. He loathed them both so much. Malone for being the Queen Bee snob of the school, strutting around as if she ruled the Earth. More like she ruled Hell. He’d seen her taunt other girls until they cried. He’d seen her laugh at other boys until they swiped angrily at their eyes, hiding their tears. He’d seen her become a tease and a piece of eye-candy to every single male in the entire school-the janitor included.

And Chambers? Well….it was hard to explain. Actually, there wasn’t really any real reason. He just hated him, simple as that.

His eyes glanced over at the popular girls table. But the only person he saw was Serena Austen. Serena. Gorgeous, tall, straight-backed, hazel-eyed, sleek black-haired, big-boobed Serena. Or Sexy Serena, as he loved to call her. And now longed to call her. He was torn in half. One side of him still very much loved Serena, and the other side said “To Hell with that bitch!” But he just wasn’t sure. She’d snapped his heart in two, but it was still beating. She had just put him down, not out. So he just followed his angry side. His angry side was just the first to come out. And it was a helluva lot more fun.

Although, he did miss her. The way she’d touch him softly, the way her words rattled off of her luscious lips, the way her personality could change so quickly…..their sexual escapades. He smirked his goofy looking smirk. Snippets of their nights of hungry passion flashed before him, almost making him crave her taste again.

Whoa.

He stopped himself. Slow down, Corporal Duchamp, slow down.

Brilliant chapter!

OMG, Ace's brother?

oh no! what's Hudson going to do? eek!

nasty boy

I love Natalie, but how dare she be mean to Gordie? eh? lol

Jenna is a really good character! somehow you can picture her as this evil 'Queen Bee' who's also really lovely underneath... or will she turn evil again? :S

hope not.. poor chris. loved the thing about the too small trousers, made me laugh SO much xD

can't help feeling so sorry for Teddy too... i love him to bits :D

PLEASE update soon! this story is absolutely amazing!

Very excellent story; I can't wait for more drama and suspense!

I love this story! Please update; I'm unable to wait for Chapter 16!

So, instead of studying for my exams, I just sat and read your whole story. Godammit. Very good though. Really nice contrast between the angst/drama of Chris, Gordie, Teddy etc. and the sweet romance between Vern and Cat (I love the way you're letting it unfold slowly). And was the swearing in the restaurant with Teddy and Serena a reference to Dogfight? If so, bravo.

One little niggly thing though, is the whole cocaine situation with Teddy. I can completely imagine him being a bit drug-fucked, and you've written his character really well, but I'm not entirely sure whether cocaine is most believable drug for someone in a small town college in the early 60s. And also, when Serena found him covered with white powder? You'd tend not to spill cocaine since it costs like 40 bucks a gram. ANYWAY, that ramble probably wasn't necessary, but I'm enjoying your story so much that I couldn't help getting into the characters' situations.

Please do update. You're on my alert list, so DON'T LET ME DOWN.

:D

Hey, so sorry about the late review. I loved this chapter it was great. I'm glad your back, :D

I can't wait to read more, so update asap.
