Yeah, about time she admitted Dylan was history and about time Bill told her he makes music .It's also good Bill trusts her enough to let her know he has family troubles. I feel so sorry for every young person with a difficult life at home, it can mess up their most beautiful years.

Author's Response:

but she hasn't broken up with dylan yet... n yea about the family problems. they are out there

I hope she will end it with Dylan....and be with Bill :)
update soon:) nice chapter :)

Author's Response:

u have to wait until chapter 459 till bill and ash get together lol j/k

I have just finished reading the entire story. What I like in it is that you don't rush things. After all, the two ARE different and their getting together process is the whole point. It's only natural that everything takes time. I also like their meetings, they never fail to pick on each other, but there is still the emotion deep down, the one that two words or a breath can hold on the phone line. It's interesting you coupled a "normal" highschool girl preoccupied - like all of them? - by her reputation with a totally original guy like Bill, who gives shit on what anyone has to say against him. He is so powerful inside that he can infect his new "partner" into being herself as well and that is the moment I'll be patiently waiting for. Small piece of advice: don't take too long updating, the atmosphere inside readers (but especially the one inside you, the author) is what keeps the torch hot and burning. Love!

Author's Response: Thank you! ikr! I hate it when i read a good story on here only to find tht in the thrid chapter the pair is already kissing! Lol thank u for understandin tht a good story does go through boring chapters and waiting for the good stuff is worth it! Liebe

For sure Dylan was in her room snooping around looking for clues and whatnot. Hopefully Bill will not get hurt from this event and maybe there is a slight improvement on their relationship. I'm really curios as to what the downgrade meaning is. Just because someone called past nine meant they have to be punished? Hmmmm... what's going on in the Kaulitz Family XD All in all, great chapter and hopefully you can update soon. Ciao!

Author's Response:

lol bill's phone downgrade wasn't because he called after nine XD <-- i like tht  

ok 1.we all know that it was dylan who was in her room, 2. theyre relationship is progressing slowly i would say but dylan needs to get the hell out of the way

Author's Response:

lol he won't get out of the way automatically. he needs to be terminated lol

Dylan was in Ashley's room. And - Poor Bill is really in for it.

Author's Response:

yep

Oh my God! Holy flying macaroni :O Wow.
Oh goodness. I feel so bad for Ashley's and Bill's life right now. Wow. They better run away.

Okay, first of all, THANK YOU sooo much for uploading this chapter, very nice of you :) Merry late Christmas and Happy early New Year!

Back to the story:
1) It was definitely Dylan in Ashley's room. I'm guessing that he probably put a camera in there or something to spy on her (not a good guess--I know)
2) YES! The relationship is definitely progressing! I mean, he gave her a CD! And, he actually smiled at her, according to the chapter.

I really enjoyed reading this chapter. I hope that you upload the next one pretty soon :)

Author's Response:

lmao @ the camera idea. Dylan is crazy, but he isn't an idiot...

Hey! Will you be able to update soon? Lol, sorry, I just really want to read what happens next, and you haven't update since the last week of November. I'd be really happy if you could update soon.

Author's Response:

honestly, i'm tired of school, so ima nap when i get home and then i'll finish with chapter 11 :)

Hey, I know you said you rewrote the first few chapters, but I think you might want to rewrite all of them so that this isn't such an obvious rip-off of 'Nevermore' by Kelly Creagh. At the very least, remove the blatant plagiarism.

"By the end of seventh period (health class), my espresso buzz from the mid-afternoon’s Venti latte that Dylan had gotten me had soon crashed" Chapter 10: Big gulps - The Baxterli Experiment.

"By the end of fourth period, Isobel’s espresso buzz from that morning’s venti latte had long since worn off." Chapter 1: Assigned - Nevermore.

"“ talk to her again, let alone touch her. Do you understand?”

Turning the corner, I stopped dead in my tracks.

A tall, darkly-clad figure stood in a slouch, his long, lean back pressed up against a row of dark green lockers, that annoying, wretched red notepad of his tucked beneath one long, thin arm. Dylan hovered over him, wearing his red and black letter jacket, which pumped up his already bulking shoulders. Bill, moderately thin and fragile-looking, appeared able to no nothing more than endure, his head hanging low, long, wispy black hair draped down his face, curtaining his brown eyes.

I don’t know what the hell went through me because the next thing I knew, I was advancing towards them, more wide awake now, feeling an anger I couldn’t explain flash inside of me.

“Hey!” I called, closing in on the two of them. “What’s going on?” I asked.

Bill’s eyes suddenly lifted, locking onto mine, an intense and critical look that stopped me cold.

I swear, ugh!!! When I see that Rachel, I’m going to rip every single string of blonde hair right of out her pretty little head!

“Nothin’, babe. Nothin‘,” Dylan said, pushing away from the lockers, running his palm through his thick, dark brown hair. He stuffed a hand into the pocket of his jacket and walked over towards me, slinging an arm around my shoulders and planting a kiss on the side of my head with a loud and audible “Mmwah.”

I peered over at Bill and noticed that his expression remained blank, though his eyes were even more piercing than ever. The world around me smudged into oblivion, and I found it hard, once again, to tear myself away from those unforgiving brown orbs.

Did he think I ran off and told Dylan? Then again, what else was there for him to think?

I opened my mouth to speak again, to set the record straight, but Dylan pushed forward, while pulling me in closer as he began walking away with me. I could still hear his heavy breathing, making me wonder if this was all over or not, and hopefully, it was. I let him angle me away, and his hand lowered to pat me gently on the ass.

“Don’t,” I winced, but nonetheless kept walking away.

Anything to get away from those eyes." Chapter 10: Big gulps - The Baxterli Experiment.

"“—talk to her again. Do you understand?”

Turning the corner, Isobel halted. A black-clad figure stood in a slump, his back pressed against a row of cobalt blue lockers, his tattered black hardback journal tucked beneath one arm. Brad hovered over him, wearing his blue and gold letter jacket, which bulked up his already hulking shoulders.

Varen, comparatively thin and frail-looking, appeared able to do little more than endure, his head hanging, his wispy black hair draped in his face.

An anger she couldn’t explain flashed inside of her.

“Hey!” she called, closing in on them.

Varen’s eyes lifted, locking on her, a look as stark as it was accusing, and it stopped her cold.

So help her, Isobel wanted to strangle Nikki till those stupid little blue and gold puff-balls popped off.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothin’, babe. Nothin’,” Brad said, pushing away from the lockers, running a palm through his thick amber hair, glossy in the fluorescent lighting and still wet from the showers. He stuffed a hand into the pocket of his jacket and walked to meet her, slinging his other arm around her shoulders and planting a kiss on the side of her head with an audible “Mmwah.”

Varen’s expression remained blank, though his gaze chiseled into her, causing the world around her to smudge into oblivion, and she found herself unable to break away.

Did he think she ran off to tell Brad? Then again, what else was there for him to think?

Isobel opened her mouth to speak again, to set the record straight, but Brad’s arm tightened around her shoulders, jostling her against him. This, combined with his deodorant and Zest soap smell, reminded her that he was there. Still in macho mode and still in reach of the strange boy who had asked her what she was staring at and who was now, intently, staring at her. Isobel closed her mouth.

She let Brad angle her away. He dropped his arm to pat her tender rear.

“Don’t,” she said, wincing, but kept moving.

There's lots more, but I won't quote it all.

Author's Response: Yeah i pretty much physically reiterate books and lots of other movies and stories that i call my favorite, however i add original ideas tht i myself have thought of. though this story is based off Creagh`s book (and others like i said) the conflict and point is completely different from the actual book as you see there is nothing supernatural about this story like nevermore was and the two main characters are bought together in english (like the book :)) but not for edgar allen poe ;) its also based on my life experiences since i really had to do a project like this a while ago, and how the idea of popularity makes ppl miss out on meaningful friendships and great experiences. i probably shouldve mentioned the basis of my story, but i didnt think it was needed to be pointed out since a lot of writers here do the same thing. i wouldnt exactly call this story a ripoff because of other things going on, but i do apreciate the heads up :)

more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more dont stop writing!!!! :)
