Hi, Gretchen.
What a great chapter. You've really taken the emotional elements and shown so well how Rory feels, completely used. This is the worst feeling anyone can go through, and so common to many teens. The ending works so well showing the changes to come between Rory and Dean. You have a wonderful YA book! Looking forward to the next scene.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

So he does finally find out she wasn't worth it and in such a dramatic way. I hope he is wrong about his relationship with his dad being forever changed, after all, they are all they have.
The writing grabs you and keeps you, and leaves you ready for more.
How many chapters do you plan on having in the book?

I was afraid this would happen and I was right but wish that I would have been wrong. I hope that Rory doesn't get the third degree from his Father. Good read and keep up the good work.

Very well paragraphed.
The use of spelling is nicely done.
I like the expertise in presentation and eloquent flow of the story. The punctuation does a lot of justice to this piece. A perfect length for the average FS story reader. Good job.

Wow, That was unexpected. I thought he was going to get in a stupid fistfight, but it never dawned on me it was his father.

Now as I stand on the other side of the line, [An inspired line, Gretchen, after you said, "there is a line you don't cross with Dean French."

Oh no! I wonder if the cops reported his truck or something.
I guess we will find out what gives in the next chapter. These are really good and very true to life for me anyway.

Man oh man, you have really written a 'real' book for young adults. So damn good, authentic, touching every emotion, every self-doubt and zeroed in--right into the emotional life of a teenager.

Tres impressive! I'm so glad you continued this chapter after Boyd kicked the door closed. For me, it's a perfect chapter, giving me, the reader, total satisfaction and yet still wanting, but content to wait for the next scene.

A pretty sad sequel to the previous chapter I read, that's how life tends to be with all your plotting and planning, self deception and all those negative little wrongs that seem to catch up with us all at once, great write in this, absorbing and the maintenance of tension was non stop, I really enjoyed this, a most enjoyable work. Blessings, Roy.

What a shame. It is really hard to outsmart your parents. My
son and daughters still can't fool me. I read them like a book. Of course I don't have to pay that much attention anymore. They are over their games. I wonder how Dean knew where the party was. Now you really have my attention. What will he do? .Hmmmmmmm! Nancy
