You're not very nice, making me still wait to see if Alan's okay. I've run out of cookies and milk, so am getting by on pure adrenalin and sugar buzz!
I am hoping to read good news in the next chapter.
The school sounds extremely nice, you've done a good job setting up the scene there and introducing new characters.

However, I must return now to my silent vigil waiting for news of Alan!

    You sound so good! personally, I hit the wine, if I'm reviewing that late at night, but there again, Cruella taught me a few things! Thank you, my friend. I'm now getting morbid because I only have nine of your wonderful reviews to go! Alexis x

well Alexis you've done it again
This chapter is rather engaging. Lisa is off to school, can't call out after dark and Alan is just being Alan. Now the unread letter. Me thinks there is a skunk about to enter the room

Lisa seems to be in her youthful essence at the school. It's good to see her "acting her age" and being somewhat carefree. I can't wait to see what happens to her as she matures; I'm guessing that the photo taken of her previously will come back to haunt her at some point. Another good chapter; I'm still reading.

Hi there, Alexis. I'm just catching up on your latest. Both have me in suspense, so I'm reading on. Excellent writing, of course. Let me know when there's a contest for book writers. You're the only one I read and I want to vote for you, okay;) Love, Lisa

    Thank you so much for picking up on that, Margaret. It's amazing how often you can read something when editing, and still miss things. Thank goodness for Fan Story, and people as good as you at reviewing! Thank you. Alexis x

OH my goodness. I can't wait to see what is going to happen!!

I feel like the brakes were cut by the jerk photographer and he placed a bottle in the car. Just what I'm thinking.

Wow, this is a page turner. Girl, you are a great writer! Seriously! My heart is pounding, I don't know how I'm supposed to sleep tonight. I find myself thinking about your story and trying to work out what will happen and what "I" want to happen.

Great work!

If there wasn't, she decided that she was going to get the next train back to London./Use weren't instead of wasn't----
Amy plonked herself uninvited, down on the seat beside her./Delete uninvited. It doesn't matter----Another good chapter.

Good introduction into the school and glad to see she doesn't feel like an outcast and on her own. I feel her pain, not knowing why Allan is not answering her calls. I want to know what's in the letter too lol You do like to keep us in suspense ;) Great chapter. I just saw this .. heartless human being(s) on the planet. Alex :)

Okay. I saw a couple of changes. I'll take your word for it you changed them all! :-)


Hi alexis,

Cool chapter! Sounds like a good place for Lisa to be, and Amy sounds like she'll be a good friend.

Now, dang, girl, you makin' me work for this money! lol

By the time the train pulled away(,) Lisa was able

Okay, I'm sure there's more, but I found right off the bat.

This time, you gotta holler at me after you revise to get another star!

REally a great chapter. Looking forward to the next one!
