Wow. I wanted to slap him myself for a moment there. I've been a bit angst-shy lately so I put off reading this for a few days... Yeah, I needed to for the first bit. He sure knows how to be an **, doesn't he? But I really like how things are shaping up with Brian and Rayanne.

I liked seeing Angela ask Shane for his help with figuring out what's up with Jordan; and the jealousy felt right from him, seeing a situation like that. He needs to talk to her though, about feeling like he's bringing her down. Honestly, I think ANY relationship she'd be in at this point would cause her to neglect her school work a bit. She's sixteen; ignoring reality and responsibility is kinda something sixteen year olds do when they get involved romantically. Add to that that Jordan still totally sees himself as a bit of a loser and it's going to take a lot for him to change that perspective of himself.

It was a great chapter and I'm so glad you shared it with us, thank you! Good luck with the next one!!

Thanks so much for that wonderful present of an update! I must admit that I am totally addicted to your story and always hopefully scan my emails for that little update alert.

Wow..there's so much that I really liked about this chapter...I love how Jordan is all bothered about how he thinks he's bringing our Angela down and that the realization of this is tearing him up, as in he thinks that this can't last forever and that he's not good for her...the fact that this bothers him so much and he even realized this (or thinks so) shows how hard he is really falling for her..and in true Jordan fashion..ofcourse he doesn't communicate this to her..but instead shuts down and is an a**hole to her.

I must say that because I know the reason he is being such a jerk to her, makes it hot...it's not because he really is a jerk...but b/c he cares so much about what being with him is doing to her. Kudos for making Angela not take his sh*t for too long..again that is very much in character with her...she takes it for a while..but then eventually stands up for herself...Brian also cracked me up..just how he's just always there in those type of moments...observing and lurking...and I love how he blurted out how his understanding of how Jordan felt about Angela being all he wants (because he feels the same way) and the way he tried to cover it...as well as how he hates that Jordan is the one with her and being his confidant..but that at the end of the day he just wants her to be happy, even if it's at the cost of his feelings...in a way that's what made me see past all of Brian's annoying and cowardly traits, that he really cares about Angela and really has a good heart...

Rayanne also cracked me up a lot in this chapter as she was very true to character...her exchange with Angela and calling her "toots" for some reason cracked me up because I could totally see her doing that. As well as how she just decided to designate Brian as her "sponsor" without so much as asking him! So very Rayanne...I also thought that Sharon was "umming" with Shane for a second...until the part where she was berating herself for sleeping with him yet again...which indicated to me that it was Kyle...but for some reason I think there may be more to this..since you didn't state that it was Kyle...wow...anyways...sorry for rambling but it's no secret how much I admire your genius and how I can never get enough of it...

I can't wait to see where you take us with all of this...As in what will happen b/w Jordan and Angela and Brian and Rayanne...and finally if Sharon is really with Kyle...or if it's someone else (ahem..Shane). Please update soon. It really brightens my day. Thanks so much for feeding my addiction...Oh that also reminds me how much I loved the part about Rayanne totally nailing Brian about his addiction to Angela and comparing it to hers! Genius!

I love your story. I really miss the show. I just got the series on DVD and was craving more. I can't wait to read more.

You updated my favourite fic, I so love you very much. Can you stand another frivolous praise from an avid fan? Because if you are here goes. What I love about this is the element of mystery that you injected in this story. Your right on the target about Jordan's inner struggle. For somebody whose been in the deep end. I can say that you capture the Jordan's character realistically. It's not easy for People whose been through a lot, to get use to be in a quite and tranquil relation. He's not messing it up with Angela. He's just being confuse. People who grew up in a traumatic and tumultuous environment has the same response as people who grew up in a quite loving and warm environment as Angela. when they are face with change. I also love how Shane is seeing Angela in a clear light. all in all Luvy J I would say. This chapter is another MASTERPIECE.

It's so good. love it. feel really sad for poor Jordan who we adore even when he's an a**hole, I always thought that harsh streak of his would need to surface and be dealt with. Angela going from worried to sad to mad was really well done, loved Shane seeing her smile. Rayanne is brilliant, you nailed her and Brian as her sponsor (and addict) is truly inspired. THIS IS A GREAT CHAPTER. Even the garbage truck scene was super good. Good for you.

Another awesome chapter! The fact that Jordan is struggling so hard with how to balance these two seemingly conflicting sides of himself in order to find his place in Angela's life would tell anyone how much he really cares about this girl, and that there's no way in hell he could just walk away from her now, but of course he's too bent out of shape at the moment to see that.

I too am guilty of finding it totally hot when he's an **. What can I say I; I am a Rayanne! Speaking of Rayanne, I'm in love with this new relationship that's developing between her and Brian... it's fall out of the chair funny and good for both characters!

another awesome chapter...you did a great job with Jordan's lil internal battle about Angela...i'm really really anxious to know how that situation plays out...lol the part with Sharon was hilarious...at first i almost thought she was with Shane, which would have been hilarous...but then i realized she was just with Kyle again...lol...and then Rayanne choosing Brian as her sponser is just awesome...love the chapter...can't wait for more

Oh, Chapter 15, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

This is so emotionally f'd up of me, but Jordan's behavior, though completely that of a dick, is somehow hot. But only because I know he has noble intentions. Yowza. The part where he pulls over and opens the door for Angela to get out and then pulls back up to her is just so fitting with his original character.

Rayanne cracks me up here, even though her sadness is obvious to me. The quip about getting the proper red dye intake had me giggling. Also, her rundown about the days of the week and why they're all better than Tuesday was hilarious. In fact, she made me giggle a lot during this chapter. Very true to her form.

Merry (early) Christmas to me! Good present from you, thank you.

More chapters pretty please? This is my favorite story of MSCL.

oh, I just stumbled over your story. And I am loving it! A lot! I am looking forward to the next chapter... what will be happening between Angela and Jordan ;-)
I really like how you are incorporating all the characters in your story!! It is really like a continuation of the series! Great! thanks for sharing!

I really liked this chapter because Brian and Rayanne's interaction was hilarous...as was Brian's and his father's. I could picture that actually happening on the show itself. I am also curious to see as to what becomes of Sharon and Shane (if anything) and the possibility of Rickie and Aaron. Im glad you did that because now Rickie can feel like there is someone else out there that can truly relate to him and that he isnt as alone as he thinks he is. I am very curious to see where this new revelation and relationship with Aaron takes Rickie. I hope he has a chance at happiness because he was always one of my favourite characters on the show because I felt that he was such a genuine and nice person, but you could tell that he was loneley at times because he was different and because he felt that because of this that he didnt belong anywhere or with anyone. Please update soon, I love your story!

Just started reading this tonight.. It's almost 1 in the morning but I'm upset that there isn't anymore to read. If I can, I will try to write up a better review until then keep up the good work! =)

LuvJ as usual, YOU DELIVERED! I'm glad that your exploring the other characters story arc. I like the possibility of Shane and Sharon pairing, And also Ricky and Aron but I'm still skeptical about the Rayanne and Brian encounter. I think this pairing is very volatile, but I still trust you with were going with this.

Last but not least . I wish to express my gratitude to all MSCL fan fiction writers in this board, for taking the time in your busy schedules to update your story and satisfy the hunger the neglected fans of the show like me, hunger for the show that was prematurely pulled away from us. LuvJ, Goodnight girl and many more I hope you'll not get tired of updating.

There's so much in this chapter that makes me laugh. Of course Rayanne and Brain together in almost any capacity is sure to bring the laughs. Then there was that great line from Shane when Jordan asks if he needs to remind him that Sharon is off limits and he replys with "you can remind me now, doesn't mean I'll remember later" that has to be one of my favorites. Then Rickie's realization that Aaron took him to a gay bar not a deserted field to ditch him in. Oh and then Angela thinking to herself that thanks to her mother and her rules she'll be a virgin until she's 90! It was just packed full of giggles and it's great to know that you're just as good at writing comedy as you are at writing drama, it's nice to have a break form all the heavy stuff every now and then. Keep up the great work!

New reader. Absolutely love it. Keep it going.
