A nice story, I did like the idea, but I found it to be rather badly written.
I get the idea that we're following the thoughts and feelings of an adolescent and that it's therefore written in colloquial language, but still, I just found the language use annoying and distracting. There were also some grammatical and spelling errors that I found distracting. I really feel the author should work on developing his writing style...

All in all, not really a bad story, but I think it could have been much better, there was a lot more potential in it.… (mere)
