Summary:

Misti was sitting in class one day when KC walked in. He wore black and red, with make-up and piercings. He acted rude and self absorbed. But she never judged a book by the cover before... Forced to work on a class project together, the two teens slowly begin to understand each other and form a relationship.

Wow! This is AMAZING!

When do you think you will upload more? I really can't wait to read it!

One suggestion is to develop the characters more. Have more details as to why Misti is angered when she gets partnered up with KC, so before that you can show more ways KC is rude. It almost seems like they could be friends, then suddenly both of them are mad that they are partners.

I also think the ending is great! You should DEFINETELY keep it. You will be able to work the plot to lead up to that.

I also love how you have the poems at the beginning and end. That's a really good idea!

Your writing, I think, is amazing. It sounds like you have an excellent idea of where you would like to go with this story and that is great. I have a question though, that I hope you answer. Did you create the poems? If so. wow! Keep writing, even though you would have kept writing even if I didn't comment. If I were you, I would look for an agent......

I know that they have this dream-together thing going on but the chapter just seems a little random or to early. Maybe it belongs somewhere eles and KC's character is good and bad in the chapter because :

good -- He totally revels a different side of him

bad-- he totally revels a different side of him

Its confusing but you could use it as a foreshadowing of something...

just some of my thoughts on theat chapter

Thankyou for caring sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much ^-^....I just tured 16 and I know that my work needs alot of editing. I also know that I have to finish it, thats hard for me because I don't stick to my stories easily. My teacher owns the company, I've been there before, its a very small company, but its legit.

Uh oh. =\ I checked out the website, and I'm not entirely sure it's legitimate.  Have you talked to any editors, or the publishers themselves? Because while I don't know how old you are, so your work may be very good for your age, and I can understand how your English teacher would think that, that doesn't mean it's quite ready for publishing. First, you need to finish it.  Books, typically, need to be at least 50k, or else they're novellas, which are incredibly difficult to publish.  Write now I don't think you even have 10k.    Also, it needs a lot of editing.  That doesn't mean it's bad--everything needs lots of editing.  One girl in all the history of inkpop was published, is getting published, and she's been cleaning up her book for years, editing and refining. She's also in her twenties, so has her own money and can negotiate her own contract.

 

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I really don't want you to get scammed. I've seen it happen too many times before.
