Can't wait :) thanks for writing, and I'll be watching for updates :)

You know, it could have been worse. He could really be a creeper. :)

Another great chapter ;)

Aww, they'll be good friends. I'm glad she found her :)

okay...that was sort of an okay apology...now off to the next chapter.

seems like an interesting story as long as Jake doesn't ever develop feelings for Bella...I'm fine...LOL!!!

I am not a Jake fan, but can deal with him in this as there is no love interest between him and Bella.

Very Yummies as my best friend would say.  Truly delicious lemon and I think that Jake just may have found the love of his short life.  Can't wait for more.

Aww...glad Bella and Edward started talking :) The sparks are just starting :)

Jake has to have a little fun too.

thanks for the wonderful update.

Hell Jake deserves to get laid.  He is hot enought to get laid every night.  Not to mention that he is a good friend and very considerate.  I am glad that Bella has relaxed a litlle and enjoyed Edward's company.  Can't wait for more.

Jake squeezed Bella’s shoulder and pointed to the determined skim boarder.  “That’s you.” Jake smiled.  “You just don’t know it yet.”

I started crying hard!!

What are units in college? Are they like credit hours? Or are the levels? Thats what we have here in my school?

::Passes you a kleenex, sniffles with you::  Here, courses are worth different amounts of units, based on things like the length/difficulty of the course.  They are like credit hours.

Oh jeez, wasn't expecting the very next chapter to be the last update! Wow. So many small details really make this into a gem of a story. I love your descriptions, love the little details like the girl on the beach. The small moments between Bella and Jake....it just all adds up, you know? It's such a delicate balance and SO easy to tip the scales, going overboard on descriptions and tangents. It's also so damn easy to mischaracterize someone...and I'm not talking about SM's characters. I'm talking about the characters you've created right here in the story. I'm talking about the mark you've made on them...the way you've given them your own brand of depth and interest. It would be easy for even you to slip up and make one of them say or do something that doesn't fit. Something that would ruin the fic for me (and has many times in the past). But you haven't. And this fic? It is pure, unadulterated gold. You understand your characters and that's more rare than you can imagine. What a pleasure it is to stumble on something like this. I truly can't wait for more.

It's true that I understand the characters, but I think that's more mental illness than anything.  They've become voices in my head.  Haha.  Thank you so much for your kind words!  I would like to send you some pom-poms, and some of my special chocolate chip cookies.  And maybe a pony.  ;)
