Five Years and Four Days Ch. 00

It's a prologue, meaning there will be more right? I've really enjoyed reading this and I would love to see more from you. I seriously can't wait!!

5 points, er, stars, to @careythomas for a marvelous start! I love the characters already!

Very nice.

Wow I'm totally intrigued as to where this will go. I already love these characters as well, especially Alex and Jessica. Wonderful story and I can't wait for the next installment. Five stars of course.

More..... please don't keep us waiting

Very good

This is a very good start to what I am sure to be a great series, but I could not help but think this story line is almost like the Harry Potter stories, there are similar events like the school, the points for each student, the perfect, all that is missing are the houses names and a few others, still I look forward to reading more

Thanks for the comments! I uploaded the story in its entirety, so the rest of it is working its way through the review process. On the Harry Potter point - yes, lots of similarities, but mostly because those are elements (prefects, school captains, short/long leaves, points) common across many long-standing boarding schools in the UK. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story and keep the comments (positive or not) coming!

please more sooooon!!!!

Very well written

I really like the way you write.
Gentle, caring for your characters, convincing.
And I do hope that the next instalment will have more x-rated action in it, if the dream is a good indication.

Amazing!

This story is very well written and flows! Can't wait to read more! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

Great style...

Even better story movement and syntax. Gonna give it 4... No, I'm gonna give it 5 stars. Great way to start a story thread. This has the potential to go the distance.

Keep them coming!!!

Hooray, a back story...

Love a good back story. Interesting dynamics, lots of good characters, and very believable. Look forward to learning more about Jessie's past.

More!

Ahhh, I want more so bad and soon! This is going to be amazing!

A great opening chapter!

A wonderful start to this story! I can't wait to read more of it! Thank you!

Yes I'm Hooked

Really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to reading more. Thank you.

What is next???

I read the first parts and then it stoppped when it should just be beginning!!!!

Congratulations

You have nicely captured the flavour of the British school story of yesteryear and have used some nice imagery: Clash's ability to wear a tie without seeming to (I well remember we hulking fifth and sixth formers of the Fifties trying---very James Dean---to appear cool and nonchalant in terrible uniforms that didn't do cool and nonchalant; and your line about teens being conditioned to collapse into furniture---so very accurate. Five stars to your house, Miss Thomas, looking forward to reading and marking your next essay.

I did as you suggested

I went back and read this after reading the four part story. So glad you made the suggestion in the prologue to do that because on the first read through, I didn't make it past page one. I'm not really interested in 18 year old girls and thought it might be yucky. Now I realize I may have bypassed a jem. Thank you for submitting this terrific story. I can't wait to read more from you.
