Federer does enjoy his students (well, Roddick and Stan so far) very much. :)

I enjoyed writing that last scene - it was one that made me decide to write this story in the first place - so that made my day.

Thank you.

P.S. - Of course Novak and Ernie are not dating. Obviously. :)

Bwahaha, Robot Chicken. I don't know if I feel for Ernie more or for Mandy who had to see that XD But huge aww for poor Mandy D: AWWW. I hope he soon realizes how cute and respectable guy he really is!

I can't help but notice how Richie controls his fair share of the school and the dorm (which includes a certain RA as well) XD Hopefully, his plan to help out Marin and Evgeny would work out beautifully!

I've been waiting for the new update and I was very excited to read this chapter =D Thanks for the fast, contentful(?) update and I hope there's more to come soon :)

Mandy didn't see anything. There's nothing to see. Because Novak and Ernie are not a couple (even if everyone believes otherwise).

Nice catch regarding Richie - though it's not like he could have resisted helping Marin once Evgeny tracked him down.

Thank you muchly.

Rafa and Mandy are quickly becoming my favorites. Why are they so cute? Richie is still crazy, and I'd say he meddles too much except that I do exactly that and it's entertaining as hell XD.
Okay, I don't know who Novak and Ernie think they're fooling. Themselves?
At this rate Marin is going to get Evgeny- no matter what XD.
Fun chapter: but not Robin, please Mandy lololololol!

I do enjoy writing Rafa and Andy so that makes me smile.

Clearly Novak and Ernie aren't fooling the others.

Glad you enjoyed.

Sorry sorry -- I just got back home yesterday, but didn't think to check LJ stuff until now. 6-_-;; So instead of Friday, you updated on Sunday? Wow, wish I could write my own stuff at your rate...

No Evgeny, but lots of talk about him... Can't wait to see how this study session with him, Marin, and Richie goes. ^_^

Yay, more name mentions~! Henman's the head of grad-level chem, right? And Moya and Stan are in that dept, too? I'd totally major in chem just to hang around that building... ~_^ Although... Feds is still sketchy. Of course he and Stan would have a relationship, too. Can't really blame either Stan or Richie for their animosity, considering who's at the root of it...

Pffft. Novak and Ernie. Seriously, guys. You're not fooling anyone. XD Everyone's comments about the two of them are classic. Also, Novak (or anyone, really) wearing glasses makes me smile~ That bit about the suite full of geeks was very nice

I have no idea why this story is getting updated so quickly. That said, I know that won't hold true this time. The next chapter(s) are all over the place at the moment.

Federer knows how to stir trouble, that is for sure - especially since he hasn't really appeared in the fic yet though that changes soon, now that he has to deal with pissed-off Stan.

While Novak in general doesn't appeal to me IRL, the times he does are when he's wearing glasses. Then again I wear glasses so that could be my bias.

It's like I'm a mindreader or something with the Swedish thing. :P It had to be Robin - nobody else could get Rafa mad. I definitely do not want to write him as a villain though; it's better for Rafa's reasons to be petty.

I actually do some description of the makeover in the next chapter. Andy agreed just to get it over with, though I hadn't thought about the center of attention part

[krisherdown]

I was looking for something else and found this magazine cover of Robin you might enjoy (I'd ignore the comments below as they seem to be anti-Sod).

[creepy_shetan]

Ooh, thanks~ I check Forty Deuce every once in a while, but I missed that one. ^^ I tend to not read comments on most blogs anyway, but skimming them led to a pic of the full cover. (The quote under his name is rather... Interesting. XD)

Btw, agreed on Novak and the glasses bias. (Although I've been wearing mine for 8-ish years and love seeing other ppl wearing them, I don't think of myself as a "glasses person.")

...I think I just died at the thought of either of them singing anything, let alone something like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." XDDDDD
