Poppyhoney, you have really set the stage with Jack and the others reaching camp. Wonder who the James Dean type could be? Jack is of course charming the girls. He may find riding herd on the teen age boys to be a tough job. Looking forward to more.

thanks

Hi greatmtn, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. And you are so right about Jack - charming the girls will most definitely be the easy part of his time on camp. It's going to be fun to see how Jack does with the hormonal teenagers!! Thanks for reading!

Oh poor Meli! She hasn't got a chance now that Jack's seen The Mysterious Sandwich-Eating James Dean. :) I love your careful development of the atmosphere, tone, and characters already--and I was biting my nails all chapter waiting for Ennis to show up. You naughty girl, leaving him for the end. Now I don't know what I'll do until you update again. Thanks so much for deciding to share this with us--I cannot wait (Literally. I hope you're writing right now!) for the next installment. And let me second Em's suntan lotion fantasy above. I have a bunkbed fantasy we can chat about sometime as well. xx Jen

Hey Jen, Oh I loved your comment!! Made me smile. "The mysterious sandwich-eating James Dean"!!! lol I'm glad you liked the way the first chapter developed, that's important to me, seeing as I've never done this before. Having feedback like that is crucial. Sorry that you had to bite your nails though....don't blame me, blame a certain beta. *winks* She knows what's she doing, or so I'm told. lol I promise it won't be long until the next chapter. Oh and as for camp fantasies...well, my mind is full of them too. I look forward to discussing them with you.

Damn, just like that. Given up to the ravenous mob.

Now...if there was a Mysterious Sandwich Eating James Dean in that mob...I might not mind it so much.

This is off to a great start! I liked how Jack immediately felt that he wanted to go up and introduce himself. I'm sure Ennis's stony demenaor will lessen a bit as Jack starts to work his charm. =)

Hi Michelle! Thanks for commenting. I'm really glad you like the start to this. I'm working in the dark though, seeing as I've never done this before. So to hear that you like it really means a lot to me. As for Jack's charm - well, this is Jack Twist we're talking about! More to come soon. Thanks for reading!

Nice Start

Oh very nice start, I like "James Dean" - that off-putting stone-faced boy. Jack's in for a big surprise! Thank you, Judy
