Wonderful second chapter! I can see how some people felt the first chapter being a little slow comparatively, but I really liked this perspective from Cordelia. We can also definitely see the thing for Cadmus, I wonder why she thinks she can't have him shes the "it" girl she was described to be by Tobias? Or is he just Too-biased haha..... I'll walk myself out.

Lovely work <3

Omg the Tobias joke I can’t🤚🏻

Literally kicking my feet right now.

Thank you so much for reading it. As for why she can’t have him… you’ll get more about that later. Kind of wanted to keep you wondering.

And I’m glad you like her perspective. She’s one of my favorites to write from.

Tysm again. Can’t wait to see more of your work Artiranth!

I just finished reading the second chapter, and I had to tell you—I loved it. It literally took me back to when I was younger, sitting in a quiet corner with a novel, completely lost in the story. I found myself placing me right next to the characters, like I was part of the scene. So beautifully written.

Do not make me cry Shanna!

Omg this was so nice to hear. I’m so glad that you liked it. I just have to ask: who is your favorite character?!

I’ve been keeping this story close to me for such a long time and hearing people rave about it is just so heartwarming. I can’t wait for you to see what happens next… I think you’ll be like “whattttt??”

The next part comes out on Friday. I can’t wait to hear more about your story as well.

And poise is the armor I wear best. - That almost undid me! It explains Cordelia in 8 words. Beauty, Brains, Polish and Superiority. Cordelia walks through the room and all eyes can't help but turn in her direction. I am glad you didn't cut this chapter - it definitely allows her to shine. She is a diamond with many facets and I can't wait to see more of her brilliance! Well done!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the story, but most importantly, I'm glad you're liking the characters. I think characters are what truly bring a story to life, and Cordelia is definitely one that I'm proud of. Thank you again for reading--can't wait to see more from you!

You were not messing around when you said Cordelia is the mother of the group! Girl, I feel you. She’s great. Her beauty, the obvious weight of responsibility on her shoulders, how she cares about her friends, her deep (and poetic) crush on Cadmus, the strained relationship with her mother, her rich inner world… I like her POV a lot. Have a feeling she’ll be the kind of FC who will both frustrate me and break my heart.

I love the boys honestly. All three so different, but all so very appealing. I don’t discriminate, I’ll have them all. Call me greedy, don’t care!

Glad you didn’t cut the chapter.

Tysm Amelia! You seem to have gotten the perfect sense of Cordelia’s character!

The boys are totally grinning right now😂

Okay, and beaux might be whispering: “See, Deli? I told you people still like me even when I’m not as stuck up as youuuu.”

I totally enjoyed it and Beaux is definitely my favourite character haha eventho you mentioned the competition over him is tough. I don't mind joining the train . I love how detailed you are in your write up. It makes it easy to keep up and enjoy reading .

Ps: that picture of Tobias is so hot x 🤍

Omg that’s so cool! Usually I get a lot of Tobias’s regarding people’s favorite character. I’m so glad you like beaux. His part in this story is heartwarming, I think.

And the picture of Tobias is totally hot…😊🤭 I think his eyes are a bit more brown, but it’s pretty close to how I picture him in my mind

I just love how carefree Beaux is 😅

And that picture of Tobias, his chiseled face and those brownish eyes are a killer. You visualized his image with his character so well .

I enjoyed this chapter, as we got to have Deli's point of view ! I already like her, as I can see that she must be carrying a lot of responsibilities on her back. But she seems to be quite emotional on the inside, so I'm eager to see more of her !

As for Beaux, he's so nonchalant I like that about him, even though his behaviour annoys me as well 'cause I can see it affects Cordelia. Also, as a Frenchie I just love that name ahah !

I'm so excited to be on Friday and witness the events that'll take place in the bathrooms !
