Oh, sorry. I forgot this was really fiction but I really thought it could be nice in real life. I imagined really beautiful in real life Smile

A good story. Lots to improve on but hey this is why you're giving it to us to critique. I like where this story is going, but descriptions can be improved. Much too short in my opinion.

It's sort of funny and a relief like somebody said above when you mention the twizzler. I have no idea what a twizzler is (i'm australian) so maybe just me... but i do like the bit about the candy on her lips as she's kissing a boy who tastes sweet.

I can't wait for the next bit!

OMG! that was so cute Very Happy, you did an amazing job. I just want to keep reading the rest of it. I really like how you showed that your main character (don't know the name yet) wants to safe her first kiss for someone especial.

Quote:
“I’m sorry, dude,” I said, trying not to cry, “I can’t.”

I felt really bad for Luke, I was able to feel her fear to ruin an amazing friendship, but the way she was dying to kiss him because she really loved him

it was really cute, i really liked it, I have nothing bad to say about it
good job Wink

I thought it was really good, but was surprised of it being their first kiss at eighteen! In 2007! Maybe things are different in Colorado, but in the UK there's no one I know that would not have kissed someone by 18, but that's just an opinion and doesn't detract from the fact that this was a beautiful romantic piece. Congrats!

Okay, so it was really cute! I didn't really like that they were 18...I mean a twizzler? Maybe I am just a hopeless romantic.
There are a few grammar errors but other then that you have something really cute!
You give great details about their surroundings, you made me feel like I was actually there too!

Good Work, it can improve but your writing style is very good!

A few minutes and a couple good laughs later, we stood. There was one Twizzler left. He split the nine intertwined strands, giving four for me, and taking five for himself. We consumed them as the hot Colorado sun started to flee the skies, casting orange light to aspens around us. I ate my candy fast, but Luke was a bit slower.


Personally, I didn't like the word consumed, there. It feels a little too formal.

Otherwise, I loved it. It was really sweet without being cliché. Brilliant.

I really liked this one. The wind effect really put a new 'twist' into the story. I will definitely be reading your 'others'. Very Happy

Hmm, interesting piece. I especially liked how you notice that most people say that their first kiss 'was magical' and 'the most beautiful thing of my life', while she is reluctant to kiss someone too soon and didn't seem to greatly enjoy her first kiss too much. I thought it was great! I really don't have anything that needs changing. Keep it up! 0(o.o)0

The scenery in this story is extrodianary! The dioloude is welll put together, and I love the romance between these two teens!

My only complaint is that I really want to know what you see the characters looking like. If theres a way you could fit and explanation into the story with bits and hints I would love that, but other then that this was captivating! Especailly the cute little twizzler kiss Smile
