What caused this sudden banning? What happened between the living of Lone's life and the sudden protectiveness of the parents? There is a time gap here that makes little to no sense.
What exactly is that tactic? How did it make her feel when she realized that she was on the same roof her brother died off of?
5'12" is 6 feet. On concrete? I thought that Lone was on dead grass. Are they next to each other?
The clueless expression is the same as what? I was confused by that.
I thought she had her hands in Big Dope's back pockets.
What do you mean by "squirted"? "Squatted, perhaps? But then, how is she twisting her body around the land? What exactly is she doing?
Lots of little nitpicks, but I did like this story.
Like I mentioned earlier, there is a time lapse in between the old and the new parts of the story and I am left hanging in the gulch, wondering what happened. Also, if you are ever to do something quite that dramatic (please don't leave this one how it is, since there is no explaination whatsoever beyond Lone's parents getting busted), try putting a kind of divider to make it clear to the reader that there is going to be a time lapse. Three ellipses (***) usually make it clear.
Anyway, overall, I enjoyed the crisp images you conjure up. You don't spend a lot of time on imagery, but when you do, it rocks some major socks. The whole dark lips and "honeysuckle and bubble gum" just hit me like a ton of bricks. Some excellent characterization through description there.
Very, very nice.
*thumbs up*

I can't wait to read it!!!!!!! Hey.....you sit across from me in class 4th period don't you?
The chapter is longer and another part cometh!!!!
But then, that is a little odd. Perhaps just round it out to either two or three weeks, so all the hyphens aren't necessary.
Furious with who? Lone? And did Lone leave? If so, make that a little more clear. When you say that she was in the back of a pickup, was she driving away with the guy? *is confused*
So what about Lone's parents? I know her mom's out of it, but wouldn't she notice? Maybe not.
This was really short and went by much quicker than the last bit. More please?
And on that note, I found this part before the beginning and I was confused as to why it sounded like a continuation. My advice to your would be to add a number 2 in your title, or write "Cult Classic, Chapter 2" or Part II or whatever you want. Just make it clear that the other "Cult Classic" is the first part and this is a continuation.
Anyway, very nice stuff once more. I really liked the emotion in this bit that was conjured up without really saying anything about it. Very, very nice.

Ditto. Keep writing Darkdove! Your stories and poems have been a plesure to read. See you at lunch and bravo on the good work!
Well if you would have read the first part of the story then it would have made more sense but thanks for your comments and read the begining.
Hello There!
Is this an excerpt of some sort? Well I rather enjoyed it as the emotions were well brought out and the bits of imagery were refreshing.
The font made it rather hard too read. So change the font.
I can't say much about this piece as it was quite short.
Few things though:
-you should capitalize the 'R' in Rook.
Secondly, I as a reader have no idea who Eric is or who Lone is and what's the protagonist's relationship with Lone.
It was all too fast and hurried. There was no in depth characterization whatsoever.
So you might want to work that out, and maybe make this piece a bit longer and give more details.
The sentences flowed very well, so Kudos for that!
I like how rawly written this is. It's pretty honest and to the point. I didn't see much wrong with it. Just one part you forgot to capitalize Rook and then there was an unnecessary comma...nothing big though. I assume there's more to this story since the length is subject to change and in that case good luck writing the rest
