Haven't a clue how the rating works on Ficwas, since the chapters are rated at two or three and the whole story at five. Oh, well. Like you need more points anyway.
This story rings so true because it hinges on what usually happens in Real Life...nothing turns out the way you though it would when you were 17, snd were sure you knew everything about life.
As usual, the quality of your English is pretty impeccible, but I picked u on several places where your opening quotation mark ("), or the closing one, is missing. About the only critique I can offer you is to go back and check for missing punctuation.
Hopefully this bunny is pregnant with a few more future chapters.
