This has got to be the funniest chapter I've read from you in a long time (I'm glad that you decided to have this be your light-hearted story amongst all your depressing ones =D). And I gotta say that I love the songs you chose for this chapter!
Can't wait to find out how "tomorrow's" dinner turns out!

Aww... now I have to wait to read more.
But seriously, I thought I was going to pull a muscle or something from laughing so hard, especially around the time when the dad was asking Spencer about being emo and kissing boys. Okay, just writing that last sentence sent me into another fit of giggles. I could not even imagine my dad asking something like that. I don't think my dad even knows what emo is. Actually, I'm not 100 percent sure that I even know what emo is (slight exaggeration... but I have a general idea).
Well, I hope there is more to this soon, but no pressure! Thanks for writing! It was a great fun read, and I look forward to the next installment!

I love how Spencer and Bethany were talking about Willa when she was sitting right there, but Willa seemed completely oblivious as to what exactly they were talking about. And she made that guy cry? Oh, hilarious! Wait, I hope that wasn't a personal experience or anything. But don't tell me if it was. I don't need to know.

You might be a literary genius. So when I started this chapter and Willa was walking around the fountain, I thought to myself, "Hey, Self, I bet that Willa is going to feel guilty for pushing him in the fountain, so she will 'make up for it' by jumping into the fountain herself." Of course that didn't happen (nothing I think ever actually happens, only on rare occasions). But then by the end of the chapter, I had forgotten all about the fountain incident, which completely threw me off when Spencer pushed Willa in! It was genius, I tell you! Distract the reader with some huge event, then bring them back to the original concept with one casual shove. This chapter was great.
Oh! And I LOVE that move guys do when they rub the backs of their necks. It's so bashful and so CUTE! I had to take note when Spencer did that in this chapter. Such a minor thing, but it makes a huge difference in guy likability in my book. Well done!

Talk about a creepy moment in the woods there. And I was completely confused (in a good way) about what he was talking about. I thought that he was talking about Willa when he was going on about liking a girl who wouldn't like him back, but he added that thing about it being for two years. And then he said that he'd only known Willa since the beginning of the school year. Is this a trick? Was he really not talking about her, or was he being technical in that he's only KNOWN her for the school year but he's had a crush on her for two years? I love it when stuff makes me second guess myself and over-analyze situations.

I was so excited to see this story updated! I hope that Willa and Spencer get better soon though (like health-wise) because it is always more fun when they can actually speak loud enough to banter. And maybe Willa will walk on Spencer changing or something *hint hint* :)
Great chapter, can't wait for more!

Whoa! I almost had a nervous breakdown from this chapter, especially that ending! Well, well-written, I must say. AND embarrassing! And it's fun to embarrass our characters like that. And I got the TMI nausea feeling also when Ana was sharing, um, stuff with Willa.
I like how Willa is a bit "impulsive" also.. which seems to be a good match for Spencer... hm.. hehehe.
Excellent work!

Ehh.. yeah, this was kind of an explanation chapter. I actually don't mind not knowing (apologize to your English teacher about my use of double negatives in that sentence) about physical appearance and clothing. I always find it more interesting when it's thrown into the narrative or dialogue casually. Like - "Nice bed head, loser," I said, noticing the way his hair stuck up in all directions in the back, even though his haircut wasn't meant to do that. Only written better and not in four seconds. Haha. Wait, who am I to talk? I have done the descripto paragraphs before. And yes, I put descripto on purpose. I have no idea why, but that sounds like such an awesome word.
Can't wait to see what's up with Bethany. I think I am liking her already!

Okay, I absolutely LOVED the part where Spencer and the mother were both talking to Willa at the same time! That was classic. It seems like I can sit around in quiet all day long, and then the moment I will start listening to something (or talking to someone), someone (else) wants to talk to me, and it drives me crazy! That might be one of my pet peeves in life actually, having too much auditory stimulation at once. Actually, I can't understand how so many people can listen to music while they are writing... I would probably have a panic attack if I tried to do that.
Wow, this was a relatively long review for me. I forgot to say that I loved the mom... so clueless... only hearing what she wants to hear. Oh, how I miss my mommy doing things like that to me... Haha! Great chapter, by the way!

This chapter was hilarious! "I hope you cough up blood!" Am I a bit sadistic for thinking that was so funny? I love Willa's character because (as terrible as this may sound) she actually says a lot of stuff that I think but am too nice to say! Oh, if only I had the nerve to come out and tell people what I really think of them.
And what's up with the whole therapist is not as difficult as the doctor? I've been through that, and it sucks. Why am I going on about this? What I really wanted to say is that I really like this story already!

Whoo! I finally started another of your stories! And, Oh, I do love me some stories about ladies who hate guys and then some craziness comes out of it (okay, I can't actually think of any stories with specifically that layout, but I still like it when characters hate each other in the beginning). This looks like it could be off to a good start! Whoo!

Can i tell you how happy I am that I dont have to gorge myself on cow to prove that I'm a woman? OMG that was hilarious and Spencer is my knight in tattooed armour. I love him and I actually love Willa too. I think your female leads are the only ones I've ever really loved. They're just awesome.
