hi petals!
it's a good story bec of the various tensions you've set up - it carries me through and keeps me reading, looking for movement. it's the plot that works for me, even though there are small inconsistencies - if you want, i can re-read and try to find them again to put them in a review for you, but if you'd rather i didn't, that's cool.
about the chapters being short - well, i'm not sure that longer chapters are really a good idea. keeping it short makes you dispense with trivial things and cut right to the heart of things. it's a good exercise for you to figure out what your own chapter is really about and how it fits into the whole picture. you could always flesh it out later if you really think that's necessary, but personally i don't, and i'm all for you keeping it tight - i'm not suggesting that you take what should be a longer chapter and chop it up gratuitously, but rather that you really find the very center of the one chapter and get rid of the extra.
oh, i know i'm not explaining myself well here, sorry.
anyway, in keeping with how i feel about short chapters and such, my biggest criticism is that you're explaining too much and taking too much time to do it. as one of your readers, i really don't need to have it all written out for me, and i think your other readers are like me in this: i have a creative enough imagination to fill in the blanks myself. you can establish character without so much explanation! and if you can show it without explaining it, then the explanation will make the "showing" of it very anti-climactic. or if you can't show it, then it's not an essential part of the plot so don't even bother writing it. just keep it in your head for you ...
ah, one minor point (though i haven't gone through the reviews to see if someone else commented on this - if so, just ignore this): "telekinesis" is moving things with your mind, hence its roots in the word "kinesis" or "kinetics" (think "kiesiology") - a "telepath" is someone who reads minds through "telepathy" (think "sympathetic" or "empath")
seriously, i am looking forward to reading more and i really, really encourage you to keep up with it!
be well,
bint

I'm liking this story more and more. I was scared when you called it Romeo and Juliet with a twist, but then I read the rest of the sentence. I hate that play. Terribly. I like Blake a lot. I'm going to check out Say Hi to Your Mom right now. :)
