Next chapter please, I'm interested to see if where you are going with this is where I think you are. Good structure, interesting scenario. Well put together and you build good characters.

Hey it's so good to hear from you again! I thought this story might have been abandoned but then I got the update notification and it made me so happy! I hope you've been keeping well?
The new teacher is so suspicious I find it hilarious that she wears red. As demonstrated in the basket scene, it makes her very noticeable, though that's probably the point since she seems like some sort of government agent. Stay hidden by standing out.

I am so glad you haven't forgotten this. I do love the story line and what seems to be a conspiracy going on. Please keep writing and stay safe, you and yours.
Thank you,

Despite the period of being stuck, I'm just glad to see you are writing again. The two stories that I have read of yours are amazing and very intriguing. Can't wait to see more from you again!

I hope that updating it in November of '17 means you haven't completely abandoned this.
Still have problems with your writing New York City and Central Park (that really doesn't have any large wild animals in it, BTW.) I don't think there is any parking around it to speak of, after all, NYC is just one big moving parking lot... most people in the city don't own cars unless they can also pay "rent" for a parking space, that can cost as much as some apartments. There is a zoo, but I'm sure there would be an even bigger uproar if those animals went missing. wiki/Central_Park I get that you want her to live in a large city, but there are lots of large cities in the U.S. that aren't quite as insanely large as New York City. No, I don't live in New York City, or New York state, or even New Jersey - though I was born there. And another thing, second semester in New York City would be COLD. REALLY COLD. Maybe even snow cold... There certainly wouldn't be any activities like picnics or concerts in the park - people ice skate in the winter, yeah, there are 2 ice rinks in the park, one's a year round link somewhere, but other converts to an outdoor swimming pool.
I don't know where you live, but just some simple research should've been able to take care of these errors.
Still, I was hoping this was going to be finished... what can I say, I find the concept enjoyable, I'm guessing that G'ten takes Kelly back to Pern to impress a gold dragon...

I may be mistaken, but I believe most New York City high schools have numbers not names. I am not mistaken that they don't have all the grades in one school. When you have graduation classes in the high hundreds to thousands, you don't have that luxury. In fact, I grew up in Austin Texas, our schools do have names, but they don't have all the grades. Pre-K to 5th, 6th-8th and 9th-12th is standard now, it was 1st-6th, 7th-9th and 10th-12th back in the dark ages when I was in school.
My only other... gripe is when she starts the interview by saying that the patient came in "brought in by the cops." One would hope that she was paying attention by the time the boring teacher (and I had my fair share of those, let me assure you) where he would've handed out a paper with the proper way to start this interview, either by the police or even more formally like "brought in by the New York City Police Force."
However, all the rest aside, after I got past those things at the beginning of the story, I was really interested. Until the "cops" use threw me out of the story at the end.
Now, I was in a "Misfit" group of friends in high school, although more so when I left the Roman Catholic high school and returned to the public schools my senior year. Didn't exactly have a lot of friends at the RC school either, but I had my sf books and horseback riding and a little group of friends there too, just not quite such a misfit group. I didn't have a boy friend, none of my friends had boy friends until college.

This is a really interesting story so far. The writing is tad bit rough in the first 3 chapters and yet I feel it works remarkably well for the personality of the main me, Kelly feeling like she doesnt really belong is reflected in the almost hestitant style of writing in the early chapters. But then she meets G'ten and the story gains confidence. The chapters are longer and have more detail to them and Kelly has gained a spark of life that I feel will grow into a mighty flame the more she lets her curiousity grow and learns of Pern and its wonders!
I do hope that you have plans to continue writing as I would very much like to find out whether Kelly will go to Pern with G'ten.
