No problem, and I appreciate the critique-to-be!

Oh, it is! *dies of boredom* The teacher doesn't explain anything from the book. If we ask, she gets curt and rude. It's so much fun... not! How complicated can anyone make giving tests & doing assessments??? XD

Hey! You had a good point about the window; in my mind, I'm picturing Ruby and Gwen outside the coffeeshop, but near a big window of the shop. I should explain that.
And I thought that talking about Gwen's food preferences would give away the ending too soon. In my head, I was leaving some clues, but nothing too obvious!
I didn't even think about whether the frog was duping her! I might add that to Gwen's thoughts.
Thanks so much for the critique! You gave me a lot to think about!

Thanks for reading my stuff! I really appreciate it
I have to admit, I admire your ability to write poetry! I have been trying to write poetry, but it's an uphill struggle for me. I may just stick to short stories for now

Thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked the poem.

OH, I loved your poem "It Was One of Those Days"! It sparked my attention! I hope to read more of your stuff as you some day may read mine!

Thank you very much for your input and encouragement

your favorite tv shows are exactly mine, however i think i would replace modern marvels with southpark...

peace
