You moved the story along well with this installment. The length is great. You say this is not about football, I wonder, the story is frames with high school football.

She seems to keep bumping heads with Frost, but it seems Frost has a son that applied for Katherine's position, but of course Katherine was chosen. I love the fact that stories have wonderful, feisty females, and nice, male males in them, but amicable ones. This is off to a great start, setting a delectable scene for the story, excellent writing Barbara, well done, blessings Roy
Typo , his son partied (t)his way 2: Katherine glanced at (the) lady

Gabriel is very funny! Always 'gently' pushing his way into things and also appearing right where Katherine is. And he could smell the coffee all the way down the hall? That's hilarious! Man, what is Mr. Frost's problem? First, he insults her in front of the entire staff, then doesn't even want to give her her schedule? I'm hoping he is either fired or leaves for a very very long vacation. And why is Katherine being called to the office? I don't think she's in trouble, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with Gabriel. Or maybe Jordon, I don't know I'll have to osee in part 3!

I noticed one error: ()Department level meetings will begin promptly at 12:45. Have a nice lunch." (you forgot the apostrephes at the beginning:)

This is a well-crafted chapter to your book. In particular how people react to events is very believable. Indeed, the characters are fleshing out nicely now. My only criticism would be that nothing interesting happens here. Thus, you are at risk of losing your readers' attention.

    LOL This is only part of the chapter, there is plenty of action in the next part, I promise. Sometimes one needs to build up to it. Thank you.

    OK I will be patient. I find this serving chapters in little bite sized chunks (as Sarkems calls them) a bit confusing.

    I agree but on FS nobody will read if you post long chapters, they are only in for the quick reads and the money. I hate to say it but it's the truth.

    that's why Sarkems started such a wonderful new club. (first post was a story of mimimun 1500 words)

What a great, deeply personal chapter. Frost is just that! Very Frosty! Well done looking forward to where this is going. No spags. Both of those planned titles are fine with me.

A well written chapter. Do you think a teenage boy, football player, new in school would really suggest eating lunch with his teacher mom in front of everyone?

notes:

"I don't think you did anything [accept] get this job.

    Thank you for the catch. I can't believe I did that. It was a stupid mistake. Sometimes I worry about my brain. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi Barbara, another fine chapter and it's very well written. I can see the intrigue is starting to build. Now what?

    I added that pesky little word. I tend to read as if they are there, because they're supposed to be there. Thank you for the kind review and the catch.

I really want to punch that creep. You chose a great name for him, Frost! I'm guessing Katherine is about to be asked to do the girls cross running. That will stir things up again with old Frosty. I'm glad he's the only idiot on the staff, but if he carries on being like that, I'd have the head teacher fire him, or she could sue him?? Hmm. This is really getting to me, Barb. Love the story! Well done. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you for the kind review. In the next post Frost is really horrible.

    I hope she's allowed to thump him!
