Several thoughts:

Ah your so cute! You really like the shipping thing! I don't know what to call the romances... I'm not sure I trust Oscar's romance with Jake. There seems something manipulative about it as well. I'm not sure whether he had the realization that he could manipulate Jake by pretending to be gay, or that he actually was gay..........

I'm enjoying the character interactions. I'm falling for Milo's bad boy/inside sensitive appeal. I used to hate him but now he's won me over. Very nice character development. And this whole chapter I just kept thinking "Jake is so cute!" and wanting to squeeze his cheeks.

I do sometimes forget the actual plotline of this story. But I guess at the end we'll discover what's up with reclassification, and there will be fun contests along the way!
