Throwing Stones at Glass Houses

Chapter 6

I hurried along trying to get home fast. I was only a block away when i hit into someone and stumbled backwards. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," he said trying to help me up. "Watch where you're going ass- uh, um s-s-sorry," I said looking up the boy. He extended his hand and I happily took it this time. This guy was absolutely perfect. "My names Vic, Vic Fuentes. Cómo te llamas," he asked me. My stomach tied in a knot as I listened to the words roll off his tongue. I took about a minute to figure out what he said. "Stella, Stella Barakat," I said questioning myself a bit. He smiled, "Tú eres muy bonita." I looked at him, "I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish," I said looking down a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry beautiful. I didn't even realize I was speaking in Spanish. I said you're really pretty," he said. I bit my lip still looking down. "Don't look down," he said putting his finger on my chin and pushing my head up. I released my lip from between my teeth, "I really should be going." "Me to," Vic said sticking his hands in his pockets, "It was nice meeting you." "Bye," I said starting to walk away. "Llámame," he said sticking his number into my sweatshirt pocket. I smiled walking down the pavement towards my house.

Translations:

"Cómo te llamas"= What is your name?
"Tú eres muy bonita"= You are really pretty.
"Llámame"= Call me.

So I originally found this on Mibba, but came over to this site once I saw it wasn't finished on there (and seeing you said you had a profile on here in an author's note), to see if you maybe finished it on here...
You didn't, which is a bummer. :( But you did get one more update up on here in comparison to Mibba, so that's something.
I really like what you have of this story, and bummed that you didn't continue/finish it. Especially after reading this last update; I had a feeling what all was between her and Vic was kind of rigged, but wasn't sure. Now... :O
I'm just wondering why Alex hates her so much. I mean, at first I thought it was because he liked her, so he teased her, but then he just started getting awfully harsh and then like almost took advantage of her... like WTF. I also can't believe Jack would be friends with him after seeing him hit his sister, just because he seemed "alright"... that was a bit weird.
But I think you're a really great writer, other than those missing factors. Some of those you were probably leading into explaining more and just didn't get to, which is really unfortunate.
If you ever find yourself wanting to write for this story again, I will be here to read. I also subscribed to it on Mibba too, although this seems to be the most up-to-date version. But regardless of which platform you post on, I will read. :) I think it's a really intriguing plot line and I would love to see how it all ends.
Hoping this comment will maybe inspire you to continue. If not, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed this and just wanted to show you that people like me are still stumbling across your story. :)
