Quite an interesting piece.
Full of different ways to head with this.
Didn't find any mistakes but did find it interesting.
I read the other chapter first so had to catch up

Interesting story. Cody's behavior when Matt beat him to the house was unexpected. Seems like Matt had been trying to be nice to him at school, and now Cody is quick to lash out. Some kids are like that. It is the guardian who takes care of disciplining Cody. Maybe that's Cody's problem--having the guardian look after him. This portion didn't cover the whole story of Cody, but having a guardian probably isn't something that a boy would like very much. Great work. judi

A great read it started off like the bike race slowly building to the finish can't wait to hear more. I well remember my childhood and falling out with best friends over silly things I am sure things will be okay I look forward to finding out.

There's enough clues in this story to say that Cody's background is to become a major feature in the story going forward. This is really well written, Brett, with excellent background information, exciting action sequences, and good dialogue driving the narrative forward. I also thought it was pretty accurate in its description of how boys interact and how losing can lead to conflict. There's a good moral tale going on with the father's reaction to the fight, but I suspect that's mere background noise compared to what's going to happen between these two in future. Good story.
