Um, hi. I know that the title says Chapter 16, but it really is not. I am sorry that I tricked you into reading this horrible note, but I am not going to be updating for a while. I am very aware that I have disappeared for six months. My somewhat lame reason is because a certain relative of mine who lives with me. That person believes because of our close relation, I am that person's "best friend" and that we tell each other everything. Well, we all know that even best friends have secrets, right? Well, not this relative. The said person also believes in the cultural tradition of "study hard, make good friends approved by me, and no writing and publishing it online." So, because of that, I barely have any time to update because I am so busy with all of these things I never wanted in the first place that is supposed to be helpful signed up by the relative. I am not saying which relative because I do not want to risk someone reading this and reporting it to that person, in which I would be officially grounded from my own laptop.

In addition, I was able to sneak on my phone the other day to reread my story. After going through all the chapters, I have made a realization: my story sucks and sounds like crud. We are talking about a story I wrote back in sixth grade and was still ignorant on the rules of how good writing should be done. Henceforth, it is in great need of revision.

I, however, do have an idea.

Since I just started school, which requires me to use the laptop a lot, I might be able to sneak in some revision time, which may eventually lead to actually updating this story. Like now, I am writing this while printing a copy of a short story we are studying in English. You will be able to tell it has changed if there is no author's note in the beginning. I know it does not sound like much, but in the meantime, this is all I can do within my limits.

Here is another thing: I am not putting up any more review goals. It was an idea I thought would be nice but I eventually remembered after I had stopped updating how demanding the other authors who want reviews sounded like: a kid demanding TLC when they already have enough. Definitely not who I am or want to be presented as. In other words, I am not expecting you to write me reviews. It would still be nice to get some feedback, encouragement, and some flames, but I am not expecting you to do it to reach a certain goal.

This note will be removed once the actual Chapter 16 is written. Again, I apologize profusely for tricking you into thinking this is an actual chapter, but I know how annoying it is when you receive a notification and the chapter is called AN or something similar. I really want you guys to read this and know that it is beyond my power to try updating without you guys thinking that I am a witch with a b. Until then, see ya!

PS If you want, go ahead and flame me about this crappy note in the reviews. I deserve it for being a horrible writer.
