The background for Greg really hit home for me; I was just a little bit younger than Greg when my parents were fighting the custody battle and at times it could be the loneliest feeling in the world. It certainly shines some light on the character that Greg becomes during his time at Bullsworth, which only excites me more to see how his story will play out in the long run for him!

This piece demonstrates a great characterization of Greg, both in that he's overcoming the soreness of his past, but also in his acceptance of Parker's invitation. There were a million reasons for Greg to turn Parker's invitation down, but he took the chance on good faith. I think the actions speak volumes in terms of character growth here. ( :

That said, I also love your characterization of both Parker and his family. We don't know a whole lot about Parker's background, but you've managed to breathe life right into his home. I love that Parker's so genuine and that his family, despite being wealthy, accept Greg into their home without question.

I can't wait to read more about Greg - and I certainly hope that you explore this possibility for a friendship further!
