I agree with Sarah - I am impressed at the way you turned the "Girl" to "Girls" and from the perspective of the opposite gender. You really nail the tone of voice, and style, along with the insertions of the italicized "protest"/"question" voice of the boy. Nice work.

This piece was in a really similiar tone to the original piece it was inspired by. I found that very impressive. It was also relatable and effortless to read. I enjoyed it.
