Hey Soph~~Found you and your story sort of randomly while surfing WP. I like where your going with "Enamoured." It's catchy and should resonate well with the teen readership your aiming for I suggest you get it into TeenFic Clubs if it's not already there top gain traffic. As a writer of this genre and romance and chickLit, I have analysed the WP audience and come to a few conclusions about our readers. As you are probably aware some 90% of the fiction on here is both written and read by females--mostly young  (14-35). It's important to note also that most of these readers, an estimated 89%, read their fiction while in transit or home alone on hand-held devices (smartphones or tablets). This requires of thewriter to compose short, intense chapters, serialized in a forma that leaves them haning at the end of each to pick it up religiously the next time around in their behavioral cycle. You seem to be doing this pretty well so far and have an impeccable textural style (your English teacher should be proud).
          
          For my tastes, however, (maybe because I'm in my mid-twenties and have the experience it usually dictates), I would like to see a little more sexual tension in your ensuing chapters--teetering on and sometimes dipping into the sexxual--either when your protagonist is with significant company, or boldly alone. Let's not forget that even younger teens are sexting these days and the incidence of females (girls included) of viewing porn has risen significantly. Your hormonal little beauties are waiting for some fresh meat to be thrown at them now and then to keep them turning your pages. As an example of how this works, allow me to send you a short story of mine that really was an experiment ,to see the parameters of the readers wants and expectations.
          
          Check out the story for your edification--"Part 4" was given a "R-Private" rating .
