my frist story im working on..i dont htink im the best author but ya i try





Prologue

Ding.... Ding.... Ding.......

The school bell rang out across the school grounds. "Finally!!! out of school for good!!!" said aran as he pushed open the double doors of his school to the parking lot. He ran to a black car and opened the door throwing himself in the seat. he was a tall boy with curly black hair that shines in the soft glow of the sun. he had the oddest color of eyes, for which many people made fun of him, Blood red eyes. He was sixteen and had just gotten his temps to drive.
------------------------------------------------------------
While he was driving home, he noticed a small child lying in the road. a young girl, mabey five or six years old. "DAMN" he said as he hit the breaks with a loud Squeal. he got out of the car to see if the girl was alright. as aran was running towrads the girl she vanished and appeard behind him. "Hello" said the girl. "Hey, are you ok? where are your parents. you shouldnt be just sitting in the street you know! you could get killed!!" aran said half panicked. the small girl simply replied "i have no parents. they died when i was 3".
-----------------------------------------------------------
The girl was now sitting in the seat of the black car. Aran asked "so whats your name?" she replied "Amanda....". So do you have a place to live Amanda?" aran said. no reply. He looked over and smiled because what he saw was a small girl with her head down frowning. "are you ok?" he said. "its just..." she shook her head, "nothing".
---------------------------------------------------------
When they got to Aran's house he threw his backpack on the couch and yelled "MOM COME OUT HERE". He sat down at patted the couch as if to say, come on sit down amanda, you dont have to stand. Dust flew into the air. Amanda sat down with a thump right as his mother came into the room. Aran explaind that this girl had no parents. "oh my..." Said his mother.
--------------------------------------------------------
They now stood in the basment and aran was showing amanda air hockey. "see you have to hit the puck with this thing and it moves across the court" aran said calmly as if everything upset amanda. "k" said amanda wiping of tears from her face. just then the wall exploded in a fire. Aran ran over to amanda and rushed her upstairs. "stay here!! i have to go put the flames out and check out the wall!!". He ran back down and grabbed a bucket, ran to the bathroom and filled it with water. He dumped it on the flames and the went out with a sizziling sound. Like when you fry bacon on a pan.
------------------------------------------------------

Without delving into the content, your story contains a lot of technical errors, especially in capitalization and punctuation. I'm not one of those literary Nazis who say you should never use exclamation points, but I think three of them in a row (!!!) is overdoing it a bit.

It might help you to refer to the The Elements of Style. This is still the definitive set of guidelines for writers.

I think it was a little too fast paced as if you were telling the story in a conversation. I also think the sentences in places are too short but this is just my opinion. It was interesting though and the girls seems creepy.
