Opinions on my story so far?

Honestly, you don't have a good steady flow in your writing. I can't distinguish what your story is about. You're writing about one thong then describing something else. Also, ( idk if it is like this in Canada ) but in the U.S. you go to middle school before high school, and elementary before middle school (aka junior high). A few tips, focus on the message you want to convey in this passage, such as, the purple light. When you start off your story, you don't want the reader to know everything, allow then to ask some questions. Also, you do not need to describe your babysitter so in depth, if she an important character we will discover her personality through her speech and what others think of her. I know more about the babysitterthan I do the point of the story. Also, it's great that you want to tell how you and Annah met, but I frankly don't care about what the teacher thought of Annah's moving around so much. If that is a key component ofthe story, play with it a little, try building up to this flashback more and kind of have your mom and Annah's mom talking about you two and then tell how your character and Annah became friends in a brief way. Since Annah is clearly going to be a main character, you have time to describe her and your relationship in the story. Final tip be more descriptive but not overly descriptive, and give some but not all the information, and last but not least be creative but focus your creativity.
