Question: Help me fix this story please!?
this is my friends story i fixed it up as best i could but its still not perfect you know!.!.!.!.well tell my what i can do please!.!.!.if theres anything

(Day 1) I first met him two years ago at a party!. I went with two of my friends but they wound up ditching me earlier to talk to someone else, predictable stuff!. He was beyond perfection!. I knew I would never see anyone like him again!. His hair was a little dark but blonde, it hung a little in his pale blue eyes, his jaw wasn’t quite squared of yet, he was a little taller then me, his lips were full, but not too big, I watched him open his mouth and noticed his teeth were perfect, straight and the whitest white I had ever seen, he was slim but not too slim, he looked around fifteen or sixteen, he was perfect!. Why had I not seen him before!?
He had been standing by the wall by himself ,occasionally someone would walk by and say something to him but no one stayed long enough for a real conversation!. Of course I had to talk to him!.
“Hi, what’s your name!?” I crocked on the “your” part and hoped he wouldn’t notice!. “I’m ummm…“ What was wrong with me I couldn’t even remember my name!? “…!.Charity!.” I looked at him and smiled sheepishly!. I knew that once again I had made a complete fool of myself, I always seemed to do that when talking to guys!. I tilted my head down not wanting to meet his gaze and waited for his answer!.
“Oh, well that’s a cool name, I’m Cade!.” he replied!.
I looked up and he was still looking at me, he looked at me like he was interested in what I had to say, I couldn’t leave now, he was expecting me to say something else!.
“Um, so are you from around here!?” I asked!. I felt my cheeks flash hot red, and my head titled down again!.
“No!. I’m from Germany, just moved here two weeks ago!.” I looked up for a brief second and I met his gaze, then I quickly looked down again!.
“Cool!.” I mumbled!. I could feel my cheeks getting warmer by the minute!. “So what do you think of it here so far!?”
“I think its awesome, I love it!.” as he said this he smiled!. I knew I wouldn’t be able to talk at all if I kept the conversation going so I ended the conversation with the first thing I could think of,, and fast!.
“Well see you later!.” I didn’t wait for an answer, I started walking back to where I came from, he said his next words softly, but I still heard him loud and clear!. And I could feel his gaze on my back!.
“ Bye Charity”
I walked home soon after and when I went to bed all I could think of was him!. His eyes, his smile, Even when I was able to sleep my dream was of him, was I going crazy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The problem is that you have many complex, compound, run-on sentences!. Most places where you use a comma should be a period!.

Example:
"I watched him open his mouth and noticed his teeth were perfect, straight and the whitest white I had ever seen, he was slim but not too slim, he looked around fifteen or sixteen, he was perfect!."

Should be:
"I watched him open his mouth!. I noticed his teeth were perfect, straight and the whitest white I had ever seen!. He was slim, but not too slim!. He looked around fifteen or sixteen and he was perfect "!.

Remember a sentence should have one subject and a verb or two unless you want to connect close ideas with "and"!. If you have more than one subject, you have more than one sentence!.

In dialogue, your quote needs a comma, as in - "Cool," I mumbled!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

" 'Well see you later!.' I didn’t wait for an answer"

If he were to say something back, it would be more of a responce, because you can't give an answer without a question!.

And this story doesn't seem to be going anywhere!. It's just you telling about a guy you talked to!. It lacks a point!. No character develpment, no plot, no (interesting) conflict!.

No offence, but this is more of a diary entry then a story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
