I know the beginning is slow but keep reading cause it gets better.

Chapter one

I stared up at the Eiffel Tower, Squinting my eyes to block out the sun. I was in France seeing all of the wonderful things I've always wanted to.
My right hand was on my chin and my left was on my hip. I was looking quizzically at the tower when I felt someone staring at me. Jacob. God, I loved him, though I tried to push the annoyance away. Finally he broke through, "Aisha" he said when I rolled my eyes to look at him. My name was Carnation but he says he thinks of the, shion, sound so he calls me Aisha.
"Can i help you?" I asked, making it clear that he was interrupting my thoughts. (He knew I hated it when he did that.)
"Well i thought it would be nice if you knew that we have to go catch out plane now." He said. I sighed at the simple fact that it was a good enough reason for me to acually leave.
I didn't want to leave yet. There was something special here. But I just had to keep telling myself that if i needed something it would come up in my life and i would maracualusly end up back here with a great longing to search. I kew it was true but something inside me told me that there was a part of my theory, a big one, that was wrong.


Flying in coach wasnt nearly as good as flying first class but it got the job done. Jacob was in the sear next to me with his loustious hair and deep blue-green eyes. Oh, how I wanted to kiss him. And yeah, that's another thing, he's not my boyfirend he's my best friend. He didn't love me the way I loved him. "Why are you staring at me? Do i have something on my face?" Crap, he saw me.
"Um... I mean....I just.... Never mind." I stammered. I was usually so good with words and making up lies. But with Jacob? No, it was different.
He was looking at me like he knew that conversation wasnt over yet. Shoot, he was probaly right.
I summond a flight attendant. She was very pretty, and Jacob was practically drooling on himself.
"Jake!" (I never called him Jacob) His head snapped bakc and he smiled at me like he did nothing wrong.
The flight attendant, Rachel, said, "How can i help ya'll?"
"Gengerale" I said.
" Coke" Jake said looking tired.
How can i get rid of her without hurting or being mean to her? I had to get her to be mean to me.
"Coming right up." she said with a smile on her perfect face.
"Rachel, pleas come to the front of the plan. I need to have a word with you." said a voice on the intercom. Her milky white eyes looked down at me like she had read my mind. A small evil voice came into my head and said, They will never beleive you. You don have that kind of power yet.,then i had a giant headace.
i looked around the plane to see if anyone else heard it. All i saw was Rachels curls bounce on the back of her head as she walked down the isle. She stopped and turned around, for a moment her eyes were closed but when she opened them, they werent white anymore. They were blood red and looking straight at me.
Then all of the sudden i was asleep hoping i had dreamed that but knowing i hadnt.
 
its not that you started out to slow its u started to FASSST!!!! i barley understand the characters you need to add more detail in why shes at france whos jacob who u r and stuff like that and when you bring in a new character add detail in which they look.
 
It's not very good. First, you dump us in a situation with no other info about the characters. This is fine, but the scene you dump us in is boring, and doesn't really explain to us who the characters are. Also, you seem to have to contradicting statements. You say Aisha loves Jacob, but then you show us that Aisha hates him. The grammar is pretty bad too,a swell as the spelling. Get a beta reader or something. For example "Jacob was in the sear next to..." what the f is a sear? Should be seat. You seem to show and not explain. Also, why do they call for a flight attendant, and how do they know her name? Also, the flight attendant seems to be beautiful to be a flight attendant. Just saying. She could prob be a model or something. And why do you have to get rid of the flight attendant? Many more issues as well, don't feel like typing anymore.
 
Not bad.
You are right though, it does start off slow. But at the end you got my interest and I wanted to read more. You're off at a good start, keep going. I look forward to any more help you may need with this story. It sounds like it could be really good.

Good luck!
 
13? That's a nice young age! The sooner you start to write the longer you have to improve. Don't let the rejections of certain individuals or companies get you down. I love the storyline and can't wait to see where it goes. The main thing is to check your grammer and spelling. (Don't worry I think every author has trouble with this. I know if I didn't open spellcheck every two minutes I would have like a gazillion mistakes :) So don't worry about it right now focus on the story. The grammer and spelling comes with editing...but it does come...I know groan right?) Anyway I really really like this and I know that the more you work on it the better it will become. Trust me when I say that in four years your entire storyline might change ( I know mine did!) So good luck and keep writing !

GOD Bless!
