Is my story ok? please tell me! i want to know!?

Rate my story and tell me if its good:

It was a normal day for Anne and Kelly, who were laying about in Kelly bedroom, rather bored, for they had nothing to do. They had offered to clean up the neighbor-

hood, but their mothers had refused, seeing the hot weath-

er was rather....well, hot. Considering anything besides going outside, their list was rather short. ?What can we do??cried Kelly. ?Could we IM Jane, Matt , Sandy, and

Lina at the same time? That would be fun.?suggested A-

nne. kay ?said Kelly, getting up. ?No need.?said a

voice behind them. They turned around, to find Sandy,

Jane, Matt, and Lina waiting for them. Kelly groaned loudly?she really wanted to IM them, not meet them.

?Hey. What up??asked Sandy, a tall, broad shouldered,

blond haired guy, who was the founder of six kids

so-called roup? They never even met during the school year. Now, seeing it was summer, they met each other frequently, every other day. othing. You??replied Anne. e were goin?to that woods behind Rain Orchids.?said Lina. hey?she pointed to the guys--- ?claim there is a haunted house. Smack in the middle of the woods. A haunted house. In the woods he said, exclaiming it loudly. ?Yeah, right, we believe you, youe down right we do,?said Kelly, though she looked like she was interested. ?Hmmm... there was something, uh, never mind.?said Jane, who was really thoughtful and curious about things like that. ?No, go on We wanna listen, don we?aid Kelly quickly. There were murmurs and nods of agreement. ell, if you want to know, there was a house

owned by a business tycoon in the woods behind Rain Orchids, a man. He was a millionaire, and people would

die to meet him. He was really generous; he practically

owned Rain Orchids, he did donate a lot of money, and about anyone he met that seemed poor, he would give billions of dollars away to them,?Jane filled them in. ow.He sounds amazing But why would he live in the woods?A great man like him??asked Anne. bet for secrecy,aid Matt. He also was a broad shouldered, tall guy, but with brown colored hair and green eyes, unlike Sandy, who had blue eyes. eah, I guess. He wouldn want to be interviewed by The Journal everyday, now would he??said Lina. She was a beautiful girl with sleek, shiny brown hair up to her waist. She also had blue eyes

and a fair skin complexion. ?Well, that makes sense, but, two things: What was his name, and was The Journal even established than??asked Kelly, Lina twin; naturally,

she looked just like Lina, only with blond hair and glasses.

ell, I think his name was Wayne Lenmore, and yes, The Journal was established then. Oh yeah, it was a long time ago, out the 1970s.?finished Jane, who was a tall, blue eyed girl with brown curly hair. hen....um, lets GO Come on ?exclaimed Kelly, who was eager to find out about this aunted house? Everyone knew what she was

talking about, so they all hurried to Rain Orchids. Once there, they all asked Ms. Percidal about a man known to

live in the woods. Ms. Percidal was a thin, tall woman

with brown hair usually tied up in a ponytail. She babbled:

es, there was a man, once, a long time ago, who was very generous indeed. He helped this old apple orchid a lot; I did him a bit of a favor: he wanted those woods, and I sold them to him. Never seen him after that, though, you think he would come back tovisit ?said Ms. Percidal. ut was his name Wayne Lenmore??asked Anne. ?I believe so,?said Ms. Percidal.ere those woods yours??asked Sandy. He wore an eager expression like the rest. es. They were mine, sold to me by an young man, around the age of 20. He looked quite happy to get rid of the land.?replied Ms. Percidal.id Mr. Lenmore have a house in the woods??asked Matt. ?Not that I know of,?asked Ms. Percidal. After thanking Ms. Percidal, the group went to go in the woods.ell I think the house is haunted, don care what you five think.?said Lina, the minute they got out of the orchid. ell, I sure don. It all a bunch of nonsense, if you ask me,?said Sandy. ell, no one is asking you, so you can keep your thoughts to your self,?snapped Lina.

oooh, look, there a house Over there See it??said Jane. here??were the answers to Jane question. They

all ran to the area Jane indicated. ee? Told you Bet it

Wayne Lenmore...spooky,?she said, after glancing at it. It was at least seven stories high, with windows that were

broken and cracked and had shutters that were brown and the paint was peeling off. The overall house was a brown,

tinge and was rather black, but the paint, like the shutters, was peeling. The little grass around the house was brown and murky, making it look like a real haunted house. ell...should we go in??asked Matt. aybe.....or not.?

said Kelly. ome on Wel take a look, come out. Wel

knock first,?he added, after seeing the expression on Jane face, who was frowning slightly. kay...?she agreed, looking weary. They all approached the house, and Matt knocked. RAP. RAP. RAP. He knocked. There was a slight sound, from the depths of the woods, and all was sil-

ent. ell, looks like Wayne isn home. Lets go in,?said Sandy. h, I don think?started Kelly. ets go,?said Matt in a firm voice. They entered, and the inside of the

house was ruined; the house had white walls, but with pe-

eling paint. The chairs and couches were green and fancy looking, but with moth-eaten fabric covered over the rotti-

ing wood shaped for the couch. There were stairs, but they

were black and looked like they were once burned. The house felt rather cold and misty; the only light came from the blazing sun outside. his is...well, kind of??reepy, yeah,?finished Kelly for Lina. TAP. TAP. TAP. hat?what was that??asked a nervous Anne. t came from upstairs ?yelled Jane. hh I trying to listen ?said Matt, but the sound grew louder, and louder, until it sounded like it was right next to them. ets GO Ahhhh Help Someone Help ?the girls screamed. UIET SHH yelled Sandy. UN NOW ?They all ran and ran until they were out of the woods. Panting, Sandy spoke to the frightened girls. hat was something...something...a animal,?he finished lamely. n animal,?repeated Lina, fuming at him. e could have?started Lina. ied ?screamed Kelly. o,?said Jane. e could have found out who is the ghost of Lenmore Mansion Or what is the ghost. Whatever.?Jane corrected Kelly. She turned to Anne, m, why did you scream, un now?? That was totally little kid stuff to do.?Anne just looked puzzled.

?I didn scream anything,?There was a pause. hen who did??asked Jane. There were shrugs and frowns of the question. ell, I think we should never go back to that creepy place.?said Kelly. eren you so keen to go

there in the first place, Kells??asked Sandy. Kelly blushed,

and muttered, h, well,----no----I mean, well?--- um, ma-

be, sorteah,?she said, trying to hide her face. nyway,?br> said Matt, ?We should try finding out about Wayne. Does anyone have suggestions??he asked. ?We could find old

issues of The Journal , and see if there is anything about him

in there,?suggested Lina. eah That a great idea ?they all exclaimed.ut lets meet here tomorrow, ause I gotta

leave for a reception party tonight.?said Jane. e too,?

said Lina. ?Not tomarrow,no.aid Sandy. goin?to

Georgia for a week.?nd I leaving for Virginia for a week.?said Anne. ack here, in week, guys? Wel see each other in a week. And find as much you can about this Wayne Lenmore, okay??said Matt.

It was a long week for everyone. Lina and Jane were looking marvelous at the reception party that night, wearing identical dresses of a turquoise-green color, ankleength with shawl that was not out-of-place, but made them look antabulous.?Sandy and Anne stayed at luxurious hotels in Virginia and Georgia, eating fine feasts

and taking long dips in the pools there. Also,they all frequently instant messaged each other, to ensure about what they had found out about the mysterious house....

It was a couple days after that when the group met.

Anne, who was the most knowledgeable one there, had taken the most amount of interest in Wayne Lenmore life. As she told them on instant messenger, she had found out that he was in the 45th issue of The Journal. Seeing as it was published only very recently in his time, he was quick to be

published in it. Wayne Lenmore had been quite an interesting person, as Anne had put it.

o, he was only 26 when he inherited his mother

fortune,?said Anne, busy online finding out more about Wayne Lenmore. oue been on for an hour researching him? You said you were on an assignment for history ?yelled Kelly. ow

Is my story ok? please tell me! i want to know!?

I think it has a lot of issues. You need an editor - seriously. First of all, you apparently don't know that every time a new person speaks, you change paragraphs. Secondly, you tend to write the way you THINK an author should write instead of using your own "voice". You write in the passive voice. By the end of the first paragraph (which was a horror to get through) I had totally lost any interest in reading any more. No, I don't think it is OK. It needs a ton of work. Your idea is fine, but your technique is seriously lacking.
