tell me what you think!

–Back home (which is Blakely, North Carolina) the sun was probably shinning. The temperature was probably just right to go hang out on the beach, as it always was, and my best friend, Paige, was probably lying on the beach with her two younger brothers, Caleb and Ben. I would have been lying there on the warm, sunny beach with her if I hadn’t been dragged here.
I braced myself as I opened the door to my dorm. No matter how much I didn’t want to be here, I didn’t want to be stuck here friendless even more. From here on out I would be nothing but fake smiles.
“You must be Eleanor!” A girl said as soon as I opened the door and walked into my dorm room. She skipped towards me from across the room to help me with my bags. Her wavy blond hair hit just below her shoulders, and I could still see the tanned glow of her skin from summer.
“Ellie” I corrected her. The room had dark wooden floors and plain white walls; there were four beds spread out across the room, and a dresser for each girl. Since every other bed was taken, I set my duffle bag down on the bed beside the window.
“I’m Norah Finley. The other two girls are saying goodbye to their parents downstairs. They should be up here soon.” she said as she jumped up on her bed, which she had already made up with a pink duvet cover and white pillows with a pink embroidered N in the center. Looking at her outfit, a pink polo dress, I could tell she was a girly-girl.
I smiled with fake enthusiasm and reached into my duffle bag; I pulled out zebra print duvet cover my mom had bought me and started making my bed. I figured I might as well start setting up my side of the room. Besides, I couldn’t think of a single thing to say to Norah.
Norah was flipping through a Seventeen magazine and I was still making my bed when the door burst open. “We’re back!” a girl shoulder length auburn hair said as she ran and jumped on her bed. I laughed and watched as another girl with a dark brown bob with bangs ran into the room.
“One day here, and I’m already chasing you through the school!” She laughed. They then noticed that I was there.
“I’m Brynn Adams,” the auburn haired girl told me.
“Myers, Abbie Myers” the other girl said then laughed at her own corny James Bond joke.
“Eleanor Roberts, but from here on out, call me Ellie.” I looked over at Brynn’s side of the room and saw her simple navy blue quilt. She had already stuck a poster of Marie Sharapova. I was guessing she was into tennis.
Abbie’s side of the room was already a complete mess. Her suitcases were open; her clothes were on her peace sign quilt and on the floor. In her attempts to clean up her mess, she threw all of her clothes in a pile and tossed it into her suitcase. I smiled to myself, realizing her messiness reminded me of Paige.
“Okay, so did any of you see the guys here? Can you say FINE?” Norah dished to us. She fell back on her bed and laid the magazine on top of her blushing face.
“They were too busy giving me the stink eye for me to notice,” Brynn said as she showed us the look she’d seen.
“They did that with me, too!” At least I knew now it wasn’t because I was horrifically ugly or had something on my forehead. That was a relief.
“Same reaction here,” Abbie started. “And I heard a few guys whispering as I walked by. They said we’re ‘intruding on their turf,’” she air-quoted and rolled her eyes………

   Sounds good, but needs a bit of polishing. Watch your tense changes. I know it is difficult sometimes to catch those mistakes. Keep going. It will definitely be good!

   Can you help me?
