I've noticed your first paragraph is rather big. Often if talking about something new, start on a new line. Also, the indenting is rather eye straining and also not necessary as another has told you.
Yeah I actually wrote this in a Word document so the indents were already formatted... I also tend to write a lot of research papers so it's a habit...
You've got a good plot going here, but I will note that I got confused a couple of times since the story tends to sometimes go from third person to first person, especially in the italic parts. I would suggest sticking with third person so it's easier to follow.
Sorry about that. I originally wrote this in first person but changed it to third person. I'll go through and change the mistakes. Thank you for pointing that out!
