Is this an OK start for my book? Please comment.?

I enjoy the story. But I have to agree with wishful thinking... The random classmate does confuse me. I think your detail needs to be a little more specific. It's hard to pick out who is who. Other then that great storyline! I like your thought behind it and don't worry about the grammar and spelling... That can ALWAYS be fixed unlike a great idea that comes in your mind for a minute.
