Rory Winston was a thirteen year old girl who was a loner; Rory loved being alone with her comic books. She didn't mind that she had no friends. As long as she could imagine that she was her favorite comic character. Her favorite character was tear drop Tina. Tear drop Tina was a character that could cry so many tears she could make her own river. Rory wish that she could possess such a power; so that she could get back at her bullies at school. But for now she would stay in her room and pretend that she was tear drop Tina. Rory would get a glass of water and actually pour it down her face. She used Tina's favorite line. "River flow from my eyes". Rory always loved the feeling it gave her. Rory collected so many comic books her collection was at a thousand. Rory's second favorite character was pigtail Penny. Pigtail Penny had two pig tails that could make her fly. Her pigtail's would stick straight up and spin into flight action. Penny's favorite line was " spin away" Rory had so many characters that she loved to be. There was another character named Quando Jumper; this character was a male character ; Quando could jump two miles a jump. He could jump a long way. The list goes on and on. Rory had gotten tired from all the imagining. Rory yawned; she ran to the livinging room where her parents was watching TV. Rory's mom Kathey and her father Ben both looked at her. Kathey said hey you" Kathey gestured for Rory to sit next to her. Ben said while kissing Rory on the forehead " how is my little lamb?" Rory looked at her parents and smiled. Rory watched tv; before long Rory fell asleep. The next morning Rory awoke early; she had to go to school; Rory took a shower; she got dressed and went to go eat breakfast. Kathey asked" how's my little angel" Rory answered "hoping I have the best day at school" Kathey said "you will darling" Kathey comfort her daughter. Kathey packed Rory's lunch; Rory hurriedly ate her breakfast; so she could catch her bus. Rory's father had already left for work. Rory had missed him. Kathey kissed her daughter.

Carrie Lane and Roxy Jones sat In the seat behind Rory; Carrie leaned over and shoved Rory's head. Rory tried to ignore her bullies; Roxy leaned over and pulled Rory's hair.

Good story, just a suggestion, but you might want to use more pronouns instead of repeating Rory every time.
