All right, there's a lot of things that need to be dealt with so I'm just going to go all at once:
1. This is too short.
2. There's no plot.
3. There's no punctuation.
4. There's bad spelling:
5. What's with the smileys at the start?
6. I fail to see a point in any part of the script so I don't care what happens or who these people are.
7. It seems like something's going to happen at the end but then you don't take it anywhere.
8. You seem very random with your story, it goes from, where's my nail polish to random laughing and slouching to HEY, LET'S EAT! It's very off-putting and makes it hard to follow.
9. There's no formatting, read this: http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/howtoformatascreenplay and google Celtx, it's a free script formatting program that'll help a lot.
Overall, it seems like you either wrote this out of boredom or you wrote it with your friends in a chat room. Improve it if you're serious about scriptwriting.
I don't understand this...
Overall a good effort but you just need to make stage directions clear... x
My suggestions are in red.
I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It's a very good start, but if you fix a few things it can be a lot better!
You seem to have forgotten a lot of punctuation. Even if you're writing a script, you need to use it. How will the actor reading it know whether to be happy, or excited, or curious? As a script writer, you set the tone for the actors to fit into. You have to lead them in and guide their expressions.
Also, when you're writing stage direction make sure to put it in parentesies (sorry if I spelled that wrong!
Oh yeah, one more thing. I underlined a word in your last sentence because I really wasn't sure what you were trying to say. Are the Boyz another character or set of character? Or did you mean to write 'the boys' and wrote it another way instead?
I hope this was helpful to you! Keep writing!
I like your title. It's really engaging. But, I find your story lacking something. Maybe, you could use more powerful words C: Thanks!
