Ok what do you guys think about this story?
So I was walking to the store right? And some stranger walked up to me and said, "You're Hanna Bolli right?" in an english accent.
I said, "Um no i'm not. Actually I don't even know who hanna bolli is." I walked past him and strolled down the street. Pretty soon I heard footsteps coming behind me.
"Hanna Bolli, you know the famous actress," the man said panting.
"Sorry, I've never heard of her," I said grinning.
"Oh! That smile is definitely Hanna Bolli!" At this point I was getting pretty sick of the whole ordeal but I humored the man and said, "Alright, you're right. Do you want my autograph or something?" The man nodded his head vigorously and pulled out a pad of paper and a pen. I signed Hanna Bolli on the paper, handed it to the very excited man and walked on. I got to the store and was in the fruit aisle when I saw some other guy running up to me.
"Hanna Bolli!!! Please can I have a picture with you?" Alright that guy must've told others. I said my name isn't hanna bolli but you can have a picture anyway. He obviously thought I was joking when I said my name wasn't Hanna bolli so he handed a camera to a passerby and stood next to me. Man!! I was getting tired of this. The rest of the day I dodged society and hid from any woman, man ,boy, girl or anyone that passed my way.

More of the Hanna bolli story

The rest of the day I dodged society and hid from any woman, man, boy, girl or anyone that passed my way. When I finally got to my apartment complex, I ran up the stairs to room 1104. Yeah, eleven flights of stairs. It was the cheapest one, what can I say? I locked the door behind me just in case anybody was stalking me.
“Why do people think I’m Hanna Bolli?” I asked myself aloud. “Who is Hanna Bolli?” I walked across the empty living room and sat down on a rickety old chair. “I’m a dirty little rat orphan!” Well at least I thought I was dirty. I couldn’t tell as I didn’t have enough money to buy such trifles as mirrors. See, after I escaped from the orphanage, I didn’t have the job of delivering Bold Magazine anymore. (At the orphanage I was at, they had all the orphans deliver some kind of periodical.) I used the money I had saved up to rent an apartment. The only way for me to earn money now is by helping my neighbor Justina baby-sit. I barely earn enough money for food not to mention the rent. It only costs $50 a month but that’s a lot to me.
I always have to be wary when seeing people. Who knows who might be after me? Anyway, while I was in the midst of pondering my predicament concerning Hanna Bolli, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” I asked in a deep voice.
“Justina,” was the reply. I opened the door and let her in. Justina was the only one outside the orphanage who knew I escaped.
“Do you want some meatloaf? I brought some leftovers,” she said procuring a small Tupperware box from her bag.
“Sure, thanks,” I said gratefully. W walked to a small table in the kitchen, which was just an old stove, a small sink, and a small fridge.
“Carmen,” Justina said. (Yes, my name is Carmen.) “My mom is getting a little suspicious. Today she noted that your parents have been gone a long time, longer than she would ever leave me and my brothers. I told her that you said their flight was delayed but she didn’t buy it.” I had thought about this ever since I told her mom that my parents were just on a trip. What am I supposed to do? I chewed the meatloaf in thought. Justina was also silently thinking up a plan.
“You could say you found out they died and that’s why they aren’t here yet,” she said.
“But then I would just be sent back where I was. That wouldn’t help.” I finished the meatloaf and washed the bowl. “Have you ever heard of Hanna Bolli?” I asked.
“No, who is she?”
“Supposedly she’s a famous actress. Today some people mistook me for her. One guy even took a picture with me!” I said half laughing.
“You let someone take your picture?” Justina asked incredulously.
“Yeah, what of it?” I asked.
“Don’t you realize that people might recognize you? I mean what if that guy sells it to Bold Magazine!”
“You’re right! Crap!” I cried.

I like it. some parts are kind of confusing maybe because it seems like you miss words or you accidentally type an extra letter sometimes. heh but the story is cool.
