Your story's interesting so far and the spacing's great. There are a couple problem spots, however. Firstly, the speaking would run more smoothly if you eliminated the "person: blah,blah,blah" and changed it to "blah,blah,blah," said person.

One thing that will help with writing in the "said person" form is making a list of words that can be used instead of "said" (like "replied," "questioned," "shouted,", etc)... that'll keep the paragraphs from getting repetitive.

Bad example:

"Hi," said John.

"Hello," said Sandy.

"How are you doing?" said John.

"I'm doing great. What about you?" said Sandy

Alternate (better) example:

"Hi," said John.

"Hello," Sandy replied cheerfully.

"How are you doing?" John asked.

Sandy smiled. "I'm doing great. What about you?"

There are also a couple of run-on problems, but other than that, it seems to be going well. Keep writing!
