Your writing style is appropriately flowery for the type of story that you are writing. It is a rare commodity to see good descriptive sentences these days when everyone wants action, so good for you. :) However, I believe that the overall story could be much improved if you found a way to differentiate each character. Right now it seems like each character is only existing to fill their role in the story, and although the dialogue is good, and the character descriptions accurate, I find each character to be relatively similar but for their roles in the story: Cody the best friend, Stella the Protagonist, etc.,and because of this, they fail to jump off the page and bring the story to life. They play the average high school kids, however, we should remind ourselves that our characters are extensions of ourselves, no human is just and average anything. We are all unique and the characters should be that way as well. Find more ways to show the individuality and you'll have a great story on your hands.
