300 Words

Hi.
So, I'm still in touch with my fifth-grade teacher, because she is one of the best writing teachers I've ever had. Recently, she asked me to write a 300-word story for her. So this is my first draft of one. I don't think it's very good yet, so advice would be welcomed.
(Also, about the content of the story: It is purely fictional. I am not a lesbian.)

She

She in skirts of a raw and brilliant red today, looking heady and intoxicative. She rosy and nontraditional in her assets -yet hers is a countenance to which I ascribe innumerable and unspoken beauties. Wraithlike yet fiercely sentient, there is not a whit of happenstance in her aura, but truth -striking, doubtless, hungered truth.
