I take a shot at writing. Here is my first story: My new school.
Chapter 1: First Day
Ok. Let me just say this, my parent's idea of moving from Iowa to Montana was a wrong move. First things first, I hate my name. My name is Rainbow. Yes, you heard me right. That's my name. What were by parents thinking? But right when i stepped into Flow Springs Middle School, i rushed to my locker, and saw the locker next to be in honestly the worst condition ever. My locker was completely fine,however.I got my books and rushed in to my homeroom, and my teacher, Ms.Dash, was taking attendence. She asked me my name, i and i regretfully said "Rainbow.". I thought no one would care, but it was a brodcast to the room.
How do you like it.

Good so far!

Cliche.
Plus, did you think nobody would see the Rainbow Dash pun? At least try to be subtle. You probably gave the main character that name just to have that pun, which, by the way, is too stupid to be taken at all seriously.
To make the plot at all servicable I recommend a name change, then removing anything about moving, as we don't need 2 plots going in paralell.

It's a good plot, but you might need to work on your grammar a little bit.
I know, I sound so picky, but if you want to be taken a little more seriously in your writing, you want to make it look as professional as possible. Yes, everybody makes mistakes, but that's why we proofread, revise, and edit our writing pieces
Here is what I think would make it look better:

Another suggestion: You were talking about how you hated your name, then you skipped to the part when you were in school. Maybe you should work your way up to that point?

Pretty harsh critique there...maybe offer some suggestions on what you would prefer to see?

I always like to put 'Okay' instead of 'OK', but whatever you want.
'moving ... was a wrong move'. Sounds repetitive
Or was that intentional?
First things first, I hate my name. My name is Rainbow. Yes, you heard me right. That's my name. What were by parents thinking?
"Rainbow"? Don't tell me this is an MLP reference. Also, 'my parents'.
But right when i stepped into Flow Springs Middle School, i
The 'But' doesn't make sense IMO. Start a new paragraph, 'Right when I...' And capitalize the i's.
rushed to my locker, and saw the locker next to be in honestly the worst condition ever. My locker was completely fine,however.
Space between the e,h. Also, is this relevant? Well, it might be later.
should be, "I saw the locker", not "and saw".
I got my books and rushed in to my homeroom, and my teacher, Ms.Dash,
Spaces again: Ms.Dash. Yeah. MLP reference. Uh, unless the whole thing is with MLP names, I wouldn't suggest having that.
was taking attendence. She asked me my name, i and i regretfully said "Rainbow.".
I'll retype... "was taking attendance. She asked me my name, and I regretfully said, "Rainbow."
I thought no one would care,
Sorta contradictory of what you said earlier.
but it was a brodcast to the room.
It's spelled broadcast, and the sentence doesn't make a lot of sense.
Sorry for going over this with a fine comb, but I'm picky

Nice, I think Rainbow has a likable sense of humor!

Lol, Rainbow. You should marry "Ms. Dash" so you can say "durr, my name is Rainbow Dash". Very uncreative my boy. Very uncreative.
