I got my trial marks back for creative writing and I got 7/15.. which is 'meh'

But one of the comments I had been given was that my story wasn't 'creative' enough...........which disturbs me because no matter how many times I edit. I still get those comments back. I honestly am unsure what they mean by 'creative', maybe i don't fully understand what creative writing is.
Please help! (because that was the lowest mark in my trial english exam)

also... How does creative writing differ from narrative writing?



[I have looked at other creative writing pieces but to me it appears to just be like a VERY SHORT story]

What is your story about? Hint: If you wrote about something really cliche like school and you didn't do it in an amazing way, it instantly becomes non-creative. As a general rule, if you think of it in a minute, so did 30,000 other people in the state and you become unoriginal
