“I wondered where the rules had come from.
The rules that said pretty girls didn't laik out (play) with poor girls or clever girls.
The rules that said boys and girls couldn't be friends, and certainly not white girls like me and Sharon and brown boys like Ishtiaq.
I couldn't work out how I had absorbed these rules, and why I still abided by them.”
