A very large expanse of sea. Shirin was in class and her rude teacher, Mr. Jordan, called her out and she started running down the halls crying. She ran halfway across the school and was going to leave campus until someone touched her hand she turned around and it was Ocean. He felt bad for her so he was talking to her and they ended up leaving campus together for the day.

A very large expanse of sea. Shirin is getting out of all drama.... or at least she thought. She was walking to class and then a girl bumps into her. she doesnt know many people so shes confused why they dont like her. But this girl started yelling at her and calling her names... but they didn't know Shirin's name so she was confused on why they didn't like her and why they are picking on her if they don't know her.

A very large expanse of sea. Shirin is finally getting out of all drama and people at her school are starting to like her. Less people talking bad about her, more people staring but in a good way. She starts to feel good about herself. She now doesn't care what people think of her. She likes to do what she loves which is doodle and write.

Shirin got partnered with a boy named Ocean. He wasn't bothered by it but Shirin was. Ocean told Shirin that he could work on the project after school so Shirin decided to send him a text. Several text. He didn't answer so she got frustrated, then he finally answered. HE mentioned someone that was on her head that she was embarrassed by but he didnt know it would make her uncomfortable.

Shirin has to tutor her brother and they get distracted by breakdancing. They started off at being mad and grumpy then they turned out to be having fun and being silly. Shirins brother starts making fun of her for not breakdancing good. (as a joke.)

A very large expanse of sea. Shirins brother has been rude to her and cussing at her so she decides to stand up for herself for once and started cussing back at him. Her mother walks in and its her in the back of the head but then she showed up at school with bruises on her arm. Now her teachers and classmates are concerned. Shes not sure why because they are all rude and judgemental toward her.

Shirin went through a day without getting bullied. Someone bumped into her on accident but that was it. She walked home with no problems. Everyone was nice to her and everyone noticed her.

I just started this book and its already got my attention. Shirin and her older brother move schools all the time. In two years they moved to 3 different schools. Shirin hates moving but her brother doesn't really get bothered by it. On the first day of her new school she had no friends at all so we ate her lunch in the bathroom then when she was done she went to the library.
