Her best friends Jack and Fareeda constantly have her back though, even if they do question her crush on the new Swedish foreign exchange student, Stig . Fourteen is a heck of time to start a new school, let alone be in a new country, so she definitely knows what it's like to not feel like you have anything in common with anyone.

I just wanted to disappear. I didn't want anyone to even know I existed.""Every morning, my mom would give me these pep talks, and even when I didn't want to hear them, they did sink in," she shared.
