The Color Of Her Skin

Leaving her drama filled life in Nigeria, Chinonye is moving to the United States. Life isn't easy in a new school. She struggled to fit in with people that have schooled together their whole life. "One friend" That's all she needs. Lying to her friends back home that she's fitting in is starting to become harder than it seems. She's actually being bullied. She thought it was just in movies. But its actually happening to her, being how she is she didn't take it easily and got suspended her second week for as they said "Beating the shit out some white kid". Being back in school after her suspension, she got a lot of attention, both good and bad. And Shawn Whittleson is always on her case. To her he's just some white kid with racism issues. But slowly it seems she's starting to like him. How can you make someone who hates the color of your skin to fall for you.
