"We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love." (Robert Fulghum) Moving to boarding school proved beneficial for Aloy, a sixteen years old girl, who lacks self-confidence due to some past events. With the necessary courage, she manages to overcome her shyness and get what she always wanted: friends. Despite her estranged brother and their neglectful parents, Aloy tries to focus her attention on the gapes that can be filled, not the ones she thinks are lost cases. High school life is known as the time that you suffer, desperately search for yourself and fall in love. Aloy encounters all three situations, but the last one is giving her a hard time, although she doesn't want to admit it, under any circumstances. Like any teenager, she is conceited and fearful, so she prefers to vehemently deny that she has some feelings, fearing that she might hurt her friends. Translation of "Sunt cine vreau să fiu" - originally written in romanian

"We do not have feelings which change us, but feelings that suggest to us the idea of change. Thus love does not purge us of selfishness, but makes us aware of it and gives us the idea of a distant country where this selfishness will disappear." - Albert Camus A change in situation and perspective. Will Zayden be able to win Aloy back? Or is their relationship a thing of the past, and he needs to learn to move on? He is just under a year away from finishing high school, but emotionally he feels like he doesn't have enough time to fix all the mistakes he's made. His previous actions have brought him closer to new people but, at the same time, have distanced him from old friends. He is not the type to give up without a fierce fight, but is time on his side? Volume two of 'I'm who I wanna be' originally written in Romanian Can be read as a standalone but it's not recommended.
