This is a chapter I wrote when I was only 11.  I may not write the other chapters but I wanted to share this one since it's one of my earliest works and I keep this piece of work closest to my heart. I'll just give a little description of the story. It starts with Hareem, an ordinary 16-year-old girl from Chilas, Gilgit, who has always been struggling to exhibit her strengths. Belonging to an uneducated family, she has been a constant victim to suppression, her family often mocking her for being 'different.' Fed up of her daughter, Hareem's father decides to send her to one of the most renowned boarding schools in Pakistan, the Zagatar International School. At first, everything seems fine and Hareems quite fits into her new school, but things take a surreal turn when a lady, named Amna, is hired as a teacher at the school.
