[REAL STORY!!]
At fifteen, she had no map-just a suitcase full of silence and a heart too soft for this world.
When she moves to France, life feels like static noise. New school. New people. Nothing familiar. But on the first day of her second year, a stranger walks straight into her loneliness-a girl with dark skin, a loud laugh, and a kindness that feels like home.
And then there's Sarien-the boy with dreadlocks under a hoodie and eyes that see everything she's trying to hide. He's quiet. Strange. Beautiful. Different from anyone else. They speak the same language in a world where she understands no one.
But emotions are dangerous. Her family wouldn't accept him. He's not Muslim. He's dark-skinned. And she doesn't even know if he loves her. He never says it. Never touches her. But when he looks at her, it's like the rest of the world disappears.
So she pushes him away. Again and again. Deletes him. Blocks him. Pretends she doesn't know him.
But she keeps coming back.
