Becky understood how things worked.  She understood her place on the high school food chain.  She wasn't quite at the bottom but she knew the popular kids would nibble on her more than most. Her best friend was also close to the bottom.  She and Omar had been best friends for years.  Now they shared the daily insults and put downs that came their way.  All was as they knew it.  Until he arrived.  On an ordinary day in October, he walked into the classroom and promptly sat cross-legged on the floor.  Everyone stared knowing that this was not allowed.  They waited for the young man to get into trouble.  But how could Becky and Omar ever anticipate how completely this strange young boy with the scars and the mysterious background would change their entire world?
