Home is less than great. Junior high school is awful. Daijhas mom is rarely around, leaving Daijha alone and afraid. School should be an escape from her loneliness, but instead, it is a daily torment Daijha endures that further isolates her.

Things begin to change when J enrolls in school. She has sass and confidence and a whole bunch of extra weight! How can she be so confident, looking the way that she does? Is it real, or is she faking? Where does it come from?

J is not at all intimidated and has an inner strength Daijha knows not of. She stands up for herself and shows Daijha a thing or two in the process.
