Prologue
My name is Zara Hale and I fell in love with someone I couldn't. Since I was born I was always the goodie- two shoes that everyone expected me to be because as a Pakistani your parents only expected two things from you get a degree and marry a Pakistani.
But as you have probably already heard in the first sentence I was breaking one of these rules. I had always thought that love was endless and it would all end in the happy ever after like the fairy tales I used to read as a child. But well life does not work that way.
But let's start with how I first had to go to Grey River Academy the place that changed my life. So back when I was a senior and I was feeling extremely rebellious because I had a fight with Baba about what I wanted to do in life. I had stormed out in a fight.
I went to parties that I never went to and I got someone to make out with me. Keep in mind that I had never kissed someone. "Hey cutie, what's your name"? "Ben, he said very sluggishly" But just as I was in the middle of kissing him all hell broke out for me.
In the middle of the party, Baba and his friends caught me kissing someone! He held me by my ear and told me such bad things like how I'm a little whore and how I should never go out again.
I was so scared so I left my mouth shut and let him do it. When we got in the car my dad then announced I was going to a private boarding school for troubled and distressed kids. But what I had not then discovered was that Grey River Academy would be the best decision in my fuckin life.
