Summary: There is a new student named Jermiah. He was black, tall, he had brown eyes the color of dried up leaves before winter, and his dreads lock deeply in his scout. He was from Brooklyn, NY. There is also a girl name Elisha. She's familiar with the school because she has been there a while. Her eyes lock on to him at first sight. There conversation was short. But to them they felt long and deep. The first 50 pages of the story is about Elisha watching him and Jermiah watching her. Clearly showing they like each other because they cant stop looking a each other. Love at first sight is was some seem to call it. It introduce these two characters and shows a future between the two.

Reactions: when I seen this line is had me thinking. What did she mean when she said "but on step outside. Just one step and some how the weight of his skin seemed to change. It got heavier". Knowing little about the book I did some research. I discovered there's racism involved in this book. So to me I predicted there's going to be future problems between the two. Knowing Jermiah is black and Elisha is white. People will disagree on them being toghter. This soon will promote conflict.
