BASIC STORY

Well I would hate for you to be drawing for something you didn't like so I'm going to give you the first issue of my story a very very loose description and ofcourse leaving you on a little cliffhanger

ISSUE ONE OUTLINE

Beginning:

5 year old Zarah plays in the park with her dad. Zarah runs over to another child and before speaking, the child’s mother pulls the kid away and gives Zarah a dirty look. This is hinting at a more racist theme.  Zarah questions if there’s something wrong with her.

From here we transition to the 4th grade. Kids notes about her in class. One of the notes gets into Zarah’s hands and it’s something mean about her.  Again, she questions if there is something wrong with her. Zarah goes home and tells her dad about the bullying. Her dad encourages her to try and befriend the bullies. There is also images of a woman (presumably Zarah’s mom) but is never seen. Zarah goes to school the next day and tries to befriend her bullies. In response, the bullies push her to the ground and kick her. A boy named, “Seo-Yun” laughs at her from a distance. Zarah of course gives Seo-Yun a dirty look and yells at him. He then walks over and tries to explain that people are mean and no one is going to respect you unless you respect yourself. Seo-Yun offers to help Zarah up and when she reaches form his hand he pulls away, and chuckles. Further pushing his original statement. (after making a joke about it, he does help her up for real.) Seo-Yun asks Zarah if she’d like to play basketball with him and his friends and she accepts

Middle:

We then flash forward two years and into the 6th grade. Zarah is still being bullied and treated like an outcast, however on the basketball court, she’s treated like a superior, although, she doesn’t feel like one. One day while playing at the basketball court, another group of kids, led by Jin, walks over and demands they get off the court. Zarah has a flashback of her dad telling her not to react to bullies (and ignoring his advice to befriend them at the same time) and begins to walk off the court, in shame. Then, Seo-Yun grabs her by the arm and reminds her that people won’t respect her until she respects herself So, Zarah turns and challenges Jin to a one on one in classic kid fashion. She beats him but instead of gaining respect for her, Jin dislikes her even more. (This will later flourish into a real friendship.) Jae-Un (Zarah’s bully since childhood) sees this as well and is not happy that Zarah is actually good at something. So, that night when Zarah is walking home, Jae-Un and a few other girls jump her. Zarah goes home, storms past her father and photos of her mom and walks into her room. Zarah, angry shouts at a photo of a woman on her dresser saying, “No one wants me. No one likes me, not even you!” Her dad rushes into her room after hearing the yelling and they have an argument. Zarah wants to fight back, but her dad tries to convince her otherwise saying he knows how it feels (him being mixed but it harder to tell). Zarah then ends the argument  by yelling, “You’re not like me, you look like them!”

End:

The next day, zarah is at the basketball court, blowing off steam. Jin happens to be there as well, but by himself this time. Jin makes a comment on her form being off that day and Zarah snaps at him angrily. She demands to know, “why.” Jin, taken back by this tells her he honestly isn’t sure. Zarah asking is it because she is black. For Jin, the annoyance isn’t that Zarah is black, it's that she’s a girl and beat him at basketball. One of the few things he feels he’s good at. Zarah understands his position and the two have an understanding. He asks why she looks so beat up and she informs him. From here we have a compilation of Zarah and Jin playing basketball and hanging out in school and the compilation starts to include Jin as well. The story will end with with Zarah looking through these photos with a black eye and bruised lip stating, “I’m going to miss you…”
