The Girl Who Fell From The Sky 1

When Rachel first moves in with her grandmother it is obvious that she feels very uncomfortable. And when she starts school she realizes that your skin color matters. A lot of the girls find her threatening because she is so different and boys notice her. Also, her eyes are very blue which is pretty uncommon where her grandmother lives. So when people meet her they are immediately drawn to her eyes. Rachel has to learn to adjust to her new lifestyle and in order to make that easier on herself she becomes a "new girl". This makes it easier to talk to people because she doesn't have to think about her past, the new girl can be whoever she wants to be.
