Summery:

This book is about a girl and her name is Melissa. They call her Mel. Mel goes to college and she has a boyfriend called Ben. Ben and Mel have been together in ten weeks. One day the both of them went to a party. Mel went to her old friend Ryan’s birthdayparty. Ben went to a clubparty of his friend. 

At Ryan’s party Mel got a text from someone strange, she only thought it was a joke. The text was from a girl with the name Glo. In the text is stood like this: hey, dog - girlfriend - mayb u shuda cum 2 da party wid B! (hey, dog-girlfriend - maybe you should come to the party with Ben!)

Mel was wondering who that strange girl was and why she wrote about Ben. The next day she got more text from that strange girl. She was thinking ’‘Maybe the girl has a relationship with Ben, maybe Ben lied to her’’. She found clues and she thought she was right. Mel started to act strange and she became jealous. She was so angry that she told Ben. They didn’t have a good talk, Mel only screamed at Ben and she didn’t trust him. Mel and Ben was over. Mel didn’t think about what she said, she was completely crazy and sad. And now is she scared that she lost him.  

Character tracer :

Lisa is Mel’s bestfriend. She goes at the same class as Mel and she is also a old friend to Ryan. Lisa has blue-black hair. And she really does care about everybody. For an example, go to the page 1: ’‘Look,’’ she says, ’‘look Mel, you can’t miss Ryan’s birthday. 

Go to page 52: ’’Lisa phones the house two nights running but I tell mum I feel dreadful and i will phone her back later.’’

And she was the first person Mel said about the text to.

In page 23, the first page of chapter 5 ’‘Glo’’. If you go to that page they show that Mel actually are wearing makeup. The page says ’‘By the time I’m out of the shower and putting on my makeup, slowly and carfully, enjoying the way my face is transformed, I feel really good’’. 

Some teenagers put on some makeup every day. Maybe not every day but when it is school or when they are going out with friends. When the school is closed i feel like my life is so much easier, because i don’t need to have on makeup. And when the school start it feels like ’’NO, I am to lazy or i don’t wanna wear makeup, but what are my friends and the whole school gonna think about me? that I am ugly?’’. I understand that people really like to wear makeup. I also understand why, it is because they want to look great. But every teenager are beautiful how they look. It dosen’t matter if they have makeup or not. Some Teenagers start to put on makeup because of bullies. But it dosen’t have to be just that reason it can be some many other reasons for that. Maybe the bullies trade you like a geek. But i have a kind of feeling that the bullies thinks that they are ugly to, that’s why they maybe started with makeup.

Personbeskrivning

Ahmed är en kille som bor i Sverige men kommer från Somalia. I hans familj var de åtta stycken hans mamma, pappa och hans fem syskon Mohamoud, Muna , Soleka, Awo och Khalid. Han bodde i Sollentuna där gick han i skolan, skolan hette Erikbergsskolan. Ahmed hade en massa vänner Joseph, Peter, Deliana och Linda. 

På Ahmeds fritid spelade han dataspel, basket och friidrott. Ahmed brukade vara i andra länder där tävlade han och då vann han oftast medaljer.

Ahmed han lyssnade sällan på hans pappa. Hans pappa bad honom komma hem efter skolan, han fick inte gå någon annanstans. Istället för att komma hem och sköta sysslor eller läsa koranen gick han till en kompis eller spelade fotboll. 

Ahmed var på sitt sätt väldig komplicerad. Ibland var han glad speciellt när han var i skolan med hans vänner. Han var modig och vågade säga ifrån sig, på sidan 85 står det så här ’‘Jag gör precis som jag vill, mina föräldrar bryr sig ju inte om mig’’. Han var väldigt rädd för hans pappa eftersom hans pappa alltid brukade slå honom och då blev han ledsen fast han ville inte visa det. 

Varför Ahmeds pappa och mamma skickade honom till Somalia var för att han inte betedde sig som en muslimsk så därför skickade de honom till Somalia för att han skulle lära sig vara en trogen muslim. Det visar de på sidan 32, det står så här: ’’Du är en somalier, inte svensk. Du är inte som dina kompisar, du ska inte vara som dina kompisar. För svenska gäller svenska regler, för somalier somaliska. Du är somalier och du är muslim och du ska inte umgås med de otrogna’’.

Så Ahmed hade ett ganska tufft liv. Han blev slagen. Han blev lämnad. Han fick klara sig själv.
