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 pass 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…”
ISSUE TWO OUTLINE
Beginning: We begin the story with Zarah looking through the old photos of her and her friends in a photobook. She has a black eye and a fat lip. In the book of photos sits a plane ticket to the U.S. It’s dated sometime in 2016 as we jumped ahead another few years. Her dad opens her bedroom door and asks if she’s ready to go. Zarah questions this since they still have four hours before they even have to leave. But she closes her book, grabs her stuff and makes her way downstairs. When she gets down there, Seo-yun, Jin, and a few other people she’d play basketball with wait for her. She’s shocked to see them and they all embrace. They have a surprise party and have fun. Seo-Yun acts cold towards Zarah most of the party, while Jin acts pretty normal. Zarah eventually confronts Seo-Yun about his coldness and they actually have an argument on whether she should be leaving. Zarah shouts about how she’s been jumped multiple times and tormented over her being different and that Seo-Yun is being selfish. Jin defends Zarah, but also manages to take Seo-Yun’s side at the same time in a way only best friends can. Eventually, Zarah needs to leave and head to the airport.
Middle: Zarah shows up to the U.S and sees her mom for the first time in years. Zarah, filled with anger and resentment greets everyone but her mom, happily. Later in the car ride her mom tries to make conversation and Zarah responds by putting in earbuds. Her mom snaps at her reminding her who is the adult. Zarah apologizes for her behavior and ask if there is a court near the house. Her mom says, “Yeah, there’s a court down the street your cousin will take you after you get settled.” Zarah then goes home with her mom and meets her family for the first time. Her family is taken back by her strong accent but they pretend not to notice. At this point, Zarah and her mom had been speaking in korean to each other. Zarah’s english is broken.
Flash forward to school where Zarah stays quiet the whole time, and just watches everyone. She’s shocked to see so many people that look just like her. However, she may look african-american, she is still african-Korean. Zarah ends up walking into her school’s basketball gym where there’s a couple people playing for fun. She somehow gets into the mix of players, due to her having the obvious, “I’m not from here” look, she gets chosen last.The game starts and not a single pass comes her way. Trying to avoid any type of conflict she doesn't say anything, but she ends up having an open shot. So she yells, “yo pass it to me” in English, but ln a thick heavy accent causing everyone burst out laughing with tears and starts clowning on her and she's thinking to herself, “not again.” She storms out of the gym and we lead into the next scene.
End: Zarah walks down the hallway, saddened by what happened, when she passes a wall with a list of clubs. One of them being, “Korean culture.” Zarah reluctantly signs her name on the list. She smiles slightly and says, “there’s no place like home.”
