Awkward

Published 2015-07-21 · 210 pages

Penelope Torres (or Peppi, for short,) is a new student at a new school. Unfortunately, the first day didn't turn out so good. She trips and drops her stuff, and a nice boy, Jaime Tompson, was so kind to pick up her stuff and hand it to her. The bullies made fun of Jaime, and called him "Nerder," and as Peppi didn't want to look bad, especially on her first day, she took her stuff and ran. For weeks, months she couldn't work the nerve to apologize. She passes by other various obstacles in her student life, as well as making new friends and joining an art club in her school.
