In this story you see the lives of two different 12 year olds. Kirsten is an overweight kid who goes to a private school and Walker is a coloured boy who has just moved there from a public school. They are both going through difficult stages in their life. Kirsten constantly eats without others knowing and her best friend has abandoned her for the popular group. For Walker the challenge is to stay away from his friend and cousin who is a bad influence.
When Kirsten decides to make up with her friend Rory she is forced to hang out with the popular group. After an incident with them at lunch, Kirsten decides to look the other way and not talk to them, even when her mum tries to persuade her to have some kind of party or sleepover with them. As Kirsten is sneaking into the garage to get junk food (her mother doesn't want her to eat it but she doesn't find out), she overhead her mother and father's argument. They were arguing about a serious occurrence: the facts from this argument could change Kirsten and Walker's relationship forever.
