However, during the lunch hour, the dynamic changes, as her friends share lunchboxes freely with each other but refuse to share food with Fatima.
She begins to feel alienated as she becomes more aware of the reasons for her ostracization. One day, a bunch of boys in the class steal every lunch except Fatima's box. Could this be a new hope to break the alienation?
