A Good Kind of Trouble

I used to be worried about playing footy and whether my first kiss would be with a boy or a girl. I used to worry about having enough time after school and putting my little cousins to bed to go for a run with my best friend Loz and whether she’d ever look at me the way she looks at my brother Poss.

But a new girl came to school and there’s something about her … I suddenly got the courage to stand up to our history teacher about teaching our true history with books written by blackfullas. And somehow she did too!

At first we were on top of the world – and we might even have a chance to change it just a little bit. But now I’m banned from footy and I wonder … is it all going to be worth it?
