Ellie Pillai Is Brown

My name is Ellie. Ellie Pillai. And I suppose I am a little bit weird but then arent we all just a little bit? Most days Ellie Pillai is somewhere between invisible and not very cool - and usually shes okay with that. But suddenly Ellie feels different. Maybe its the new boy at school who makes her brain explode into rainbows every time she sees him (and also happens to be going out with her best friend) or maybe its her new drama teacher the one who seems to have noticed she exists. Suddenly her misfit style her skin colour her songwriting and all that getting lost in the music in her head seem to be okay too. Because maybe standing out isnt a bad thing after all.
