Then there is jamsmine wambui, the girl with big curly hair who is the only one who smiles at him. But Jasmine's family owes Jamal's family a huge dept , and she is promised to marry him after school. when Chri's diary falls on the dusty road, it lands on the hands of the wrong person. And one wish-" I wish Chris never existed"- will show every one what the world would really be without him.
