Malala and Ziauddin talked about the bombs that exploded outside their home night after night, making it impossible to sleep. Malala said her father could no longer walk her to school. It was too dangerous for him to be seen outside. She liked her blue school uniform, she said, but now she couldn’t wear it. The few students who still attended dressed in plain clothes so the Taliban wouldn’t know where they were going.

Her school would soon close, she said, covering her face, trying not to cry. She wanted to be a doctor. Doctors must study for many years. How could she ever realize her dream if there was no school to go to?

In January 2009, the Taliban did the very thing that Malala had been dreading. All girls’ schools would close for good on January 15. Boys’ schools would stay open, but girls would have to remain at home.

On January 14, when school was over, Malala said good-bye to Moniba and all her other friends. No one knew what would happen next.

Malala spent the days reading, getting into fights with her brothers, and talking to the BBC reporter.
