Summary

Ariya, a 17-year-old girl, has been stuck in the world of drugs since she was just 5 years old, introduced to them by her own mother who was already deep in her addiction. When she was 8, her aunt found out and got her into rehab, but after something traumatic happened, Ariya ended up right back where she started. Now she knows how to hide it. She takes just enough to keep people off her back. It already ruined her last relationship. Her boyfriend left when she chose "drugs over him". Honestly, Ariya's fine with being alone. At least that's what she tells herself. That is... until she meets Egypt. Egypt, a 16-year-old basketball player, has always stayed in his own lane. After bouncing through foster care and finally getting raised by his uncle, he keeps his circle tight with his boys Brandon and Daquan. He don't really mess with girls from the south side. They come with too much drama, and he's not tryna get caught up. But then there's Ariya. She's different. And not in the "good girl" way either. They clash the second they meet. She's cold, he's stubborn, and they both got too much going on to like each other. But somehow, the more they cross paths, the more the hate turns into something else. First respect. Then friendship. Then something deeper.
