About
Lamar Jackson (16)—named after his grandfather, with zero relation to the football player—is a sophomore at Houston High School living with his mom and siblings. After transfer student Aaliyah (Liyah) moved from Detroit to Houston to live with her single dad and his girlfriend, Lamar and Liyah instantly clicked as tight homeboy and homegirl—chilling, partying, smoking, and hanging out 24/7. Liyah is a smart A-B student, cheerleader, and massive PARTYNEXTDOOR fan who is a total daddy's girl (her dad is her best friend). Though Liyah always messed with boys and Lamar always messed with girls, a lowkey flirty, touchy-feely tension has grown between them. After cheer practice and hanging out, friends point out how overly affectionate and attached they are. Conflicted about whether this is just playful homeboy/homegirl teasing or something real, Liyah goes to her dad for advice on how to handle her feelings for Lamar.
