The Beginning of Us

Cierrah's life is all routines and rhythms. she's the majorette team captain with dreams bigger than her block. Kalem's world? Falling apart ever since his father died, pulling him deeper into the streets. They've been best friends since hopscotch and freeze tag, but now their lives are shifting. She's fighting to stay focused. He's fighting not to lose himself.

But when late-night talks turn into longer stares and the lines between friendship and something deeper start to blur, Cierrah's gotta ask herself: is loving Kalem worth the risk? Or will the streets take him before she ever gets the chance?
