After losing her brother to a bar shooting, Drew refuses to let anyone in until she meets a black haired boy, who is obsessed with Jerry Spinelli, in McDonalds.

"Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don't rent them out to tomorrow. [...] You're cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you're stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It's now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you'll never know."
― Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl
