A coming of age story set in Miami, 1995. Lauren Jauregui is a high school senior who is all about softball, music records, getting stoned, rolling with the "burnouts", and although she does extremely well in school she doesn't see a future for herself the way the adults around her do. Karla Camila Cabello is the girl-next-door almost everyone crushes on, sucks terribly in school, is secretly drawn to the "burnouts" although her clique is the "preppy" cheerleaders/jocks who can sometimes get a little rowdy, and her only ambition in life is to get the hell out of Miami to be an actress on the west coast. Both girls have boyfriends although they are closeted lesbians, and both try to navigate through the difficulty of discovering/living with their sexuality and wanting to be with each other + the risk of seeing each other in secret to avoid social damnation and shaming from their cliques as a result of the widely homophobic/close minded county they reside in. Will they figure it all out before graduation comes? Will their lives stay on the same path after graduation or will they part ways and accept that some things just aren't meant to work out and last?

[DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MORE THAN ONE SHIP] [WARNING: FOR MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY!!!] Lauren Jauregui is the leader of South Miami's street gang "Los Carnales" that she started with her brother, Chris, and has been since the death of her parents at age 15. Still young and still having a lot to learn, she runs her crew successfully and values the family that comes with it; a lot of them do. In a world rotten and evil, full of gun violence, kidnappings, toxic religious practices, drug trafficking, manipulation, death, etc, it can be very easy to lose herself in it all. But when she lays eyes on the purest thing and touches the sweetest soul in Miami...Lauren can't help but pursue Candy Estrabao despite her flaws & faults she discovers along the way and despite falling for another woman as they continue evolving as teenagers into adulthood. The catch was...she was the sister of #1 rival gang leader, Luca Estrabao. And God help anyone who ever came remotely close to his sister. [G!P] [Lauren+Alexa Demie+Camila/Camren & Laurexa]
