Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Maria-Marisol Alejandro is a 17 year old hispanic girl living in the run down part of East La aka Spanish Harlem. She lives with her abusive father, older sister, niece and little brother. She's known as the prettiest yet shyest girl in town. She doesn't have the best life but somehow manages to push through the dirty, cruel streets of El Barrio.
What will happen when one day she meets a boy who is in a cruel gang? Will their love concur or will they just be broken down by the East Harlem streets?
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
