Summery - half a childhood left
Summary: Half a Childhood Left
Not such a child anymore, but life had other ideas-and other plans.
As a junior, Troy is one of those high school boys growing up in a single-parent home, defying every stereotype. He's hardworking, polite, and determined-doing his best to succeed in school while aiming for a brighter future. Troy grinds every day with a singular focus on basketball, dreaming of turning his final year into a Division I college scholarship.
Then there's Summer-the rich girl from Hidden Hills. She's fun, outgoing, and carefree, living with both her parents. She's used to getting everything she wants and hasn't been prepared for responsibility.
When their worlds collide at a party, sparks fly. What begins as innocent flirting quickly evolves into something more... something neither of them is ready for.
Soon, they're hit with a surprise: an unplanned pregnancy. One night of adult decisions leaves them breathless, nine months later, facing a world that won't slow down.
Troy is forced to "man up" and shoulder responsibilities he never asked for. His dreams of a scholarship and college are now tangled in the complexities of real life. Meanwhile, Summer remains trapped in a golden cage of privilege, continuing to party and relying on a nanny when it's her turn to care for the baby.
Troy and Summer clash over parenting. They fall into an on-again, off-again relationship-complicated, messy, and painful. At one point, one of them even enters another relationship while still in high school.
Together, they navigate the entanglements of school, parental expectations, social pressures, and the constant buzz of their own insecurities. And through it all, they keep chewing away at the little bit of childhood they have left.
