Merlyn Parks is a hard girl to deal with. She is what you may call a nerd with attitude; she hates teachers, she lacks manners, she is plain rude, she is hot headed, she is quite antisocial, she hates children. But under all that is the sweetest girl on earth, a girl that just wants to feel loved again, a girl that would do anything to help the little friends she has, a girl that would do anything to fix what she calls a family. Let's just say that she isn't perfect.
Benjamin Carrdiff is what you call a badboy; troublesome, quite smart, egotistic, good looking, annoying, a player, rude, has a hard past, hates his father, does drugs, and hates everyone around him apart from those two best friends he has.
See how these two clash. Will they fix each other? or will they just cause more damage?
Read on to find out what happens.
Yo, bitches! Steal my book and I'll cut off your pinkie toe!

𝙆𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧 knows what it means to fight for survival. With three younger siblings to protect and an abusive father threatening to pull them under, basketball is more than just a dream-it's his escape. Every game is a shot at freedom, a chance to leave the shadows behind and build a future far from the chaos that has defined his life.
𝙃𝙖𝙯𝙚𝙡 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 is the picture of perfection-or so the world believes. Driven by the crushing weight of trying to live up to her family's reputation, she excels in everything she does. But behind her polished exterior lies a girl unravelling, haunted by a past she can't forget and the relentless fear that she'll never be enough, no matter how hard she tries.
They hate each other
He's a scholarship kid from the Southside
She's the daughter of a billionaire
They have nothing in common
