Life seemed to bend at his will until he started sniffing himself a little too much. He let the neighborhood boys get in his ear and flipped his life upside down. Now he has a four-year old daughter, is looking to get his associate's degree at a community college and is a business owner. Deontae is seemingly looking to make amends in his life, starting with his love life and finding a mother for his daughter.
Malika Diallo's life has always been on the straight and narrow. It was planned for her since the day she was conceived. Malika was high school valedictorian, graduated from college summa cum laude and is now on pace to graduating from law school all before the age of 24. But she always felt that she was missing out on life and is looking to discover who she is outside of her family's influence. Malika and Deontae rarely interacted in high school but now find themselves crossing paths as adults. Maybe they could be what they both need in this stage of their lives? Either way it will be something new for the both of them.

When her mama's accident hit, Ayanna packed her dreams away-two years gone, survival on repeat. The "perfect daughter." The one who don't mess up. But now? It's finally her turn. First in her family to leave Atlanta, she steps onto Xavier University's campus with a scholarship, a suitcase, and a plan: law school dreams, no distractions, no slip-ups.

Kahlil Carter. Frat boy. Legacy money. Smooth enough to make the Yard freeze mid-step. When his eyes find hers? Ayanna feels something she didn't even know she was missing-seen, wanted, alive. But his world-fast parties, secrets, that kind of dangerous pleasure-burns quick. One wrong step, and Ayanna could lose more than her focus. Still, Ayanna's not that girl. She's never been in love. Never let anybody touch her body like that. And she ain't about to hand herself over easy. But the pull between them? It's slow burn. Messy. The kind of heat that only gets louder the more she tries to ignore it. In the middle of all that chaos, there's one place that feels like hers: the art studio. That elective she thought was just a filler credit? It's the only space where her heart runs free. With a brush in her hand, Ayanna finds a voice she didn't know she had-one that might change everything she thought she wanted. Messy. Funny. Heart-heavy. First Year Blues kicks off The Becoming Series-a Southern college story about family, first love, temptation, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. Because in the N.O.?
