A messy, soft-hearted, and painfully relatable teen romance that follows 16-year-old Khalil Anderson-a Black gay high school sophomore just trying to survive Algebra, avoid eye contact with his ex, and maybe not have a full breakdown every time his crush walks into the room.
Khalil's got a ride-or-die friend group, an ex who won't stay in the past, and a new crush-Da'Shaun Banks, the effortlessly cool basketball star who doesn't even know his name (yet). Between lunch table drama, silent stares, and emotional spirals on the walk home, Khalil's world is one chaotic playlist of "what ifs," awkward silences, and hope he swears he's not holding onto.
It's queer. It's awkward. It's dramatic. And it all starts... because of a boy he liked.
