Life isn't easy for a growing, 16 year old, black girl. School, family, friends, she's trying to get her life together, before it even begins.
This is no love story. It's about maturity, and perseverance. It's about making something out of absolutely nothing. Investing in one's self, and depending on no one. Not even those that been with you your entire life.
That doesn't mean that along the journey, you cannot make fun of a serious situation once in a while.
Join us as we watch our dear June, bloom into adulthood. From torturous dares, to life changing decisions.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
