"What's your name?"
"Why ya talkin' to mi?"
"Because I want to. Now, what's your name?"
"You don't need ta know dat."

"Why you askin' meh a lotta questions?"
"Maybe I want to know who you are."
"Maybe.. I don't want you ta know who I am."
"But-"
"You done nah? The teacher is talking."
"Can you just tell me what your name is, girl next door?"
"Robyn. Now turn around, gal. I'm trying ta work."
After seemingly escaping her problems from her previous life, 17-year old basketball player, Robyn Fenty, moves to Santa Monica, California. New start. New high school. New people... new problems.
17-year old dancer Onika Tanya Maraj, commonly known as Nicki, wonders who is the girl next door. Nicki sees that the girl doesn't talk, and when she does, she's rude. She lives alone and she seems to love basketball. The mysterious girl somehow wows her and she vows to learn more about her.
But for a girl who has a hidden past and won't let anyone get to her, what happens when their paths cross one day?
Order is everything. Her habits aren't quirks, they're survival techniques. And only three people in the world have permission to touch her: Mom, Dad, Fernando.
Then Lando Norris happens.
One moment. One line crossed. No going back.
