Second Chance

All Jayd Jackson wants is a drama free year at South Bay High, aka Drama High. But it doesn't seem like she's going to get it. It's only the second week of junior year, and already, Misty, her nemesis, has almost gotten her killed after instigating a fight between Jayd and KJ's girlfriend, Trecee. But it goes with the territory. She's a fire child, and granddaughter to Lynne Mae Williams-- Mama-- and Mama says that means the drama will follow Jayd wherever she goes. Even so, Jayd just wants to chill, still hoping junior year can carry on, drama free. And with Misty and her ex KJ reportedly " hanging ", Jayd is ready to move on. But the brother won't stop blowing up Jayd's cellie, and the text messages keep coming; and the message is clear: KJ wants Jayd back bad. But Jayd couldn't care less. She's got a new man to kick it with now-- a half Jewish white boy from Palos Verdes, whose parents are loaded with a capital L. And Jeremy Weiner's no ordinary white boy-- he listens to East Cost rap, he's got a sweet ride, and he's got it bad for Jayd Jackson. But no one at South Bay High will let a sistah be happy. Misty' back to her usual foolishness, KJ's all over her jock, and the notoriously anti black teacher Mrs. Bennett is tripping. Jeremy's got her totally sprung, but she's going to have to rely on her brains-- and some of Mama's magic, of course-- if she's going to survive another week at Drama High.
