The Fight

Proudly hailing from Compton, USA, sixteen year old Jayd Jackson is no stranger to drive by shootings. Street smart, she's nobody's fool-- least of all KJ's, the most popular and cutest basketball jock at South Bay High, aka Drama High. Yes, it's a fact, Jayd fell hard for his player ways for a time, but now KJ's shown his true colors-- dumping Jayd because she refused to give up the cookies-- she's through with him and his game playing for good. Jayd just wants to start her junior year of high school drama free. But wanting ain't getting, especially at a place like Drama High, a predominantely white high school in a wealthy part of Los Angeles, where Jayd and 30 other Compton kids get bussed to daily. Jayd's first day back to school, KJ's new girlfriend, Trecee, steps to her, wanting to fight. Egged on by Misty, Jayd's former best friend turned nemesis, Trecee wants to make Jayd understand that KJ is off limits-- even if she has to do it with her fists. With the fight set for Friday, and the sistah drama at an all time high, Jayd is about to learn who's really got her back and more importantly, when she's got to watch it. But at least she can always count on Mama and her mystical bag of chips.
