description: Meet 17—soon to be18—year old, Jaz’Zyazia Robinson, a senior at Bullard Haven High School. Jaz’Zyazia, a.k.a. Zya, is smart, beautiful, single and ready to mingle. But she’s not willing to mingle with just anyone; she has her eyes set on her neighbor, Markel Spencer. Markel Spencer is 23, and lives directly next door to Zya and her family. They’ve been neighbors since Zya was 13. She feels like she knows everything about this guy, but does she really? Now that Zya is no longer 13 and shy, she’s ready to stop crushing on Markel in secret, and let him know exactly how she’s feeling. But with all the females surrounding Markel like hungry sharks in a tank, will she get her chance? But then again, will it be Markel that finds the courage to step to young Zya? While she’s trying to deal with arising problems with her family, Markel takes the opportunity to get a little closer to Zya by being the shield from the slowly growing storm in her life. With so much going on in Zya’s life, will Zya and Markel have the chance to become closer, or will they see the end of their relationship before it even begins? Will Markel become the lover and protector she needs in her life, or will his side-chicks run her off?
