It is the mid-1990s in Adelaide and the final year of high school for Noah and Sadie.
Sadie is usually just a reserve in basketball but Noah doesn’t mind; the chance to be benched next to the quiet girl with the low ponytail and the tattered Bugs Bunny scrunchie is the whole reason he joined the team, after all.
High school is nearly over. But Noah and Sadie feel more lost than ever; until they find each other, sitting on the bench.

I’m fascinated by the notion that someone our age can already be so adamant about who they are when everyone else is trying so hard to fit in. My mum still makes me eat cheese sticks so I get enough calcium.
