Overview Kaja 2000

After being expelled, Vito starts at a new school in the city—the same school as his dream girl, Kaja 2000.
But nothing goes as he imagined. The dream girl has now become a source of frustration. Now that they’re finally in the same place, Kaja doesn’t want him anymore.

Still, Vito moves on. He makes new friends—really cool ones. A completely different kind of crowd than he’s used to. These are true hip-hop heads: they rap, do graffiti, spend all their money on spray cans and vinyl and on other things too. Things you can’t buy over the counter. Some of them even deal a bit. But compared to the people Vito used to hang out with, they’re way less messed up.

But the past isn’t easy to shake.
Alvarez, Vito’s oldest friend, also goes to the new school—and he’s still getting into trouble. When things go sideways, Vito is the one who has to step in and save him. With help from his new crew. And from Kaja. Kaja 2000. Is he really over her?

Kaja 2000 is the raw, darkly funny, and deeply hopeful sequel to Damn Kid—a story of friendship, love, and survival in a town drowning in drugs and despair.
