I’m trying to remember the name of a book I read about 6-8 years ago. I was about 10-12 at the time and my mum gave it to me so it must’ve been a YA book. I think the cover was orange with a drawing of a tree.

It was about this poor (black?) boy (his name started with an A?) who started dating a rich blonde, (older?) girl from his school. They went to a fairground and she tried to convince him to do drugs (he said no?), but she took them and died. The police thought the boy was a drug dealer who had killed her. I’m also pretty sure the boy had an older brother who had been arrested before or something like that.

I don’t think I ever finished it so this might be the start/first half of the plot.
