You really didn’t mean to bump into him in the hallway. Honestly, you didn’t even know it was Jake—Sim Jake, your brother’s best friend, the senior who thinks he owns the school.

“You good, junior?” he’d smirked, raising his arm before ruffling your hair. Annoying right?

That’s how it’s always been with Jake. Too calm. Too touchy. Too close to your brother to completely ignore.

But lately… things are shifting. You catch him looking at you when he thinks you’re not paying attention. He asks if you’ve eaten, offers you half his fries like it’s no big deal.

He’s still a cocky guy who gets annoys you to death. But the way he smiled at you last Friday? Not a smirk, not a cocky grin, a genuine smile. That made you feel some type of way.
