He sleeps his way through girls. JoLynn has a giant crush on Jake and hides it from him.

Jake is an asshole to everyone except his friends and his siblings. JoLynn admires him from afar and wishes Jake would notice her, but she's invisible to him. Jake finally sees her and is attracted, but unsure if he should pursue as he has become friends with JoLynn's brother Brendon. Jake never sleeps with the same girl twice except Stacey the head cheerleader. Jake does not cuddle or stay the night. Jake is known as the school's playboy along with his best friends Nick and Jacob.

Intro

It's a bright and beautiful Saturday morning as the UHAUL pulls into the driveway. JoLynn and her family are moving into Westview. The house is a beautiful two story light gray home with slate stone accents. Next door is an off white two story home with sandstone accents. Both homes with attached two car garages. A willow tree separates the front two yards and a white fence separates the two backyards.

The UHAUL pulls into the driveway of the gray home and behind it a Bikini Pearl 4door Jeep Wrangler and a white Chevrolet Tahoe. Shortly behind a white Chevrolet Silverado 1500 parks along the curb in front of the mailbox. JoLynn climbs out of her Jeep with her sister Lyn and they start bringing boxes and small items inside the house. Linda, their mother starts unpacking the boxes as they come inside. Brendon and Jason, their stepdad, start unloading the heavy furniture from the UHAUL.

Inside the white house, Jake is asleep, still recovering from last night's party, in his bedroom directly across from JoLynn's new room over the fence. He is shirtless and laying face down in his pillows scrawled across his bed. Jared is already outside in the backyard with Sadie practicing soccer kicks. His parents Lucas and Elena are in the kitchen making breakfast and reading the paper.
