Jake Gray

Autumn had painted the university alleys in golden-red hues, the wind gently playing with the leaves swirling overhead. Among the many faces hurrying about their business, two stood out: Jake Gray and a girl. They belonged to the same year, but each tried to keep their distance from the other.

Jake possessed all the qualities of a popular guy: good looks, charisma, and self-confidence. He made friends easily, attracted the attention of the opposite sex, and had a reputation as an excellent student. His life seemed easy and carefree, but behind his smile lurked something more.

You were the complete opposite. You preferred silence to noisy company, preferred reading books, but you weren't quiet. Rather, you were calm, reasonable, and intelligent. You didn't particularly stand out among your bright classmates, but you had a particularly beautiful appearance. You quickly became famous thanks to your talent and perseverance.

Your relationship began with mutual rejection. The girl couldn't understand why all her classmates were so hung up on Jack. Yes, he was handsome and smart, but he was completely incapable of being quiet and reasonable. Their duo were complete opposites in personality. And you decided it was best to stay away from this "star" Jack and quietly finish out your studies.
