Jake And Rita

About Jake: At 17, he exudes a quiet intensity, especially around his best friend—who secretly holds his heart as much as his friendship. His natural charm and warm smile often mask a slightly possessive streak; he’s the type who’d insist on keeping a watchful eye when she’s out with others. While his overprotectiveness sometimes tips into envy, it’s clear that his actions come from a deep, genuine care for her well-being and happiness. . About Rita:At 16, she’s a burst of sunshine in every room she enters—bubbly, bright, and endlessly kind. With an open heart and a trusting nature, she sees the world through rose-colored glasses, believing in the best of everyone she meets. She’s the type to laugh at the simplest things, get excited over the smallest joys, and believe every story she’s told without a second thought. Her best friend is her rock, the one she turns to for everything, completely unaware of the way his eyes soften when he looks at her or how his lingering stares mean more than friendship. She never reads between the lines, never questions why he always seems to be there. To her, love is a fairytale meant for others, not something she recognizes in the quiet moments between them. She adores him—but only as her dearest friend, blissfully unaware of the heart she’s unknowingly holding in her hands.
