"He drinks Daniels at the bar, drives his daddy's Jaguar, rocking clothes with wills on the tags. Yeah, he's all up in your face want to put him in his place but right now I'd rather be Jack."
Imagine having to watch the girl you love fall for someone else, well your childhood best friend who's now become your worst nightmare. It's bad, right? It's worse than bad. To have him dangle her around like a jewel or a ribbon, treat her like a prize, and she's so beautifully naive she doesn't realize what he's doing. But then thinking again why would she want me? He has his life handed to him on a golden platter, and yeah I may be wealthy but who cares when you're an orphan. He has the cliche good looks, he's the varsity quarterback, he gets the girls when I scare them away. All good reasons for why I'd rather be Jack.
Austin Mallory was just another troubled teen in the bunch, well a bit more troubled than the usual, "why is my body changing?" Troubled. His parents and twin died a couple years ago, leaving Austin with no parents and a shattered life. Yet still, he drags himself ups out of bed every day and proceeds with life, he's doing ok when yet again God throws him a curveball and his ex-best friend is suddenly betraying him once again by dating his seventh-grade crush. Austin's about to give up when something or should we say SOMEONE reaches out to him after finding him alone on the football field after being abandoned by her boyfriend and her ride. Austin's baffled. Before that night, she could barely even look at him without breaking into a fit of sobs, She'd always ran away from him. The girl knows she's messed up in the past, she knows she needs to stop running from her problems like her mother makes her run around the town, but she doesn't know how to fix this. She accidentally leads him on then cuts him off, and whenever she's not with Austin she's with her boyfriend, which is everywhere in public. He's got it going for him whereas Austin... Well, Austin doesn't. Giving him just another reason to rather be Jack.
