B) Match her best-friend, who is only interested in the likes of Brad Pitt, with the school's soccer star. Whom her friend hates, with a passion.

Screen burn: "Where a permanent mark is burnt into the mask of the TV screen due to prolonged display." If Jake's life is a TV show, the set that plays it is afflicted with screen burn, forever displaying his character in a frozen state, unable to change. He is the nice guy who always finishes last. He is stuck being the boring, straight, white male. Mateo is a bisexual, biracial troublemaker and everything that a girl wants. Jake aims to rewrite his character to win the girl of his dreams, and Mateo is going to help him (willingly or not). #45 in Humor. [Cover by: redblacklady]
