They were even friends at one time, but something happened between Cade and her twin brother, Craig, that completely changed their relationship, and they won't talk about it.

When Rachel is thrown together with him in French class, she begins to realize there's more to him than just his tough image. But Craig doesn't approve of her new-found interest in Cade, claiming it's not safe for Rachel.
