17 year olds are typically focused on college. And their SAT scores that they've been waiting for since forever ago.
So are Jessica and Cora. More than everyone else and only in each other, though.
Seeing who gets the higher score, higher grades, whoever gets accepted into the lowest acceptance rate college, it determines their moods for the rest of the day.
Rivals, but when Cora finds out a secret about Jessica's family life, she realizes the way she's handling it isn't just because she wants her in the best shape for the next test they have to take.
It's because she loves her. And she has. For years.
And when Jessica's faced with a life changing altercation with Cora, she realizes she loves her just as much.
But will the two ever get over their rivalry and admit it?

His best friend Eden is having problems with her boyfriend and Danae slowly develops feelings for her. They hang out and play video games once a week, which is the highlight of his weeks. He doesn't want to jeopardise his friendship by telling Eden he has romantic feelings for her, until he gives in shortly after their shared kiss.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary.
