Jacob Anderson is a 16-year-old boy, tall and slim, with jet-black hair and brown eyes, who attends high school alongside his two best friends, Axl and Anne. Though they are not popular and face discrimination, their friendship is a source of strength and comfort. Axl, an easygoing Afro-Dominican, is the jokester of the group, while Anne, sarcastic yet kind-hearted, secretly harbors a deep love for Jacob, her best friend.

Jacob's life takes a turn when Emily Green, his new neighbor, arrives. A beautiful yet melancholic girl, Emily captivates Jacob but conceals a sorrowful secret. As Jacob becomes drawn to Emily’s mystery, Anne struggles with her jealousy but chooses to help him support Emily, even if it means losing his attention.

Amidst secrets, unrequited love, and the pain of the past, the three friends must navigate the emotional trials of adolescence as they try to discover what truly matters in their lives.



Intertwined Destinies

Luckily it was my art teacher; Karla, I recognized her by her voice and because she was the only teacher who stayed late at school. 


I just stopped and bowed my head, I didn't want anyone to see me like this but what could I do? It was useless and stopping the tears at this point was like calculating an infinitesimal number or painting a masterpiece without seeing. 


I heard the sound of her shoes getting closer, she was going to see me like this anyway, it's inevitable. 


"Anne," she called again, with a soft tone and placed her hand on my shoulder. 


It was obvious she wanted me to look at her. I couldn't, my lips trembled and my vision became clouded again by new tears that threatened to come out. 


She called my name again hoping I would react, by God, of all the people I could run into, I ran into her. 


I love her class and I adore her, but I couldn't see myself like this.
