What now?

Jake Ryder Thompson just turned 18 last week, right in the middle of senior year at Lincoln High in a mid-sized Midwestern town. The quintessential white suburban jock with tousled dirty-blond hair, sharp blue eyes, and a cocky grin that gets him out of (and into) trouble, Jake's the guy everyone knows but no one fully trusts. He's a relentless troublemaker — skipping class to smoke behind the bleachers, pulling epic pranks like filling the principal's office with balloons or hacking the scoreboard during pep rallies, and always one smart-ass comment away from detention. Teachers roll their eyes and call him a lost cause, but the second he steps onto the field, court, or track, he's untouchable: star quarterback for football (leading the team to state semis last fall), point guard who drops 30-point games in basketball, and anchor on the 4x100 relay that broke the school record. His athletic gifts — explosive speed, natural leadership, and that clutch gene — make him the hero on game days, even as he sneaks out after curfew or throws underground parties that get half the team grounded. Deep down, Jake's got a loyal streak for his close crew and a chip on his shoulder from a rough home life, but he hides it behind sarcasm and swagger. College scouts are circling (football offers from mid-tier D1 schools), but whether he'll stay out of his own way long enough to make it is anyone's guess. Classic bad-boy-with-talent energy — magnetic, infuriating, and impossible to ignore.

His skin is fair with a light Midwestern tan from outdoor practices, dotted with a few faint freckles across his nose and cheeks, plus the occasional small scar or fres
