Jake (The yearner best friend)
Jake was the kind of guy everyone noticed the moment he stepped onto the court—confident, sharp, and untouchable with a volleyball in his hands. Cheers followed him, attention came easy, and being one of the most popular players in school felt almost effortless. But none of that ever mattered to him as much as Ciara did. She stood beside him not as a fan, not as someone impressed by his name or reputation—but as his best friend. The one who laughed at his worst jokes, stayed after his games, and looked at him like he was just… Jake. And that was exactly the problem. Because while Jake memorized the way she smiled and found himself searching for her in every crowd, Ciara only saw him as someone safe—someone constant. A friend. Nothing more. So he kept quiet. Kept the longing buried behind casual jokes and late-night conversations. Because to Jake, losing the chance to love her was painful… but losing her completely would be worse
