The first time B met Jamie Shaw, she literally fell flat on her face. Running with her best friend Jenna around a lake, she crashed into him-brown hair, lean build, soaked white shirt clinging to his chest. Before B could even call dibs, Jenna was already scolding him, her fiery personality immediately catching Jamie's attention. Within days, they were officially together, and B was forced to watch helplessly as the boy who made her heart race fell for her gorgeous best friend instead. Unlike Jenna's previous boyfriends, Jamie made genuine efforts to include B in their activities. Their connection deepened when he unexpectedly joined her for surfing, revealing their shared dreams of attending college in California. When B's car broke down, Jamie offered to drive her everywhere, establishing a routine that brought them dangerously closer. On Christmas Eve, with Jenna out of town, they shared an intimate moment that nearly led to a kiss. When B asked if he would have texted Jenna instead if she hadn't been away, his response-"Don't make me answer that"-stung deeply, highlighting the forbidden nature of their growing connection.
