Apparently, mystery guy's name is Tony Fernandez, and he is Faith's best friend slash love of her life from the foster system that she hasn't seen in years because she was adopted.

Now, he's back and is enrolled in their school. Jayden has to play lacrosse with him, too.

Go figure.

Mark—his obnoxious, annoying one year older brother— ia also half in love with Julia, who has been coming over to their house to hang out with Jayden because Will and Lucy have started dating, and neither of them want to be the third wheel.

So then there's that, and it's weird because it makes Julia really uncomfortable when they're lounging in his living room watching a movie and Mark suddenly sweeps in carrying a batch of homemade cookies and professing his eternal love for her.

Not okay.

Jayden kind of despises his older brother, sometimes.

Mark doesn't seem to mind Julia's multiple rejections at all, claiming that she's just trying to test his love.

What.

The.

Hell.

And it is all Jayden can do not to scowl and throttle in brother. Instead, he removes his frustrations—about Faith and her boyfriend, about Mark and his attempts—on the video games he and Will likes to play.

He doesn't stop to think why the frustration over Julia matches his for Faith.
