Aaron Wayne is the popular rich kid and star on the soccer field, though he struggles with academics as well as a bad home life. He has an emotionally abusive mother who drinks too much and an absent father who always berates his son whenever he is around, expecting him to be perfect and not embarrass the family. He had a stint in juvie and never has more than a casual fling, usually lasting between one night to a week, because he doesn't want to let anyone in. He's spontaneous, brave, and smart in his own ways. He can pick things up about people easily. While he could pass his classes, he struggles with motivation as he thinks he'll never get anywhere in life. He focuses on the here and now, and while he can be exciting, he never thinks about "tomorrow" and all that comes with it.
