Bio: Jake is a very athletic student who is captain of most of the sports teams Magika Academy has to offer and is very popular though he doesn't let it get to his head. He's incredibly kind and will go out of his way to talk to the more shy people around school especially if they're being picked on by others. His element of choice is fire and he loves going out to the woods behind the school and make bonfires with his friends.

Jake is soundly sleeping after a great night of celebrating his Broomstick relay team's 8th win in a row, although he had no intention of staying awake until 3 hours before he's supposed to go to class. Suddenly he's blasted with a rush of water to the face. His Assistant Captain and roommate Riley looks at him disappointed yet amused.

"Wake up Infernio, you have class starting in 3 minutes and if you're late again coach says you'll have to spend our next practice in detention!" Riley yelled in a barking tone. "Don't think you could have done that a few minutes earlier? Now I have to sprint to class and not eat any breakfast!" Jake grumbles in a half asleep voice. "Now what would be the fun in that? plus the running will keep you in shape for tomorrow night against Nakamura's squad." Riley chuckles. Jake grabs his bag in one fluid motion and runs out the door as fast as he can determined to get inside the classroom just as the tardy bell rings.

Miss Frizzle, in her 21st year teaching the Pyro-glyphics class walks to the door to close it when suddenly she's startled by a yell from the hallway. "Don't close the door, I'm here!!" Jake dives into the classroom and says in an exhausted but calm tone "Sorry about that, Mr. Woodsbury wanted to congratulate me on the win last night and made me late" Miss Frizzle looks him in the eyes and can tell immediately that it was a lie. "you do know that being tardy again means you'll have to spend tomorrow morning in detention right?" Jake's skin begins to turn white knowing how important it is to him that he makes it to practice. "Is there any way you could let this slide? I promise to never be tardy again and I really need to be at practice tomorrow!"

"Just this one last time Jake, or else I'll have to report you to the Headmaster" Miss Frizzle says in a scolding tone. "Thank you Miss Frizz, you're the best!" Jake exclaims. "Now take a seat so we can begin, we're at capacity today but I see that Iris's bag is taking the last available spot." Miss Frizzle says while returning to her desk. Jake slowly approaches Iris with a shy grin on his face. "Hey is it okay if i sit beside you?"

Jake quietly takes the seat feeling slightly ashamed knowing that it upset Iris, he glances over to her but she looks away and wont even look him in the eyes. Jake takes this as a sign that Iris doesn't like him very much and stays quiet. As the class progressed he wanted to make her know that he was very thankful that she moved her bag for him so he looked at her and gave a shy smile. He noticed that her cheeks may have flushed slightly, but he wasn't entirely sure. Near the end of the class Jake was trying to think of something to say to her, but didn't want to come on too strong. "Psst" Jake whispers terrified. "Hey I was wondering if I could treat you to a coffee or something after class to make up for today?"

Jake was relieved to hear she wasn't as upset as he originally thought. "That's a relief, I'm usually not the best at first impressions as you can see and I've actually been wanting to talk to you for awhile now Iris, but it never seemed like the right time." Jake immediately analyzes every part of what he just said and worries that he may have come on a little too strong. "Actually I'm kind of starving, I didn't eat breakfast this morning so if you're interested maybe we could grab some lunch or something? I'll treat." Jake says in a relaxed tone with a confident smile, when in reality he's having a nervous breakdown.

He stands there thinking of every little thing he could be doing to blow it. "Do I have good posture? Am I still smelly from running here without a shower? Did she have a big breakfast and isn't even hungry?" Every millisecond feels like an hour as he awaits Iris's response.

Jake knew he'd find a way to blow it, she seems different than any of the other girls he has had an interest in which only made this rejection hurt that much more. "Oh yeah for sure, I guess I'll see you around then." Jake says in a positive tone trying to make it seem like he wasn't that upset over it. Jake leaves the class and he swings by the cafeteria for a quick slice of pizza before heading to the back woods of the school where he likes to invite his friends to sit around a fire and hang out, but this time he went by himself and needed time to be alone and think.

Jake sat by the fire and pondered why no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get Iris out of his head. He'd never had problems talking to girls before, and whenever he got a rejection it wouldn't bother him at all, but this time he felt so defeated and embarrassed that he made such a fool of himself by asking her out like that. "Of course she said no, I came bursting in late like an Idiot and probably smelled terrible" he muttered to himself as he looked into the blazing fire.

Suddenly he hears the sound of glass shattering back at the school and quickly puts out his fire and goes to investigate. All the windows appeared to be shattered on the third floor and he could tell that there was some misuse of magic going on. Jake rushes up the winding staircase and into the hall where he sees two girls dueling using a powerful variant of wind magic and tries to intervene before someone gets hurt. "Hey, break it up before one of you..!" Jake steps a little too close to the fight and is blasted backwards right into one of the schools trophy cases nearly knocking him unconscious, the glass shatters and gives him several small cuts on his cheek and neck. "THAT IS ENOUGH!" Bellows a powerful and intimidating voice, It was the headmaster of Magika Academy.

Jake slowly snaps out of his half unconscious state and looks over at Iris approaching him, "You think this is bad you should've seen me in the regional finals last year, at least those girls weren't throwing fireballs!" he chuckles while getting off the ground and on his feet. Iris giggles as Jake stands up a little fast without realizing he's still quite dizzy from the blast and stumbles.

Iris looks at him worried and he knows that maybe she cared more for him than he thought. "Thanks for checking up on me though, and sorry for putting you on the spot there earlier I shouldn't have been so forward. Jake starts to slowly make his way down the hall but notices his balance is really off and worries he may have suffered a concussion from hitting his head.

Jake was impressed at Iris strength in being able to support him with ease. "Thanks Iris but let's take the long way around so we don't have to pass the Athletics wing, don't want word getting around I may be injured." While they walked he thought back to his last major injury and how the girl he was seeing at the time didn't even bother visiting him in the infirmary.

They eventually made it to the nurses office, "Thank you so much Iris, I really owe you one for this so don't hesitate to ask if you need anything at all." he said with a sincere smile. Jake looked into Iris's radiant purple eye and almost got lost in its beauty, "I like the green makeup by the way, it really makes your purple eye pop."

Jake was ecstatic to hear that "awesome" Iris left to get the nurse and as soon as she left the room let out a hushes "Yes!" He couldn't believe the roller coaster of emotions he'd been through so far today but felt his luck was finally turning around. Then he snapped back into the reality of the situation, if this is any more than a minor injury he could miss morning practice tomorrow or worse the game that night!

Jake sits in the office in absolute fear as Iris returns with the nurse. "Mr Infernio, Iris here told me you took a heck of a bump" she said in a neutral tone. "Yeah but the pain only seemed to be temporary and we came just as a precaution because my balance was a bit off, but I'm actually feeling a lot better now" Jake said knowing that his head was still pounding from the incident. "Miss Adrena could you excuse us for a few minutes, I need to run a few tests on Jake but you're more than welcome to wait in one of the chairs outside." said the nurse. Jake became even more worried knowing these tests were more important than any of the academic tests he'd taken in a long time.
