FULL SUMMARY

Chapter 1: Jak's heart

We meet Jak, a popular, yet not the most popular guy in school. He is described as an average 15-year-old with dark hair and blue eyes. Jak's two main interests are music and comic books. Although he is able to play the guitar, he stumbles a bit when asked about his future ambitions, as he is too shy to confess that he cultivates a dream of becoming a musician and writing his own songs.

This chapter also presents us with an imaginative illustration of Jak's heart. His heart, as of yet, unaware that an extraordinary event is about to happen.

In the midst of Afrikaans class, there is a knock on the door - a seemingly ordinary event. The school principal, Mr. Brink, steps in to introduce a new student, Natasja Vermaak to the tenth-grade class. Everyone is stunned and silent as their eyes land on the flawless new girl. She captivates the class with her blonde hair, sparkling white smile, bright blue eyes, and striking long legs – drawing a playful connection to her potential to star in shampoo, toothpaste, swimming pool, or sock advertisements.

Natasja's gaze travels through the class, and then locks on to Jak, offering him a warm smile. In this moment, time seems to stand still for Jak. He is spellbound, unable to blink, his throat tightens and somewhere in the silence of that moment, Jak realises that he has lost his heart to Natasja.
