When Jake starts his new school he decides to throw off his old image of 'the shy one' - from now on it's Mr Cool. He drinks strong coffee (although he finds it gross), smokes cigarettes (which make him choke) and invents a wild sex life. He even manages to seduce, Ella, the most attractive girl in his class - but when it comes to the crunch will he be able to go the whole way?
