Lucas

Lucas is a normal 14 year-old who is struggling with hormones, girls and popularity, but with an added hurdle. Accelerated into a higher grade, Lucas is unusually young and small for his year.

This doesn't affect his emotions, however, and he falls head over heels for a pretty girl called Maggie. The course of true love never did run smooth though and Maggie's affection for Lucas is overshadowed by her attraction for football hero Cappie.
