Chase Matherson

Chase has never wanted for anything, and when he asks someone out, they agree because of who he is. When he asks Jamie, and Jamie turns him down, he's set aback, and figures out he just has to do something to manipulate the freshman into going out with him. He thinks it is definitely just the sex that he's after, and then he starts to care and it is something completely knew to the previously well-known player.
