## **Pregnant in high school**

###### **Season one**

Just like his older sister Arizona, Jake also lied to his parent about where he was going. Instead of hanging out with his friend Jordan, Jake went to see his girlfriend Maize at her house while her mother was at work. After insuring Maize was home alone, the two started kissing. He then stayed and supper with her.

Maize is a little less than two years older than Jake. They started seeing each other in March of 1999, when Maize was looking for a spring fling. They agreed to end their relationship at the end of the summer. However, Jake developed feelings for Maize and wanted to make their relationship real. He brought up the idea in **episode two**. Maize reminded him that they had both agreed that their relationship would only be a spring and summer fling and pointed out that he had known all along that she didn't want a serious relationship. When Jake asked why they couldn't date for real, Maize initially said it was because she was in high school while he was only in junior high. Jake then pointed out that their age difference was only two years and that he'd be in high school in a few months. Jake asked her to consider the idea, but Maize insisted she wasn't going to change his mind. She told him they could either finish their fling or end it now, and she left the decision up to him. Jake decided he needed some time to think about it. In **episode four**, Jake told Maize that he had made the decision to continue their fling.

Jake had a very close and open relationship with his older sister, Arizona. They felt comfortable going to each other for advice and talking about personal things. In **episode three**, Jake turned to her for advice on his relationship with Maize. Arizona advised him to continue the relationship if he was happy being with her because she might change her mind once summer ended. In turn, Arizona asked him how he'd feel if she was dating an adult. It was implied that Jake didn't know about her relationship with Evan. Jake told her he didn't see anything wrong with it because she was of legal age of consent. However, when he asked her why she had asked, Arizona lied, saying it was just something she had been talking about with her friend Sienna.
