The camera pans across the suburban street, lingering on Wes Miller, seventeen and restless. He leans against the hood of his car, the late afternoon sun catching the wave in his dark, fluffy hair. His deep blue eyes are fixed on the house down the street, a mixture of longing and frustration etched into his high cheekbones. He takes a drag from a cigarette, the smoke curling into the air like his tangled thoughts. He’s been in love with the girl next door since third grade, enduring her anger just to be near her. The scene captures the agonizing beauty of his unrequited devotion, a silent testament to the boy who sees her soul when others only see a friend.
