The Characters
Ben Covington
Ben is the popular guy from high school, the guy every boy wants to be and every girl wants to be with. Track star, California born, Ben is likable but seems perhaps a little overwhelmed by the realities of "real" schoolwork. Ben lives in a huge, ultracool loft in Soho with his friend Sean, who is nice enough to let Ben slide by despite his meager funds (and subsequent gambling problem, which Ben's mother helped him out of). He is handsome, of course, and likes girls a lot. Ben's most serious flaw is his trouble with commitment, a flaw that has seen many women (including Julie) come into his life, but many women leave it as well. He is somehow kind of sweet, though, not the brutish oaf one might expect.
Felicity Porter
">
Felicity, the 17-year-old daughter of a successful cardiologist, is a pre-med student who has just followed a boy across the country only to find he is not interested in her the way she had hoped. Highly emotional, excitable, and driven, Felicity is tumbling her way toward adulthood in the big city, New York. Thoughtful and adventurous, she goes through life fully feeling the sights, sounds, and activity around her. She is affected by everything and everyone. Nothing is trivial for Felicity.
