I'll bounce this idea by you, tell me if you approve.

Another idea is that my character happens to be a gay schoolboy who who writes the widely read gossip blog followed by a large chunk of the school. So yeah, he's got a nose for juicy stuff. He decides to do a piece on the most desirable boys in the school, in which your character's name pops up.
For that, he needs to get a little close to van Leer to know what he'll be writing about, and what a large number of students would be eagerly waiting for.
Of course Jack is in contempt of the rather frivolous content of the blog. A relationship develops, nonetheless.
That's just a very tabloid romantic idea I threw at you. What do you say?
