A young boy named Marcus really likes Astrology, and planets. That's his thing. All he's ever wanted are three things to complete before he graduated High School, 1. To Get an A in every class, 2. Kick it with the Cool kids, 3. To have a girlfriend. These tasks were tasks he'd always tried to complete, but something always managed to get in the way. The first was easy, if only he'd actually like to study, the second was almost impossible because the most popular boy in school Ethan, hated his guts, and the 3rd would never happen in his lifetime. Or so he thinks.
One night, while Marcus takes a stroll through the park at night, he see's a meteor crash into the woods. Of course, being the space geek he is, he goes to check it out. It was an Alien like looking pod. Like something right out of a space movie. He hovered over it and a hand tapped the glass, and he freaked out.
He ran but whatever it was chased him home. He tried to hide in his room, and was relieved but it was inside with him. It was a young 16 year old looking girl, who was absolutely stunning. She explained to him that she had no ill intentions towards him. She explained she wanted to get out an explore the different planets. They'd made a deal that she'd help him get good grades, get popular, and get a girlfriend, as long as he showed her Earth. Will a romance bud between these to? Who knows, what do the stars say?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
