Max Sommers was a poor homeless boy with a plan. His parents died in a car accident that left him penniless and ugly. He needs $120,000 dollars in a years time or he'll be scarred for life(haha. wordplay) Gabrielle Johnson was one of the smartest girls in school. Even though she isn't rich, she has big plans for herself and her latest inventions. Her father wants to be a journalist but can't find anything to write about but UFOs(DUUUDEE! What if he wrote I Am Number Four. That'd be amazing!!!) Everyone calls him crazy and stays away from Gabrielle... Everyone but Max.
