Across town Mark Van-Durn was just finishing his third homework assignment of the night. Time had escaped him and it was now extremely early in the following morning. He too was facing a dilemma. At 18 years old he felt as though he had accomplished nothing in life. Yes, he was extremely intelligent in Maths and the sciences but truthfully felt something was amiss in his life. The pursuit of his knowledge had led towards a lonely path. It was this reason that he had began to put on some weight and did not care for his own disheveled appearance.
Never to admit his feelings to others his thoughts kept returning to his jealousy of Stephanie Haverston the cheer captain and homecoming queen at school. She had everything in life that he was looking for; popularity, gorgeous looks and a killer body rather than being a loner nerd
"If only I could have a life like Stephanie's" he thought.
It was at this point he too witnessed the wishing star in the night's sky. He thought It was a peculiar sight as meteors were very rare. Though through tiredness he decided that it would be best to investigate alien conspiracy theories in the morning.
Thinking nothing more of it he slowly drifted to sleep for a fresh new day.
