I was zooming past states for about three hours. I turned to look up at the sky and smiled at the beauty of the stars. We didn't have stars back at Zyphlon. I was too busy looking at the stars, that I wasn't watching were I was going. My foot got caught in a branch of a very tall tree and soon I started tumbling into more trees. I crashed into one more small tree before getting stuck into it.

"Crap." I whispered harshly and started untangling myself from the branches.

I was laying in my bed, unable to sleep. I was thinking of ways to get back at the school bully, Fitz. We have been fighting a lot, after he destroyed my car for a parking spot. He just gets on my last nerves. But soon, he's going to wish he never messed with me...as soon as I think of a plan. I turned my head to look at my clock, to see what time it was. The green numbers read 5:43 a.m. I sighed as I got up and made my way downstairs for a glass of milk.

When I got to the kitchen, I took out a cup and poured milk in it. I went to go drink it in front of the small window that was above the sink. The window showed the view of a small apple tree that was in my backyard. I smiled lightly at the memories I had in that tree. It's where I spent most of my child hood.

All of a sudden, what looked like a fireball, crashed into the tree. I was so shocked that I dropped my cup at I spit my milk out. Was that really a fireball? I ran out the backdoor of my house to go check it out. The branches of the tree were shaking until a girl fell out of it and landed on her feet.

"You were on fire!" I yelled. She must have not realized I was there because she jumped at the sound of my voice. She put a hand over her heart and sighed in relief.

"You shouldn't go around scaring people like that. Is that your house?" she said pointing behind me.

"Yeah... why?" I said, completely confused.

She didn't answer me and started walking straight to my house. It was only a few seconds later that I got my feet to move and I ran after her.

"Where are you going?" I asked as soon as I got close enough.

I waited for a reply, but she walked straight into my house. I turn the lights on so I could see her better. She had curly, auburn, hair and a curvy figure. She was a little shorter than me and had the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen. She was wearing gray sweatpants with a black shirt. She was beautiful.

"I'm Clare," she stated, not realizing I was staring at her "and I'll be staying here." I crossed my arms and arched an eyebrow. Clare went over to my fridge and opened it, looking through it. I walked over to her and closed the fridge door. She looked up giving me a questioning look.

"I don't think you get to decided that. I don't even know you." I said. Who does this girl think she is?

"Then we'll get to know each other! Common, I have know where else to go." she said whining. She came over to me and gave a puppy-dog look. Her big blue eyes were staring at me, filled with hope. I mentally slapped myself for not being strong as I felt myself giving in. How could I not? She said she had no where else to go and I couldn't just throw her out on the streets. I'm not that cruel. Besides, maybe we could end up being good friends.

"Fine." I groaned.

"Yes!" she yelled. She grabbed my wrist and started pulling me towards the couch in my living room. Cece and Bullfrog are going to kill me. Clare let go of my wrists and plopped down on the couch. I sat down a few feet away from her.

"So if I'm going to be staying here, I'm kinda gonna have to know your name." Clare said. How could I forget to tell her my name? Now I feel like an idiot.

"Eli." I stated. I shifted myself trying to get comfortable on the leather couch. I feel like we're going to be here for a while.

"Well Eli, I think the perfect game to get to know each other is 20 Questions." she said simply. "You can go first." I nodded my head, knowing exactly what my first question would be.

"What are you?" I've been wanting to know since she fell out of that tree.

She told me about her super powers and how she was trapped in Texas by scientists. Wait till Adam hears this. I was totally fine about her having super powers. I found it very interesting and they made her very unique. Clare also told me about how dangerous she can get. I reminded myself to never get her mad.

We played 20 Question for another hour and we got to know a lot about each other. I told her about my best friend Adam, my feud with Fitz, and how Cece and Bullfrog were away at a concert. Clare told me more about herself and she became a little bit distant when talking about her planet, Zyphlon. She also refused to talk about her family. Clare is actually a really cool girl. I know it's a little too early for me to say that because we JUST met, but I feel connected to her.

Even though my eyes were closed, I could tell there was a bright light shining down on my face. My eyes slowly opened and I sat up. I looked around at my surroundings and noticed that I was on my couch. I was looking around for Clare, but I couldn't find her. Was last night really a dream? I was slightly disappointed. Having Clare around would've been fun, but of course, it had to be a dream. I stood up and raised my arms above my head and stretched. My neck was really stiff. I'm never sleeping on the couch again.

I was going to walk to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast, but when I took the first step, I stumbled over a lump on the floor. I looked down to see what it was that I tripped on and when I did, I immediately smiled.

Clare was on the floor, sleeping.

Last night wasn't a dream.
