    The new, geeky kid in school gets partnered with a popular jock in biology. He believes that geeks and jocks can't be friends until this particular jock proves him wrong. And there may be something even better in the air...
        
        *****
        
        After his family moves across the country, Sky has to start his life all over again in an unfamiliar environment. Without any friends or people who shares his passion for nature, he believes he is facing a lonely life, until he is being partnered with a popular athlete, Max, in biology.
        
        Becoming friends with Max is more than Sky could've asked for, but he also makes friends with Troy, the always cheerful best friend of Max, and even with the grumpy quarterback, Luke.
        
        But Sky will soon find out it is not just friendship that ties them all together...
