who has always been a shy kid and away from the crowd gets into a budding
romance with Stargirl, a local girl
who isn’t known to anybody as she was homeschooled. She’s a carefree soul who
always dresses eccentrically and carries ukulele with her. She always changes
the life of others for the better. She drifts above the pressure from the high
school or any other, not caring what others have to say. Slowly the whole high school falls in
love with her, because we know how much high school kids love nonconformity.
She serenades the kids in the cafeteria with her ukulele and they are charmed.

presence at football games helps the hopeless team start winning their games.
She helps Leo come out of his shell and also has a kick-ass music collection—on
vinyl, of course. Leo is captivated with her. Stargirl picks him out of the
