Y/n's POV:

I sighed as I woke up. Great, school, my absolute favorite place in the whole wide world! Not. I got ready, doing my normal morning stuff, before I ate breakfast and left with Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin. Will grabbed my hand and we walked inside. I laughed and kissed his cheek. Thankfully, our lockers were right next to each other. Will opened his locker and I waited.

Will grabbed a piece of paper from the top part of his locker. Will looked down sadly. I grabbed the piece of paper from his hands and gasped at what I saw. It was the newspaper article about Will, when he 'came back to life.' There were x's over his eyes, and 'ZOMBIE BOY' in green marker written over the article. "Y/n, it's fine, really—" Will said but I cut him off. "How is this fine? People are bullying you, Will! You need to report this." I said.

"No, Y/n! Just let it go, okay?" Will snapped. I nodded my head slowly, since Will has never snapped at me before. Will sighed and we walked to class. We sat down in science, I sat down behind Mike, even though I would normally sit next to Will, but I figured Will needed a break for a little bit.

Mr. Clarke cut me off from my thoughts as he set a fake brain down on something. "Meet the human brain. I know. I know, it doesn't look like much. A little gross even, right? But consider this. There are a hundred billion cells inside of this miracle of evolution. All working as one. No, no, I did not misspeak. I did not stutter. A hundred billion." Mr. Clarke explained. A girl from behind me popped her gum.

Suddenly the door opened which made everyone turn towards the door. "Ah, this must be our new student." Mr. Clarke said as a pretty ginger girl walked in. "Indeed it is. All yours." Our principal said as he walked outside. "All right. Hold up there. You don't get away that easy. Come on up. Don't be shy." Mr. Clarke said. The girl rolled her eyes and walked back up to the front of the class.

"Dustin, drum roll." Mr. Clarke said. Dustin closed his book and started hitting his book, lightly. "Class, please welcome, all the way from sunny California, the latest passenger to join us on our curiosity voyage, Maxine." Mr. Clarke said with a smile. "It's Max." The girl, Max, said. "Sorry?" Mr. Clarke said. "Nobody calls me Maxine. It's Max." Max said. "Mad Max." Lucas whispered.

"Well, all aboard, Max." Mr. Clarke said. Max walked away from Mr. Clarke, and to the back of the class to sit down. Me, Will, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin, all watched her walk to her seat. Max looked at us, and we just stared at her. We turned back around after a bit, and this time, I looked at Will. Will had a sad expression as he rested his face in his hand. I sighed sadly, feeling bad for him.

::RECESS::

We all stood behind a fence, watching as Max skated. "There's no way that's Mad Max." Mike said. "Yeah. Girls don't okay video games." Will said. I gave him a dirty look. Will held his hands up in surrender. "And even if they did, you can't get seven hundred and fifty thousand points on Dig Dug. I mean, that's impossible." Mike said. "But her name is Max." Lucas said. "So what?" Mike asked.

"So, how many Maxes do you know?" Lucas asked. "I don't know." Mike said. "Zero. That's how many." Lucas said. "Yeah, and she shows up at school the day after someone with her same name breaks our top score. I mean, you kidding me?" Dustin said. "Exactly. So she's gotta be Mad Max. She's gotta be." Lucas said. "You guys, we look like stalkers." I said.

"And plus she skateboards, so she's pretty awesome." Dustin said, ignoring what I said. "Awesome? You haven't even spoken a word to her." Mike said. "I don't have to. I mean, look at her." Dustin said as we turned back around to see Max not skating anymore. "Shit, I've lost the target." Dustin said. "Oh! There." Will said. We all followed him and saw Max going inside, not before she threw a piece of paper in the trash.
