(Max POV)

"Get Up Max!" Mike shouts waking me up. I grunt as I throw a pillow at him. "No Max wake up we have to get up it's senior Year!" He continues. I get annoyed as I wake up entirely. "Your so fucking annoying!" I yell at Mike. "Love you too little sis" He responds and I fake gag. "Now get up and get ready we have to leave in 10 minutes! School starts in half an hour and it takes us about 20 minutes to walk there so wake up!" He says and I grunt. "Also go wake up Dustin and Will please" He says leaving the room not giving me time to respond. I sigh as I get ready. I got ready and headed to the boys room to wake them up. I bang on the door and scream. "Shit what happened?" Dustin opens the door rushing out. "Max what's wrong?" Will says behind him. "Nothing I just needed to wake you losers up" I smirk at them. Dustin rolls his eyes and Will shrugs. I walk down the stairs and took a slice of bread and made a slice of toast before we leave. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I sigh knowing there going to ask if I made food for them. "So Max where's our food?" Dustin says entering the kitchen. "Idk I didn't make you any greedy" I tease him. "Hey I'm not greedy I'm actually super athletic and that's why I'm going to make the football team this year" He defends his pride. "You say this every year?" Will says. "True but I mean it this year!" Dustin says glaring at Will. Will rolls his eyes and makes himself some toast. "You also say that every year" Mike teases entering the house. Dustin was clearly annoyed and rolls his eyes out of frustration. "By the way Max if you think your wearing that your out of your mind!" Mike says as all the boys look at what he's pointing at. It's my crop top and I don't why he's making such a big deal out of it. "Yeah agreed!" Dustin adds on. Will doesn't say anything and just smiles at me. I send him a smile back. I look back at Dustin and Mike. "I'm wearing this to school and I don't care what you guys think!" I say angrily walking out the house.

Third Person POV
"Guys were seriously not letting her walk to school on her own are we?" Will says. "No of course not" Mike says grabbing his hoodie. Dustin nods as they all leave the house catching up to Max. "Can you guys leave me alone for 5 fucking minutes?!" Max yells at them. "No we can't!" Mike yells back. "Yeah we can't especially since-" Dustin begins to speak. Will quickly puts his hand on Dustin mouth to stop him from saying something stupid and hurtful. Max rolls her eyes and puts her headphones on her head continuing to walk to school. The boys all follow in suit and this just pisses Max off more. After 15-20 of walking they finally made it. Max split apart from her brothers to go see her best friend..

(Max's POV)

"Hey El!" I say walking to her locker. She smiles at me and I don't smile back. "Hi Max what's wrong?" El asks worried. "Nothing just my stupid overprotective brothers" I say fake smiling. El nods and I could tell she didn't know what to respond with. "I'm sure there just worried about you Max" She tries to reassure me. "I know but it's getting worse.." I sigh. "What do you mean?" El says furrowing her eyebrows. "This morning they said I couldn't wear this.." I say pointing at my crop top under my jacket. "A crop top?" El says confused. "Exactly" I shrug. "Yeah that's definitely overprotective" She says. "Told ya anyway what class you got next?" I ask her. "Umm...I have maths next" El answers. "Damn that's sucks..." I say. The maths teacher is so rude and annoying. "Yep what you got?" El asks me. I pull my schedule out my back and I look at my timetable. "Science" I sigh. Science is ok I guess. Never been a big fan of it. "Hey at-least you don't have Mr Johnson screaming at you every 5 seconds" El laughs and I join in. "Ok I have to go now see you a break?" She says hugging me. "Yeah see you at break" I say pulling away from the hug I put my schedule back in my bag and head towards the classroom.

I make it to class just in time. "Close one Max now go take a seat" Mrs Samantha says. I nod walking towards my chair at the back. I settled in until a dark skin boy runs in as the teacher starts talking. He looked lost and everyone was staring at him. "Umm..sorry to interrupt but I'm new here and my first lesson is Science with Mrs Samantha?" The nervous boy says. Mrs Samantha Nods at the boy. "Well this is the right classroom and since your new I'll let you off the hook for being late but don't be late ever again" Mrs Samantha says. "Umm yes Mam" He says. He's polite and cute too. He stands there awkwardly not knowing what to do. "So introduce yourself to your new fellow classmates" The teacher says. He nods. "My name is Lucas Sinclair and I used to live in Chicago but now me and my family decided to move to Hawkins for a new opportunity and now here we are" Lucas finishes slightly smiling. "Ok Lucas let's find you a seat now" She says. Lucas nods. No one puts there hand up offering a seat. I sigh. I put my hand up. "Oh right there you can sit next to Maxine Mayfield" The teacher points at me. I scrunch my face. I hate when people call me that. Lucas nods and walks towards me. He pulls the chair out the desk and sits next to me.

I was working on something until I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn my head to see Lucas asking something. "Sorry...I forgot to bring a pencil do you have a spare one?" He asks. I nod. I open my bag and pass him a spare pencil. "Thank you so much..Maxine?" He says. "Max..please" I respond looking at him. "Oh sorry thank you max and thanks for letting me sit next to you!" He finishes smiling at me. I feel my cheeks slightly burn. "No problem.." I respond focusing back on my work. The rest of class was pretty boring to say the least. The work wasn't that hard at all. I have a A in science but I still find it incredibly boring.

I guess I was zoned out as I bump into someone. I look up and see Tara the cheerleaders captain. "Shit I'm so sorry..." I say putting my hand out to help her up. She slaps my hand away and stands up. "Don't touch me freak!" Tara says. "Yeah don't touch her loser!" Emily adds on. I roll my eyes as I go to turn away. I didn't get far as Emily grabs my arm turning me back around. She slaps me hard and throws my Walkman on the floor. "Do that again and we will kill your next time..." Tara says leaning down to me. I nod feeling weak. They walk away laughing at me. I sigh as I pick the broken pieces of the Walkman off the floor. As I was doing this I hear footsteps and someone voice. "Oh shit are you ok Max?" Lucas says kneeling down. I nod not wanting to talk. "Here let me help..." Lucas says grabbing some of the pieces of the Walkman. We finish picking up all the pieces and stand up. "Thanks Lucas" I say sending him a small smile. "No problem..." He responds wide eyes. "What's wrong?" I furrow my eyebrows at him confused. "Who slapped you Max? You have a massive red mark on your face!" He says. I touch my cheek to feel it and it burned. Fuck my life. Now my overprotective brothers are going to be more on my ass now.

"Max!" I hear Mike yell with Dustin and Will next to him. Me and Lucas turn our heads towards them. "Shit..." I say knowing there going to assume the worst. "Huh?" Lucas says looking at me. "My brothers...stepbrothers" I say. They all approach and see the red mark on my face. Then they all dart there eyes towards Lucas. I try to interfere before anything happens but it was too late as Mike grabs Lucas by the neck and pushes him against the locker. Will and Dustin help him. "Hey..wtf man?" Lucas says surprised. "Why the fuck did you slap our sister?!" Mike says. "Huh..?" Lucas says confused. I grab Mike off him. "Hey Dumbass Lucas didn't slap me he was actually helping me" I say standing in front of Lucas. "Still a boy shouldn't be next to you looking at you like that!" Dustin says. Lucas eyes widen. "Huh I wasn't looking at her like anything?" He says confused. "You just shut the fuck up!" Mike says pointing at Lucas. I sigh. "It was tara and her stupid cheerleader friends" I explain. They all nod and say sorry to Lucas.

"Sorry bro I thought you hit my sister" Mike says. "No problem I understand bro" Lucas responds giving him a hand shake. "You should join the football team bro" Dustin suggests. "Yea I probably will" He says. I sigh. He was actually nice and now there going to turn him into a asshole jock. "So what's your name?" Lucas asks will. "Umm Will" Will says. "Well nice to meet you will" Lucas says offering his hand. Will shakes his hand and sends him a smile. "So how do you know our little sister?" Dustin says. I roll my eyes. There talking like I'm not here. "Oh I don't really know her we just met in science class she seems really cool and nice" Lucas says. I feel a smile creep on my face. "Cool but that all don't matter because you can't date our sister" Mike says. Lucas nods slowly. I roll my eyes and I walk away. Somedays I fucking hate my brothers!!!
