Chapter 5: Max Part 2

*still flashback, california (max)*

Max's pov

We eventually arrived at Hawkins. Neil had his own house, just the two of them. He said he's had a girlfriend before but not a wife

Pretty sure he was planning on marrying my mom and I hate it. Fortunately Billy and I didn't have to share a room, obviously. I started putting all of my stuff all over again and everything

It was Friday when we arrived at Hawkins. Which means I would go to my new school on Monday. I really didn't want to go. I mean, I knew that I would be alone anyways, I was sure of that because no one liked me at my old school

Sure I was mean, but I only was mean because of how they treated me. They were mocking the way I dress and everything. At first, I was nice. Like, I've talked to a few girls that started talking to me at the first few days of school

Sure it was fun, but eventually they suddenly stopped talking to me. They pretended to be nice for like a week, then they started mocking my clothes, that I skate, play video games etc

All things apparently only boys do. I was not one of them. That's why they didn't like me. They said they just wanted to talk to me for a week for fun,cause they were bored or to help with homework, "did you really think we liked you? Have you seen yourself?" I remember them saying laughing.

And by "have you seen yourself" means all the above about me. I'm different from them. Look, they weren't so nice, like they always talked about boys which was getting tiring at some point.

I wanted to give them a chance, it's been a week, maybe they're not what they look like, old me thought. But they were what they looked like indeed. They just messed around with me

After that whenever someone was being nice with me I didn't pay attention to it, I was sure they were not serious or mocking me. I wouldn't say they were exactly bullying me. Like starting to hit me, only just comments about my looks and hobbies everyday like I don't know them.

Until one day at the 3rd week of school, Sam talked to me:

As I was in class, drawing on my notebook because I was quite bored. A boy leaned over my desk. I looked up and sighed thinking of the worst of course, cause its always like this

I looked at him waiting for an answer, not bothering to say anything. "hey!" he said smiling. "hey" I replied boring. "So um I noticed-" he started but I cut him off

"i know I'm weird, a tomboy, a Dyke-" I said. "woah woah I wasn't gonna say that!" he cut me off. I frowned and stared at him trying to see if he's being serious or mocking me just like every body else does.

"oh okay.. Sorry" I said feeling bad. "it's alright!" he said smiling. I smiled back to be nice. Don't get too attached, I thought to myself. That's exactly how I felt those times with those girls I thought that they genuinely wanted to be friends with me

But that was not the case. I decided to just listen to him, I've got nothing to loose. "I was gonna say that I noticed your drawings! I'm not like the others" he said. I frowned. Is he reading my mind or something?

He laughed. "Oh come on, you think I don't notice how everyone treats you. I've always wanted to approach you cause you seemed cool since the first day" he said making me smile.

"Yeah sorry I was being mean, I was just surprised you would want to talk to the 'weird' girl" I said laughing slightly at the end. He laughed too

"You're not weird, don't listen to them, just because you're a girl it doesn't mean you can't wear those clothes, skate or play video games, I like skating too, I like playing video games too! What's the difference?!" he said smiling

That melted my heart. Is someone really understanding me? I shrugged trying to hide my smile. "I don't know, everyone thinks I'm weird because of those but I'm not gonna stop them" I said honestly

"as you should!" he said. "I love your drawings" he said pointing at a small drawing I drew on my notebook. I just drew a random skateboard with fire around it and different stuff

"It's just a drawing of a skateboard but thanks" I said slightly laughing. He smiled. "it's still cool" he said. "thanks" I said.

And just like that we become friends. We've been friends for a long time. At first people assumed we were together. I never understood this, just because I'm talking to a boy it doesn't mean I like him

"aww are you two together?" a girl asked. The others laughed. I remember that sam and I didn't say anything because we clearly didn't like each other, just friends

"isn't she a Dyke" I remember another girl saying laughing, making all of them laugh. At that time I got pissed off and left the classroom.

Third person's pov

The bell rang. The boys wanted to go meet the new girl. Mike wasn't really happy about that. The boys looked at each other once they heard the bell.

Mike rolled his eyes. Max was already out of the classroom, holding her skateboard. Lucas and Dustin already stood up following the girl. Mike hesitated but followed them

They saw max walking in the hallway. "hey max!" Dustin called her name. She didn't hear it. "max!" Dustin and lucas yelled at her once they caught up with her. She turned around.

The two boys were kind of out of breath in order to talk to her before leaving. Max raised her eyebrows. "Hello?" she said sarcastically

"uh hey! Uh my name's Dustin and these are my friends lucas and Mike" Dustin said. Max looked at them a bit confused

"Yeah cool" she said turned around. The boys looked at each other frowning. "Would you like to join us later?" lucas yelled making her stop walking away

"Where?" she asked not really caring. Deep down she was happy someone approached her but she didn't trust anyone after what they've done.

"Uhh at the arcade" lucas replied. Max felt happy inside but didn't want to show it. "is this a prank?" she asked looking at the boys suspiciously.

Mike sighed loudly. "Come on guys she doesn't want and clearly doesn't give a shit-" Mike said annoyed but Dustin hit his arm to stop

"Stop" he whispered to Mike. Mike sighed again. "why would it he a prank?" lucas asked frowning. "I don't know, did you make a bet or something" max said laughing

"Make a bet to ask you out for a hangout?" lucas said. Max didn't say anything. "We just wanna hangout, you seem cool and we would like you to join us if you want!" Dustin said trying to convince her.

Max thought for a second. "Okay fine" she said. The boys smiled, except Mike.
