Lucinda puts her car in park and looks over at Mallory from the driver's seat.

"You good mal?" Lucinda asks, and that makes Mallory look over at her. She nods quickly before picking up her bag. She opens the door and says bye to Lucinda and slams the door.

"Bye-" the door slams. "-mal." Lucinda sighs and leans back in the driver's seat just to see Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler talking.

"Harrington! What's up?" Lucinda yells from her window.

"College shit!" Steve yells back and Lucinda exits her car and goes to the high school.

Aurora sat in her math class as she went through the new student shit the other day.

Lucinda is walking into her class when Tina hands her an invitation. Lucinda reads over it.

"I'm gonna die anyway. I'll have some fun." She mutters to herself, and Nancy appears behind her.

"You believe the cursed crap?" Nancy asks.

"Jesus, wheeler. Are you a ghost or something because damn." Lucinda says holding her chest.

"Sorry, Lucinda," Nancy says

"You can call me Luc." She says.

"Oh- sorry," Nancy says. "Are you gonna go?" Lucinda nods at Nancy's question.

Lucinda walks with Nancy until Steve starts to make out with Nancy. "Gross. Get a room." Lucinda says and walks off.

Aurora is walking around when she sees a redheaded girl skating and she walks up to her.

"Hey," Aurora says nearly making the girl fall off her skateboard.

"Shit. Don't scare me like that." The girl says.

"Sorry, I'm Aurora." She holds out her hand.

"Max." The girl, Max, shakes her hand.

"I've never seen you before. Are you new? Well, I'm new to school, I mean, to town." Aurora rambles.

"I am. To town and school." Max says, picking up her skateboard and walking up the stairs, "Bye Aurora." She says, putting something in the trash, and Aurora just sees four boys surrounding the trash and a girl standing behind them slightly. Aurora watches the boys read it, and then the boy with the bowl cut gets taken by the principal.

Mallory is walking out of the school when she hears a girl yelling, "Wait up! Hold on! How are you so fast?" The girl asks.

Mallory looks at the girl, "Do I know you?"

"Uh, okay, no. I'm new to school as I've been homeschooled my whole life." The girl says. "Oh, I'm Aurora, by the way."

Mallory nods and goes to her sister's car, where Lucinda is having a smoke.

"That's bad for you," Mallory says.

"Whatever. Mom doesn't care." Lucinda says, throwing her cigarette on the floor and getting in the car.
