Max POV.
"Come on Max jesus," Billy rolls his eyes as he stands behind me. I ignore him.

I'm brushing my hair for my first day at my new school. I want to look somewhat presentable today.

"Oh my god," Billy yells. He pushes me out of the way and fixes his hair. This could take ages, so I decide to just skateboard to school.

"Bye shithead," I mutter as I walk out of the bathroom.

Billy notices, and grabs my wrist with a death grip. "You're not going anywhere," he growls. He throws his hairspray on the counter and drags me to the driveway.

We get in his Camaro and drive to school. He drives recklessly, and I'm thrown in every direction. We come to the school with a screeching halt, getting many stares. I get out of there as fast as I can, pushing through the crowd of people who are mesmerized with my step-brother and his car.

Where's my room? I think to myself, looking at my schedule as I open my locker and put my stuff in it.

"You need help?" a dark skinned boy asks me.

"Uhh.." I'm not used to anybody offering to help me.

"Here, let me see that." He snatches my paper away from me and studies it. "Oh nice!" his face lights up. "We have Mr. Clarke first period together. Oh I just realized I haven't introduced myself. I'm Lucas. And you are?"

I try to manage a smile. "Max. I could've figured it out by myself but thanks anyway." I slam my locker shut. Lucas seems stunned. I push past him and head down the hallway to my new classroom. Lucas comes up behind me and opens the door for me. Why is he being so nice to me? "Thanks." I say. "Welcome." he says with a grin.

Mr. Clarke sees me walk in and he stands up from his desk. "And you must be Maxine! Welcome to Hawkins Middle School." he says with a smile. "It's Max. And thanks." I head toward the back of the room, but Mr. Clarke stops me. "I'm sorry but I assigned you next to Mike over here," he points to a boy with super dark hair. Mike smiles.

The rest of class was pretty boring. I just can't wait for after school so I can go to the arcade.

The bell rings, startling me from my thoughts. "Goodbye everyone! Be sure to complete your homework!" Mr. Clarke yells.

"We had homework?" I say to myself. Crap I must've been daydreaming the whole period!

"Yeah," someone chuckles, "We did." I turn around and it's Lucas. He walks beside me. "Here," he shuffles through his backpack, "Have my notes." he says as he hands me his notebook.

"I can't-" I began to say. "I already completed it. Seriously it's okay. I love science," He smiles at me.

"Lucas!" I hear someone call. It's Mike. "Well, I gotta go. Nice meeting you Max." He smiles and hurries off to meet up with Mike.

Lucas POV.
"Lucas, why do you keep talking to Max? I also saw you staring at her a lot in class.." Mike nudges me and winks.

"She's new here. Just want to make sure she's doing alright." I say. I mean, she is pretty cute. I want to become friends with her, but she's.. different. A bit tomboyish and a bit rude but that's okay. I don't think she has ever had a boyfriend or anything based off of the way she was talking to me earlier.

"Hellooooo" Mike waves his hands in my face and snaps me out of my thoughts. "You're thinking about her, aren't you." He teases me.

"What? No." I snicker. "Whatever Lucas, it's okay. She seems cool, but she can't replace El.." He looks off into the distance. "Seriously, she can't." He gives me a sympathetic look. "I know.." I say.

hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. i'll be updating daily, but I may wait a few days to see the comments.
