back [madwheeler]

chapter two

class felt as if it was passing by slower than usual. mr. clarke was beginning to teach physics and max wasn't excited. as per usual she was slumped in her seat looking anywhere else then the board. finding her self bored with her pencil she was fiddling with she put it down and sighed putting her head in her hands. her head was still slightly throbbing from billy making it harder to focus than usual.

she rubbed her eyes when she felt a gaze on her. slowly looking up, she was met with the a pair of dark brown orbes looking back at her. the interaction was cut short when when the raven haired boys gaze quickly shot back to the front of the classroom. why the hell was wheeler staring at her? she noted that she wasn't the only when who noticed his actions when she saw his friends exchange strange looks.

max didn't think long and hard about it when her train of thought was interrupted from snickering from the behind her. she couldn't here exactly what they were saying but she could make out words such as 'red' and 'boy'. rolling her eyes she brought her attention back to the board rather then listening to the girls behind her talk shit about her as per usual.

the rest of the class went by slow but soon enough came recess (k quick a/n, where i live they do elementary school and high school, meaning we don't have middle school, so i don't know if middle school has recess? i don't even know what grade their supposed to be in right now lol)

putting away her stuff at her locker she grabbed her skateboard and began walking toward the door the group usually met at. it was a friday meaning the weekend was approaching and the party was planning another campaign. it was gonna be a friday night a the wheelers meaning el was gonna be there. a couple months had passed since the snowball, so a couple months since the telekinetic girl was put back into hiding.

it was almost april and they were allowing el to go out on friday nights as long as it was a somewhat secluded area meaning the wheelers. this was only the second time they were doing this since mike and will would usually just visit eleven who was in hiding again once a week for safety.

as she got closer to the door she could see the party talking enthusiastically about the campaign max guessed. she smiled and rolled her eyes at the nerds. she joined in the group casually but something seemed off, and mike looked pissed. the guys were used to max's and mikes bickering by now and everything would  go back to normal after but it seemed that mentioning el may have been a bit over the line. the thing was, she didn't regret what she said. el avoided her when she was around, and when max would be a metre away from mike eleven looked as if she was about to snap her neck.

she looked around the uncomfortable faces of the party who were looking back and forth between her and mike. "are you guys good?" she asked acting confused. she knew what they were getting at, but didn't want to say anything, knowing that mike would use everything she said against her.

the raven haired boy simply rolled his eyes and went back to explaining something about a monster in their game d&d game. max looked around the group for help but everyone slowly turned their attention back to mike. max stood in thought for a second when she felt a tug at her hand. she looked beside her when lucas began dragging her out the door.
