made some changes to the characters personalities ig idk i wrote that here this is super old but oops sorry for the inconvenience
max, will and eleven biked to school- max stopping to get a flower- specifically a rose, knowing that they were brooklyns favourite, and probably pricked herself on the thorns.
they parked their bikes, brooklyn there- waiting for them. "hi, brooklyn," will greeted, smiling softly at her. "hi will," she gave him back her usual- and iconic, small, awkward wave.
just then, the others bike up to them, both el and will going to talk to mike.
"can we talk after school?" max asks flatly.
"oh- uh- yeah.. uhm, okay," brooklyn doesnt know why this question put her in such a panic.
okay, maybe she did. max had been acting weird around her ever since.. the night they got slurpees by themselves. maybe she was mad at her. she was probably mad at her. oh, fuck. max was probably, gonna- like, beat her up.
after her fourth period, the group met up at their usual spot. but didnt stay together for long, will asking to talk to brooklyn alone.
"brooklyn, i need to- i need to tell you something," will says uneasily.
" sure, will. whats u-"
"i think im gay."
"me too." she blurted. "fuck, i mean-"
"im gonna go for a smoke," max pushed herself up, the others simply ignoring her- being deep in conversation.
max was expecting will and brooklyn to be inside, talking 'privately', but they were standing behind the school. where max always smokes, where the group always meets up after school. she looked down, reaching for her cigarettes- but when she looked up, she saw something surprising. and.. heartbreaking
. she was only there for a moment- and that moment just so happened to be the moment will and brooklyn kisses.
she immediately turns around.
