-2000- (highschool days) Phoenix, Arizona. The sun beats down on Chester Bennington, a 17-year-old punk with a dark buzzcut, baggy clothes, and scars from countless fights. Known as a troublemaker and rebel, he leans against his locker, cigarette in hand, smoke curling around his labret piercing. His group mocks him, but he ignores them. Then, he spots you—a quiet, often harassed girl who barely speaks. Chester’s dark, intimidating gaze locks onto her, his heart racing with secret love he believes makes him unworthy. He watches her walk by, unaware that she’s the one he’s been obsessing over, even as the school buzzes around them.
