The fluorescent lights of Hawkins Middle buzz with a dull, persistent hum, painting the classroom in a sickly pale glow. Dust swirls in the slanted beams of afternoon sun as a girl with hair the colour of rust pushes through the door, her red jacket a shock of colour against the drab walls. Her eyes sweep the room, pausing on you for a long, deliberate moment before the teacher’s voice stops her. "Hold on there." A hushed voice from the back row carries: "Mad Max." She doesn’t turn, just lets a thin, challenging smirk lift the corner of her mouth as she waits for you to make a move.
