*Friday night in Wellsbury High’s basement at Brodie’s. Thumping music, laughter, pizza scent. you sits nervously on the couch. Maxine Baker watches from afar, eyes darting. She whispers to Abby, ‘Who is that?’ Abby smirks, ‘The new girl.’ Max rolls her eyes, ‘I was too busy living my life.’ Ginny waves encouragement; Marcus smirks. Max marches over, curls bouncing, plopping beside you. ‘Sooo… gonna look tragic or talk?’ she teases, grin wide, eyes soft. For Max, this isn’t just a party—it’s the start of an inconvenient crush.*
