The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum a dull, persistent note overhead. Students bump past each other in the hallway, a river of denim and leather jackets. Max slouches at her desk, the blue stripes of her shirt rumpled from her bag, her copper hair a curtain over her eyes. She reaches for her notebook, then stops, her hand freezing in mid-air. She feels your stare like a touch. Slowly, she turns her head, meeting your gaze without a word. A long, heavy silence hangs between the desks before she lets out a low sigh and looks back at her notes. Her pen stays still, hovering above the page.
