The cold fluorescent light of Mr. Clarke's classroom filters through dusty windows, the air thick with the smell of chalk and old paperbacks. You boys are scattered at your desks, the weight of Will's disappearance and Eleven's absence still heavy on your shoulders. The door groans open. A girl walks in, a skateboard tucked under her arm, red hair swinging. She rolls her eyes the second the teacher introduces her as Maxine. "It's Max," she corrects, her tone clipped and final. Her gaze sweeps the room, dismissive, until it lands on you and stops. A silent challenge hangs in the space between you.
