Max's POV:
I, Max Mayfield, have just moved in to a small town, Hawkins, Indiana. My parents divorced and now I'm living with my mom, stepdad, and asshole of a brother, Billy.
I've been in the arcade for the past few days playing Dig Dug, and I beat the high score. In the arcade I go by the name MADMAX, and when people play Dig Dug they're shocked to see the score I have. Honestly, seems quite impossible, but it's definitely possible.
Author's POV:
Boys Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin go to the arcade a lot. In the past they've dealt with creatures, and unimaginable things. Strange things. And now, they're finally getting a break.
One day, they visit the arcade, and they're in for a surprise.
Nobody's POV:
🧢: Oh, Jesus! I'm in uncharted territory here dude.
🏀: Down! Down! Down!
🧢: I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!
🧢: I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!
*Everyone talking and yelling*
🧢: Okay- Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!
🧢: No. No. No!
🧢: No! No! No! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!
🏀: You're just not nimble enough. But you'll get there one day. But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine. (He says teasing Dustin)
🧢: Whatever. I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig Dug.
🕹️: You sure about that?
🧢: Sure about what? You're kidding me. No, no, no. Move! Move! No, no, no, no, no. Hey, no! No! No!
🪄: 751,300 points!
🚲: That's impossible.
🧢: Who.. Who's MADMAX?
🕹️: Better than you.
🧢: *Gives him the finger*
🪄: Is it you?
🕹️: Pftt, you know I despise Dig Dug.
🏀: Then who is it?
🧢: Yeah, spill it, Keith!
🕹️: You want information, then I need something in return. *looks at Mike*
🚲: No... No, no, no. No way. You're not getting a date with her.
🏀: Mike, come on. Just get him the date.
🚲: I'm not prostituting my sister!
🏀: But it's for a good cause-
🧢: No, don't get him the date. You know what? He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to your whole family.
🕹️: Acne isn't a rash and it isn't contagious you prepubescent wastoid.
🧢: Oh, I'm a wastoid? She wouldn't wanna go on a date with you. Cause you make, like what? $2.50 an hour?
*They continue arguing*
- The next day at school
🛹: *Walks into the classroom*
👨🏻🏫: Ah, this must be our new student!
👨🏾🏫: Indeed it is, all yours.
🛹: *Tries to walk to her seat*
👨🏻🏫: Alright hold up there, you don't get away that easy, come on up, don't be shy.
👨🏻🏫: Dustin, drumroll.
🧢: *drumroll*
👨🏻🏫: Class, please welcome, all the way from sunny California, the latest passenger to join us on our curiosity voyage, Maxine!
🛹: It's Max.
👨🏻🏫: Sorry?
🛹: Nobody calls me Maxine, it's Max.
🏀: (Whispers, "Madmax...")
👨🏻🏫: Ah, well, all aboard Max!
Authors POV:
Max walks up to her seat as the boys (Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Will) stare, realizing that she is MADMAX.
Max's POV:
Honestly, it felt kinda weird having people notice me. They were just staring at me like I'm some trophy. I mean, there were two of them that looked really cute, but they'd never talk to me anyways.
- After school, the boys are staring at Max while she's skateboarding
🚲: There's no way that's MADMAX.
🪄: Yeah, girls don't play video games.
🚲: And even if they did you can't get 750,000 points on Dig Dug. I mean, that's impossible!
🏀: But her name is Max.
🚲: So what?
🏀: So, how many Maxes do you know?
🚲: I don't know...
🏀: Zero. That's how many.
🧢: Yeah... and she shows up at school the day after someone with her same name breaks our top score. I mean, you kidding me?
🏀: Exactly. So she's gotta be MADMAX. She's gotta be!
🧢: And plus she skateboards, so she's pretty awesome.
🚲: Awesome? You haven't even spoken a word to her.
🧢: Okay- I don't have to, I mean, look at her... Shit, I've lost the target.
🪄: *Spots her* Oh! There!
🛹: *Walking back into the school and throws something in the trash on the way*
*The boys run to see what it was that she threw out, acting all obsessive*
🧢: *Digging in the trash* Got it! There we go. *opens up the piece of paper she threw in the trash*
🧢🚲🏀🪄: "Stop spying on me, creeps."
🧢: Well, shit.
Max's POV:
They spied on me and I don't know why. What's so amusing about me? Is it because my hair is red? Or because I skate? Really, what's the big deal?
- Later in the next day, Dustin and Lucas are spying outside the arcade, looking for Max.
🧢: Still no sign?
🏀: *Looking through his binoculars* Jack shit.
🧢: Ah damn it, my mom's gonna murder me.
🏀: So go home. I'll radio if she comes.
🧢: Ah, yeah, nice try. You just want me out of here so you can make your move.
🏀: Oh, "cause you're such a threat."
🧢: That's right. She will not be able to resist these pearls. (Purrs)
🏀: *Rolls his eyes*
🧢: Ten o' clock.
🏀: What?
🧢: Ten o' clock!
*Max pulls up in front of the arcade with her brother Billy driving and they start arguing as Max leave the car*
🏀: They're arguing, They're arguing!
🧢: Oh my god, I see that! I don't even know why you need those. God, you're so stupid.
*Max goes into the arcade and starts playing*
🏀: She's incredible.
🧢: She's...
🧢🏀: Mad Max.
