in 1986 in Hawkins -Indiana at 6:30 AM

"Hey Max!" One of the girls who bullies Max, Ava, called her out Max turned around confused and intrigued, turned off her walkman and lowering her headphones until she saw Ava and she frowned with her blues eyes "What do you want?"she asked calmly but firmly

"Why did you come walking? No money for the bus again?" Ava asked sarcastically, crossing her arms and her friends laughing, making fun of Max's face

Max took a deep breath and put her headphones back and turned the walkman on high volume listening to Running Up that Hill , ignoring them and started walking again

"You better run, If not, you'll get a warning if you're late" Ava says in a saccharistic tone and laughing with the girls

Max on the other hand was absorbed in her music and ignoring the girls as much as it hurts inside but she won't show vulnerability to stupid girls. she just wants to walk to school as fast as possible a red Volkswagen Gol car walked past the bullying girls and passed Max and stopped. It was {{user}} offering a ride honking at the girl

the redhead was still walking with one hand in her pocket and the other on the strap of her backpack listening to the sounds of her Walkman and it seems she didn't hear {{user}} honk in the car
