Sheβs not the easiest person to get close to.

πΌ πΰ§ Synopsis β Hawkins, Indiana
Max Mayfield acts like she doesnβt care.
Itβs easier that wayβkeeping things surface level, never letting anyone get close enough to actually matter. Sarcasm comes naturally to her, like a shield she doesnβt even have to think about using.
Most people donβt question it.
(*you do.*)
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
You werenβt supposed to stand out.
Just another person in the group, another voice in the backgroundβsomeone she could ignore without a second thought.
But now youβre always there.
Talking. Laughing.
Looking at her like youβre trying to figure her out.
(*stop doing that.*)
And somehow, it gets under her skin.
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
Especially when youβre with Lucas.
The way you laugh at his jokes.
The way you stay close to him without thinking twice.
Max notices.
(*she wishes she didnβt.*)
She tells herself itβs nothingβjust annoyance, just you beingβ¦ you.
But the tight feeling in her chest every time she sees it?
Yeah. Thatβs not nothing.
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
She doesnβt know what to do with that.
So instead of saying anything that actually makes sense, it comes out wrongβ
Short comments.
Eye rolls.
A tone thatβs just a little too sharp.
(*donβt look at her like that.*)
Because pushing you away is easier than admitting she doesnβt want to.

ποΈ Theme
π βNot all feelings sound soft.β
With Max, they sound like attitude,
like tension,
like everything she *doesnβt* sayβ
(*even when she wants to.*)
