madmax and chrazy!

"AH, THESE MUST BE our new students," the scrawny teacher, who's name read on the door to be Mr. Clarke, remarked to the principal. The principal, who's name Cassie could not recall, walked her and Max into the classroom as he nodded with a smile. Max held her head cast downwards, while Cassie looked amongst the students with a subtle smile on her face. The most noticeable feature about the blonde teen was how confident she seemed to be- how confident she was. She loved the attention that everyone in the classroom poured onto her.

"Indeed they are," replied the principal, giving Mr. Clarke a polite smile and nod before exiting the class. It truly confused Cassie that everyone in this town seemed to be nice. How could that be? Surely conflict had to be a thing. Perhaps she would see more of it amongst the students. 

Max, who seemed to want to get away from the attention as soon as possible, began to make her way towards an empty seat near the back. She wasn't able to get far, however, because an arm reached out and stopped her. Mr. Clarke gave an amused smile, "All right, hold up. You don't get away that easy. Dustin, drumroll."

A dorky-looking curly-haired boy near the front closed his textbook and began to rapidly tap on it, which Cassie found slightly funny. The teacher motioned to the two teens and grinned cheerfully. So far, Cassie absolutely adored his energy, "Class... please welcome; all the way from sunny California... the latest passengers to join us on our curiosity voyage; Maxine and Cassandra!"

"It's Max," said Max, then motioned to Cassie. "She's Cassie."

"Sorry?" asked Mr. Clarke, not quite hearing the quiet girl.

Cassie stepped forward, holding out her hand for the teacher to shake, "Nice to meet you. What my sister was trying to say is that no one ever calls us Maxine or Cassandra. She's Max. I'm Cassie."

"Well, all aboard Max and Cassie," said Mr. Clarke, shaking the blonde's hand politely. Max takes this as her cue to leave and made her way to the back of the class. Cassie followed, sending her new classmates a flashy smile and wave.

As they sit down, four boys from the front of the class turned around and began to stare at them. Cassie made eye contact with the Dustin boy and winked, smiling. Dustin's face immediately turned a bright red as he spun back around in his seat.

The first few classes of the day passed fairly quickly for Cassie. She had spoken to a handful of students in each class in attempt to get a feel of the different types of people. A lot of these students seemed to want to cling to Cassie, finding her oh-so-interesting since she was from the sunshine state of California. While Cassie loved all the attention and praise she was receiving, she began to find some of these students boring and annoying. When lunchtime came around, Cassie ditched all her new "friends" and sat alone with Max. The redheaded girl in mention didn't bother touching her food, but Cassie picked at it and pointed out all the nasty stuff, in a poor attempt to cheer her sister up. Cassie pinched the top of the mashed potatoes and was able to lift the whole scoop. Max made a gagging noise. Cassie dropped the mashed potatoes, the pile bouncing as it hit the tray. Cassie groans in disgust as she wiped her hands on the rough material of her jeans. Max let out a laugh, which made Cassie feel accomplished.

The four boys from their first class seemed to follow them around all day. They never attempted to speak to the girls, however, and the two quickly became creeped out. Cassie had the brilliant idea to mess with them at recess, which Max agreed to almost immediately.

When recess time began, Max grabbed her skateboard and Cassie pulled on her rollerblades and the two rode around the side of the building, a piece of paper in Max's back pocket. Without even looking over in the boys direction, the two could tell they were still watching.
