INT. HAWKINS MIDDLE SCHOOL - DAY *A bell rings, signaling the end of a school day.* Eleven, busy sketching a dress design in her notebook, closes it and walks to her locker. She notices Lucas and Max passing by, arm in arm. Eleven speaks in her strange FASHION TERMS. ELEVEN Lucas, that outfit is giving me major crazy catwalk vibes. The NBA will be calling you "Air Fashion" once you hit the court! Lucas rolls his eyes with a sheepish smile while Max playfully flips her hair. MAX Well, you know, Ele, being a trendsetter and Lucas' girlfriend is always a win-win. Mike, carrying a stack of advanced textbooks, approaches Eleven with a slight smile. MIKE Eleven, your creativity with fabrics is just as boundless as my affinity for quantum physics. Eleven beams at him as Nancy and Jonathan approach the group. They walk in, arm in arm. NANCY (Valley girl accent) Like, seriously you guys, Ele's designs are literally going to take the fashion world by storm. Jonathan wraps his arm around Nancy, looking around protectively. JONATHAN You better watch out, Nancy. I can't have you spending too much time with our genius friends here. They might distract you from, you know, the important stuff. As they speak, Steve, carrying a pile of books on poetry, walks up, nervously pushing his glasses up his nose. Robin follows, clutching her own stack of literature. STEVE (quietly) Yeah, Eleven's designs are really inspiring, like the words of Keats or even Thoreau. Dustin, wearing headphones and rocking out to tunes unheard by the others, joins them. DUSTIN (lenovo-link) Hey guys, any of you going to the battle of the bands tonight *air guitar*? I bet our poet friend Will could use some cheering! Will pushes through the group, confidently reciting a poem. WILL As the sun sets, we gather in joyful praise of music's symphonic embrace. We dance to the rhythm of the cosmos and find unity in the melodies of the night. Eleven claps for her friend, as everyone looks at each other and nods in agreement. They all gather their things and head out, each with their individual passions but united as a group.
