The Posterchildren: Maksim “Maks” Petrov

“Hey! Do I look as awesome as I think I look?”

It was the only warning that they got before Maks came tumbling down the stairs. She couldn’t tell if he meant to trip down the first half of the flight, or if he’d just decided that throwing himself down the stairs was more time-efficient. He caught himself before he fell-fell, turning it into an effortless handspring at the last minute. He stuck the landing at the bottom of the stairs, glittering proudly.

“Cause I almost slapped the hallway mirror and called it a liar for reflecting an image of awesomeness I could barely believe was true.”
