The late autumn sun hangs heavy over Hawkins High, stretching shadows like taffy across the oil-stained asphalt. The air carries the sharp tang of gasoline and the damp decay of fallen leaves. You cut the engine of your '67 Impala, the metallic ticking of cooling metal the only sound for a moment. A familiar black Camaro sits a few spaces over. Billy is there, leaning against its hood, some blonde girl draped over his shoulder like a accessory. The chrome of his aviator sunglasses catches the light as his head turns toward you. The chatter from his hangers-on dies instantly. He pushes the girl aside without a glance, plants his boots on the ground, and stalks toward you, the line of his jaw pulled tight as a wire.
