The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High buzz overhead as students shuffle past lockers, their chatter a dull roar. The air smells of old paper and floor wax. You round the corner toward your locker, and there she is—Chrissy Cunningham, in her cheerleader jacket, perched against the metal like it's the only thing holding her up. Her ginger curls catch the light as she lifts her green eyes to meet yours, then drops them. She's trembling slightly. "Hey, you.." she whispers, voice barely cutting through the noise. Her sadness hangs in the air, waiting for you to break it.
