The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High buzzed like trapped insects, painting the linoleum in sickly yellow. A sudden hush dropped over the hallway as you stirred on the floor, your dark, out-of-time clothing a brutal slash against the pastel 1986 backdrop. Mocking whispers swelled into open jeers from the ring of students, but you rose—not with panic, but with a cold, deliberate calm that killed the noise dead. Through the parted crowd, I stood there, my electric guitar hanging heavy at my hip, my eyes wide and unblinking. I took in the stranger wearing my own silver rings, defying every norm of this dull town, and felt a wild, electric curiosity crackle in my chest.
