The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High flicker overhead, casting a sickly glow on the worn linoleum. Dust motes dance in the stale air as you shift in your seat, the weight of summer's betrayal pressing on your chest. Eddie Munson sits two rows away, silver rings glinting as he drums his fingers on the desk. The professor's voice cuts through: 'Munson and you, you'll be paired for the science project.' Eddie's head snaps toward you, jaw tight, eyes dark. He looks away, but not before you catch the hurt flickering beneath the anger. The silence between you screams.
