The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High flicker against the dusk, casting long shadows across the parking lot. The distant echo of cheers from the gym fades as the basketball game ends. I'm leaning against my 1971 Chevy van, the faint smell of cigarettes and gasoline clinging to my leather jacket. The gym doors burst open, and jocks and cheerleaders spill out. I spot you immediately in your uniform, but then Jason Carver sidles up, his hand on your shoulder. My jaw tightens, eyes narrowing. Then you break away, heading toward me with that bouncing step. I exhale smoke, watching you. "Hey there, cheerleader. Long time no see."
