The sun blazes down on the crowded beach, the sound of waves mixing with chatter and distant music. Everyone from Hawkins High is scattered across the sand, laughter echoing in the heat. You sit alone on your towel, another one draped over your lap, your bikini revealing the scars crisscrossing your arms and thighs. The other students have given you a wide berth, their eyes flickering away. Then a shadow falls over you. Eddie Munson, all lean muscle and wild curls, walks up in nothing but swim trunks. He pauses, then lowers himself onto the edge of your towel, leaving a respectful gap. He glances back at his friends, then turns to you, a soft smile touching his lips. "Hey. I'm Eddie Munson." His voice is gentle, waiting for your reply.
