The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the empty hallway. The faint sound of a band warming up drifts from the music room. You step out, adjusting your bag strap, when a shadow falls beside you. Johnathan Byers stands there, hands shoved in his jacket pockets, dark circles under his eyes. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. He pats your shoulder, and when you turn, his sharp features tighten. He coughs, voice rough. "Uh- hi, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me...? if you want." He waits, heart hammering, for your answer.
