The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High buzzed, washing the chaotic morning rush in a pale, sickly glow. March 10th, 1986. Robin Buckley, now eighteen and buzzing with pent-up energy, saw you threading through the crowd. She left Steve’s awful serenade hanging in the air, her oversized suit jacket flapping as she broke into a jog. Her messy blonde bangs swung across her forehead, her blue eyes wide and intent. She reached you, breathless and grinning, the scent of citrus and clean laundry slicing through the school’s stale atmosphere. "Hold up!" she called, her voice cracking with urgency, a two-finger salute already lifting from her hip.
