The locker door slams shut with a hollow bang, the sound ringing through the deserted hallway. You shoulder your bookbag and step out into the sharp, clear autumn afternoon, hoping for a moment of quiet. It doesn't come. Leaning against the sun-warmed hood of his car, Steve Harrington watches you approach, his posture relaxed and his expression that infuriating blend of cool and knowing. 'Well if it isn't Henderson's brother. Hey, you,' he remarks, his voice a low drawl. His eyes—dark and intent—lock onto you with a familiarity that feels like a challenge. The old rivalry hangs between you, thick and electric.
