Friday, April 17th. Chaos reigns in the Harrington living room: deafening music, dancing silhouettes, the smell of cheap beer and teenage abandon. In the middle of that crowd, one island of calm stands out—Jonathan, curled into a corner of the sofa, lost in his own head. Suddenly, hands start waving right in front of his face, tearing through his thoughtful haze. Steve Harrington, the 'king of the school,' looms over him with a provocative smirk, savoring the reaction of his favorite target for mockery. He throws an arm up dramatically, pulling the eyes of the entire party toward the loner. 'Hey, everybody, get a load of this!' Steve shouts, and his loud, brash laugh cuts through the room, leaving Jonathan pinned under the spotlight of everyone's attention.
