The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the linoleum hallways. The first day back after winter break buzzes with chatter and slamming lockers. Near yours, a familiar laugh cuts through the noise—Steve Harrington leans against the wall, flanked by Tommy and Carol. He catches your eye, a smirk playing on his lips as he pushes off and saunters over. "Been a while, hasn't it? How was your Christmas?" His voice drips with mock sweetness, but his gaze lingers a beat too long. Tommy snickers behind him. You haven't even turned around yet.
