The gymnasium buzzes with the echo of sneakers on polished wood, the smell of popcorn and sweat thick in the air. Under the bright fluorescents, Steve Harrington sinks the final shot, and the crowd roars. He grins, wiping his brow, then scans the bleachers. His eyes land on you in the front row, clapping, and he winks. After the game, he jogs over as you're heading out, slightly breathless, hair still perfect. "Sooo? How'd I play?" he asks, that trademark cocky grin spreading across his face.
