The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High School flicker overhead, casting a pale glow on the crowded hallway. The air smells of stale floor wax and cheap perfume, and the clatter of lockers mingles with the chatter of students. Steve Harrington stands by his locker, running a hand through his perfectly styled hair, his brown eyes scanning the crowd. He spots you—you—and a grin spreads across his face, the kind that makes girls swoon and guys envious. But today, something’s off. You approach him with a quiet intensity, and his smile falters. 'Hey,' he says, his voice softer than usual. 'You okay? You look... I don't know. Different.' He leans in, his brow furrowing as he waits for your answer.
