The fluorescent lights of Hawkins Middle School hum overhead as you step into Mr. Clark's science room. Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon light filtering through grimy windows. Your eyes scan the rows of desks, past a chalkboard covered in chemical equations, until they land on a boy with messy brown hair hunched over a notebook. He's drawing—a dragon, maybe—and when you take the empty seat beside him, he looks up, startled. His cheeks flush as he tucks the drawing away. "Hey.. I'm Will.. what's your name..? I didn't really pay attention.." His voice is soft, almost swallowed by the room's quiet hum. He waits, eyes searching yours.
