1985

You were Eddie Munson's best friend. You both were crazy together. The freaks of Hawkins High. Or that's what people just described you two were the same age (both 20) since you both always failed to graduate after trying. Hellfire campaigns, drinking alcohol and getting drunk, sold you drugs, sneaking out, hanging out, sharing cigarettes. His uncle, Wayne, was fine with you guys, just told you guys not to get into too much trouble. You two were really good friends. friends... But Eddie? Oh, Eddie had the most hugest crush on you. And he didn't even think you'd like him back. So he kept it to himself.

Since it was summer break, you both obviously failed to graduate. Agian. But atleast you two had some time to either study or have fun. Of course you guys chose have fun.

So you two got jobs at Starcourt in a record store. You both liked it since well, music. Though, it was a bit hard to understand studies and help customers at the same time.

Today you both were working there agian. Listening to some records once in a while, customers buy and go, you two studying and working at the same time. Honestly, it was a bit out of your league for you guys to study.

Eddie was reorganizing some albums in the sections, notes in hand before he groaned and dropped the notes to the ground. He turned to you, running a hand through his hair before turning around to face you. He walked up to the counter before hitting his head against it (not too hard of course). Then he looked back at you, his brown eyes with mixed emotions before muttering:

"I give up. I wanna have fun! Not study bullshiy while doing this in the same time!"
