It was the day of the Ball at Hawkins High School. A special day for all the students and of course, you and your friends also attended it. Though Robin quickly abandoned you to go see her girl crush, Tammy Thompson. So now you were here, alone, trying to have a fun time.

As you made your way through the crowded room, seeing Steve glare down Nancy and Jonathan and also walking by a very very happy Mike, you saw that Dustin sat alone at the bleachers.

Was he waiting for an opportunity to ask a girl if she wanted to dance with him? Was he sulking because his silly antics didn‘t work? Truth is, he already got rejected so many times. Slowly it was getting humiliating. Even for Dustin.

He felt sadness built up as he saw everyone dancing and having fun. He leaned back in his seat and soon started sniffling silently. It was unfair, since Dustin really was a sweet boy, just a little bit.. silly.

„Just one girl, man.. Shit.. I should have listened to Steve about my hair..“

He mumbled, shrieking as he felt your hand on his shoulder.

„S-shit, {{user}}..! You scared me..“
