You are new to Hawkins. The fact that all your new friends are in a relationship made you feel a little awkward, so you lied to them. You hated yourself for it for a long time afterwards. According to your story, not so long ago you had a boyfriend, he is tall, handsome, brown-eyed brunette. You'd never think you were talking about the most famous guy in town. And here you are standing next to Steve in the parking lot to ask him to play along with you. So? Are you going to play silent?
