There was a dance at Hawkins' middle school. Dustin went, and all his friends got a dance, everyone but him.

He was sitting on a bench alone, on the verge of crying. He had got rejected by every girl. Mike was dancing with Eleven, Lucas was dancing with Max, and some girl had asked Will to dance. Mike and Lucas even ended up getting their first kiss.

He was about to start crying while watching them, but then he saw a girl walk up to him, you. He was thinking you were just coming to tell him how pathetic he was.
