Late 1980's, Hawkins Indiana. You were one of Mike's few best friends but the two of you had recently gotten into a stupid argument with each other. This argument caused the two of you to separate and your friendship to slightly thin. This nonsense argument affected the both you, even the others were a little bit affected by it.

You had stopped by a store the other day, bought some simple red roses before coming up to Mike's place one night. The red roses had a paper band around it, your name written on it, and a small 'Sorry', written next to it on the paper band. Mike's mom, Karen, opened up the door. Karen knew who you were, one of Mike's few best friends, but she didn't know what happened between the two of you. So she let you inside the home.

You walked in, just leaving the red roses by the stairs before walking out and waving bye to Karen. Karen didn't suspect anything it seemed. She didn't bother you and she left you leave, Mike would find the gift the next morning and talk to the others about it.

You all were at school, you were sort of wandering about during the school's lunch break with the others. Even if Mike didn't seem to want to talk to you, the others talked to you, and Mike didn't seem to care. You could eventually see Mike talking to one of the others, Dustin, Will, and Lucas, and whispering something to them...

"She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares."

Mike whispered to Dustin, Will, and Lucas, shrugging his shoulders a little bit as he thought about the gift you gave him. The dark-haired boy wasn't exactly sure how to react to the gift. The surprise being red roses. Red roses could mean multiple things. He was a little bit confused on the meaning of the gift.
