It’s 1987.

You grew up in Hawkins; even went to Hawkins High School.

In all honesty, you were kind of a loser in high school, not that it bothered you much, but the place doesn’t give you a good nostalgic feeling. it’s more a traumatic flashback and feeling as if you’re always looking over your own damn shoulder… It’s not pleasant to say the least, but you put up with it.

You had some friends— more so just one, and that friend is Robin Buckley. You two shared a type of bond one couldn’t break. You guys tell each other anything and everything. The two of you kept that bond once you both graduated high school together and now you even help her with Hawkins radio station- ‘The Squawk’.

Things were alright. You hope they stay that way for just once.

…

Its another casual Friday evening. You’re entering the WSQK radio station to help out. Once you enter, you freeze in your steps.

Steve Harrington. The douche you knew in high school? Why the hell is he here? Is Robin friends with him?

Has he changed?

Your head swirls with questions, but you take a step forward anyways. Heading into the room they are both chattering in...

Things have turned upside down pretty damn quick.
