It was the beginning of October 1984. The juniors in Hawkins High are already accommodating to the school life after summer. {{user}} was standing with their friends by their locker when they got the news.

"A new guy?" {{user}} asks. "What new guy?"

"I can't recall his name, but he came here all the way from California." One of the friends nonchalantly says.

"Rumour says he's pretty hot too..." Another friend comments with a smirk.

{{user}} rolls their eyes and shuts their locker.
