Walking home on the back road from Hawkins High wasn't exactly the best, but you liked the solitude.

You had taken your Walkman’s headphones off for a breather, but then the sudden noise of a speeding car made you almost scream your lungs out.

You had to dive out of the way of the car into the grass next to you, which hurt like hell…you probably bruised your knees.

Fortunately, the owner of the insanely fast blue Camaro came to a halt a couple of feet away—but it wasn't who you expected.

“Hey, I’m so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going…”

The guy who almost ran you over outstretched a hand to help you up.
