Summary
It’s fall 1987, and Will Byers is finally getting a little freedom, stage crew, art electives, and solo trips to the local craft store. A “possessed” shopping cart and a stack of poster boards throw him literally into the path of Chance, a Hawkins High basketball player stuck making pep rally banners he has no idea how to design. Between paint aisles, gym banners, and glow-in-the-dark stars for Jane’s ceiling, Will finds himself pulled into a slow, unexpected orbit with the last person he ever thought would notice him. No monsters, no Upside Down just one very human, very confusing crush slowly taking shape.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”
