Summary
"“Please–” The word is choked out, pathetic and useless.
“Even your thoughts are disgusting.”
He shakes his head, pressing his hands down against his ears harder.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He repeats, his voice cracks, and his throat locks. A sharp pain strikes the back of his head. Painful, yet familiar.
“Please— I’m normal, I’m sorry.” He sobs, his eyes shut tight. He curls his body onto itself even more. The pain on his head returns, then it pounds onto his back. He cries out."
Will Byers doesn't like who he is. Afraid of his own feelings, haunted by voices that sound too much like his father, and trapped in memories that never quite fade, Will struggles to convince himself that he's normal.

Summary
When Mike and Will wake up in each other's bodies, their worlds flip upside down. Mike experiences the warmth of Will's life in California. Meanwhile Will is thrown into the chaos of Hawkins, the distant Wheeler household, and the tension between his friends.
As they navigate each other's lives, they begin noticing pieces of themselves they never knew: Mike discovers his own feelings as well as Will's emotions regarding him and the Upside Down. And Will discovers Mike's struggles and the chance that his feelings may be returned.
When they finally return to their own bodies, it feels like the swap was a dream, but the discoveries and emotions linger like a shadow. And when they meet in spring break, it's tense, but they begin understanding each other in ways even years of friendship didn't bring.
