Summary
Dustin reached over to flick him in the middle of the forehead. “It'll be me and you, this summer, asshole. And because I am a top tier friend, you're welcome, by the way, I have secured us jobs working at the radio station this summer!”
Will opened an eye to peer at him. Dustin’s curls were sticking to his forehead under his hat and he looked ridiculous in his Hawkins High gold t-shirt and gym shorts. “You got us jobs?”
“I told you, Buddy!” Dustin leaned back beside him. “You and me this summer. This is going to be our summer.”
Or
Summer in Hawkins was supposed to be easy.
Instead, Will Byers gets a new house, a family that argues about Eggos and shower schedules, a brother who comes out before he does, and a best friend who keeps acting like Will is “just a friend.”
With the Party drifting, feelings piling up, and Dustin announcing Operation: Best Summer Ever, Will tries to make it through a summer that looks suspiciously like 1985—but hopefully ends better.

Summary
“So. Logical conclusion?” Dustin grinned down at him, pleased. “You’re in love with Mike and heartbroken that he and El made up. You’re welcome.”
Will sighed. “Dustin, I already knew I was in love with Mike.”
Will Byers is not avoiding his friends—he’s just busy.
Busy avoiding Mike Wheeler, busy lying about homework, and busy trying (and failing) to get over the boy he’s been in love with for years.
Unfortunately, Dustin Henderson has noticed. And he has a plan.

Summary
“Michael. Are you aware of how jealous you sound right now?”
“I’m not jealous! I am concerned for my best friend’s safety.”
Or
Mike Wheeler is not jealous. He is simply deeply concerned that their neighbor is attempting to kidnap Will Byers using baked goods and borrowed spices. This is normal best-friend behavior. Totally.Bookmarked by pandelisi
