    Summary

    Mike never had many friends. He was always the loser who sat alone at his own lunch table, or was the last to partner up in gym class.

    It didn’t particularly bother him, not until that moment in time, as he looked out the window and watched the trees blur together in one green smudge on a canvas. He tuned out his parents, who chatted idly as they drove further and further away from Hawkins.

    It was then and there, that Mike Wheeler made the executive decision to change.

    - Or -

    After Mike attempts to come out to his father, shit hits the fan and he scrambles to land on his feet… by joining Sigma Chi.

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.
