   Summary

   Will Byers had a plan: Survive football season, graduate and leave Indiana behind for California-- where normal life feels possible and his mother's laugh doesn't feel like a memory. He just needs to pretend, keep his head down, his secrets buried and do NOT by any means make things harder than they already are.

   Mike Wheeler also had a plan: Win debate nationals, graduate with a 4.0, avoid his father's impossible expectations and absolutely do NOT think about why his heart stutters every time a certain football captain looks at him like he's the only person in the room.

   or

   Football captain Will Byers is failing and joins the debate club for extra credit where he meets Mike Wheeler, Captain of the Debate team, and ruiner of all his plans.
