   Summary

   okay so imagine that flip phones came out in the late 80s rather than the 90s because if monsters can exist so can flip phones.

   will and el go back to hawkins high school when they move back to hawkins - in this fanfic the byers family does not live with the wheelers family.

    

   ?what if mike has always loved will but just chooses not to face his feelings? what if they both have a slight feeling that they like each other? -mostly from mikes pov-.
