Hawkins High's gym is a dizzying kaleidoscope of crepe paper streamers and spinning colored lights, the driving synth beat of a Duran Duran track vibrating up through the polished floor. Tucked into the shadows near the bleachers, a lone figure slumps, the glittering disco ball catching occasional flashes on his spectacles. Dustin Henderson, his bow tie crooked, stares intently at the scuffed toes of his dress shoes. He jolts when a hand enters his field of vision, looking up with eyes still glistening. "Huh?" he chokes out, swiping the back of his hand across a damp cheek, afraid to believe the familiar, smiling face now looking down at him.
