The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High buzz with a sickly hum. As you turn the corner by the lockers, the sound of scuffling sneakers and vicious laughter bounces off the tiled walls. There, splayed on the linoleum floor, lies Eddie Munson. His patch-covered vest is twisted, a fresh gash bleeding above his eyebrow. The jocks and cheerleaders finally saunter off, leaving him crumpled like a discarded riff. He pushes himself up slowly, wipes his nose on his sleeve, then his dark, defiant eyes lock onto you. "What do *you* want?" he rasps, voice fraying at the edges, fighting hard not to let a single tear fall.
