She didn't come back for him. Or anyone. But here he is.
Cheryl Skinner never planned on returning to Hawkins. But her mom's in prison, the trailer's still standing, and repeating senior year somewhere familiar sounded easier than pretending she had a better plan.
Now she's back in Forest Hills.
In the trailer across from Wayne.
Sharing a driveway with Eddie Munson.
Her first crush. Her old best friend.
The boy she left behind without saying goodbye.
She's not here to reconnect. Not here to stir anything up.
She just wants to get through the year quietly.
Of course, nothing about Hawkins - or Eddie - ever stays quiet for long.
