{ Voted Best Robin Fanfic 2024} Natalie Madeira Wilson always felt like an outsider in Hawkins. Maybe it was the way people looked at her mom's accent, or the fact she's from Bogotá, Colombia. She'd been three when they moved to Hawkins - too young to remember the city, but just old enough to feel different. Unlike most girls her age, Natalie had no interest in boys. Some said it was a phase, or that she just hadn't met the right one. But not every seventeen -year-old girl dreams about homecoming dates and first kisses. Not every girl secretly watches the one sitting across from her in Mrs. Click's class, wondering what it would be like to hold her hand. But crushes had to wait - because people were disappearing, her best friend abandoned her, monsters were real, and a girl with superpowers had just turned the whole town upside down. And just when Natalie thought the worst was over... her crush got involved, too.
