Secrecy is Safer - Max Mayfield Fanfic

Being an LGBTQ teenager in the 80s is not exactly easy or safe. Constantly scared that you're gonna get knocked off your bike on the way home or tormented in the school corridors if anybody knew the truth. Well that's exactly how Eleanora feels. She's known since she was a young girl that she didn't exactly have the same feelings for boys as the girls in her classes did, fortunately her twin brother, Theodore felt a similar way.

Eleanora knows not to catch feelings. She knows that it's never going to work out between her and any girl in her school. She thought it would be easy. Just get through school and then you'll never have to deal with these assholes again. But when a ginger haired girl moves down to Hawkins from California... she can't stop herself.
