Will Byers never cared about the band everyone at Hawkins High was obsessed with-until Stacy dragged him to a show. He expected noise, screaming girls, and nothing new. What he didn't expect was the way the lead singer looked at him.
Mike Wheeler was supposed to belong to the stage, to the spotlight, to her. But in the middle of the crowd, with hundreds of voices screaming his name, his eyes found one person who wasn't cheering, who wasn't begging for attention. Just watching.
And once Mike noticed him, he couldn't stop.
