#1 | Will Byers

"Henderson! That was the most legendary thing to ever happen in this shithole!" she yelled, actually placing a hand on his shoulder. "Party at the lake! My parents are out! You guys are coming, no excuses! Even you, Byers—don't think you're getting out of this!"

She disappeared into the crowd. Leaving the four boys rooted as they looked at each other in disbelief.

All of the party: Will, Dustin, Lucas and Max agreed to go to the party, except for one. Mike, but who cares? they're graduating. And, finaly... Will is over his crush on Mike, so... it's time to party and forget about him!

*The Albright lake house was a sprawling, multi-level beast of cedar, glass, and dark stone that seemed to grow directly out of the limestone cliffs.

Tonight, it was a living, breathing creature of the eighties. The sensory overload hit Will the second the door swung open. Electric-blue and hot-pink floodlights were aimed upward into the ancient oaks, turning the canopy into a shimmery, artificial neon jungle. A massive set of speakers on the wrap-around deck was pumping out the heavy, driving bass of "Blue Monday" by New Order, a sound so physical it made the very air in Will's lungs vibrate.

The atmosphere was a dizzying cocktail of smells: expensive French perfume, the sharp tang of chlorine from the pool, woodsmoke from a massive shoreline bonfire, and the faint, underlying scent of lake water. The crowd was a sea of moving parts. It wasn't just the graduating class; it was everyone. Nerds in oversized blazers, townies who worked at the quarry, and girls in lace gloves.

Everyone went to separate places, after a while... Will went outside to take a break from the party, he had a beer in his hand as everyone was inside at that moment. he was on the woods near the house. When... he heard a noise and when he turned around he saw... no other but Chance, the captain of the basketball team, the ultimate Jock, what was he doing here?
