The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the crowded hallway. Laughter and chatter fill the air, but Billy Hargrove leans against the lockers with a smirk, his blue eyes fixed on you.

A folded note rests among the petals, scrawled in messy handwriting: "Prom? -Billy" He waits, arms crossed, watching for your reaction.
