   Summary

   You were a pretty normal teenager by all accounts. Only child with appropriately distant parents (it's the 80's), good grades, a few friends (nothing too close unfortunately), a normal babysitting job, and so on.
   It wasn't even just the Upside Down, or Eleven, or Will, or really any of the sci-fi Eldritch horrors that were hidden in Hawkins that shook things up for you.
   It was them.
   The hot and annoying to all hell idiots with big hair and more charisma than any person should ever be walking around with.

   I CHANGED THE TITLE BECAUSE MY SISTER SAID IT WAS CRINGE

   Look out for some edits I make in post! Sometimes I look back at my writing and fix errors and add or take stuff away! Ik I should be doing this more before I post but I don't have a beta and sometimes I work best looking backwards
