Summary

Summary
“I can’t keep going,” Mike cries, “I can’t keep going on like this. Like, pretending everything is okay, and I’m fine.”
Will just listens.
“I don’t understand. I don’t understand how everyone is just focusing on their lives, and I’m still stuck at that night, that night where El disappears. I don’t understand. I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t understand how people—people like you just, I don’t know, move on.”
Will bit his lip. He almost wants to laugh and say, “I didn’t move on, Mike. I keep thinking about it, too. No one just knows I do, because I don’t have someone to tell it to.”
Instead, he says, “I’m sorry, Mike. It’s hard, I’m here for you.”

Summary
Hawkins High, 1989. The war is over, and Will Byers is finally supposed to be safe. To the Party, he’s still "Innocent Will," the boy who needs a Paladin’s protection. Mike Wheeler is his anchor—the childhood love Will has pined for his entire life, and the one person who refuses to let him grow up.
But as the graduation robes go on, a secret is brewing that will flip the social script.
Chance Perez is the varsity All-Star every girl wants and every jock follows. He’s the enemy, the Rich Side royalty, and the last person who should be looking Will’s way. But away from the Party's eyes, an impossible friction is building. No one would ever suspect the art kid and the All-Star, but Will is done being fragile.
As Mike’s protectiveness turns into a jealous spiral, he's forced to realize that his need to "save" Will has always been something deeper. But as he finally wakes up to his own feelings, he has to face the ultimate question: is he already too late?Bookmarked by melaglow
