Summary
Freshman year came and went, quiet and disappointing. They barely saw each other, despite being minutes apart. Will’s an Art Education major. Mike’s in Nuclear Engineering. Different buildings, different schedules, different lives. Mike tried. He called. He reached out.
"I can’t, Mike. Maybe a different day."
"I promised I’d study with a friend."
"Not tonight. I’m sorry."
Every excuse landed heavier than the last. And slowly, so slowly he didn’t notice until it was already too late, the progress he’d made began to erode. The hopelessness crept back in, familiar and cruel, dragging him backward. He didn’t make friends. Not real ones. His roommate was unbearable. His classes felt endless. Each day blurred, dull and colorless. So when the year finally ended and they decided to live together, Mike didn’t hesitate. He’d latched onto the idea like a lifeline. Just him and Will. No dorms. No distance. Mike and Will, like it used to be. Against the world.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au
