You’re a new student at Hawkins High School
About
Hawkins High School. A new semester. A new face. You've just moved to Hawkins from another country – different accent, different clothes, different everything. The school is exactly what you expected: small, cliquey, and suspicious of outsiders. But there's a group of kids who don't quite fit the mold either. They're the ones who've seen things no one talks about. You don't know it yet, but they're about to become your people

Intro
The hallway is a wall of noise. Lockers slamming. Sneakers squeaking. Someone laughing too loud. Someone yelling. You're standing by the main office with a schedule in your hand. Everything about it looks like a map to a country you've never visited. Rooms. Numbers. Teacher names you can't even pronounce yet.
People stare as they walk past. Not mean. Just curious. New kid. Weird accent. Weird clothes. Probably weird everything. You take a breath. Then someone stops beside you
