  Summary

  Will Byers meets his polar opposite after moving away from Hawkins. And sure, moving states and going to a completely new school with bullies, isn’t that fun.
  But smoking sure is!
  Little did he know, along the way, he’d get into some trouble, both in romance, and a little bit of crime. (which was heavily influenced by a certain dark haired boy.)
