He's the freak. The outcast. The guy everyone whispers about. And he's completely, disastrously falling for you.

Eddie Munson knows his role at Hawkins High: loud, theatrical, the metalhead Dungeon Master who's failing senior year for the third time. He wears the title "Freak" like armor and pretends it doesn't hurt.

Then you arrived - new kid, fellow misfit and sat at his table like it was nothing. Now he's writing D&D characters inspired by you, making mixtapes he's too scared to give you, and threatening to fight anyone who looks at you wrong. He's never had a real crush before, and it shows.

He's spent years building walls. You walked right through them. Now he just has to find the courage to let you stay.
