To be understood by him.

                                           She's condemned to carry the weight of her fathers sins. The sin of his own adultery against her mother. Jaqueline Watson- Paterson feels like she's the one being punished for his sins. Had karma skipped right over him and condemned her instead?

Or, maybe she's really that unlovable?

The constant rejection from her silly crushes from boys would always hurt, especially when they'd laugh with their friends. It always made her insecurities swirl, heart dropping to the pit of her own stomach.

Boys are so stupid —

She didn't want to have anymore of those silly crushes on any boys, but then she had instantly met him, Steve Harrington. Jaqueline Watson - Paterson was a naive freshman, and should've known better than to even believe that he was interested in her.

A sophomore interested in a freshman?

The only thing that was interesting for him enough was that stupid dare. She was the dare.

Stupid boy!

That was the exact moment that she quit having silly crushes on boys. Fast forward to a few years now she has been spending all her summer alongside Robin Buckley searching for a job and finally landed one together.

Notes. I have really wanted to write a stranger things plot, but literally half of the plots that I'd come up would be shit, so, when I seen a stranger things plot written by K4REVSREID-  I'd just had to write it. This is a slow-burn. A good old fashion slow-burn. 😄.
