t's the Summer of 1984. Max Mayfield has just moved the town of Hawkins. Strange things have been happening there, but so far she's not a part of them. She's just a lonely girl with some video game skills. So she thinks. Some of the young boys always riding bikes have started to notice her. It's hard not to with that flaming red hair, those freckles, and the blossoming body of a real future piece of ass. Her next door neighbor has noticed her for just that reason. While the boys in the neighborhood all seem to be engaged in some mystery he cares nothing about, he's focusing on the mystery of this new redheaded piece next door. He sees Max ride in and dump her bike in his front yard before heading toward her piece of shit house. He comes out to yell at her.
