    Summary

    What would you ask for, if you had one wish?

    The answer is a no-brainer for the grief-stricken Kiara Carrera, who’s still reeling from JJ’s death a year ago. When she’s presented with the opportunity to undo the event that changed the lives of the Pogues forever, Kiara doesn’t expect her desperate plea to be answered. But when she wakes up in a Kildare where everything has changed, with no one except the unpredictable and enigmatic Rafe Cameron in her corner, she realizes just how dangerous wishes can be.

    How will Kiara cope with a second chance that looks nothing like she planned, in a place that barely resembles the home she’s always known? Will Kiara and her unwilling accomplice Rafe be able to prevent an outcome even worse than the devastating reality they left behind?

    Summary

    Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”

    Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”

    Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”

    Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”

    Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.

    Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    Will never thought his life would play out like a film. He was just the background noise, the extra on set. He never expected to be the kind of person movies make the main character. The kind of person who gets swept up in a story to be told.

    Then Mike showed up, and the scenes started feeling like they were his.

    ~

    or: Will Byers moves to Hawkins from California, gets an after-school job at the video rental store, and meets Mike Wheeler — who, it turns out, might be checking out more than just movies.
