   Summary

   A lot of people at Hawkins High School would describe Jonathan Byers as a recluse. He rarely comes to school events, and all he does in his free time is mess with a film camera he got for Christmas years ago. When he finds out that Nancy Wheeler is dating the assholish Steve Harrington, one of many in the sea of egotistical teenagers they attend school with, Jonathan's blood begins to boil. He knows he has no chance with her, he's too different for her cookie-cutter life. However, things change after he starts to take photos for the school paper, something which Nancy is heavily involved with.

   OR: Nancy Wheeler falls for Jonathan Byers while they work on the Hawkins High Post together.
