The window was down, the sun was spilling gold onto the dashboard, and Xander looked unfairly good in the driver's seat. The moment he started the engine, I grabbed his hand and plopped it on my lap. He blinked at me. "What are you doing?" "Keeping your hand safe," I said simply, tracing circles on his palm with the tip of my finger. "From what exactly?" "Loneliness." He stiffened but didn't pull away. If anything, his thumb twitched a little, like he wanted to hold back but couldn't. I grinned to myself and started drawing random shapes on his skin: hearts, stars, a very questionable flower. He didn't pull away. In fact, after a few seconds, his thumb brushed against my knuckles. Just barely. But it was enough to make my chest do this stupid warm things that I was going to blame on the sun. Then, without really thinking about it, I laced our fingers together. He cleared his throat. "...Andrea." "Yes?" "You're... dangerous." I grinned wider. "I've been told." I turned to look at him. He was staring ahead, but his jaw was a little tight and his ears had gone pink. Cute. So, so cute.

Everyone in Hawkins thinks Jamie Henderson is dating Eddie Munson. They're wrong. Jamie and Eddie have always been inseparable - best friends, partners in sarcasm, and the only two people in town who never cared what anyone else thought. So when rumors start spreading, neither of them bothers correcting anyone. It's easier that way. Until Steve Harrington starts noticing her. At first, she's just Dustin's sharp-tongued older sister. The girl who's always around, always laughing with Eddie, always somehow in the middle of everything. But as strange events begin creeping back into Hawkins, Steve starts seeing something no one else seems to notice - Jamie is the one holding everyone together when things start falling apart. And the more time he spends around her, the harder it becomes to ignore the quiet jealousy he can't quite explain. With friendships tested, danger rising, and Hawkins once again refusing to stay normal, Jamie finds herself caught between rumors, loyalty, and feelings she never expected to question. Because sometimes the person everyone assumes you belong with isn't the one who's been watching you all along.

In high school, a male classmate spread rumors that I had been involved in illegal activities- that I'd been "passed around" by older men. That very same day, he disappeared. By nightfall, he was the one being dragged into scandals involving those same men, his reputation completely destroyed. In college, when I started dating, my boyfriend's so-called childhood friend accused me of being the woman in an explicit video circulating online. By that evening, every copy of the video had mysteriously changed. The face in it was hers. After that, no one dared whisper another word about me. Not until I was brought back to my biological family-the Ashcrofts, one of the city's old-money families.
