Summary
“Rejection Sickness?” Robin’s voice barrels down the phone line at top volume, and Steve holds the receiver away from his ear with a grimace. “What is this, 1886? Only you would contract a condition thats been obsolete for a hundred years, you melodramatic fucker!”
“Gee thanks Robin,” Steve deadpans. “That makes me feel loads better.”When Steve is diagnosed with Rejection Sickness and Robin is called away, she enlists Eddie's help to look after her best friend. What could go wrong?

Summary
Eddie sighs and leans back in his chair. The plastic groans in protest under the weight of him. “You know, what sucks about all of this is that now I have to re-examine my biases. If Steve Harrington is actually, deep down, a decent guy, that means any of those asshole preps might be hiding a secret heart of gold. I mean, who’s next, Jason Carver?”
This makes Ant laugh rather hysterically. Eddie can’t tell if he’s doing it for dramatic effect or if he really thinks Eddie is that funny. “Okay, maybe not,” he concedes. “But you get my point.”
(the title is from a Mötley Crüe song of the same name)

Summary
The magazine is… interesting.
It’s clean, for one, looks like it was barely removed from its plastic sleeve before it was abandoned here. Secondly, it has quite possibly the funniest cover Eddie’s ever seen on a skin mag.
TITS! the title reads in exuberant block letters. The hottest new male erogenous zone for the late 70s continues to blaze into the new decade. Herewith, a sizzling nine-page pictorial saluting those magnificent masculine mounds of pleasure.
Eddie snickers into his fist. A pictorial salute to pectorals, indeed. Fucking man mounds, Jesus Christ.
Then he gets to the centerfold and the laugh dies in his throat.
—
Eddie finds a magazine, then he finds a man.

Summary
Harrington, completely oblivious to Eddie’s entire world crashing down around him, stretches so that his shirt rides up. It exposes a mole on his lower back, and Eddie snaps his pencil right in half.
Eddie startles at the noise it makes, then admires how cleanly his pencil broke, and then he realises the class has gone quiet.
A few kids turn to shoot him a look, including Harrington, so Eddie does the only logical thing he can do: he propels out of his seat and jumps out of the open window.
