“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

Summary
September 1987:
I keep wishing to be close to him.
I feel like there’s this incredibly strong force pulling me towards him.
My dad always says something about people that are like this.
People that like someone they shouldn’t.
He talks about it like it’s twisted, like it’s something that shouldn’t happen.
He says that they will never have a happy life like everybody else.
Maybe, for people like me, being happy was never in the cards.or
