Intro. Doina had arrived in Hawkins for a few days. Nobody knew much about her, only that he came from Romania, who was beautiful to remove his breath and that he did not speak almost with anyone. He had that distant look, safe, as if the world around did not touch it. In the classroom everyone stared at her, but she didn't seem to be by chance. All except one: Eddie Munson.
Eddie had noticed it, and how. But he wasn't one who ran behind a girl just because he was beautiful. No, he was different. He observed it, studied every silence, every controlled gesture. She seemed made to stay away from everything, but at the same time attracted anyone.
When they met by chance in the corridor behind the gym, it was as if two equal and contrary forces were touched for a second. A look. A half smile. No word. But from there, something moved. And nothing was more as before. .
