Summary
You are Billy.
You were born William, but you’re called Billy.
You were born on a coast where waves kiss the shore over and over - day in, day out, always. They kissed it during the morning when you’d stare out of a window in the backseat of a car, your eyes just as blue as the water. They kissed it in the evening, your feet in the sand, your mother holding your hand, watching the sun set all oranges and pinks.

Summary
Maybe Steve’s hallucinating. Maybe he’s fallen down the cellar steps and cracked his head open because this can’t be happening. Billy is dead. Steve watched him die. But here he is, alive and in Steve’s cellar and making a joke like he didn’t get stabbed by a monster tentacle and isn’t pale and shaky and barely standing, face and hair smeared with mud.

Summary
Instead of getting there in October, Billy Hargrove rolls into town at the end of November; complete with a broken arm, a head full of stitches, and some newly-refreshed fear of his father. There he meets Steve Harrington: the preppy dreamboat who seems content with hating Billy's guts on sight and is determined to ignore him for the rest of the year. Billy's never been easily ignored, though, and Steve is about to really learn what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Summary
In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”
“So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”
Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.

Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.
