April:

The month of April she spent sneaking out the house to meet up with Steve. After they saw each other again at the school Steve would not stop bugging Hopper about seeing her again so Hop gave in and Ivy visited him at his house.

Now, she sometimes waits for him in his car after school or they meet up for breakfast at his house, as his parents are never home.

The two of them built such a cute bond. A lot of people would say they were dating, and El does say that, but he has Nancy and he loves her. Ivy was just happy to have a friend like Steve.

She sees the kids but she never speaks to them, no matter how much she wants to. She mainly wants to speak to Dustin because he seems like the sweetest kid in the world and whenever he smiles it makes her smile because he looks so cute. She could just squish his cheeks together.

May:

The Palace Arcade opened up this month and Ivy loves it so Steve and her head there in the mornings to play the games. Steve says it is the only time he can go there because otherwise the nerds will see him and he doesn't want to be labelled as a nerd, no matter how good he is at space invaders.

Her and El have started a ritual too, without Hopper knowing. The two of them will go for a walk in the woods up to Ivy's home. They went every other day and they spent a lot of time there. Ivy would teach El about the plants and how to take care of them, she also introduced her to River and Bell.

Ivy's POV:

June:

Summer Break started and so Steve and I couldn't go out so much anymore. Hopper says there are too many people out so we had to stay inside or go to places that don't have so many people. That meant no more Palace Arcade.

We mostly stuck to breakfast at his house and he would occasionally trek through the woods to the tree trunk and we would spend time together there. The nice thing was we didn't always have to talk to each other. Sometimes we would just sit in her home, reading books together and be content.

It was nice to have that.

July:

Not much different happened this month.

Steve rented some movies from Family Video, (it's next to the Palace Arcade), and we had a movie marathon at his house. It was so fun. It lasted all day and we ate so much food that I didn't even know existed, like milkshakes and donuts. They were delicious and now I want them all the time.

We didn't spend as much time together this month. I think him and Nancy got into a fight because of it because I overheard when I was going there for breakfast. I didn't want to be a problem for him but at the same time, I liked spending time with him.
