Always The Babysitter; A Stranger Things Rewrite
Steve Harrington and Olivia Henderson have been the best of friends since they could remember. It was a coincidence, really. They got put in the same first grade class.
As time went on, they were practically joined at the hip!.. until they turned 12, and Olivia started babysitting her little brother, Dustin, and his best friends, Mike Wheeler, Will Byers and Lucas Sinclair.
A crush on Steve developed for Olivia when they entered the 7th Grade at Hawkins Middle School.
Olivia changed a little in high school. Her clothing got a little darker; black shirts and black Chuck Taylor's. She still wore her denim; she couldn't shy away from it, but she added more than just blue denim jeans. Skirts and shorts were added to her wardrobe.
Steve became popular in High School and was dubbed the King of Hawkins High after the previous King graduated. Steve felt he had to live up to the expectations of being King, but that didn't really stop Olivia from hanging out with him when he wasn't around Tommy H. and Carol.
Things started to change when he became attracted to Nancy Wheeler, Mike's older sister. He started ditched Olivia more for Nancy, and she understood, but didn't like it.
The night Will Byers went missing, it put a few things into perspective for Olivia, like her protectiveness for Dustin grew, as well as her friendship with Will's older brother, Jonathan.
Dustin, of course, dragged his sister into the craziness of Eleven, a mysterious girl with superpowers that showed up out of nowhere.
Will Olivia eventually tell Steve about her feelings for him during their Upside Down adventures, or will she continue to keep it a secret?
