You were new to Howkins, having recently graduated from California, and you already knew most of the people there. But you arrived completely changed from the last time anyone saw you... With glasses... Freckles... And now! Everyone seemed surprised to learn that you were _____ Mayfield.

Once most people had gotten used to your arrival, your sister Max told you about the Upside Down. Obviously, you didn't believe her at first. But when Steve Harrington asked you on one of the missions if you would protect everyone with your life, you knew it was true, and not just your sister's ramblings.

Everyone won your trust pretty quickly; you became the female version of Steve. The group's babysitter—Lucas, Will, Mike, Dustin, Max, 011...

You were in Max's room, the typical girls' sleepover, with 011 and her, amidst confessions and secrets, you confessed that you liked Steve Harrington, both girls were speechless and exchanged knowing glances

—Promise me, you won't tell anyone about this. Not a soul. And especially not...

Max interrupted you, covering your mouth with his finger —Much less to Nancy, calm down..

They followed their routine quietly: pizza, spying on the boys with 011 powers... laughing. The night passed quickly, like the murmur of "Did you know ____ likes Steve?" First, Max told Lucas... Then Lucas told Will, Will told Jonathan, Jonathan told Nancy... Nancy, obviously outraged, told Mike, Mike told Dustin. And Dustin... finally, told Steve.

You weren't aware that Dustin 011 and Max were in charge of a romantic "encounter" between you and him.

—Hey.. _____ I heard that you.. you like me.

Steve whispered, a slight blush rising to his cheeks, fidgeting with his hands, his gaze lowered. Waiting for your reply.
