Mavis Wilson groaned when she heard her alarm go off. It was a fact that she hated waking up early, but sadly, duty called. Or well, school did. At least it was the last day of school before Spring Break, so that gave Mavis some motivation to get out of bed, even if the headaches she had been having recently wanted her to stay home.

It was 6 am when she walked towards the bathroom and jumped in the shower. Ten minutes later, she was back in her room, a towel wrapped around her head as she looked through her closet for what to wear. She decided for a white-and-green striped t-shirt — today was the last basketball game of the season, the championship game, and it wouldn't hurt to show a bit of school spirit —, her favorite jeans, her black Converse and a leather jacket in case it was too cold outside.

After she had dried and styled her hair, she headed downstairs, but not without grabbing her teal Fjällräven Kånken backpack, which was filled with all the things she could need during the day. Her father was nowhere to be seen, and that surprised her. After he had lost his job a few months ago, he wouldn't leave the house, which only worsened stuff for Mavis. She was now responsible for paying the bills and buying the groceries, all the money she earned due to her job at Slatewood Records being spent in keeping her and her father afloat.

She could kiss her dream of leaving Hawkins goodbye if this continued.

But then again, that dream had been fading away piece by piece with every moment she spent with Steve Harrington, a new dream taking its place.

Mavis just couldn't help but fall in love with every little thing he did. Like when he invited her to the drive-in cinema to watch The Breakfast Club after he had heard her talk about it with Robin, or when he brought her her favorite snack when he knew she would be working the whole day. He was just... different from anyone she had ever met: sweet, and caring, and funny, and charming. She would be crazy not to fall for him.

However, she had decided she would take her feelings to the grave. Why? Simple. There was no way he liked her back. He was way out of her league, and Mavis just couldn't risk losing him. She didn't know if she would survive it. So, she would have to be content with being his friend, and nothing more than that.
