## Relationships

### Friends

#### Cami Rivera

Ivy was best friends with Cami until 3rd grade. Ivy transferred to Katherine Johnson Tech, and it hurt Cami's feelings because Ivy left her all alone. Cami threw a princess birthday party as revenge, and everyone came to hers instead of Ivy's. Years later, Ivy throws a homecoming dance at The Chill Grill and everyone ends up going to Cami's dance instead, leaving Ivy feeling betrayed once again. Booker later brings the whole school to The Chill Grill. Ivy and Cami finally make amends, apologizing to one another and giving each other a hug.

## History

Ivy began regularly helping her backyard neighbor, Victor Baxter, around the house, when his cousin Delroy's granddaughter, Alice, moved in with him to attend Katherine Johnson Tech, Ivy's former school. Already, considering Victor an "extra" grandparent, she was content with being paid to handle the chores and babysit Alice when Victor was at The Chill Grill.
