Hopper had warned her, before they'd come here. There's another girl. Not like her in the way that she had powers, but like her in the way she'd needed a family. Eleven tries to keep that in mind when she meets her.
She'd needed a family, too. Just like Eleven.
She doesn't expect the red hair, or the freckles. She doesn't expect her to look like she could be Max's sister. Not like Max, not exactly. But like her the way that Nancy looks like Mike.
And just like Max, it's hard not to feel jealous when she sees her. This girl she doesn't know has crept into the hole of El's absence, and it stings to see her. No matter how much she knows the words Hopper has said, it stings, and she frowns at the girl when they're finally face to face.
"...Hi," she says.

"I like... hanging out," she says, though the term seems unfamiliar in her mouth. "With my friends," she clarifies, in case that isn't clear. "I like the mall." She pauses, then smiles shyly. "And ice cream. What do you like?"

A thought occurs to her then, brow raising a bit. "Have you ever been to the beach?" Knowing what she knows about both Hawkins and Eleven, she doubts it. That's definitely something they're going to have to change.

It only takes a moment to search for 'boardwalk,' an assortment of images coming up. Holding her phone out for Eleven to see, she says, "It's really nice, especially when the weather is warm. There's food, and games, and little shops."

"Can I go?" she asks, though she probably should be asking Hopper that question, not Beverly.

"And definitely," she adds, nodding. "We can both go. It's a lot of fun, I think you'll like it."
