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.

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.
