Episode 2

Chelsea thought that she is the friendliest and kindest person on earth, her teachers dotted on her and yes even Mr. Barnby. She probably has this thought that she has this female lead hollow that some fantasy novels described. What the heck? but come to think of it she probably is, even the author's life can be a script from a novel too, no one knows.

Anyways before it get's too creepy let's continue with Chelsea, she talks sweetly and is nice to everyone even the school's maintenance staff including the school guards, they knew her as that charming, demure, sweet and approachable refined lady. She greets everyone she meets along the way and chatted sincerely.

She would stay away from the people that has a strong personality because it drains her energy and if she can't she would try to at least blend in to avoid giving them a chance to bully her so she would pretend to be like them. She will spend some time binding with her friends which actually divided into several groups. She has friends that belongs to ordinary family which she thought where she truly belongs, she can be herself and they can eat all street food from high end to the least sanitary and go to the school clinic altogether if something happened. She also has friends with the school nerds, her grades were really not that considered nerdy but they like her nevertheless so she joins their fun too which she likes very much because they can patiently explain that complicated game they created themselves and would never get angry if she screwed it up. She also has friends that were considered a push over and losers which were always the underdog, she will never consider herself one of them but got closer to them because of sympathy, she has develop this advocacy to teach them how to fight back.

She was also a class president and even one of the governors of the school's student council. Her school life is well rounded and pretty much balanced. In one short description she is popular. Her school life extra curricular life is too busy while her academic life is empty, in fact she is a mediocre student. She's this kind of person that hates to study, she is in a worst state that flipping the first page of history textbook made her sleepy, even in her adult life she uses textbooks as alternative to sleeping pills and never ever disappoints her. But that was Chelsea on the spotlight.

Her mother would scrutinize and hit her if her parents had a fight. Sometimes his father too would put the blame on her. The family preferred boys than girls so her brother was often spared from hitting and she will take it all. But her brother's condition is not far from her either they abused through and through. When they were younger they often got hungry because his father didn't go to work and can often times found in the gambling house. Their mother which has graduated from college should have a nice career and good salary, but she didn't she wanted to focus on changing her father into a sensible man getting a good job so that she'll be a real housewife that's possibly her lifelong ambition. But she didn't think it will happen in the near future. That's why at the age of twelve she started to do chores from that old lady on the outskirts of town to earn a little money to buy food for her then eight years old brother. On weekend she would assist that fat big brother to sell fish so he would give her her weeks allowance and cook fish broth with vegetables to nourish hers and her brother's tattered bodies.
