Chereads / The Dream of Her Voice / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Chelsie

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Chelsie

This morning, it was dark and cold, which is pretty unusual but, it did give me a good reason to wear my new boots! I used to have a pair of cute pink boots with fur balls on the stitched in laces. I of course, had to ask my dad for a new pair because some people at this school are very stupid and clumsy! But no one will ever be as stupid...or as clumsy as Baizelle! That girl only pretended to be nice to everyone and really, she was the dumbest person to talk to! Sometimes I'd ask her for test answers but instead, she'd swap papers with me, do the test I'm supposed to have and write down all of the answers. I just needed maybe...a few answers but no! She erased half of my test just to fill it in again, ugh!

My dad isn't the brightest himself but at least he's functional. I remember when I was little, my parents would take me to the shopping center every weekend. It wasn't the best but it always had cute clothing. As I got older, people in the center would always try to sell me jewelry, food, clothes, and more but I neve understood why. My dad is the boss of the country's biggest companies known to man. He is the proud owner of Simply, the best phone company ever! He always gives me the newest version of the infamous Pearl ZX model before it ships out to the public. It's understandable why people love me at school. My main friend group is just me. I rather not have friends because later on in life, I'm going to be focused on making money so it'll be better if everyone stayed out of my way.

There used to be this weird woman who used to be my dad's assistant. She had short velvet hair and blue eyes. It never went well with her skin tone but my dad liked her. Dad would tell me everything about her since she quit her job before I was born. They used to hangout all of the time and apparently she had feelings for him even though my dad was dating my mother at the time. Anyway, that woman attempted to steal my dad's money before quitting. Next thing you know, I was born and my mother got hit by a car on her way to work. Ever since then, dad never married another woman and pretty much takes care of me whenever he can.

Once I started school, everything was perfect! But Baizelle came into the picture, just to ruin everything. We met in 1st grade and she never talked. I told my dad about it and eventually, no one heard her say a word until 3rd grade when we had to read out to the class. She'd constantly get in trouble for writing in her journal in middle school too. I bet she was writing about how much she liked that kid from Chicago. He was kind of cute but extremely weird. He would dip his fries in mustard...who does that?! Anyway, that's all she ever did aside from hiding in the alley way between the school building and courtyard during lunch. Sometimes I'd talk to her, put some make up on her and force her to walk around with it on all day. She needed to learn how to be confident, plus I've never had a sister so...why not make friends with her. I wasn't good at doing her make up though so everyone just laughed at her. Eventually, I just did it to take pictures of us together and people liked it online, even though she always ran away before I could show her how amazing the pictures were. I only hate her because she became cruel. One day after finals, I told her that she was my best friend and a few hours later, I looked around the school halls which had pictures of me with hateful words on them. Ever since then, I've hated her with a burning passion.
