Buck up, chuck!

Chelsea is a workaholic. A kind-natured one at that. She never says no when her boss needs her to cover for someone else and she’s usually willing to stay a little late if there’s a problem. She likes to say that she just wants something to focus on, but she also wants the company of others. It gets lonely in her house, all alone. (She should have never accepted her dad’s offer. She should get roommates or something.)

Chelsea is a very hardy girl. She never gets sick and nothing can faze her, so she says. She’s definitely strong and healthy, and she’s more than willing to show off her arms (though she looks more cute than anything with her combined height and demeanor). But, Chelsea will admit to being human. A clumsy little ditzy human.

And, naturally, Chelsea has overworked herself. It wouldn’t be the first time. To stay at home with her whole day ahead of her would usually have been torture, but today Chelsea finds her outlet in a video game: Dark Souls.

Chelsea liked to go to the gym pretty regularly, her reason being that it was a good outlet for stress and other energy. It was a good thing to do while listening to whatever on her phone. She usually did pretty typical stuff on the machines, but recently her gym had installed a rock wall, and Chelsea was excited to try it out. It looked so much more engaging and fun than most other things. She was sure she’d be a natural.

Chelsea’s not really a coffee person. She didn’t drink any growing up and when she started living on her own, well.. Well, Chelsea can’t do anything in the kitchen if it involves heat. She’s tried coffee a few times. She wants to like it. But it really seems like one of those “aquired tastes.”

The smell of a coffee shop is pretty nice though. It’s got such a relaxing and rustic scent, she thinks, as she walks into The Roost and orders a strawberry- lemon tea. The woman who takes her order has wild blonde hair and a sharp, attractive face. And about a head taller than Chelsea. She can’t really tell. But when the barista asks for her name, Chelsea realizes she had been staring, totally awe-struck and maybe a little slack-jawed.

All kinds of stuff played on AMR 92.5, from wacky little segments, contests, weather, music, Dear Abby’s, you name it, but this was the first time Chelsea had seen a celebrity -- like a real celebrity -- in the flesh, here for an interview. Well... She wasn’t actually sure how big of a celebrity he was, but he was an actor, and he lived in Harbour Pointe.

She was more surprised than starstruck.

Usually, the only people who go to the school pool are on the swim team, but on warmer days, more people show up to play in the pool. Chelsea liked to go in and relax and maybe pretend she had sea legs. She’d had a busy exam week, and with the sun beating down outside, she wanted to cool off. Indoors.

It was nice to be there when it was less busy than it was weeks ago for the pool party. She didn’t even want to think about school, for once, just for a little while. She made her way to the poolside, already in her swimsuit and a light cover-up. Chelsea felt great in it, confident even. But caught in her thoughts, she was suddenly knocked into the pool by someone who hadn’t been looking.

“Uwoah!”
