Your First Days
Cat's wayyyyyyy out of the bag now but here's some info on our girlypop Chantel Smith! Name: Chantel Smith Pronouns: She/her Occupation: Student. Chantel did intern at the Hilsend Valley Hospital's Pediatric Ward before the summer. Major: Nursing, she wanted to be a pediatric nurse. Age: 21 On the surface, Chantel Smith was shallow. And the assumption wasn't entirely wrong. She had the typical bottle blonde hair, pink outfits, and the kind of money that meant her summers were spent on a yacht or at a country club. She was practically flawless. Well, she would have been had it not been for her learning disabilities and her stutter. Her family tended to pick up and move on a whim, which meant Chantel could never assimilate into any schools. And because of the consistent moving, she never had the chance to get assimilated. Her parents would toss money at private schools to accept her despite her low entrance scores. And rather than assist or acknowledge that their daughter couldn't keep up with her classes, they left to fend for herself academically and socially. She was awkward and shy because she never stayed around long enough to make friends. It wasn't until her family settled in Washington that Chantel began attending public school, specifically Hilsend High. Hilsend High was perfect! It was small enough that everyone knew each other, so it was easy for her to get to know everyone. The IEP program was fantastic, and her stutter was gone by her senior year (it was the only thing her parents did acknowledge as it was unavoidable). And where she lacked academics, she made up for extracurriculars: student council, cheerleading, track, and step team. With her clean record and extracurriculars, she was accepted into Hilsend A&W where, when it mattered, Chantel Smith was the most popular girl on Hilsend A&M University's campus and a star cheerleader, but don't get it twisted: she was not a mean girl. Chantel also had a younger sibling named Mars that she left behind when she went to college. Maybe one day she'll work up the courage to see him again.
