He sounds awesome and he fits as friends with the kind of person I'm looking to write. Here's what I see: She'll be a sophomore, too. She will be mid rung on the social ladder, not caring if she ever gets to the top. She'll have a good academic head on her shoulders, having parents who stress good grades and the future of a big ten college. Her family will be from the mid-west, father some sort of a big business owner. Her relationship with them isn't bad, but it isn't good either. The only child, she seems to be a disappointment to them, despite her best efforts. She can be somewhat naive when it comes to guys. Because she isn't a huge flirt, she is usually overlooked by the boys in that capacity. She enjoys being a sixteen year old and is in no hurry to grow up. She still likes to stay up late with friends and watch movies, eat junk food and have giggle fits. Most would describe her as a likeable nerd. She has a pessimistic streak that comes out every once in a while. She's got a lot of school spirit and will probably be in a sport and attend sporting events on a regular basis. She's a fairly steadfast person and has no problem standing up for herself, however I'm sure there are a few people at school that she isn't likely to open her mouth around. She's a fun person to be around and loyal to those she cares about. Sound like a good friend for him?
I think she'll admire his disposition and will be somewhat amazed that he is such a gentleman, since so many his age aren't. Yes, late nights with movies and a plethora of inside jokes will amuse them to no end. Him being there to cheer her up in those moments when she finds herself in a pit of despair, will mean a lot to her. She'll be there for him, likewise. His lack of skills with girls will humor her and she'll likely try to encourage him along, even though she's basically in the same boat with guys. Being that she's the only child, she'll adore the fact that he'd step up for her if ever she needed it. I'm thinking her slightly opinionated mouth may get her in a pickle every once in a while and she's maybe stepped behind him once or twice. Should we say they met in their freshman year and pretty much just clicked right off? I don't know what the classes are yet, but I would guess they have a couple togther.
She'll stand back and watch him, shaking her head while he does what he does when the girl is around. Then after she playfully punches his arm and tells him what he should have done. Which probably wouldn't work because what she thinks is cool isn't always such. She'll send him goofy texts all the time. Maybe they have some weird word game they started playing last year and it stuck. Just goes on forever and makes no sense to anyone but them. For his last birthday, she had a gift wrapped pizza delivered to him.

I read your blurb for her and I think it would be fun to have them friends. However, since they are very different, maybe at times they are at odds and my girl doesn't really know how far she can trust Chelsea? She'll be a little unschooled in social drama. This way they could have good and bad moments, depending on the situation. So maybe Chelsea has pulled her into the outer circle of her friend pool and my girl is a little leery of diving in? I enjoy adding less cut and dried relationships to the mix.
I like this. It will be interesting to see how they develop. Maybe when Chelsea first met her she was a little mean to her, something they've since overcome? I see Chelsea came to the school in order to work on relations with her half sister. Has she been at Blair since her freshman year? At some point maybe Chelsea tries to nudge my girl along socially, even though she may balk?
