Life goes downhill as Cheska reached the age of 13 years old.
Cheska has transferred to Wilston International School in Cassiopeia, it has been a difficult adjustment, but her life would be better there.
The front door swings open, and Cheska, bursts into the room, her facewith excitement.
Cheska, carries a trophy in her hands, proudly displaying the emblem of first place in a hip hop dance competition.
"Cheska! Oh, my dear, you're home! What's all this excitement about?" Gertrude, in her 80s, was shocked.
Cheska rushes over to Gertrude, her eyes shining with joy. She places the trophy on the coffee table and sits down next to her grandmother.
Cheska grins, "Grandma, guess what? I won first place in the dance competition! Can you believe it?"
"First place? Oh, my darling, that's magnificent! I knew you had it in you. Tell me everything!"
Cheska's excitement is contagious, and she eagerly starts recounting the details of her achievement.
She gestures animatedly, describing her project, the experiments she conducted, and the long hours spent in the lab.
"...and then, when they announced my name, I couldn't believe it! The judge said my performance was innovative and well-executed. I'm so proud of myself, Grandma!"
Gertrude listens attentively, her eyes fixed on Cheska's face. She sees the fire in her granddaughter's eyes, the passion that ignites her soul.
"My dear Cheska, you have no idea how proud I am of you. Your dedication and hard work have paid off. You've always had a curious mind, and now the world is recognizing your brilliance."
Cheska's cheeks flush with pride, and she reaches out to hold Gertrude's hand.
"I couldn't have done it without your love and support, Grandma. You've always encouraged me to follow my dreams and never settle for anything less than my best."
Gertrude squeezes Cheska's hand, her heart filled with love and adoration.
Cheska sighs as she looks at her trophy, "It's been a year since mom has flew to LA and dad is always working"
The delivery man started calling Gertrude, Gertrude excused herself and went outside.
As Cheska turns around, she received a huge slap from Alicia, Martha's sister.
"WHAT?!" Cheska yelled at her own aunt, making Alicia feel more disrespected.
"How dare you get that tone on me! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE STACY WITH PEANUTS! THAT'S A CHOKING HAZARD!"
Cheska laughed maniacally, "Oh that's not my problem! You're the mother, that's little kid is not my responsibility-"
And Alicia started pulling Cheska's hair, but Cheska does not take any disrespect from anyone so she slapped her own aunt back and pulled her hair.
Afraid that Gertrude will find them, Cheska pushed Alicia away and went upstairs angrily.
Cheska finds Ava playing a game on her phone and spoke, "Ava, go wash the dishes"
Ava groans, "I'll do it later"
Cheska grabbed the pillow and threw it at her, "Go wash the dishes!"
Cheska cautiously enters the room. She walks towards her grandpa Rodolfo's bed with a mix of curiosity and concern on her face.
"Grandpa, there is the delivery for you..."
