I was a rebellious teenager with striking hair, didn't get along with my parents, grew up just next to Nowhere and felt like nothing was ever there for me...
As a teenager I was pretty cynical and never really found anything so important that was worth getting expelled for or even crying over, though playing BtS last week it felt pretty liberating when Chloe started destroying stuff at the junkyard and then broke down screaming.
I guess a lot of people feel this way to an extent, though the main thing for me is how Chloe is such a troublemaker and she has no qualms about telling anyone to fuck off if she thinks they should fuck off, and so she's a bit of a reject, has next to no friends... but behind that she's a good person who really wants someone to understand her and be there for her.
In a sense I also identify with Rachel, because in my last years of high school I was very popular even with people who didn't know me at all and I had this unrealistic reputation, but I was never as used to it as Rachel was, so while I might have taken advantage of it at times, and there likely is at least one person who sees me as "the popular one who got into my life by accident and brought me out of my shell", I was never as irresponsible as her about it.
All that caused even more of a misalignment between how people saw me and how I really was, or at least how I felt like I was.
Like that improvised line in The Tempest that goes "I prefer to know thou still cared for my plainest self".
Let's say Chloe's three quarters literally me and one quarter power fantasy.

You're pathetic.
