This first chapter was, saddening, I heard of of child abuse but never read anything that sad at the start of the chapter. That was a lot of charactization right there, and Brecka is hopefullly able to cope with it. And it is pretty neat that you are able to incoperate the real world into a trainer fic, with peer pressure to smoke, although you may say that statemetn wasn't to ask if she wanted to smole, I think it could just be a bit of for shadowing, keep up the good work.
