OK - a LOT of people seem confused by Eliot if they don't read the materials provided. Eliot was Chloe's boy-toy that she talked to Max about in the original game. Chloe's rebellion from being the good student/daughter/citizen included drinking, drugs and casual sex... and Eliot was the guy she used... and for her, it was about rebellion, but for Eliot, it was "real". She still has the tickets from their two-month anniversary and in the conversation with Rachel, she admitted her "v-card" had already been punched.
a lot of people don;t take the time to know this...but Chloe and Eliot have known each other since kindergarten, so a hug is not that odd...i mean yeah it's clear he likes her. and a lot of LIS fans don;t like Eliot...but just cause you don;t like a character doesn't mean you shouldn't take the time to know who they are and how they relate to everything. being a villain doesn't get you anywhere in LIS you have to use your head and make the other person look like the bad guy, if David is asking you to empty your pockets then you can twist that round on him...unless of course you have anything incriminating in your pockets
Eliot is also the "boy-toy phase" she told Max about. They were in a relationship after Chloe's father died and when Chloe tells Rachel her "v-Card had been punched" it was with Eliot. This, of course, was all about rebellion for Chloe... drugs, alcohol and casual sex.... but for Eliot, it actually meant something it was not.
rachel is using Chloe as manipulation, yes she likes Chloe but Before the Storm is all about unhealthy friendships. two people can still be friends and yet not be good for each other. Max and Chloe have what is called co-dependent relationship, they lean on each other, support each other...they are hardly effected or bothered by what each other say...heck even when Max left Chloe tried to act like she was hurt but deep down she just wanted Max to come back. Chloe and Rachel though...there is no balance...there is no mutual support. Rachel tells Chloe what she wants to hear and Chloe laps it up like a cat with milk. in return Chloe pretty much throws herself on the sword for Rachel...so it's messing up things in her life...like her scholarship. true Chloe may not think it's overly important...but was it important to skip school either?
your conversation with Ray Wells would have gone way better if you had talked to more people in front of the school...found a way to make him look bad. the victoria thing is completley avoidable, that's your fault for being "the villain". you always get blamed for bullying Nathan, you can't avoid that the key to success in that meeting is to have dirt on principal wells and how he does things...due to your lack of exploration you didn;t have it.
