History[]
13 year old troubled teen, Chris told his mother that he needed some new socks before she told Julius to give him a pair. Upon observing the socks, Chris asked his father if they were the only ones he had. Julius told him that they were before telling him that the socks were worn by him when he met his mother. Chris meet up with Jerome, whom told him that he had hit the lottery and offered some cash, which Chris gladly accepted. Chris made his way to the bus he usually used to travel to school and home, being allowed on after the man recognized him. After meeting Darlene, Chris learned that his name was among her favorites and expressed enjoyment in the fact. In front of Corleone Junior High School, Joey Caruso asked Chris if he would like to join him and others in beating up a boy. Chris denied the invitation and made his way inside. When entering his class, Ms. Morello gave him a copy of Roots 4: Kunta's Revenge.
Upon returning home, Chris's mom Rochelle asked him how his day was. Chris told her that it was strange and the best day of his life. Chris slept with the socks on that night and soon had a dream where a masked man came into his room. Screaming at first, he told the individual that it was Thursday the 12th after being asked what the date was. After waking up, Chris hit his foot against a stand and soon discovered that his socks were not on his feet anymore, asking Drew where they were and discovering that Rochelle had taken them off of him due to their smell. Chris soon tried to get a replacement for his socks, going to get a rabbit's foot, a leprechaun and a horse shoe from a deceased horse.
Chris soon told his father that he had lost his socks, causing his father to talk to him and tell him that he needed to create his own luck. Chris started to believe in his father's words before having the complete opposite of what had occurred before happen to him. Instead of being allowed on the bus without his pass like he was the last time he tried to ride, the bus driver ordered him off the bus. His luck would continue to spiral downward as he tried to talk again to Darlene, whom did not recall ever meeting him and told him off for even trying to talk to her. He even faced rejection at school, as he was beaten up by Joey Caruso and some other bullies at the middle school.[1]
Appearances[]

Personality[]
Chris is the troubled, ambitious, normal, responsible, kind-hearted, but unlucky, unpopular, hapless, awkward, vulnerable eldest child and the main protagonist of the series. He had anxiety/the anxiety disorder. He wishes he was more like his younger brother, Drew: cool, handsome, attractive, talented, popular, or anything positive. Regardless of whether Chris possesses any of these traits, he's certainly never treated as if he does. He tries hard to be well liked by his peers. However, in addition to him being black in a school filled with white people, and being the eldest sibling, he often finds himself a victim of circumstance - preventing him to achieve the liking he so desires. Because of this, Chris doesn't like to draw attention to himself. But, being the only black kid in his school makes it more difficult. To make matters worse, Chris tends to be the butt of the last jokes on each show. He also gets blamed for things he didn't do and can make mistakes like accidentally making the clothes smaller along with Tanya.
