Description

Hailey Cooper

Image

.:Gender
Female

.:Age:
17

.:Relationship title
The Teacher and Student

Image

.:Appearance
Standing at around 5'6, Hailey is often thought of as average in every way. She's not scary skinny, though she certainly isn't an average weight; just thin enough for people to look at her arms closely and think that maybe something is wrong. As a result, her "dress-code" is long sleeves and lose pants. Her hair is bleach blond as a result of a bottle and her teeth are white and straight. As a result of too much sun, her arms are dotted with freckles. And as a result of not enough nutrition, she is awfully pale and the tips of her fingers tend to turn blue in the cold. Hailey's face is round and her eyes are brown. Her facial features are small and doll-like.

.:Personality:
Hailey appears extremely confident, and as some may say, a bit overconfident. She'll talk to almost anyone and is usually known to be one of the nicest girls around. It's not that she compliments people a lot, or treats everyone as if they are important. She simply treats them as if they like her, even if they don't. This is partially due to the fact that she doesn't want to accept that some people may not like her, and if she discovers that someone is not a fan of her personality, she will happily change that aspect of herself around them. In this way, she is a chameleon. In fact, she doesn't even know who she is anymore. Is she quiet or loud, nice or mean, caring or indifferent? It really depends on who she's talking to. Most people think that she is friends with everyone, even though she actually has hardly any friends. One of the only attributes that is constant about Hailey is her crippling self-hatred. In her eyes, everyone is better then she is. She is simply an ugly, stupid girl who no one really likes, they simply like the front that she puts on. Yes, if you compliment her, she will respond with a smile and a thanks, but she will really be thinking that you are a liar and that you just wanted to point out that you feel the opposite. Hailey simply cares about everyone else more than herself. If someone appears upset, she will be the first one to try and make them feel better (but only if they are known to be nice people and accept help). But over the years... her self hatred has gotten the best of her. And now, when she is alone, she will often start crying her eyes out for no apparent reason at all.

.:Favourite subject:
Art; she hates all of her other classes. School in general proves how stupid she really is.

.:History:
Hailey was born to a family that never really appreciated her talents. From the time she was very young, she showed a lot of talent in art classes. Yet, she was taught to focus on other subjects. In her parent's eyes, math and science are the only subjects anyone would really be talented at. The other classes should be passed with A's, but math and science should be passed with even better grades then A's. She should be perfect in them. And anything less than perfection was rewarded with strong slaps to the hand and/or face. Not really abuse... that was what Hailey grew up thinking. She deserved what she got. Besides... it was an open hand. As she got older, her mother became next to obsessed with how her daughter looked. A healthy weight wasn't good enough. She had to be thin. Anything more was greeted with the same punishment as bad grades. But Hailey was a hungry kid. She just couldn't bring herself to diet with her mother. She got hungry if she did. And the 12 year old girl hated being hungry. So her mom taught her some lessons in beauty. She did things that most mothers would find appalling to even consider. After a while, Hailey just told herself that her mom want really hers. Neither of her parents where. She became detached from reality, and began to think of herself as a vessel. Her body wasn't hers, it was her parents, to do what they wished to. And her personality was clay that she could shape to make others happy. By the time she entered her second year of high school, her doctors were saying that she had an eating disorder; bulimia nervosa. Of course the two did nothing about it. Denial was their equivalent of treatment. Besides... Hailey was still kind of fat in their eyes. Now a senior, Hailey considers herself a nobody and lives her life as she has since she was a fifteen year old.

So begins...

"Oh." Marie's face lit up into another happy smile. So she had taken the compliment in... At least she wasn't denying the comment at all. Of course, there was no doubt in her mind that Hailey was denying the fact she looked prettier without it, and she probably had less confidence without it on. However, all that Marie took in was that she accepted the compliment, meaning she would've thought about it. "Sorry, that is what people tend to say. I just thought... Nevermind." she smiled at Hailey and then sat further back on the table. "Are you not all that used to talking to teachers?" she asked with a grin. It became apparent to her that she was alien to talking to teachers in a friend-like way. Of course, Marie knew she had pushed it one step further when she taught, but it was only to help the kids. Hell, in reality, Marie had barely any confidence at all.

It was one of the reasons she acted kind and casual around her students; so they wouldn't end up the way she is. Trapped in a relationship that won't work, but she just couldn't break out of. Although the thoughts were always dawning on her, she still managed to keep on smiling and keep on being friendly, purely because she couldn't act mopey and depressed around kids like Hailey, who had problems of her own and needed to keep themselves happy and confident with themselves. For as pretty and nice as Marie was, she still had no confidence in herself and her life...

"I guess you could say that," Hailey said, the barest hint of a smile coming to her lips. She didn't expect Marie to understand exactly how she felt about this. She didn't expect anyone to understand that her makeup was a part of her in a way. It gave her the strength to seem confident when she really just wanted to drop her act and have a mental breakdown. Being fake may be a bad thing, but when someone was a weak as she was, it was necessary. It seemed that Marie was a believer in being yourself and doing what made you happy. But if you hated yourself, then didn't those two things coincide horribly? "I'm really just not used to talking to authority figures like... this." Hailey uncrossed her legs, swinging them back and forth. "I mean usually, people like you... and by that I mean teachers, just seem better suited for a certain time of the day. It actually isn't all that fair."

Oddly enough, at that sentence, Hailey actually compared teachers to eggs in her mind. They were meant for one part of a day, and to think of them during an unfamiliar time was... weird. Eggs seemed to be trapped in the breakfast mode (even if food was just food) and teachers were trapped in school mode. Even if you did have eggs for dinner, it was considered 'breakfast for dinner.' Yes, it was a ridiculous comparison but it made way too much sense to Hailey, even if she had learned it from a book that had nothing to do with her situation

"Isn't fair huh?" Marie caught herself laughing a little, smiling at Hailey and shaking her head. "Well, sorry you feel that way." Marie wasn't sure whether she had misinterpreted it or what, but it sounded like Hailey thought it wasn't fair that she was talking to her the way she was. It sounded like she didn't like Marie's friendly manner in all honesty. But hey, it wasn't that different really, was it? It would be weird if a teacher and a student would become friends. Close friends anyway. Most friendships between students and teachers lasted the year where the teacher taught them, and then they would just stop talking to each other. It was common, and Marie didn't expect anything else. However, in Marie's case, the friends she made whilst teaching were the only friends she got. Which made the end of the school year that much harder.

Marie tilted her head at Hailey. "You know, if I'm making you awkward, then I'll just write that note for you and let you get to gym." Marie said with a polite smile, tilting her head at Hailey. Hailey certainly did interest Marie however. Something seemed different about this girl, as if something was making her less of herself. And it wasn't just because Marie was acting friendly towards her. Something perhaps that Marie needed to help out with... However, she wouldn't ask yet. Maybe wait until Hailey was more comfortable around her. Wait until Hailey didn't mind the way Marie acted towards her.

Jessie


"-you have such a cute face. Don't be hiding it all behind your hair." At those words, Jessie looked down at the floor, almost as if she was studying the black and grey tile that covered it. In reality, she was simply trying to hide the fact that her face was beet red. She wasn't quite used to being complimented, not by people who weren't teachers, so she was just embarrassed. At least... that's what she told herself. As Sonny left, Jessie said goodbye back and looked up from the floor, only to see the other girl walking away.

Hopefully, they would see each other again second period. As German started and the silly introductions were carried out, Jessie thought about just that. She had finally made a friend (hopefully). After two years in high school, someone wasn't making fun of her. Of course, when sonny found out about Jessie's religion and her strict rules, she would probably be a bit wary, and she would probably stop talking to Jessie, but that was a chance she would have to take.

By the end of German, she was actually pretty awake. Despite her reading, she had been able to pay attention in class very well and now had notes on both this year's lesson plans and a drawing of something that appeared to be a hybrid between a cat and some type of canine. As Jessie left the classroom, she couldn't help but look around for Sonny. It was like in elementary school; friends were made fast and clung onto for dear life. However, due to the fact that her German classroom was literally right next to the science room, she didn't see the point in looking around for long. Instead Jessie opted to just go into science and hope that Sonny hadn't met anyone in Spanish that would change her mind about Jessie.

Hailey


"That-" Hailey paused and bit her lower lip. She actually had to fight the urge to face-palm at her lack of eloquence when it came to talking to people."...That's not really what I meant." She looked up at Marie. "I actually meant that it isn't fair to teacher's that students think of them as 'just teachers.' I mean, you're people too... right?" Hailey smiled, more to herself then to Marie, and jumped off the desk, intentionally exaggerating the motion. She really id like Ms. Jones and was not going to mess up a potential acquaintance with someone this cool. No,. they wouldn't be friends as far as Hailey was concerned. That would be a bit weird. But they could get along well, and maybe be the closest thing to friends that the senior had the fortune of experiencing. The rest of her friendships were so superficial and based off of mere principal that Hailey couldn't even tell the difference between friends and acquaintances anymore.

"Anyway, I do think I should probably get to gym," Hailey said, crossing her arms as if she were cold. "Even if we do just have to sign a contract, it could be a few points. Pretty dumb if you ask me, but..." Her sentence trailed off and she looked expectantly towards the desk. She really did hope that Marie didn't have the wrong idea about her feelings towards the older lady. Hailey really had no problem with her, she just didn't really feel all that comfortable talking comfortably with a teacher; or any adult for that matter.

Dorian Hillbrooks


Dorian just seemed to ignore Vasiliy's last response and walked on down the hallway, thinking over what had just been discussed... Had he, Dorian Hillbrooks, seriously just agreed to go to the movies with him, Vasiliy Kozlov -popular boy around school? It seemed unreal. Completely and utterly unreal... He was dreading it in reality. However, this was precisely the reason why he was going to the music room. In truth, he didn't actually have to come into school so early today. He started with a free period, and that meant he was simply going to the music room to fill the boredom. However, this could possibly distract him in this... dilemma with Vasiliy. He had made it to the room quite quickly, being in a rush to just get out of plain sight.

He slowly creaked the door open, noticing it was empty and managing to have the slightest of smiles to himself. He went in, leaving the door open a little and then looking around the room. They've redecorated... he sighed gently, though it was kinda hard to miss the piano in the room. It was rather large, and certainly not something that could be veiled in a music room. The nerd slid his fingers across the keys of the piano, not yet making a sound, but planning on doing so. As long as the room stayed empty, he'd be okay... He sat down on the red-cushioned music stool and then let out a gentle sigh, slipping off his grey sweater and then relaxing. He slowly closed his eyes and then pressed down, a chord ringing in his ears and causing him to smile even more. Dorian pressed again, and then again, until he started making his fingers dance around the piano. He started to play a song called 'Nuvole Bianche', one he had learnt long ago and never stopped thinking about. He relaxed, thinking about the piano and nothing else. His mind cleared of the mess that had happened this morning and he just fell into thinking only about the music he played...

Marie-Ann Jones


"Gym is just dumb in general." Marie responded with a grin as she walked towards her desk and got out a notepad and slid the pencil out from behind her ear. "I can choose how fit I want to be in my spare time. I don't need some loud-mouth to yell in my face about it, thank you very much." She smiled and laughed a little before scribbling down the excuse on the paper and then signing it. She ripped it off and then looked at it for a moment. Hailey really was a nice kid... she just hoped she could see more of the student. It felt like, to her, that it may be possible that Hailey would just presume that Marie was just being a weird teacher, trying to act like a youngster. But it really wasn't that at all. She just saw teaching as an opportunity to share her experience and then manage to get to know them in the progress. It didn't feel all that professional with her, but that was just the way she liked it. Laid back and friendly.

She held the paper out to Hailey. "Well, I'm glad you know I'm actually a person too..." She said with a grin. "But, I'll just let you know, if you want to come up here to do any art stuff, anything at all, then I'm here most of the time, and I'd be happy to see someone in my breaks." She smiled and then let out a gentle sigh. Don't get it at home, just hope I will here... she looked towards the clock to check on the time.

Hailey


"You know.. I think I might" Hailey said with a hesitant smile, taking the slip out of Marie's hand. As she did so, her hand brushed against the teacher's. It was really just slight contact, but for some reason, it made Hailey's face color just a bit more than usual. "And I'm really looking forward to Friday. I know that it didn't seem like it before, but I think it sounds a bit funner now." Now that she had talked to Marie (enough to know that she was very likable), this class wasn't looking as bleak anymore. She could actually focus on her art; show off a bit, maybe even join in on one of those art shows that she had mocked (not because they were really stupid, but because she had always been jealous of those students). Maybe she could even convince her mom to let her stay instead of joining a class that would look good on a transcript. Maybe she could convince her mother that art was... a good character builder.

As she turned to walk out towards the gym, Hailey turned back, as if she had forgotten something. "By the way," she began, a smile spreading across her face, "I agree, gym is completely useless and really stupid." So much for being hard to win over; Hailey was incredibly easy. At that, she walked out the door and made her way to the gym. It was dumb, but at least it helped her burn off some calories... even if she simply made a game out of avoiding playing with the rest of the class.

Jessie


As Sonny ran over towards Jessie, the brunette couldn't help the ridiculous smile that spread across her face. No one had ever seemed so incredibly happy to see her. The best reaction she's ever gotten was a smile and a quick wave. And the smile hadn't even been genuine. It had been silly and perfunctory. The word silly was being nice. It was really great to have someone want to be her friend, though she couldn't help but wonder if it were in her mind. Maybe this was the way everyone acted when they didn't mind someone. Maybe she was being vain by thinking that Sonny liked her. At that thought, Jessie looked down at the floor, her smile gone as soon as it had come.

"I um, sure I'll wake you up," She said with a hesitant smile in Sonny's direction. Her mind was filled with other things to say; witty remarks, positive comments, even an answer on how excited she was for science, but nothing would come out of her mouth. Everything sounded incredibly dumb in her mind, as if she would say something and it would make Sonny not like her anymore. After one comment, everything that she had dreamed of last period would be smashed right in front of her eyes. Jessie opened the science room door and held it open for Sonny, and the really pretty blonde girl who went into science after Sonny. She bit her lower lip, remembering what her mom had said about looking at people like she found herself staring at the people who she generally held doors open for. Not only was it wrong, but it was silly to think that they would thank her, or even take notice of her. And trying to get that attention was vain. Not to mention in vain.

Marie-Ann Jones


Marie smiled softly at the door that Hailey had just walked out of, blinking a couple of times and sighing gently. Her eyes slowly drifted around the empty room, breathing gently as she pulled back slightly and sat on a stool. It was so quiet... and still...and... lonely... Marie's face dropped little by little as she looked around, and every little bit of it reminded her of home. Marie sighed gently, tightening her bow and brushing down her dress. Here these kids were, complaining that they had hardly any friends... And Marie had none. Well, unless she were to count her cheating boyfriend, then that would be one friend. One friend who was supposedly dating her...

Marie rubbed at her eyes and tried to think positively. Pull yourself together Marie, She thought to herself, going into the backroom to make some coffee. "That should lighten things up. Coffee makes a good distraction." She told herself, turning on a kettle and then glancing out of the backroom to the classroom. She blinked a couple of times before sighing and closing her eyes, a small tear escaping. She wiped at it a little and then leant against the wall of the backroom, holding her face in her hands. "Balls..." She murmured, wiping at her eyes and trying to stop crying.

((We can timeskip these two to the point where Hailey comes back, can't we?))
