The dread specifically subsided since it was truly done with tormenting her right now. She gave out a sigh of relief alike she was getting back to how she acts normally. However, what gave her the biggest shock is what Henry specifically asked her. She was flabbergasted it was the biggest kindest thing anyone ever done for her. [color=B7A74A]”I-I’m grateful for your help… I-I… would… l-like to b-be your friend… H-Henry.”[/color] Hailey said, with happy tears going down her face. She hugged Henry tighter and had that cute little smile return to her. It’s the one thing that she always seemed to be doing, smile in the face of adversity and strife she’s been through. However, this smile was sincere for the first time in a long time. Hailey had a really tough time getting used to this school since she didn’t really have any friends until now that is. In a sense, she sees everyone as her friends but this is the actually first time someone confirmed those feelings. Basically how she felt with her family, they protected her through thick and thin and now these students at this school will do the same. [color=B7A74A]”I… should probably get back to… my laps… since I have 4 more to go.”[/color] Hailey said to Henry with a slight nervousness in her voice. She does enjoy PE but she wouldn’t want to get the coach mad, since its a rule to do the laps she has to do. Its pretty obviously were the nervousness comes from the rule’s in this class requires to be done. She was teary eyed but much better than she has felt in along time. Always like she didn’t really fit in this school, mostly because of her Noble Arm. However, she found someone that’s willingly to be her friend, which she is grateful for. It was like she couldn’t really open up too many people because of the fact she was afraid. [color=B7A74A]”I-I truly appreciate everything, you’ve done Henry… You made me feel welcomed at this school. I-I didn’t feel like I belonged here. But I suppose I was wrong, Guess most of the people in my class are friendly like Oscar...”[/color] Hailey said, giving a compliment loud enough to Oscar in German at least. She felt better like she could talk about more things, her feelings and what not. It’s still going to take a very long time before she feels truly good about everything, but this is one step in that very long road ahead of herself. In the back of her mind, [i][color=B7A74A]”Take it one step at a time, Hailey… is probably what Henry would probably say...”[/color][/i] When Henry lets her go and allows her to get back onto her laps for the Coach, since she still has 2 laps jogging and two sprinting to do. However, this was truly needed for her since she was a scaredy cat and the dread was causing her to not really do much. Even though, her written work was better than usually her NA training because of the fact she’s scared of it. [sub][@dragonpiece][@Th3King0fChaos][/sub]
