The fact she never really had a friend in her old school always hurt but the baggage she carried always felt heavier. However, the people at this school were so much more nicer and kinder than anyone at her old school. It was obvious at day, even her childhood friends at that school was avoiding her like the plague, it hurt much. However, when she heard Nath’s response to what’s going on with her it just gave her a big smile. [color=B7A74A]”I-I… we are friends, Nath. It’s just hard to remember the last time… This, is the first time people at a school… were nice to me. They avoided me as if I was forbidden to talked too…”[/color] Hailey said, responded to his first question. Her tone of voice was definitely heart broken at the fact her school before Trinidad was awful. All because of the people she was hanging out with, which is why she’s not really in a clique in this school. She wants to be the shining beacon of friendship, even though she has problems with that sort of thing. However, when she saw Nath put out his arms as if he wanted to hug her. It made her just walk up to him and hugged him. [color=B7A74A]”U-Umm, thank you Nath… for somewhere I can talk out my anguish. I-I don’t like this feeling of hopelessness… As if someone or something is watching my every move… It must be [i]The Dread[/i].”[/color] Hailey said, with a shiver down her spine ever single time talking about the Dread. However, it did nothing still as if its not doing anything right this second. This relaxed her a bit more even though, she must be ever vigilant against whatever is the dread. It was sweet that everyone in this school was very friendly towards people whom are suffering with emotional baggage alike her. She was grateful towards Nath, Henry and everyone in her homeroom class. If it wasn’t for them, she would be completely lost in the never ending darkness. She cried while hugging Nathaniel, even though she was 3 inches taller than him. [color=B7A74A][i]”Uhh, I never really noticed how short Nath was…”[/i][/color] Hailey thought to herself, a bit curious why she never really noticed that. It was sweet what Nath is doing for her, almost when Henry gave her a hug and outright cared for her. Trying to make sure the Dread didn’t take over, where she lost what left of her pleading soul. She was surely wanted to give up but Oscar, Nathaniel, Henry and everyone including the teachers were showing true kindness. [color=B7A74A]”U-Umm, Nath? I-I would really like that bite to eat you so kindly offered me.”[/color] Hailey said, with a smile on her face. She finally was given the one thing she wanted for a long time, which was Hope. It was obvious she had none, no hope within her whole being. She was a little bit off from ending herself, however, no one truly showed her hate or anything towards her. Even though every school does have its bullies, which hurts. Its always great to have been given hope from the ones who first showed something she never saw until now. Whatever caused the dread to activate helped her to finally get out of her shell a little bit. She still has a long way to go until she turns her life around but been given the one thing she lacked ever since she got here was a good thing. [color=B7A74A]”I finally have [b]Hope[/b]. I thank everyone who gave me what I lacked… for so long… nothing felt right in my life until everyone came and showed me there’s a different answer. To not give up and face your fears...”[/color] Hailey said, which she spoke the word Hope loudly only to get attention of Oscar. While all the other words were spoken loud enough only towards Nath since he’s the one whom offered her a hug and everything. Almost like Henry too, she will never forget the kindness these people gave her the rest of her life. [sub][@The Man Emperor][@Th3King0fChaos][/sub]
