24/7 (a yandere story)

Hailey smiled softly as she dragged her paintbrush down her canvas. The thought of Oliver never left her mind. He was like a drug that made her high each time she would think of him. He just makes her genuinely happy.

She lets out a satisfying sigh while she tilted her head to side. Her hair flowing to the side of her figure while she closed her eyes as blush became visible on cheeks.

She was infatuated.

She could not focus-

It has been 2 years that she has this major crush on a mere boy.

How could she be drowning when she has not made any progress...-

"Ms June..." Gasped the teacher, startling her to the point that she spilled the paint over her apron and dropped some on the floor. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the mess she has made. She frantically apologized to the teacher while she tried to pick up the paint, "Your art is so... Beautiful.." she examined with a touch of her finger. She was rendered speechless at the masterpiece before her.

"Oh, this... I have been working on this for a few months.." Hailey softly said as she stood up, "Teacher, I am so sorry, but you were not suppose to see this.." Hailey said with guilt lingering into her speech. She had been doing another project other than the work she was given to do by the teacher. She has been doing her own project... She just needed to express her feelings in some way other than to stare at the cause.

The teacher smiled softly, "Whatever do you mean?" she chuckled and whispered as she leaned foward, "I know you haven't been doing what you have been told to do..." she gave Hailey a closed eye smile. Hailey stared at her art teacher in shock. She knew all along, but she has not scolded her, "Art helps you express yourself..." she stated as she looked back at Hailey's painting, "... And your art is very expressive. There is Alot of emotions that wants to be said..."she says while looking at the painting. Hailey lowered her head as she thought about a certain male as her teacher spoke,

"... but you cannot face it. "

She sighed out a sigh and continued speaking, "I wanted to ask you if I could take some of your art work and place them in the school's auction that is coming up soon."

"REALLY!"

"of course," chuckled the teacher, "I could ask the principal to hang some of the work in the hallways of the school" informed the art teacher, trailing her finger across the lining of Hailey's artwork. It truly was breathtaking.

Hailey bounced, "That would mean Alot, teacher!!!" she smiled brightly at the idea. Just the thought of him, walking by her paintings and acknowledging her work.

She could faint!

She could scream her lungs out.

Oliver looking at her pieces that was secretly directed to him, would, of course, be bliss. Her pupils turned into hearts at the thought of Oliver gazing at her work with deep admiration.

She let of a loving sigh, "and that face?" the teacher asked with a small chuckle which caused Hailey to snap out of her little love trance. She shook her head slightly at all the daydreams that suddenly appeared in her mind of Oliver and herself.

She nervously scratched her head and looked up to the teacher, "sorry teacher." she sighed out with a chuckle, "I was just thinking about something" The teacher only hummed with suspicion while she walked to the other paintings.

Hailey took advanced art or well, she was given a scholarship to this school because of her art. This school do not normally hand out these financial aids to anyone, so she was just lucky. She was gifted in expressing her feelings and ambition in her art when she could not do that verbally. She hated that she wasn't good at expressing herself in that sense. She sighed out sadly while she thought about Oliver. How she could not express herself to him... She just gets all nervous with him just looking her way.

She just wants to hide away.

Her eyes suddenly widened when the thought of her needing to beat him in the upcoming exams made an appearance in her clouded mond. She gripped tightly onto her paintbrush.

How would that even be possible... She was never the A student in school. She never received good marks for her academics.

Never

Art was where she flourished. This was where she enjoyed herself...

The art room.

She lowers her head in defeat..

She does not how she will get away with this...
