Eminem: My Friend, My father In-Law

Chapter 3: Meeting Hailie

Stan's [P.O.V]

As i walked into my geometry class, i found a seat. I didn't realy care where i sat as long as i was safe. The teacher began taking attendance of the class. Along the way, he noticed i hadn't said anything yet and asked me what my name was.

"Oh, sorry m'ham, my name's Stan Cooper" I replied. She looked at the list again, "well it doesn't look like your name's on here, can i see your schedule?" I pulled it out of my backpack and showed her, as it turns out i switched up the classes.

"It looks like you need to go to U.S History sir!" the teacher replied. I nodded and said thank you and told the teacher i would see her later. As i rushed down the hall i tripped, that's a habit of mine when i'm nervous. I got up and made it to the history class, out of breath. As i walked in the room, the whole class laid eyes on me.

"Ah you must be Mr. Copper, yes?" the older male teacher laughed. "Yes...i...am...sorry...sir..." i replied, trying to get my breath back. The teacher then got serious "I know you are a new student, so i'll let you off with a warning. We have a very strict no-late policy here at this school, be late again and you'll get detention". I nodded and pointed me to a seat, which i made my way too.

As i looked around the room at the new faces, one girl stuck out in particular. She was a beautiful blonde with brown eyes, and light skin. I ended up starring at her for a good 10 seconds before she noticed and i quickly turned away. The teacher told us to get out our textbooks and turn to Chapter...oh i don't care. The teacher asked us a basic question, and the first person to raise her hand was the blonde girl i was starring at. The teacher smiled and replied

"Yes, Ms. Mathers?". Ms. Mathers? isn't Eminem's last name Mathers? Unless..." I put the pieces together in my mind, and came to a conclusion, she must be Eminem's daughter, Hallie. I smiled and knew that moving to Detroit wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. After 60 minutes and a boring lesson, my teacher announced we were going to have a big project, with partners he would choose. We all groaned, because no one wanted to work with people they  didn't know. When the teacher came my name, he said something i will never forget.

"Stan Cooper... you are going to be working with Hailie Mathers other there." he pointed in her direction. I made a little excited, but nervous at the same time. I mean...i was a new kid and being that new kid mean't i hadn't really found my place yet. Hailie on the other hand was the most popular kid in school, i mean wouldn't you be too if you were Eminem's fucking daughter! It didn't matter to me though if she was semi-famous, i came from Compton which mean't i didn't give a shit.

Hailie's [P.O.V]

I've been asking myself "Who the hell is this kid?" ever since he walked through that door. I didn't have a problem with him, besides him starring at me a little too much, but i have to remember i am not normal sometimes. I'm the daughter of someone famous. I've always had trust issues though with people, even though i'm around hordes of people all the time. I only trust about maybe...5 people total at the school. However, this Stan guy fascinated me...

"Should i go introduce myself?" i asked myself. I mean if we are going to hanging out, working on this project, we might as well get to know each other a little better. Just as the bell rang i tried talking to him outside of the classroom, but it was no use...he left before i could even say hi. "Why am i getting so worked up over this guy?" i wondered to myself. I laughed and said..."because he actually treats you like a human being" At lunch, I walked over to where he was at with my friend Allie.

"So are you Stan?" i asked him curiously. He paused for a second and looked at me kinda nervous like, but with a little confidence. It was kinda attractive to be honest.

"Yeah...Stan Cooper". We paused for a second. I spoke up " You know who i am, right?" Stan replied, "Yeah your Hallie" with a assuring smile on his face. I smiled too "Yeah..we're working on that history crap together right?"

Stan's [P.O.V.]

What the hell is up with Detroit? Hallie's approaching me now! I told myself to stay cool while she was talking to me. "Stan?....Stan?...you their?" Hailie kept asking. "Oh damn sorry!" i said, her friend spoke up "Are you sure your name's not Walter Mitty?" she laughed and walked away to another area. Hailie sighed "I'm sorry Stan, she's really cool, but she's pretty judgemental to people she doesn't know." I sighed and said it was okay. Then she did something i did not expect at all.

"Do you want my number?" she asked "What? really?" i said kinda excited but laughing at the same time "Already?" She laughed "Why not? we have to work on it tonight." I nodded "At your place?" She nodded back "Yes but call me before you come so i can open the gate ok?"

"Yeah yeah sure" i said. We both waved goodbye as we headed of to our different classes. I felt something i hadn't felt since I left Compton, happiness.
