callie glanced at the papers spread out, which she just realized and was slightly surprised by them. that and surprised because of how she only noticed it when they were pointed out. “do you really think it’s odd? because i don’t. you should be happy if you’re happy. who cares whether or not people think you’re weird for that?” upon hearing her name being called, she went right up to it quickly before coming back to her to continue their conversation. “how old are these kids? i get it though, you want the kids to be a bit more independent and not have to continue asking the parents to do all the work. right?”

She shrugged her shoulders slightly. “I am happy. Just because someone isn’t always smiling, it doesn’t mean they’re not happy. Some choose to keep their happiness internalized.” She hesitated. “Everyone has their own view of what’s appropriate and what isn’t, dependent upon how they were raised and who they were raised by.” She eyed the homework and smiled a bit. “They’re kindergarten students, and they don’t have the guile to lie... Yet. I don’t mind when parents collaborate on the homework with their children to help them better understand it but times have changed a lot since we were their age. It’s not about playing and taking naps anymore. By the year’s end, they’re expected to know how to read and write.’ She wouldn’t get into how Common Core was to thank for that particular bit. It’d made school harder for young students who, in Serenity’s mind, simply didn’t have the mental acuity to understand. What little they were able to showcase mostly consisted of parroting. She tried to make it fun and easy for them but when the parents were doing the work for their children, it made her job harder.

stepping inside the coffee place, she glanced around before seeing a short line. after ordering a simple iced coffee, she waited with arms crossed over her chest before noticing someone. she thought it was strange to suddenly talk to a random person, but the fact that serenity didn’t look all too happy bothered her slightly. “why the long face?” she questioned, taking a step closer to the brunette as she stared at her.

She blinked, head tilting slightly, as she glanced up from the stack of homework she was grading. “It’s kinda weird to smile for no reason in public. People might think something was wrong with me.” She chuckled quietly, motioning to the stack of papers laid out in front of her. “If I was upset, though, it’d be because parents insist on doing their children’s homework for them. I don’t mind collaborations because, at their age, it’s pretty much mandatory but just doing it for them doesn’t do them any favors in the long run.”

She sighed, as she perused the homework assignments she’d been handed back. It was obvious to her who had done their homework and those of whom had parents that felt the need to coddle their children. In such cases, she gave the assignments a passing grade. It wasn’t the child’s fault their parents were dunderheads, and she wasn’t about to punish them for it. She picked up her coffee and took a generous swallow of the caffeinated goodness with a thoughtful frown.

... just kidding.

━━━ LUCY HALE. 28. CISFEMALE. SHE/HER. ↷ do you hear sharp edges, by linkin park? that must be serenity hayes. she has been living in los angeles as a kindergarten teacher for six years. during that time they have earned the reputation of the mama bear. it makes sense you know, they can be outspoken and overprotective. but let’s not forget they’re pretty maternal and affable. ( sunny. twenty-three. she/her. est )

Now, as far as I’m concerned... My name is Sunny. I’m twenty-three and abide by she/her pronouns. I live in the eastern standard timezone and absolutely adore anything Ron Swanson, Vikings, Travis Fimmel and lately, Knightfall. I tried to get into Legion and lemme just say that I don’t envy people with epilepsy that tried to watch that. It gave me a headache and that’s not even counting the twists and turns in the very first episode. I felt utterly lost and while I got through it, I didn’t know what the hell was up or down. While I do enjoy grittier shows, I have to understand just what in the hell is going on. 

As far as Serenity is concerned, she’s a total doll, albeit a bit... Shall we say, jaded. She’s lived in LA her whole life and didn’t even leave the city for college. She’s worked as a kindergarten teacher for the past six years, and she absolutely loves what she does. She’s the sort of person you can count on to be your shoulder to cry on and not have to worry about her blabbing to everyone within earshot. She’s a sweetheart but like I said, she does have her fair share of problems. On the surface, she seems to lead a pretty charmed life but on the inside, it’s anything but. She’s open for pretty much everything and anything and if you’re not sure, feel free to ask.

If you’re going to make her a family member, all I ask is that you run the details past me. I’ll almost always agree with everything, as long as it’s not particularly tragic or triggering for other people. Common sense stuff, really.
