It was weird how she could doubt herself so easily but when it came to her friends she could see them all taking on the world. And that was no different when it came to Grace. "Well maybe someday you will be, I mean if that is what you want?" she asked wondering more about her friend's dreams. Were all these designs something she wanted to make a reality or was it just a past time? What was it that Grace really wanted out of life?<br/><br/>Another laugh escaped Hayley as Grace mentioned the bumpers in bowling. "Man I'm so bad the bumpers never could save me. I've gotten a gutter ball in the next to mine before." she laughed again and for a moment remembering the found yet embarrassing memory. Out with her family when she was younger. Hauling that bright pink ball as quickly as she could, and watching it bump along the shiny wooden surface and right over to the next lane. "Still like to play though, granted we tend to make sure we are on the last lane after that little decedent." she smiled warmly for a moment longer.<br/><br/>"But yeah," Hayley tilted her head as her features softened, "The ministry of magic has really made a point of saying they are looking after our safety first this year. I have no doubt that its the only reason they have been allowed to reinstate the event at all." she tried to assure Grace, "Besides even if he is picked, he won't be alone. We could always back him up," she nodded firmly, hoping that would help Grace feel a bit better about the idea.<br/><br/>"Mums the word," Hayley nodded and pretended to seal her lips tight. She was never one to speak out of turn, even more so when it came to this sort of a situation. Grace would get around her feelings with Corey when she was ready. Hayley had no right to rush or betray that.<br/><br/>Hayley's brow scrunched as Grace seemed to get flustered about what happened back in her bedroom. She wanted to assure her that it probably wasn't that bad. But when it came to moments like that she understood feeling as if it could be the end of your world. Hayley could think of plenty of times where she'd thought the very same thing. Granted she wasn't expecting the moment in question to involved Grace's vibrator.<br/><br/>Hayley paused for a moment, almost wincing as she thought about it. A blush washing over her cheeks as Grace held up her phone to show her the picture of the toy. Granted her first thought was 'Wow that thing has all the bells and whistles!', "Ohhhh," she nibbled her lip and tried to think of a way to sooth Grace's worries but failed. "Ok yeah I can see why you're mortified," she admitted knowing full well she'd be flailing just as much. Though she didn't own a vibrator, in those private moments Hayley relied on her own hands to...shaking her head Hayley cleared her throat. "Ok yup, time to change your name and find another school." she teased a bit hoping it would get Grace to laugh and give her the time to think of something helpful to say.<br/><br/>"I'm sure he is just as unsure on what to think. I mean," she reached up and ran her fingers through her hair, "Everyone does it, and I mean...he's probably more embarrassed about his reaction to it. I mean that he thought it was a snake, did he flail, or scream like a kid? Sure he could think about the fact that you had been," Hayley paused and took a deep breath.<br/><br/>"I wish I was better at this, honestly I'd be ready to crawl under a rock myself. But maybe that isn't what you should do? Maybe talking with him, finding a way to laugh about it would be best." Hayley suggested, "Easier said then done I know. If it helps, you can flail with me all you want." she offered with a firm nod.
