A faint sigh was heard as the brown haired woman prepared for the day ahead of her, a tape played in the background "Remember that you are you, and that’s okay" the crackling voice from the tape played as a soft sigh passed the dark haired woman's lips "I am me... and that’s okay" She said in an almost hushed tone tying her hair back as she heard the faint clapping from the tape adjusting her white blouse before tying a black handkerchief around her neck she then smoothed out the wrinkles in her black pencil skirt looking at the mirror with a determined look upon her face. Today classes started, this year would not be like the others, not the brunette was determined, this year she would not accidentally spook her coworkers, or the students, this year was the year her image would change, no longer would small children cry when she walk passed them, or her coworkers scream when she entered the room and tried to join the conversation, oh no, this year she would be a model staff member. Well at least she hoped that she would.
Making her bed before leaving she grabbed the small leather purse pulling out her key chain with a wide range of keys as she swung the purse onto her shoulder she turned to the cassette player with a small smile. "Remember to be you, because you are important" the voice said as Coraline clicked the off switch on the player before turning out her lights and walking out of her small apartment her black heels clicking against the floor as she inhaled deeply trying to calm the worries that were building in her gut, this year she hoped that she'd finally get control over her life.
Her heels clicked against the floors of the school while she pondered how the event last night went. Coraline had not attended due to the fact she worried she might make a student faint like she had the previous year, she had a nervous smile as the memory emotionally jabbed at her, she had to listen to what her 'self-help tapes' told her, she should not dwell on the bad, but the good, like doing the school announcements and filing student files, maybe treating herself into watching a cat video or two, and then making sure absent students were actually ill and not faking it, of course she did that after the one year a lot of students thought it would be fun to skip when they were not ill, she frowned at the thought, though when she came out from under their beds, or their closet they all straightened up and took classes seriously, though she didn't really get that even though she was really worried it had become a rumor about her punishing bad students, or in some cases rumors about her trying to drag them into whatever realm was under their bed. None of that was true though since Coraline would never dream of hurting a student.
Though scaring students was something she did not like to do, she could not help it due to what she is, and the fact that she'd starve to death if she did not scare students, or feed of their anxiety. Walking past a few students she was glad they were either scared or worried about what would happen on the first day meant she did not have to try and fill herself on food from a cafe, which never quite filled the gap with Coraline.
Finally making it to her station, her desk, the first thing people saw when going to see the staff in their offices, or even the headmaster, Coraline's desk, set up with a computer and having a lot of filing cabinets. Coraline sat down in her small chair while it squeaked as she sat down and powered up the computer before scooting her chair over to the filing cabinets noticing the school announcements for the day posted up she smiled a little before taking the slip to her desk and then setting up for a day's work.
