Hayley Barker is the tritagonist of the book 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents and its sequel titled 101 Ways to Bug Your Teachers. Her father owns a golf course called Gadabout Park where Steven J. Wyatt and Hiccup work as groundskeepers. She is Steven J. Wyatt's second-best friend with Hiccup being his best friend. Steven also has somewhat of a crush on Hayley. Hayley's mother died in a car accident a couple years prior to the book's events. Hayley is a lot more mature and less prissy than other girls within her age group. Sometimes, she gets a little annoyed with the antics of Steven J. Wyatt and Hiccup. At first, she didn't like them, but they grew on her eventually. When Steven J. Wyatt wrote his list of 101 ways kids would bug their parents, she actually thought it was a cute idea and relatable to everyone. However, she quit being friends with him after he wrote the same list about his teachers just to stay out of high school. However, they made up for it after Steven helped Hayley out with the issues she was having with her dad and new girlfriend who turned out to be in fact one of Steve's teachers (his history teacher to be exact).
