Double D’s.

Six Days Later: Friday.

I didn’t wait long. In fact, I believe they are a timely person, for they even apologised for keeping me long. They rambled on about fixing another students file. The woman did look like a busy-bot. Someone that has to finish doing one task before she does another. She also looked very old fashioned, in a way. Like she was from a different era, I suppose. She wore a high-waisted brown skirt that flowed down and tucked in was a long-sleeved, dark cream coloured shirt that had drawstrings on either side of the collar of it, twisted together and down her chest. Her hair was in a high bun, and there was a pencil stabbed in the centre of her bun, which I found rather odd.

I waited for her patiently enough. Knees together, hands clasped together, back straight… proper. I was prepared for an onslaught of questions from her. Therapists usually do the rounds. They pressure and try and figure out if what I have said was genuine or fake. They want to know if I am only here to whine and whinge about absolutely nothing, or if I really have some deep-seated issues they could help with.

I used to have lovely therapist, in a way. She knew my struggles and tried to help me even knowing I knew she didn’t like nor accept what I did that day to be right. But now this was an entirely different therapist. She can have that sweet smile on her now, but I will know if she hates me as soon as I mention my Guardian killing Timothy.

She shuffled in her seat, getting comfortable. A notepad was in her hands and a pencil in her other hand, twirling along with her fingertips. “Alright. Are you comfortable? Do you need a drink of water? Or, I can turn the heating on higher if you’re cold. You look cold.”

“How do I look cold?” I asked, which took her off guard. “I can’t express myself in a way that would make you think I look cold. I don’t shudder and shake, and my teeth do not chatter. So, how?”

“Your body position is very stiff. Unless that’s how you always sit, then I can complement your great back posture.” She began writing straight away. “But if you are uncomfortable, please, position yourself better.”

All I needed was for a school therapist to tell everyone that I slouch or sit improperly. I need to know her more before I can grow comfortable like I had done with my previous therapist. Right now, I will act accordingly and exactly how I do when I am in the public eye. Emotionless and drained of any feelings.

“So, how are you? Are you settling into Mage Academy – Oh, sorry, my name is Gail. I already know who you are, Eileen Frost.” She smiled sweetly and extended her arm. I reached out and shook her hand when she immediately twisted my arm and touched the black gem. I felt uncomfortable.
