I woke up with a migraine due to the fact that I cried myself to sleep. Today was saturday I was supposed to go shopping with Enid but due to my short temper Miss Weems will drive me to a sort of therapy for my anxiety and to know myself better. I didn't want to go I would've rather stay in my room reading or just doing nothing but I think it's better for me to just start getting ready. I washed my face with some really cold water since my eyes were so puffy and put lots of mascara. I felt numb I didn't feel something in the moment. I had to choose a simple outfit to go out I went over my dresser and just grabed a pair of jeans and a knit sweater on it was only september but it was very cold. I putted some essentiels in my bag and went to miss Weems office. She opened me the door I didn't even had to knock.
-Morning. I said keeping my head low.
-Are we feeling better this morning?
-Yeah much better. I lied. But she did not have to know about that.
-That's wonderful come in I just have to grab my things. She said looking around for her bag she picked it up. Are you ready to go?
-Yeah.
-Great follow me. I did as she said and with that we got in her car. She smiled and started driving. She seemed so relax and yet I was so tense. She started talking still looking at the road and never even glance at me.
-It takes a lot of courage to ask for help I'm really happy that you talked to me.
-Really?
-Yeah I want my students to feel like we care about them because we really do. So she would've done that for everyone? She seems like she really cared about me, more than a principal is supposed to care about her students maybe it was just an impression and beside I don't really care how she feel about me she's my principal not my friend. Talking about that I should talk to Enid and apoligize.
-What are you talk- thinking about? She said. She seemed weird and for the first time she looked at me and smiled.
-Enid.
-Don't you worry I'm sure everything will go back to normal. Enid is a nice girl you know she will understand that you were not in a good mood let's say.
-You think?
-I'm sure. I smiled and look at the trees outside. Leaves were starting to change colors.
-I love autumn don't you? The colors the smell it's so pleasent looking.
-Yeah but it's cold. I chuckled.
-You're always cold I bet in summer you go out with a sweater.
-Well not on me in my bag in case. We both laughed.
-Oh there is my favorite coffee shop.
-Really yesterday I talked with Enid about it?
-About my favorite coffee shop? She looked confused.
-What no about this place I have nothing to do on the week-end so I thought I could applied there.
-That's a good idea.
-Yeah I could work on being more social.
-Oh there it is so your appointment is for an hour I stay here waiting for you.
-Ok thanks by the way.
-You are more than welcome. I smiled and got out I entered the building and a blonde woman came to me.
-Hello Yn, my name is Dr.Kinbott.
-Hi.
-You can sit down.
-So I heard that you came her for mostly anxiety?
-Yeah and other stuff.
-Ok I see talk about it.
-Well I had a fight with my friend I got mad at her for nothing and now I regret it she didn't deserved it. It's like my emotions just exploded on her.
-I understand, did you know that we tend to be mean with people we trust and we know that they'll always be there for us?
-No not really but it doesn't matter I feel so bad.
-I think you are really impulsive and you don't think before you talk. Am I right?
-Sadly yes. I admit.
-And for your anxiety?
-I feel like everybody hates me and I'm scared of what other might think about me so I just stay alone.
-But you had your friend um?
-Enid.
-Yes Enid before you had a fight you two were friends?
-Yes but she came up to me I didn't and it's the same with Xavier.
-Xavier I know him he's a nice guy.
-He really is. I respond.
-Do you write?
-I do. About my emotions and how I feel it helps me understand myself better.
-Well that's a really good start. It shows that you want to help yourself which is amazing. Because if you don't want to get better it'll never happens.
-Do you have any tricks about what I told you and the way I feel?
-I do. She talked for a long time and finished by.
-I hope that it was helpfull would you like to come back one day?
-Yes but not too soon if it makes sense?
-It does can I talk about our session with Miss Weems?
-Yes it's okay thanks for your time. I got up and leave. I went in the car she was smilling at her phone.
-What are you smilling about.
-Uh um nothing. She quickly put her phone down and turned to me.
-So how was it?
-Clearly not as exiting as what you were doing but it was okay I think I'll go back another day. And you how waiting in the car was?
-Very good you know I thought about the job you talked about and I had contacts and you have an interview.
-No you're kidding?
-Not at all.
-Stop you did that, why?
-Because I thought it would've been nice to help you a bit.
-Ok well thank you but when is it?
-In 5 minutes. She said.
-What omg it's right now. I looked at myself in the mirroir of the car.
-Do I look presentable?
-Yes you look profesional stay calm everything will be alright.
-What if they say no? It would be so embarrassing.
-They won't trust yourself. Now go don't be late okay?
-Yeah ok thanks see you later. I smiled. I crossed the street feeling so nervous I got in the cafe and looked around to see a boy.
-Oh hi I'm here for an interview.
-You're Yn?
-Yes.
-Ok follow me. We sat down at a table to talk.
-I'm Tyler it's a pleasure to meet you. I never saw you before are you new here?
-Yes I just started at Nevermore.
-The freak's school?
-Yes and let me tell you it's something.
-But you seems normal. He said intrigued.
-Because I am.
-First time I see a normie go at Nevermore. So how old are you?
-18.
-Good languages that you speak?
-English and french.
-Nice and did you ever had a job?
-No never it's my first time. He started writting I got stressed.
-But I do learn very fast.
-Oh then that's good! Yn you are hired congrats. When can you start?
-Umm I tomorrow?
-Perfect I'll be the one forming you tomorow. See you there.
-Yes thank you Tyler. I got up and rushed in the car sit down Principal Weems was staring hard at me.
-Soo?
-I got hired.
-What no for real.
-I fucking got hired!
-Language!
-Sorry but I got hired.
-When are you starting?
-I panicked and said tomorrow.
-That's nice need a ride?
-I think I would it'll be nice of yo-
-Of course now let's go you need to talk to Enid.
-Forgot about her what should I say?
-Go with the flow.
-I'll try. She started driving and talking about her shitty week and the fact that she was stressed because it was a new year and she had so much to do. I didn't know what to say. So I just listened and noded. Then something more intersting.
-.. and now there's this man that I've been texting and he wants to go on a date and I really don't know what to do because I don't know.. You probably don't care.
-No continue I do care.
-Ok so I don't want to go with him you know but I do want to go on a date just to go on a date so I think I'll go but I don't want anything with him I just want attention and being treated nicely you know and maybe more but I just feel so alone I want all that but without love well his love. You know what I mean?
-No not really but you should not go because it's weird have you even seen him in real life?
-No but we talk a lot.
-Why not wait for the right person?
-I'm tired of waiting the last right person left me a long time ago and since I don't want to restart this whole getting to know each other falling in love and crying and breaking up.
-That's the point of dating.
-Yes I know but I don't want that I just want the positive of dating.
-That's call fuckfriends. She stopped the car.
-Excuse me?!
-What I'm just saying that's what you told me. You want him to be nice and more like you said but without love.
-Still that is no way to speak to your principal.
-You're the one who talked about your love life.
-You're the one who asked for it.
-No I did not, I just told you to go on since you were already rambling.
-Watch your tone. She continued driving.
-Anyways I think the term that you use is not correct because he's not that attractive.
-You have a picture?
-Take my phone 74438. I was so curious I typed in the code she was looking at the road.
-What do I do next.
-Open Tinder.
-No way you met this guy on Tinder.
-What what's wrong? She looks concerned.
-Hey listen do you want me to be honnest?
-Uhm yeah.
-Okay look I'm saying this as let's say a friend not as your student let's pretend you're not my principal for a minute okay?
-Okay..
-This guy wants to fuck you. She gasps.
-What no I'm not kidding men on Tinder don't look for a solid relationship they just swip til they see a fuckable woman.
-Did you just call me fuckable?!
-No what I didn't he probably swiped right because he took you were beautiful but still he probably don't want to start a family. What I'm saying is that Tinder are for a place to talk a bit before a one night stand.
-Ok your minute is done, never ever we will talk about that again and don't you dare bring that up. And do not talk to me like I'm not your friend ok?
-Yeah I know but I did tell the truth. Now let's see what he look like. No fucking way he's so ugly.
-Language!
-You really wanted to go out with him?!
-Why not?
-Because you are out of his league.
-What does that even mean?
-That you're too good for him.
-Really you don't even know him.
-Listen look at you and look at him.
-Yeah you're right.
-Can I read the convo?
-Uh yeah I think so. She seems to think if there's anything not appropriate. I scrolled to the begining.
-This guy is weird who start a conversation by I looked at your bio and you seem perfect. Guys like that think women are like a car if it doesn't fit in his taste it's trash. So first red flag.
-How can you tell?
-Because I can it's obvious. Let's see. What you respond thank you!? Like you were lucky to be chosen he probably said to over a thousand women.
-So does this count as a red flag? I just looked at her. She noded.
-Ok second red flag what's next?
-Oh wait he just text.
-What does it say?
-Can you give me a quick answer for tonight please? Say yes please you seem perfect.
-I think that's a third red flag, Yn please block him.
-Done. You should delete that app.
-You're right do it.
-Do you want me to call someone too? I said.
-No that would be alright. I saw her smiling. I put her phone down.
-And that conversation never happened. Alright?
-Which conversation?
-Good. We arrived at school.
-Go talk to Enid now, you'll feel better trust me.
-Ok do I still have to come to your office.
-Only if you want to.
-Ok. I went to Enid's dorm and then knock. I heard her footstep. She opened the door.
-What are you doing here. She looked confused.
-To apoligize.
-Come in. She smiled.
-I'm so sorry Enid. You just wanted to do something nice and I got mad at you. I was just overwhelmed with stress and so many things, and I just said random stuff.
-It's okay I should've done that too but I really thought you and Xav-
-Enid I like girls.
-Well that's clear. And it's okay you're all forgiven.
-Thanks Enid still want to go shopping tomorrow?
-Yes duh.
-Ok I'll come to your dorm at 10 then.
-Ok bye. She said while hugging me.
-Oh no I can't.
-What for tomorrow?
-Yes I got the job at the local cafe.
-No way we stop talking for less than 24 hours and you get a job? She said laughing.
-I'm a very busy woman, you see.
-I see. Well next saturday?
-That sounds perfect! I then walked away to go in my room. I can't belive it if it wasn't from Principal Weems help, Enid and I wouldn't have make up for our fight. I wouldn't have a job nor a therapist. Or worse a better relationship with her. I think I judged her way too quickly. She is a really nice woman and is very caring. I was wrong she was lovely I really started to appreciate her more. I wanted to go to her office and talk but it was late and I didn't want to annoy her. It's been 10 minutes it's now 9:10. Fuck it. If she doesn't want to talk then she'll turn me around. I was wearing jogging and I did not wanted her to see me like that so I quickly change into nike shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt. I looked better I just put some gloss and I was thinking.. Why would I care about my looks in front of her? Anyways I brushed my hair to make sure they were looking like silk. (I'm sorry if you hair are curly.) I opened the dorm and went to her office. I knocked 3 times before she answered.
-I thought you would've skip our little session today.
-I changed my mind. I'm sorry I know it's late I just wanted to talk.
-Talk to me or talk in general?
-To you I guess?
-Ok go on. She said while pourring herself a glass of red wine.
-I had a long day..
-Ok so..
-Can you make the wine for 2?
-No you are my student. She said firmly.
-Yes but it's the week-end and I'm 18.
-Don't get use to it. Come and get it. I stand up and made my way to her desk smiling.
-I swear if you talk about to someone you're expelled.
-About what? I said sipping.
-Nothing why are you wearing shorts? Aren't you cold?
-I am but I was about to go sleep and I wanted to talk to you.
-About to sleep with gloss on? What am I suppose to say?
-It's lip oil. I'm such a fast thinker.
-I see..
-Anyways I talked with Enid.
-So?
-Everything is now normal between us. Thank you without you I wouldn't have talked to her. And for the job too and also for Dr. Kinbott. Why would you do that? I mean we had such a bad start.
-Well people can change. She said getting up and putting a blanket on my legs and hers. She removed her heels and was now sat on the couch with me. She was looking at me she even bring the bottle with her.
-So tell me.
-About what. I said looking in her eyes. They were so pretty.
-The book.
-Which book I read a lot.
-You know what I'm talking about. I did.
-What do you want to know?
-Do you have a Carol to your Therese?
-I don't why?
-Just asking.
-Wait you read it?
-I did.
-Did you ever find a Therese to your Carol? She noded.
-Really who? She sighed pourring us more wine.
-I'll need that. She said talking about the wine.
-Slow down with the wine.
-Anyways I was a student here back then.
-You studied here? I asked.
-Do not interupt me. So this girl she was my roommate. I gave her a look to tell her: Did you sleep with her.
-No let me finish. And I asked her to go to a dance with me and she did say yes. But the next day I found her kissing a boy in our grades that I always hated. So since then I dated men maybe too man-
-Watch what you say I don't want details and slow down on the wine.
-Yeah you're right about the details part not the wine's. And since I didn't date another woman because I hurted to much the last time.
-I'm sorry.
-Whatever it's past.
-Fill me up please. I said giving her my glass.
-But I have a question that I would really like answers to..
-What is it my dear. My dear that nickname call me darling already. What was I thinking it's the wine. Always the wine.
-You're not a normie. What are you?
-You wouldn't understand.
-I can try.
-And beside not one student nor profesor here knows it's kind of a secret.
-Now I'm curious. Tell me please. I said giving her my prettiest doe eyes.
-That's a story for another day. She said touching my nose. In a flirty way.
-Okay then show my your yearbook.
-Oh that would be funny. She got up to grap it she sat back down but very closer to me.
-That's you right?
-How do you know?
-You didn't really age plus you're kind of tall. I said looking up at her.
-Yeah that's true. We turned and turned pages to see a missing page.
-What happened there?
-I got drunk and rip that page and throw it in the fire.
-Alright moving on.
-Oh that's when I won for the impresion contest.
-You don't even look like yourself.
-I had a lot of makeup.
-No your face shape and your nose they are different.
-I grew up.
-No. I said turning back to a picture of her when she was younger.
-See even there your jawline and nose are different. I said pointing at the picture looking at her.
-I don't.
-I know now it makes sense your password on your phone 74438 those number spells shift. You're a shapeshifter. I said as quickly as I finished my sentence her hand was over my mouth and she got very close of my face.
-Thinking we are smart here uh? She looked very mad. Her grip on my arm was really tight. My eyes began to tear up I was scared what did I do wrong? As soon as she saw my eyes she let go of me.
-What is wrong with you? I got up so did she I took a step back. My heart was racing.
-Yn I'm sorry can you please sit down? My arm hurted I looked at it to see trace of her nail in my skin. She got close to me and took my arm.
-I'm sorry sit and stay here. No I didn't want to sit and stay calm what the fuck just happened. But I didn't have the courage to leave so I stayed. She was back with a small first aid kit. Wrapping my arm.
-Yn, I- she sighed
-You what.
-I'm sorry I shouldn't got mad at you. But listen to me carefully no one can know about that ok?
-I wasn't going to tell someone. You didn't have to grab me like that.
-I know I just panicked. She pulled me in a hug.
-I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you.
-No it's okay I understand.
-I just messed up this whole day we had I'm sorry.
-It's not that deep. But going to that date with the Tinder guy that could've ruined your day. She started laughing.
-Yeah you're right.
-I am so tired.
-Here let me help you. She removed the blanket from my leg and took my glass and grabed my hand to help me stand up.
-Good night my dear.
-Night Miss Weems. I got to my dorm and went straight to my bed I was so tired and tomorrow was my first day at the cafe. I was not stressed anymore everything was going well. I fell asleep thinking about how I was lucky to have her.
