Therapy's Dope

Missy's POV

I had spent the whole day on Sunday thinking about what Lynn had said about speaking to the school's guidance counselor about my dark thoughts.

So here I was on Monday, standing in front of the guidance counselor's office.

"You can do it," I heard Lynn say from behind me, causing me to jump a bit.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's fine. I just—-"   "I don't know. Have you ever been to therapy?"

"No but therapy's dope! A friend of mine goes and it works for him so why not?" She said.

I reluctantly looked at her.    "Hey. It'll be okay. Trust me. I'll be here waiting for you when you're done if you want."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah."

I still didn't move. Lynn knocked on the door and I tried to make a run for it but she held me in place.

The door opened and the school counselor, Miss Rodriquez opened the door.

"Hola chicas. How can I help you?"

"Well my friend here needs to talk to you about something private," Lynn said.

"Welcome. Welcome. This is a safe space," she said.

I looked back at Lynn who gave me a reassuring smile, her dimples showing.

********

True to her word, Lynn was leaning against the wall next to the door when I was done with Miss Rodriquez.

It made me smile.

"So how was it?"    "A lot. I didn't expect to cry. That's for sure," I said.

"Did you skip class? No I went to English. I should be having History but it's boring so I don't mind skipping it."

I laughed.

I checked my phone. I would have an hour left of  Spanish but I wasn't feeling it so I decided to just chill in the gymnasium with Lynn.

She dribbled the basketball, making free throws while I watched.

She always looked so focused when she was in sport mode.

It was actually nice to watch.

I found myself taking in her physique.

She wasn't overly muscular but she definitely had muscles. They showed through her long sleeved navy blue shirt whenever she threw the ball.

I got my phone and started taking pictures of her. I told myself that it was for the project but it might have been for another reason too.

"Hey come shoot some hoops with me," Lynn said suddenly.

I stopped taking pictures. "What makes you think I can play basketball?"

"I don't know but just give it a try."

I smirked. "Okay but if I do you have to do a cheer routine with me."

Lynn rolled her eyes. "Fine now come on before this period's over. We can't skip two classes."
