"I thought I told you not to talk to him!" Elena whisper-yelled at me as we walked to the therapy room.
"Everybody deserves a chance! Just because he looks like a bad guy from the outside, doesn't mean he is one!" I replied, a little mad that she could judge him so quickly.
"I didn't say he looked like a bad guy, I just don't think he's a very good person to be hanging out with." She said defensively. I groaned and didn't reply.
Neither of us said anything until we were outside of the therapy room.
"It's my turn now, and you'll go after me. Do you think you need me to wait for you till you're done, or can you find your way back to our room?" She asked me while heading into where the therapist was.
"I think I can find my way," I answered her.
"Ok, I'll see you after you're done then." Elena walked into the room and I sat down in a chair by the door.
I just sat there until Elena's time was up and then I went in.
I sat down in a plush chair by a large desk. There was a young woman sitting behind the desk. She had brown hair that was pulled up in a bun on the top of her head. She was wearing a nice pink shirt and she was looking at a file, which I assumed was mine. That paper file was my life in her hands.
"Hello, Chelsea. I'm Dr. Calder, but you can call me Eleanor." She said looking up from the file.
"Um..hi," I said, but my voice raised at the end, making it sound more like a question.
"So, since its our first session, I was thinking we could just get to know each other. How does that sound?" She asked. I nodded.
"Is there anything you want to know about me?" She questioned.
"Um.. How old are you?" I asked shyly.
"I'm 25, fresh out of school." She answered, smiling. "My turn! Do you have any siblings?" I grimaced.
"Yeah," I sneered. "An older brother."
"You don't like him?" She seemed shocked.
"Nah. He's ok, just he's so good at everything! School, sports, dating, everything! He got a full ride to Harvard law. I'm proud of him and all, just I hate being compared to him. It's like I can't be my own person, I have to be just like Luke!"
"Oh," was her reply. Very intelligent. I slouched down in my chair. This is why I don't like telling people about my brother, no one understands.
She asked me some more questions, but I didn't really want to talk anymore, so I pretty much just sat there till my session was over.
I stood up and got out of the room as fast as I could when it was over. I was out of there so fast I didn't even pay attention to where I was going. When I finally got my senses back, I had no idea where I was.
I wandered around for maybe ten minutes, not seeing anything or any one familiar. I rounded a corner- straight into someone's chest. I quickly backed away from the person and saw it was Harry.
"Harry!" I cried. Finally, someone I knew! I ran toward him and hugged him. He awkwardly hugged back, not knowing why I was hugging him.
"Um..hi Chelsea." He said. I pulled back realizing that this was probably awkward for him.
"Oh. Um, I was lost and you're the first person I've seen that I know and I just wanted to find my room but I have no idea where we are and-"
"What room number are you?" Harry cut me off.
"Oh, um," I racked my brain. "Oh! 274! Yeah, that's it."
"Oh, yeah. You're Elena's roommate. I can show you the way." He grabbed my hand and pulled me the opposite direction I was originally headed. Oops. After walking for a few minutes in silence Harry finally glanced over at me and asked a question.
"Chelsea, what's your last name?"
"Um.. Hemmings. Why?" I answered.
"Oh, no reason." He replied, and the silence returned.
We reached me and Elena's room and I pulled Harry in for another hug.
"Thanks!" I said going to open the door. Harry stopped me by grabbing my hand and turning me toward him.
"Chelsea, can I tell you something?" He asked.
"Yeah, anything." I told him sincerely.
"The reason I talked to you today was because I already know you."
