"Emma! What the heck? Why are you acting like this? What did I do?" I scream for the whole school to hear.
"Having some friendship troubles? I'm sure you'll be able to talk to your mom about it after school." Sophie whispers in my ear as she walks past.
I almost punch her square in the nose but I miss and punch the air right above her head.
"Anger management!" she calls back.
"You've got your own problems too!" I scream back.
"Don't yell in the hallways, Keira! I expected more from you!" says Mrs. Katrul our math teacher.
Why is everything falling apart? Why is it always me? Emma isn't even my friend anymore and I'm getting diagnosed for having anger management problems by "Dr. Sophie". My life is just great. Just great.

"So how was your day?" Dr. Vmilo asks.
"Fine. Not fine. Terrible. The worst. I dunno. Pick which one." I answer.
"So I was looking up ways to deal with grief-" he says completely ignoring what I just said. "And one of the most common things that popped up was writing. Through my therapeutic training I already knew that-"
"Sure." I whisper.
"But for grief I wasn't that sure. So I have come up with a plan just for you, and it's kind of like an experiment because none of my friends of colleagues have ever done this."
"So I'm a lab rat?" I inquire.
"No. I never said that. Think it more like of an adventure that no one has gone on before."
"I'm not 4."
"Sorry, well here is the idea. Have you ever kept a journal?"
"Yeah in grade 7. But not anymore it takes to much time to write like hand write."
"Well that'll work perfectly. Because my idea was that everyday you write one word that describes what your feeling or how your day went. Usually these two things are very connected. Hopefully this strategy will help you vent a little bit everyday."
"On what, the wall?"
"No. Of course you'll write in a notebook of some sorts. So how do you like the idea?" Dr. V asks with a hopeful face.
"How long will I have to do this for?" I reply.
"Until you feel better. Until you feel comfortable with not having to write everyday."
"Ok."
"Any other questions?"
"Nope."
"Well I think we're done for the day. See you next time. Remember start today, the earlier the better."
"Yep."
