A/N: I am glad you find my story interesting, @Maneine. Just dedicated this chapter to you! Thanks for your comment, darling! :-)

Have a look at Viola too, guys.

~~~~~~~~~~

(Michael's POV)

''A teen outsmarted you Michael?'' Viola laughed at me, bringing a hand over her mouth. A smirk formed on my lips as I gave her a light push on her shoulder. She faked being hurt, which made me roll my eyes. ''Terrific.''

We were standing near the receptioner's desk because that was the place we bumped into each other on the hallway. Once she told me she didn't have group therapy for another hour and I told her that I didn't have any urgent matter to take care of.. time sort of flied. The last time I looked at the clock was about forty minutes ago.

''Okay smarty pants, I'll tell you what he told me and I bet you make the same mistake I did.''

''Bring. It. On.'' She joked, but a smirk was already forming on my face.

''The first thing this boy does when I enter the office, the first thing he does.. He cries.'' I said like I couldn't believe it even now and she looked at me weirdly.

''Like.. yells?''

''No, Viola. Cries. Real tears. A tear rolled off his cheek and I only introduced myself!'' She paused, giving me a puzzled look. I didn't blame her. ''And of course, I asked him why he was crying. His answer was monsters.''

She only blinked at me. Her face brightened up.

''Then it's easy. He could be is schizophrenic. He probably hallucinates some sort of monster and-''

''Ha! That was what I thought but wrong!'' I beamed happily, suddenly feeling much better with myself. I've been giving myself a hard time for jumping to the conclusion. But seeing one could easily make that mistake..

''Then stop teasing me! Tell me what he said man.''

''Brace yourself for it because you might not be able to take the greatness.'' I joked and she only rolled her eyes at me, a smile playing on her face. ''He told me he was talking about the monsters with human faces and the fact that the real wold is where monsters are.''

Her mouth was agape, making me snicker.

''Well, I told you to brace yourself.''

''Michael this is.. He is something.'' She admitted in obvious awe, pussing her glasses back up her tiny nose. I obviously nodded. ''Did you know that the last line was from a movie?'' She asked me and I just shook my head, confusion on my face. ''That Percy Jackson movie and.. I forgot its entire name. Anyway, I am sure it's from a movie.''

''What baffled me was that he said something like that to me. He definitely isn't retarded..'' I mumbled more to myself. I've thought about his file too. I said from the start that mental retardation doesn't fit.

He probably said monsters to some other psychiatrist and.. that was it. Still, I had to test him about his writing skills. I made a mental note.

''You know.. It sounds to me like he was testing you.'' Viola said as a matter of fact and I just raised one of my eyebrows.

''Test me? Don't be ridiculous..'' I said, but involuntary, I started thinking about her words. He was testing me?! I tested him. Me. To think that..

''Whatever you say,'' Viola offered, seeing I looked rather conflicted. ''But why would he say something like that to you?'' I didn't know.

She shrugged after she finished he sentence and the topic was dismissed short time after. We didn't chat much afterwards because she had to go to her group therapy, and the thought that Isaac was testing me yesterday distracted me little by little.. and made me feel irritated.
