"We need to talk!"

"Wyatt, can't you see I'm in the middle of a session?" Mr. Lucas yelled at the guy, pointing to me.

The guy who intruded, or Wyatt, glanced at me with his dark eyes pouring into mine. I jumped slightly in my chair as his piercing stare sent shivers down my spine. It felt like he could see right through me. I quickly looked away, bit my top lip hard and tried to shrink in my chair.

"We need to talk. Alone." With that last word, I guessed he was referring to me.

I looked between Mr. Lucas and Wyatt, confused and slightly intimidated by the intruder as he glared at me.

"Ivory's not going anywhere, we're still in session-"

"I don't give a shit!" Wyatt spat at Mr. Lucas and then turned to me. "You. Out." He nodded his head towards the door and I didn't hesitate to run out of the room.

To say I was scared shitless was an understatement.

After closing the door, I leaned against it and slid down to the ground slowly, hugging myself as the chilly air bit my skin. I controlled my heavy breathing and calmed myself down. Whoever this Wyatt guy is, he sure is rude and very intimidating. I don't think I've noticed him around, but then again, I don't really socialise with anyone around the school so it was hard for me to tell if he was new or not.

There was no denying that he was handsome, though. I mean, I've never seen a guy that good looking before. His hair was midnight black and kind of reminded me of all the nights I spent staring carelessly out the window, his jaw was strong and his eyes a dark brown.

No matter how handsome he was, there was something about him that made me uneasy when looking at him. His gaze was sharp and cold, his attitude far from polite and the way he talked... It all showed clearly that he was no man to be tempted with. Even after I looked away from his gaze, I could tell there was something under the surface, something dark and mysterious.

Something to be afraid of.

I could still hear the voices from inside and pressed my ear against the cold door, trying to listen in. "Why the hell did you tell my parents about the incident last week?" Wyatt spoke rather harshly.

"It was for your own good. I told them because you needed help to control your anger issues. I mean, look what you did to Ivory. The poor girl can barely speak to people and when she finally started opening up to me, you barged in and scared her off!"

Tears welled up in my eyes after what Mr. Lucas said. I knew he was right. I am weak and a coward. I can't even say a word without stuttering like a fool and sometimes people mistake me for a mute. Sometimes I just want to scream to the world that I can't help it. Besides, even if I do try to talk to someone, everything backfires at me in the end.

"If you're trying to get me to feel sorry for her, it's not working," Wyatt said angrily.

After a few moments of silence, I stood up from the ground and wiped the tears off of my cheeks. Then, Mr. Lucas spoke. "Alright Wyatt, let's make a deal. If you can get Ivory to open up and talk a bit more, I won't tell your parents anything about our sessions for the rest of the year."

"What if I don't?"

"I'll tell both of your parents everything."

I didn't want to listen in anymore, so I ran off into the student parking to wait for mum to pick me up. My chest was in pain and my head was getting dizzy. I understand that Mr. Lucas wanted to get me to speak so he can help me, but I felt betrayed because he made a deal with somebody I only know the first name of, who also scares the living daylights out of me. Why would Mr. Lucas do that? He knows I have trouble talking and yet he sends Wyatt to do the job for him.

Maybe Wyatt didn't accept the deal?

Well, one can only find out later on.
