"What makes you happy, Rowan?"
Her face went stoic.
"The question you should be asking is 'What used to make me happy?'" she replied with almost no emotion. The shrink winced and tried to grasp for words.
"Uh, err, please answer the original question, Rowan."
Rowan turned her head slowly and fully faced the 'doctor'. "When I'm not awake."
Rowan's shrink looked a bit shocked and tried to hide it. She scribbled on her clipboard furiously.
"That ends our session today."
Rowan stood up almost robotically and shuffled out of the office. As soon as she was alone in her car,
she screamed and wailed while pounding on the steering wheel, narrowly missing the horn.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid," she chanted while continuing to sob.
Rowan scolded herself for almost breaking her charade. No one was supposed to know how she really felt. She was to be just another rebellious, uncooperative teenager.
Rowan wouldn't let them break her, she would win this game.
