I stiffened.
"You are not a doctor. You are not a therapist. You are not my friend." That was all. The man shook his head.
"True and true," he confirmed, "You speak as if those qualifications make a person your friend?" I glared at him. I didn't like him at all. I was seething.
"Friends are not important." I said, sneering.
"To you." He added.
"Fine. To me." Agreed.

"We have work to do." He said. Not really to anyone. I stopped kicking and he sat me down. I brushed myself off, and pulled my blanket back over myself.
"What work?" A growled. He raised his eyebrows. "Get dressed," he said, "Then we'll talk." He strode put the door without looking back.
