《〰 Therapist - R.S.L 〰》Chapter 9 〰 Hot, Cold Stuff
Advertisement
My eyes fluttered open to a repetitive, annoying sound of my phone's alarm.
My hand went roughly to my eyes, rubbing them as the one thing roamed my head.
Jackson is going to accompany me today; meaning I'm not going to be alone the entire day.
It's still unhealthy how I feel terribly nervous, for he seems like a total chill guy- a cold stone fox.
It's either his chilly atmosphere transfers onto me, or my bullying field attacks him abruptly.
"Get up, Princess! It's time to go," dad knocked onto the door awaiting my confirmation as I let out a whimper, lazily indicating I'm up.
I was dragged into the bathroom after turning on some music in the room to cleanse and fully wake up before looking at the mirror. Dr. Lynch's advice seemed to work just fine on me yesterday- listening to some music he'd lended me, looking at the mirror to properly breathe before reciting:
"I'm confident," which sure did make me feel powerful.. "I'm beautiful...I'm me and I love myself."
I had this on for about five minutes, trying to comprehend every sentence I say. And yet, I still felt missing, I somehow felt like I needed an extra organ inside me- or an extra feeling.
I smiled at my reflection and tried to understand my needs, failing miserably.
My braided piggy tails were slung sideways on my shoulders and I looked at the way my green eyes twinkled.
Please be a good day, Monday.
I quickly rushed to the closet, pulling out a peachy tank top, my high waisted jean shorts, a white sweater and a pair of converse to top it off with.
I untied my braided hair, revealing my well volumed, natural, beach blonde waves, to secure a cute clips in it and wear a tie in my wrist just in case.

Never have I ever been so positive about a day at school. It's amazing how a person, a therapist to be exact, had such an impact on me. Even though I technically felt lost in this huge world, I had faith in me, like I knew what I needed.
I just wasn't ready to confess it to myself yet- perhaps a confirmation of it is what I mostly needed.
After tying my high tops, I trotted downstairs, seeing dad have his usual morning coffee, a cereal bowl put in the counter for me.
"Good morning, princess."
"Good morning, dad!" I chuckled digging into my breakfast, seeing him raise an eyebrow.
"Someone's grumpiness has been replaced," he smirked making me smile.
"I'm just sort of excited about having Jackson as my companion today at school," I explained, chewing on the lucky charms. "It's new to me."
"Jackson seems like a good guy.."
"What makes you say that??" I inquired, watching him slowly smile.
"He clearly makes you happy, and that makes me happy."
I grinned, wondering if half that was true...hoping it is.
*********
All eyes on the smoking hot newbie....
All eyes bulged because I, stupid Lia, am walking with him down the school alley.
"Is that Lia??"
"Oh my gosh, that guy is DEE- LICIOUS."
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend...wouldn't be a problem if Lia was his, though."
"Yeah, we could totally draw her poof."
Such attention on me was never gained and I only felt like a something in this school right at this moment. People staring AND talking about me is an ultra rarity in my life.
I tried my best to look confident, to walk ferociously, to be hard and cold, delicious and lovely...just like...dessert??

Therapists....
"Do you usually get such attention at school?" He slowly whispered, before we sat on an empty table with our trays on it.
"Uhm, mostly, no."
Way to go; drawing the boy away...
"I guess I helped," he winked at me, a smirk plastered on his perfectly carved face, making me look down, smiling.
Just then, a pair of forceful hands pressed on the back of my chair, bringing me down to have my body bang on the floor.
"Hey, good stuff."
"Uhm hello."
Might as well need to stop crushing on Jackson, before every girl present in this school crushes my bones just to talk to him.
I pulled my buzzing phone after sitting up, aching literally everywhere, to look at the text message:
I furrowed my eyebrows at the randomly sent text from the unknown number, before another text popped up.

8 199NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.

© 2021 Lord Eggar. All rights reserved. The old world of Tharix is an enigmatic mess of secrets and magic, weaved together by only the most powerful through its long history. This tale follows the curiously talented orphan Mikey. Despite his misleadingly humble beginning in the archipelago of Des Maron, Mikey has developed the uncanny skill known as 'Spell Weaving'. By merely witnessing magical talents, Mikey is capable of mimicking and developing his own spells and abilities from them. With his 15th birthday rapidly approaching and the dawn of adulthood trailing behind it, Mikey plans to set out on a journey of self discovery. In spite of his upbringing, Mikey has had one question his entire life - only to recently find a new one to accompany it: What was this 'X' marked on the back of his hand? And why is it now glowing?
