《The Academy 3》24
Advertisement
I was peacefully sleeping when an obnoxious individual slammed opened my door. Tamsin was yelling at me to get up while she clanged two metal pots together. I covered my ears with my hands. I then glared at her, but she was having way too much fun. I scoffed and got out my bed, ready to beat her up.
"Hold on." Tamsin stopped me in place. "You and Nicola have to be honest with each other if you ever want to have a healthy relationship." She seriously woke me up to tell me this?!
"You couldn't wait for me to wake up before telling me this?!" I scoffed and went back to my bed.
"Hey!" I glared at her when she began banging the pots together. "No sleeping for you! We have an appointment."
"This is the first I'm hearing about a meeting. Who are the clients?" I got out of bed.
"You and Nicola." She smirked. Huh? "I have selflessly decided to be your therapist." You have got to be kidding me.

She was not kidding me. Nicola and I were looking at each other in annoyance. Yep, Tamsin went and woke Nicola up the same way. I'm pretty sure the entire dorm heard Rosé scream bloody murder.
We were waiting inside a rage room while Tamsin spoke with the staff. Originally, Tamsin wanted to take us quail shooting, but Gemma didn't think it was the best idea to give me a gun with Nicola around. Gemma wasn't wrong since I knew Tamsin could expertly hide the body hehe
Tamsin came back, looking all too pleased with herself. I rolled my eyes at her cocky smirk. She handed us safety glasses and led us to choose our weapons. Now, what can easily hack Nicola's head off... I'm kidding, I'm kidding... maybe I'm kidding 😈

I chose a mallet while Nicola chose a bat. She gave me a smirk while practicing her swing. I smirked back at her by gently hitting my hand with the mallet. Tamsin briefly arched a brow. Her eyes widened when she realized what was going on.
"No!" She grabbed our attention. "I did not bring you two here to hurt each other." Nicola and I rolled our eyes. "I brought you two here to release your anger. Before you smash any item, you have to say something that annoys you about the other person."
"That should be easy." Nicola and I spoke in unison. We then turned to glare at each other.
"I'm starting to think this wasn't a good idea." Tamsin scratched her head.
"Best idea you ever came up with, Tammi." Nicola smirked. "Now, I can tell Alicia how I really feel." She fumed. "I'll go first. I hate how you lied about being fine when you were still holding the Willa incident against me!"
She smashed the glass. Tamsin arched a brow because she was lost. Nicola was staring daggers at Tamsin for some reason. They seemed to be having a silent conversation because Tamsin gasped and covered her mouth. Tamsin ended up gulping and averting her eyes. I wonder what that was about.
"I hate how you're dating someone who has wronged me." I smashed a plate.
"I hate how you allowed and encouraged your friends to bully me!" She smashed a tv.
"I hate how you always make a scene." I broke the glass.
"I hate that you use your money and status to control me!" I flinched at her comment. Did I really use my money to control her? I didn't think I did, but... "Sending an updated letter about my scholarship all because we broke up! How heartless are you?!" She smashed another object.

"Not heartless. I was angry." I was getting upset. "I hate that you're so insecure." I eyed her while smashing the mirror.
"And I hate that you're embarrassed by me." My breath hitched at seeing the tears in her eyes. "I hate that you can never publicly claim me out of shame." She looked down and began crying. "I hate that I'm not worthy of you or your family." She began shaking. "I hate that being attached to you would bring fodder to your name."
"Nic-"
"No, Alicia!" I jolted at her outburst. "I love you too much to allow you to suffer because of-" I silenced her with a kiss. Her eyes widened, but I kissed her deeper. She eventually settled into it and kissed me back. I pulled back and rested my forehead against hers.
"You're not an embarrassment to me." I sighed. "I never publicized the relationship because I didn't want the paps and tabloids hounding you. It can be a lot and I was scared that if they found out who you were...." I sniffled. "It'd strain our relationship. And then you'd leave me because you couldn't handle it anymore." A tear slid down my cheek. "I hid you because I was scared how you'd react to being in the public eye. It was selfish of me to do. I admit that, but... I've never and will never be ashamed of you." I grabbed her face. "I love you and want the world to know it."
"I wish you would've told me that." We chuckled. "I get it now. And I'll admit that I'm not too keen on that stuff." She blushed. "But, I'd like for us to talk about our feelings more. Then, we wouldn't always blow up at each other." I nodded at her suggestion.
"I'd like that too." I smiled. "I'd also like to resume our relationship." She nodded. "But take it slow." She smiled and kissed me. I pulled her into a hug.
"Well am I amazing or what?" Nicola and I rolled our eyes at Tamsin. "I should be a therapist! You're welcome!" She had a cocky smirk on her face.
Nicola and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. We couldn't really do much because if it wasn't for Tamsin, then we wouldn't have made up. We muttered a thanks to Tamsin, but she asked us to say it louder. We groaned and repeated it, but Tamsin insisted she wanted to record our appreciation. Nicola and I settled with flipping her off.
