It's been a week since I started my new school, it's honestly not as bad as i thought it'd be, and in some areas I have to admit that it is slightly better than my old school. Hanging out with Haru, Tolu, and Anne has become the highlight of my mornings, even though we're still in the "barely acquaintances" stage.. I swung my backpack on as I was leaving my room what if I get hit by a bus on my way to school i turned back then came in and out of my room 3 times but it still didn't feel right one,two ,three,four,five I went back and fourth but only on my left leg , the one , two , three , four , five. only on my right leg , I sighed knowing that I now felt safe although deep down I felt a little bit crazy, I was just about to leave through the front door when I heard my mother talking on the phone
-"You think I'm OK? I'm freaking scared! You better get your ass over here in less than a month !"
Ah, the joys of eavesdropping on family drama before breakfast. It sounds like she just hung up ,I wonder who she was talking to ,
"idiot!"
She suddenly exclaimed, her anger gets really bad at times so I took that as my que to leave, on my way to school I tried to forget everything I'd just heard but I still couldn't help but wander what that was all about.

I was putting my books away in my locker when I noticed Haru, Anne and Tolu walking towards me.
"Hey guys " I greeted them,
"Hey, so what group are you in?" Anne asked me , I looked at her slightly confused ,
"what group?" I asked,"You know... the Wednesday group sesh, " she replied, Oh... I remember her telling me about that on Monday, Apparently, we're randomly sorted into therapy groups. Brilliant, just what every teenager needs-mandatory group hugs .
"I'm in group B" I told them
"oh , you have Mrs keath , thats cool, same here" Tolu stated , perhaps he's taken a liking to me because he's been awfully nice to me lately,
"how about you Haru ?" I asked "Anne and I both in group C, " he replied,
"are you guys sure that the selection was random?" I really don't want to walk around knowing that people know that something is probably wrong with me
" to be honest I highly doubt it , they probably put us into groups based on things we might share in common like trauma,phobias or personality disorders,I don't know but I'm sure it isn't just random " tolu said shrugging,
I can almost feel the bile rising up my throat
"nope , I think it's just based on who the therapist finds interesting " Anne stated almost like she was sure , I really hope tolu isn't right or that would just be embarrassing
"i'm pretty sure it's random, if they say it's random then it's random " Haru said stroking my hair while smiling at me almost as if to reassure me was his smile that pretty yesterday?

I can die from boredom I feel my eyes water as I try to hold back a yawn , this Wednesday sesh sh*t is more boring than my uncle's funeral, I look to Tolu who is sitting right next to me ,it looks like he is writing something
"are you taking notes ?" I asked
"nah, I never listen in classes like these," he said, giving me a side eye, "we don't get grades for this class?" I asked
" we do , but only our assignments determine our grades, there are no tests or exams so technically I don't have to pay any attention to whatever unimportant crap this woman has to say " Tolu said without caring about wether or not she heard him
, I took my eyes off Tolu to look around the hall , we are all sitting in a circle and mrs kieth Is standing in the middle, half of the class seem to be actively participating while to other half are completely zoned out ,im firmly in the i'd-rather-be-anywhere-else camp, I don't even know what she's talking about
"so, I'm going to need yall to put yourselves into groups of two's for your first group assignments for this term" mrs Keath announced interrupting my rant on boredom "want to group?" Tolu asked me to which I nodded yes
"your assignment is to conduct a research on what a perfect family looks like in this generation and give a real life example,I hope you all try your best and make sure to submit on the 28th , thank you and have a good day" and with that the boring ass class was over , I thought Tolu would be relieved to finally be free but he looks rather empty ,I was about to question it but I really don't like meddling in things that don't concern me . We met up with Haru and Anne by my locker and they both looked like they just had their souls sucked out of them "hey what going on with Tolu?" Anne asked me.She seemed genuinely worried,it almost reminds me of a worried little girl I once knew

"I don't know, he was fine just a second ago " I answered
"do you want to come over today,"Haru asked Tolu
"nah I have work "Tolu said as he walk away without saying anything else
"what's got his panties in a twist " I said to no one is particular
"he doesn't wear panties " Haru said lighteningmy mood a little bit ,I was about to say something to explain what I meant but I got a call from my chauffer telling me that he was in the parking lot, I waved goodbye to Anne and Haru as I got into my car , I'm so glad that this boring day came to an end but I still can help but wander what does a perfect family look like
