Lark shuffled towards Dr. Neville’s office. He quite literally shuffled his feet towards the office. Why did his parents have to call in Dr. Neville? Kelly had called her son before Dr. Neville had told him that he had an appointment with him. “If you don’t go, I will cut you off,” she said. He knew what she meant. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that she meant the money. Although, he wasn’t a snobby rich boy, he had gotten comfortable to be able to use the money to spoil his friends and frankly, himself. Before he knew it, he was at Dr. Neville’s office door. There was blurry glass and the name Sean Neville spelled across the glass. What was so hard about sitting down and actually spilling your guts to a stranger?

Oh yeah, the spilling part. He wasn’t a very private person, but at the same time, he was. There were things he would’ve rather people didn’t know. He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his muscular chest. The scars on the inside of his legs tingled as if to let him know they were still there and sooner or later, he would have to tell Dr. Neville, though he would’ve rather told him to shove his crap back up his shooter. The appointment had been scheduled for eleven in the morning. His mother was truly trying to kill him.

There were several ways by which a student could find himself or herself in Sean Neville’s office. Some were sent because of teacher requests, others were sent because the psychiatrist had taken it upon himself to intervene, still others had a history of therapy appointments and needed to continue them when they transferred to Hammel, and some came of their own volition. Then there were the ones who had sessions because they were minors and their parents requested a meeting between the students and Sean.

The psychiatrist had more than his share of sessions that began with parental requests.

That was the underlying reason for his meeting with Larkein today. The boy’s mother had called him to request a meeting with her son, and in making the request, she had described a bit about her reasons. That information had gone in Larkein’s file, along with his transfer materials and transcripts.

Sean had reviewed all of that information in anticipation of the meeting. Then he had set them aside, because he didn’t like to read from a file while engaged with students. It broke the natural rhythm and was often interpreted as rude and condescending.

He sensed the boy’s presence outside of his door, and as such, he called out, “Please come in, Larkein. And close the door behind you.”

That would save them that small wait.

Lark opened the door to the office of Dr. Neville. He still couldn't believe that his mother had set him up for this. Money, it was the only thing he cared about. "After this visit, you don't have to go see him again. Ever," his mother had said on the phone. The session was only for an hour, that's how long he had to endure this. That was it. Only an hour.

"Dr. Neville," he said, as he sat down in the chair. "What exactly am I doing here? Even if my mother did request this, it doesn't mean I actually need it." Lark was being rude, but he was being rude for a reason. His mother never said he had to be civil to the doctor, all he had to do was show up. Resentment began to build itself in his chest, working through his blood stream to his heart. I seriously don't want to be here. Why did my mother even suggest this? It wasn't like she actually gave me a choice...

Sean waited for the boy to settle in; having chosen to do so near his desk ensured that the psychiatrist did not have to change locations for this meeting. The door behind them was shut to provide them with privacy; this was key, as he did not conduct sessions with the door open. It was unprofessional and broke the atmosphere of confidentiality.

“Larkein,” Sean greeted the boy with his name and a slight inclination of his head. “If you know that your mother requested this meeting, then you know why you’re here.”

Occasionally, the psychiatrist had been told that he reminded other people of the Oracle at Delphi, speaking vaguely rather than reaching the heart of the matter. This was not one of those times.

“While I do appreciate the self-assessment, when a parent informs me that he or she thinks their child could benefit from a meeting with me, I make that appointment. If, at the end of this meeting, I agree with you that you don’t need to meet with me again, then that’s the end of our association. If I disagree with you, then we’ll have to schedule another appointment.”

Sean wouldn’t lie to the boy about how this operated. Now that Larkein was in his domain, he was subject to the psychiatrist’s rules. Whatever bargain he made with his mother held no water in the mental health services department at Hammel.

“Now, would you like some water first? Or would you prefer to begin?”
