Stone Soup for most of a year (basically since I turned 14), and reading and submitting to

A mysterious girl joins Bernadette’s group therapy sessions
“Bernadette.”
As Miss Hunt says it, her voice seems far away. I’m sitting on one of the cold, grey chairs in the small, stuffy room they put the kids in. I’ve been told that my loose, grey sweatshirt with the hood up and my baggy jeans give me a scary, mysterious vibe. And that’s the reason I wear them.
Miss Hunt’s shouting jolts me back to the present. “Bernadette! I know you may not like going to therapy, but it can help you. So please participate!”
