All the boys sat in their chairs while the ladies filed in. Many of them looked his way, some whispering about how cute he was. He ignored them; petty chit chat about the attractiveness of another person was something that got on his nerves. But then he spotted her walking in. She had long, red hair with little white flakes in it, and rosy cheeks. She was so stunning to him. She sat next to a girl with a purple and white streaked ponytail who seemed to be talking to a pickle, and another girl with long blue hair who was putting hand sanitizer on her hands every ten seconds. Another female entered the room, she was smiling and playing with her cotton candy colored pink curls as she sat in her spot next to the hand sanitizer girl. It seemed everyone was there, but counselor Lumpy seemed to be impatiently watching the door to the room, and there was still an empty chair. Finally, the door swung open, and a pale girl with waist length black and blue hair stormed in, her ice blue eyes landed straight on Flippy before she sat down. He felt strange vibes from her, almost like she was peering into his very soul. Lumpy exhaled and looked at the girl, who stared daggers at the young counselor.

"Orchid, you're late again." He said, raising his eyebrow at the teen. She rolled her eyes and folded her white hands in her lap. She said in a sickly sweet voice,

"I'm ever so sorry Mr. Lumpy, I assure you...it won't happen again." Lumpy shook his head and blew off the sarcastic remarks from the girl and started his session.

"Well everyone, today is a special day! Can anyone tell me why today is special?" Naturally, Sniffles was the first to speak up.

"I am going to assume it's because we have a new member of the community." Lumpy smiled at him, clapping his hands together.

"Exactly!" He said, he cleared his throat before continuing. "Everyone, this is Flippy, our newest resident! Flippy, the goal of our therapy sessions are to come to grips with our issues by speaking about them out loud. You won't be judged here, everyone on this campus, teachers and counselors included, have had some sort of help at one point in our lives. Now, you don't need to go into detail with what it is that has brought you here, but, how about you give the group a little introduction?" Flippy shyly looked at all the faces staring at him and swallowed before speaking.

"Well..." He began. He hated speaking in front of people, "I really don't know what to say. I was framed for a crime I did not commit." The dark girl, Orchid, scoffed at his comments and said harshly,

"Must have been a pretty terrible crime, seeing as you were hauled here in handcuffs." Lumpy gave her a stern look, which she replied to with a shrug of her shoulders. "It's true. There's no point in being in denial here, Flippy. Sooner or later we will find out what you did. They don't send just anyone here; they have to have serious, hard up evidence that you are in fact, disturbed. If they sent just any psycho here, don't you think there would be more people? You might as well just fess up now, we're all dying to hear your story." Flippy didn't like the way she challenged him, putting emphasis on the word dying. He stared straight into her eyes, and that's when he heard it. That voice in his head, the one that told him to do terrible things.

Just tell the dumb bitch your crime, you cold hearted killer. Flippy subtly shook his head, not breaking eye contact with the strange woman.

"Supposedly I murdered my step father." After he spoke those words, he could feel the tension in the air. Orchid gave him a dark smile. Lifty and Shifty glanced at each other sideways, as did Splendid and Splendont. He noticed the red head begin shaking, and the purple haired girl squeezed her pickle in her hands. Flippy closed his eyes and looked down, mumbling more to himself than to anyone else,

"I blacked out. The last thing i remember is being led out of my house by the police." Lumpy put a sympathetic hand on his shoulder and addressed the rest of the teens.

"Now, you all remember how hard it was for some of you to come clean with your problems as well. Let's be as welcoming to Flippy as we possibly can." He gave Orchid an angry look as he was saying the last part. "Now, introductions. Since you feel so up to talking, miss Orchid, you can begin." She smiled, showing teeth as white as her skin, and stared straight into Flippy's eyes as she spoke.

"As I'm sure you've heard, my name is Orchid. I've been here for six months now, and because, like you, I too am a violent psychopath. There's only two differences between myself and you. First off, I didn't kill anyone...but when I was finished with my victims," she put such emphasis on this word it made even Flippy shudder, "they were begging for death. That...and I'm proud of what I've done, not some scared child trapped inside a teenagers body." She snapped her lips shut, staring at Lumpy as if waiting for him to speak. When he didn't. she turned her attention to the girl next to her. "You go next." The pink haired girl looked at Orchid, then turned her soft gaze to Flippy.

"Well...my name is Giggles. I've been here for a year now, and my reason is I watched my stepfather abuse my mother and she ran away...leaving me alone with him. He turned his abuse to me and now I have horrid hallucinations of everyone around me being hurt...and injuring myself as well." She gave him a friendly smile, as if she just asked him how the weather was. She looked at the hand sanitizer girl, who promptly began to introduce herself.

"My name is Petunia. I've been here for almost a year now. There's not much to say about me except that I have such a severe phobia of germs that before coming here I refused to leave my house." The next girl to speak up was the pickle girl.

"My name is Lammy, and this is Mr. Pickles!" She laughed to herself, rubbing the pickle in her hand. "I've been here for two years now, and I apparently see things that other people don't see." Orchid laughed again, speaking over the group.

"She's a Schitzo, if you didn't already catch that." Flippy eyeballed her once again, but his attention went to the beautiful redhead as she began to speak.

"My name is Flaky..." She stopped speaking and looked around, as if afraid to speak. "I've been here for two and a half months..." She stopped again, nervously rubbing her arms. When she noticed Flippy's dazed stare, she seemed to get even more nervous. "I...I've got severe anxiety." She gave him a shy smile before looking into her lap. Just as she was finishing, a timer went off, signaling the end of their therapy session. Lumpy clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention.

"This was a great start! Now, since you'll be spending alot of time with the other boys Flippy, you will get to know them on your own. Ladies, great job on the introductions, specially you Flaky, I'm very proud of you! Dinner will be at six thirty in the wreck hall, you are free to do as you please until then!" With that being said, Lumpy exited the building and propped open the door, a signal for everyone to leave. Flippy exhaled; he survived his first session. He did know he wanted to stay away from Orchid, she made him feel very uncomfortable, as if she knew he could hear voices in his head. As he stood up and walked out the door, Splendid walked up to him, followed by Giggles and Cuddles, who were holding hands. Splendid gave Flippy a sympathetic look and said,

"I know it's hard at first, but don't sweat it. You're always welcome to hang out with me. Also, ignore Orchid. She's a complete psycho." Just as he said this, the crazy girl approached the group, startling Giggles and Cuddles.

"It's nice to have another truly insane person here. I think we'll be great friends." Flippy just shook his head.

"I'm not insane, I black out. That's all there is to it." She flipped her hair in his face as she began to walk away.

"No, my dear Flippy. I'm pretty positive there is more to you than just black outs...I'm sure...there's something hidden there that even you don't know about yet...and you're afraid. The thirst for blood is a powerful one, and the longer you fight it...the harder it is to overcome." She disappeared into the girls dorm, leaving the four teens dazed and confused.

Damn...that girl knows her stuff. I think I just might pay her a visit sometime...and show her what crazy really is! The haunting voice said inside Flippy's head. He hated to admit it...but she was right.
