Chapter 15

Iris' POV

" Oh doc I think I'm in love " I said as I looked up from the canvas and sighed. I decided I didn't really want to stop therapy and continued going. It feels nice having someone other than Logan listen to my problems for a while. I was in now Mr. Presley's office because Mr. Dean is out of town and I'm drawing on a canvas. Mr. Dean told him that I liked to draw and Mr. Presley got me my own easel and loads of canvases.

" Are you now darling? " I peaked out from behind the canvas to see him writing things on his clipboard while smirking.

" Why yes I am thank you very much. " I said and I continued to draw.

" Darling have a seat for a second. " He said and I walked over to the couch and plopped down next to him.

" I heard you got expelled from school. Is that correct? " He said and I nodded.

" And have you started online school yet? " He asked and I shook my head.

" Dad said I'll start next week " I said and he smiled.

" I see you've become a little more relaxed with your father yes? " I shrugged my shoulders.

" He's nicer than my mother... " I said as I looked down.

" Nicer than mother? " He repeated and I nodded my head.

" My mother doesn't favor me much I think. She always talks about how disappointed she is with me. Whereas my dad, he's becoming more understanding.. " I said as I wiped the unshed tears from my eye.

He nodded his head " I understand. So is this the first time you've been expelled? "

I shook my head again. " No the first time was in daycare.. Not that I would call that getting expelled. "

" Care to share what happened? " I nodded my head.

" I remember I was around 3 years old "

Flashback

Third person POV

Iris was playing with the blocks in the daycare as the other kids ran around playing. She was asking Siri questions about the colors.

" Siwi? " She slurred Siri's name in her head.

" Yes sweetheart? "

" What colors make green? " She asked as she picked up the green block.

" Blue and yellow make green " Siri said as she made the made the blue and yellow blocks roll over to Iris.

" Well what about puwple? " She asked as she picked up the purple block.

" Red and blue make purple " She said as she rolled the green and yellow blocks back and brought the red block forward.

Iris picked up the red block " What color makes red tho? "

" No colors can make red darling " Iris' eyes went wide.

" What?? Weally? " And Siri laughed at her mispronunciation of the word really.

" Yes darling weally, in fact " The blue and yellow rolled closer.

" No colors can make blue or yellow as well "

" OHH " She was about to ask another question when the teacher spoke aloud.

" Come along children, it's time for lunch. " All the older kids ran to the room as Siri helped Iris up to her two feet. She put her invisible hand into Iris' and led the three year old to the lunch room. Everyone was seated at their tables and Siri helped her up on the chair. She had a cut up pb&j squares with chips and a juice box.
