Jessie is trying to rise above, but it's not easy!

BUY NOW: http://www.books2read.com/ACHE03

[ID: A orange background with the title CRAMPING CHRONICLES: THE THIRD ACHE at the top and out now in ebook & paperback just above the title The except reads:

Of course, I wasn't sure if Tyra was actually hurting because of a medical condition. Maybe she got into a fight and wanted to hide that from her parents. Maybe she'd had a fall or something. I wasn't a doctor, I couldn't diagnose her. Yes, I could feel that the pain wasn't fake, but I didn't know the actual cause.
On top of that, there was a part of me that thought: fuck it. She'd threatened me. She'd gone out of her way to attack me. She'd knowingly hurt me. This wasn't like with Meera, who had been a bit of a bitch when we first met. This was active bullying.

The issue of Tyra is gonna have to take a back seat...

“No, it's fine,” I said, shaking my head again. “I should get to class, I don’t wanna be late there too.”
Craig took hold of my chair, Meera watching me with concern, as we both left our tutor room and headed off to our Maths class. I didn’t want to talk about Tyra just yet. There would come a time when I’d have to tell my friends, but until then I’d put it off.
After all, it didn’t feel like the problem was going anywhere.

I knew my mistake before I turned to see who I'd rolled over. I could feel her pain radiating through me. Sure enough, Tyra was there, face like thunder, eyes showing both the anger and the twinge of pain. If anything, my whole body hurt more than it had yesterday.
She was stood with Cassie and Lynn. Just my luck they were all in the same tutor group. Tyra grabbed hold of my chair, and spun me around, leaning over me and putting her hands on my arms, making the same impressions she had the day before. I won't lie, it bloody hurt, but I kept my pain to myself, or at least tried to.
“You did that on purpose,” she spat, eyes locked on mine. “You wanna know actual pain, snowflake?”

“You're triggered?” she said, loudly enough that it felt like she'd shouted it across the quiet room.
She snorted a laugh. I was hoping she'd leave it at that, but she'd drawn the attention of Tyra and Cassie, who came to join her.
“Did you say she's triggered?” Tyra said in a faux whisper.
My cheeks burned, and I wanted to just crawl under the table. The last thing I wanted was to draw attention to myself, but as they all stood there staring at Meera and me, my pain spiked and my arms felt like they were burning.

I didn't think I'd done anything to begin with. But as I let out another long, slow breath, my hand on the doll started to burn a little. Not painful, just feeling hot and a light buzz in the tips of my fingers. I gasped as I felt it there just out of reach, and just as quickly as it appeared, it slipped away. I tried to keep hold of it, but either Meera's headache was too low on the radar, or I needed to work on grasping hold of the buzz and pain.

“So how does it work?” Meera asked, her voice soft.
Her green eyes were filled with pain, they’d have clued me in even if I hadn't been able to pick up on it myself.
“I don't know the science behind it,” I said. “If there even is any science behind it. Lucas didn't exactly go into a lot of detail. But I did some research on the forum, and they said physical is harder than emotional.” I swallowed down the lump in my throat as my eyes began to water from the intensity of her migraine. “So, I have to keep the doll in my hands, have to keep the sand on my body, and I have to focus on what is my pain and what is yours,” I said, trying to sound like I knew what I was doing.

"Watch me with your headache,” he said.
I watched him, a little sceptical, to be honest. It sounded very much like new age woo, and although I didn't think he was selling me a story, it just didn't sound like something anyone could do. But I watched anyway, because it wasn't like I had anything else I could try.
He kept his eyes on me as his thumb rubbed small circles over the doll's head. I half expected him to start chanting a strange poem or something, but as I watched, I saw a small circle of light on the doll's forehead.
“What was that?!” I asked, pushing my chair forward.

Lucas smiled as he saw the inscription on the bracelet. “It’s pretty nice that you have some of what you need. I take it you've not really interacted with anyone else in the community? And you still wish for your parents not to be told?”
I nodded. “I've seen the forum, but beyond Mia Dale, who you might know died, I’ve not managed to talk to anyone else. And no, I don't want my parents to know, not yet. I figure I'll have to tell them at some point, but it kinda feels like asking for trouble right now.”
Lucas watched me with careful eyes. “You do realise that it will make things harder for your lessons? I've never worked with someone whose parents weren't also on board. I take it they're not home right now?”

My thoughts, as usual these days, were on Lucas. Would he be able to answer all the questions I had? Would he even stick to his promise of keeping my parents out of it? Was that a bad thing? Like his agreement, was it pointing to something untoward? Most tutors wouldn't keep secrets from the people paying them, right? It wasn't like with a therapist where everything stayed confidential unless I was going to hurt myself or someone else, or I was in danger. Tutors didn't have that kind of agreement. So should I be worried that he'd agreed so readily?

“You worried about Lucas still?” Meera asked. “I mean, I know you don't know what he's going to do, but it's gotta be a good thing, right?”
“Actually, I was more thinking about the homework for French. I may have forgotten to get much of it done before class this afternoon. I'm gonna be spending my lunch rushing over that,” I said.
Roe called over to us and we both went to pay with our thumbprints before all of us headed back to the table. Food was passed out, and a somewhat comfortable silence descended as we ate.
“You know it's only a practice oral, right?” Meera said as she finished eating.
“I know,” I said, pausing between bites. “But generally speaking, you need something prepared before you do the practice oral.”
