Lunch in 6th? (Post 16)
“So what would you do if you ever met a vampire.”
“Hum. Perhaps ask it if it had ever read any of the novels, and see what it thought of them. What about you…” Fai asked without turning around. “Any thing you would want to do if you met a vampire?”
Zoie looked right into Fai’s eyes and said, “I would take it out to a stake dinner.” She waited a moment and then giggled quietly.
“Common,” Zoie nudged Fai with her elbow “its not like they really exist.”
Fai just scooted his chair over a bit and stuck his nose back in his book washing away the bad joke with bad writeing.
Studie hall went by quickly, Zoie got little work done but did get alot of daily gosip out of the way. Studie hall was a perfect choice for last period, all the rumors where ripe and ready for telling by that time. The biggest rumor going round was of the girl who had the gawl to ask out Edmond and totally biffed getting what she deserved.
The bell rang and Zoie turned to the chair next to her that she’d been ignoring the whole time. “Ready Fai?”
Fai glanced up over his book and rolled his eyes. “Do I have a choice?”
“No.” Zoie grabbed Fai’s arm and pushed him to the door where 30 people were all trying to exit at once.
It wasn’t long before Asher came jogging over, his messy hair wet and in his face from showering in gym. “Sup Guys!”
Zoie smiled, “I gotta meet up with Ashley, if you need help call and I’ll try to get away.” She nodded to Fai and walked off to the stairs to meet her group.
The Girl Code (Post 13)
One of Zoies friends had hunted down Ashley and texted them the location, so they walked back to school behind the gym.
When Zoie and her friends arived Ashley was slumped over her knees sobing into her blue jeans. Amanda, Ashley’s best friend, was rubbing her back looking worried trying to calm her down.
Zoie was never good at cheering people up, that was Asher’s job. They went to the same elementary school and she was always getting into fights and therefor getting into trouble. He was the one who always cheered her up after the teacher punished her. What would he do in a situation like this? Knowning him it involved food, especialy sweets. That was it!
Zoie kneeled down so she was level with Ashley, she brushed Ashley’s muddy bangs asside to reveal a swolen tear streaked red face. “Ashley, forget about that boy he wasn’t good enough for you anywyas, lets all go shopping and get some icecream after school just us girls, ok?”
Ashley sniffled loudly and nodded her head.
Though if Zoie thought about it that guy was pretty cute, hot even, no wonder Ashley was takin by him. But weither he was cute or not, Ashley had already claimed him and it was her job to help see that threw. Hardening her reserve she helped Ashley to her feet and they all walked the 4th peiorod together, consoling Ashley the whole way.
Tater Tot Bombs (Post 10)
Ashley fidgited glanced back at her friends, they all made shooing motions for her to do it. She took a step forward which must have cought Edmond’s Attention. When his pircing green eyes met her muddy brown ones she froze in fear and blushed from her toes to her ears.
“I….I….uh…” Ashley looked around her for anything to talk about. She looked down at her feet only her carboard boat of tater tots blocked her view.
“Tots…I don’t want my tots a..and I thought you might want them, if you don’t I’m just going to throw them away anyways.”
Ashley put the tater tots on the table quickly making a couple bounce out and tumble to the floor.
“OH! Sorry! I’m so stupid!” Ashley picked up the tatertots from the floor and put them back in the cardboard boat.
“Those…” Edmond started.
“OH SHIT!” Ashley realised what she’d done and grabed it back. Her hand hit the side of the tray and tater tots scattered everywhere including on Edmond, leaveing shiney grease tracks wherever they landed on his cloths.
Ashley couldn’t take it anymore and bloted, not even stopping when her friends yelled out for her.
Blooming Friendships or Booming Hardships? (Post 8)
Zoie’s dyedpink hair was parted in curly pig tails revealing blond roots grown in, black kohl coated violet eyes sparkled as she laughed with her friends. She popped another fry with extra salt, the only thing she ever ate for lunch, into her mouth.
One of her friends, the one with short cropped brown hair and dull eyes squealed excitedly.
“What are you squealing about Ashley?” Rondell, another friend asked covering one ear.
“It’s HIM” Ashley pointed.
The whole table turned to fallow her finger to see a short messy haired boy with geeky glasses. Everyone stared at Ashley as if she had gone crazy.
“Not HIM, the one sitting down.”
Again the whole table turned to find the person she was squealing over. And there he was sitting at a table behind the guy with glasses, the boy Ashley had been obsessing over since that morning. They had found out his name was Edmond after a little detective work for her.
Maranda nudged Ashley “Go over and talk to him!” Ashley blushed and shook her head no.
“How could I? He’s so hot, and I’m so….not.” Zoie started to nod at this when Rondell kicked her under the table.
“You’re totally hot Ashley, you should go and ask if you can eat with him.” Zoie managed to say half cringing and rubbing her leg.
Ashley blushed harder, “O..ok I’ll go ask him.”
“Really?!” Zoie blurted out earning her another kick to the shin.
Ashley Picked up her tots and walked over to Edmond. Zoie and the rest of the girls watching her in amazement.
That’s when Zoie noticed a person who was sitting behind her loudly talking about ‘Sycamore Hypothesis’ a local band.
“ASHER!” Zoie jumped up and hugged Asher from behind. “I didn’t think you where going to make it to the first day of school!”
Asher stopped mid rant and strained his neck to see who was hanging on him.
“Zoie! Of course I made it to school, I even got her by 3rd period.”
Zoie giggled and sat down next to Asher already forgetting Ashley’s plight “I finally get to be in school with you again, it feels good to be a high schooler.” Zoie smiled and flicked her head in Fai’s direction “Who’s your new friend?”
Asher smiled at her “This is …uh….OH DUDE you never told me your name!”
Zoie giggled, “That’s just like you Asher,” she glanced over at the other boy “I’m Zoie nice to meet you, it’s good to see Asher can make friends.”
