Chapter 3
�Molly, I�m not going to the gym with you today, I am to tired!� Zoe said rolling over in bed Thursday morning. �Oh my god, Zoe!� Molly said sitting down beside her on the bed. �What?� Zoe asked burying her head underneath her pillow.
�It�s not the...?� Molly began. �Molly! Lets face it, I�m sick okay? There�s nothing we can do to change it!� Zoe snapped. �Well Z, then you should call the doctor!� Molly said. �What good will that do Molly? Tell me?!� Zoe said lying down. �He can make you feel better, save you from this hell!� Molly said standing up. �No he can�t, you need to understand that!� Zoe said pulling the covers over her head.
=====
�Jess, I snuck out this morning to get breakfast with you, and all you can talk about is how much fun you had with Zoe yesterday!� Danielle said angrily. �If I didn�t know better I�d say you were cheating on me!� she said shooting him a glare.
�Danie, come on, that's not true!� Jesse sighed. �All you ever talk about is her! You do know that right!?!?� Danielle yelled at him. �That isn�t true! I talk about you all the time!� Jesse shouted at her. �Jesse keep your voice down!� Danielle scolded through her teeth.
�You need to understand, that I am a girl with needs to, and one of them is not having you talking about this other girl, who�s nothing but a poor girl on a scholarship!� Danielle said quietly. �Danielle, don�t you ever say that about one of my friends!� Jesse said standing up. �Jesse, please wait, I am just saying, she doesn�t fit in with the rest of us that way!� Danielle stated. �She isn�t poor though!� Jesse said. �I�m sure she isn�t but I don�t want you hanging out with her!� Danielle stated. Jesse just got up and left angrily. �Jesse!� Danielle shouted behind him, but he didn�t listen.
He was filled with rage and anger, why would Danielle be to cruel!?!? She had no reason to be what so ever! How dare she trash talk one of her dearest friends! And then expect him to be ok with it? No that was not going to happen!
=====
�125!� Molly said walking up to Zoe in P.E. it was physical day, meaning they all had to be measured and weighted and every other grueling test. �Zoe Pierson, please step up here!� a woman said, Zoe took a deep breath and stepped onto the scale.
�111� The man weighing said. Zoe got off and walked back to Molly, �One hundred eleven!� she said. �Zoe, that�s terrible!� Molly said. �Molly I have had it with this shit, can�t a girl loose some weight around here!� Zoe shouted at her. �Not when she has your condition!� Molly said. �Don�t make me fight with you!� Zoe said turning away.
=====
�I can�t believe she wanted me to just get rid of her like that! I can�t do that!� Jesse complained to Chris. �Well why not?� Chris asked. �She�s Zoe Pierson, my best friend! The one I can tell all my secrets to!� Jesse said. �Do you guys share a lot of stuff like that?� Chris asked. �We don�t keep anything from each other!� Jesse answered.
�Well in that case, I think that it would be a bad idea to lose someone as great as Zoe!� Chris stated. �I know, but me and Danielle�s relationship is like rock solid, and I don�t want to lose her either!� he said. �Well then I guess, just play it by ear, I don�t know what to tell you!� Chris said. Jesse just sighed playing with the napkin in front of him.
=====
�Zoe?� she heard Jesse�s voice say over her cell phone. �Yeah?� she asked making her way back to the dorms once she was out of class. �Do you want to come over today, we could watch a movie or something!� Jesse offered. �Can we watch Pearl Harbor?� she asked.
�Yeah� Jesse sighed rolling his eyes. �Okay I will be right there, but I�m going to have to come in my uniform, cuz if I go back to the dorms, Molly will probably stop me!� she laughed and clicked the off button.
=====
�Jesse!� Zoe called knocking on his front door. �Coming� she heard him yell lightly from inside. She sighed rolling the sleeves of her sweater down, suddenly feeling cold. �Hey Z!� he said opening the door. �Hey Jess!� she said stepping in.
=====
�Oh, she is in trouble!� Danielle growled from a patch of grass acrossed the street as she watched Zoe go into his house. �Hoe dare he!� she stated storming away angrily, feeling so hurt by his actions.
=====
�Oh I always cry when Dani dies!� Zoe said, a tear rolling down her cheek. �Yeah, I would hate it if someone really important, like you were to die! I�d probably commit suicide or something!� Jesse said. �Jesse don�t say that!� Zoe said turning to him.
Just then the phone rang, �Hello?� Jesse answered. �Hey Danielle!� he said, Zoe stood up rubbing her arms, she had been cold the whole time. �Yeah I�m alone!� Jesse said. �I�m gonna go!� she mouthed and walked over to the front door ready to leave. �Bye� he whispered. Then she smiled and gave a small wave and left.
=====
�Yeah, I�m so happy your alone!� Danielle said watching from the bushes outside a house acrossed the street. �Yeah� Jesse answered as the front door of his house opened and Zoe scampered out, like a puppy on Christmas morning
