HOW ZOEY'S LIFE CHANGED
Chapter 1
Zoey wasn't feeling like going to school. O3 was tough. she really didn't want to fail her final exams. So, she glumly waited for her bus to arrive. She chewed on the egg sandwich Mom had left her. Mom had left, one night ago. Mom and Dad had been fighting like hell when Mom finally gave up and left home.
Zoey had two brothers. Her older brother, Alan, was 18 and he was very annoying. not to mention, lazy. but one thing was for sure, Alan was very protective about his sister. As for her younger brother, Percy, he was 13 and he acted so immature, which made him even more of a nuisance.
Anyway, Zoey heard the bus beeping so she quickly grabbed her bag and told Alan to hurry up and get to the bus.
"Alan!" Zoey shouted.
"What?! I'm trying to gel my hair!" He shouted back.
"Well, then hurry up! the bus driver already hates us!"
"Really?"
"JUST COME!" Zoey shouted, paranoid by her brother's laziness.
She made her way to the bus and sat next to her friend, Melissa, who, annoyingly, had a crush on Alan.
"Hey." Zoey murmured.
"'Sup? Where's Al?"
"Gelling his hair like an idiot."
"Oh, lol."
"Mel...?"
"Yeah?"
Zoey took a deep breath and said;
"Ummm, you know how Mom and Dad had been fighting...?"
"Mm-hmm?"
"Well, Mom left, last night."
"Oh-oh my God... i'm so sorry. i'm sure she'll be back."
"I know, but until then...?" Zoey whispered.
"Don't worry. i'll be there for you."
"Thanks, Mel." Zoey hugged her best friend.
Later, they reached her school, Tarragon High School. the bell rang so Zoey ran to her locker. on the way back, she bumped into someone and got her huge RayBans and books knocked to the floor. She couldn't see her glasses or books... or the guy she'd bumped into.
"Oh my God, i'm so sorry." A pleasant voice she's never heard before said. the owner of the voice handed Zoey her books and glasses.
"Oh-uh-thanks." Zoey wore her glasses and stared into the eyes of the boy, who was her age. he was absolutely gorgeous. his hair, eyes, everything was just perfect. "You're new around here, aren't you? Haven't ever seen you before."
"Yeah, i am. My name's Louis Tomlinson and i'm in 03-A, 11-A. You?"
"Same. My name's Zoey Branders." Zoey said.
"Cool. See you around." He winked and left.
The rest of the day passed by in a blur. She's occasionally run into Louis but they didn't say a word to each other. Zoey sat with Mel and her other friends, Joe and Alex in the cafeteria. Louis was already popular in his grade and it seemed as if he knew his new friends since forever. Louis was laughing and goofing around which made Zoey love him even more.
"Who're u starin' at?" Joe asked.
"Whaaa- no, nothing..." Zoey mumbled and poked her fork into her mashed potatoes.
She was absolutely speechless about Louis...
