Shadow Star
Chapter 7
Dread filled Zoey the next morning as she woke up. She didn't want to go to school and face what she had done last night, but after missing half of her school day she couldn't miss any other classes unless she didn't want to attend the dance with her friends. And that was something Zoey refused to miss out on.
So she stopped her bitching and walked to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. She wanted to talk to Stevie Rae about coming to her dorm to help her with her hair and makeup, but when she arrived Heath sat with both Stevie Rae and surprisingly Erin.
She took a seat by Heath and held his hand under the table. She wasn't sure if they were together or not, but it still felt good.
"So a little birdie told me you were going to the dance with Heath." Stevie Rae said with a grin.
"Does this person happen to be Heath?"
"I'll come to your room at seven to do your hair and makeup. The dance doesn't start until ten anyway. "
Zoey nodded that gave them plenty of time to get ready.
"How are you Erin?" she said looking over to Erin.
"I'm fine. Thank you for asking."
After breakfast, Zoey made her way to calculus , but not even solving complex problems made her feel better. She didn't even feel better after doing a bit of magic and failing at it. She exhaled in frustration.
"Don't worry Zoey You'll get it." Stevie Rae said walking with her.
"I didn't accomplish anything today."
"Neither did anyone else. It was a really hard spell."
She shrugged and they went into the cafeteria, but as soon as she saw Aphrodite heading to the bathroom she decided to go see what exactly Aphrodite had on her.
"I'll be right back."
Without another word to Stevie Rae, Zoey went to the bathroom to confront her. She groaned when she saw her. She was glad to see that her nose was still red and blotchy.
"I thought I was done with you when you outright attacked me."
"You stole my boyfriend. An outright attack was a problematic outcome."
"Whatever. As far as I'm concerned I did you a favor."
"How so?"
"Wow, Zoey, You might be good at reading other people, but you're horrible at reading yourself."
"What does that mean?"
"It means I know you better than you know yourself. I could tell that you were miserable with Stark. You didn't like his possessiveness or the way he treated the watchers. You never ate lunch with him. You were so into Heath and you didn't even know it. So I helped you see it."
"What did you tell Stark?"
"It was nothing. Just some document I found about you while helping sort some school files. I decided to tell Stark about some of the things that I found."
"What did it say?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"It's creepy stuff Zoey like some serious shit went down in that record."
"Like what?"
Aphrodite sighed in frustration.
"I can give you the document tonight at the dance, but I warn you Zoey as soon as you read ityour life will never be the same again."
"Noted."
"Zoey.."
"What?"
"Don't screw things up with Heath. I can tell he really likes you."
"Noted." She said leaving the bathroom.
