Chapter 6

When Zoey woke up, she was shocked to find herself under her covers. She shook it off and got off the bed.

In the doorway of her dorm, there was an outfit and a note. She picked up the outfit and note and carried them to the bed and sat down. The uniform was a mini-skirt and tank-top and boots as well as a pair of gloves- all either red or white. Zoey grimaced- there was no way she was going to be able to hide her bruises in this.

Then, she came up with a brilliant idea! She had some blush and other make-up that could cover up her bruises! She could do that until they all had healed. So, ten minutes later she was in her uniform, song playing on her CD player, singing along to the song crying at the sadness of it, and had placed the last bit of cover up on when she saw something in the bottom of her suitcase- a picture and realized what song she had been listening to.

Not just any picture- no. This was a way different picture. It was a picture of…

A few hours later, school was out for the day, and Zoey slipped out headed for the cliffs away from the Slifer Dorm. She didn't want Jaden or anybody to hear her- for sure.

"I can honestly say, you've been on my mind," She sighed, hands in her jacket pockets, walking along the dirt path. "Since I woke up today. I look at your photograph all the time. These memories come back to life and I don't mind."

"I remember when we kissed," She said, placing a hand near her mouth, "I still feel it on my lips. The time that you danced with me with no music playing! I remember the simple things; I remember till I cry. But the one thing I wish I'd forget- The memory I wanna forget! Is goodbye…" The last part she whispered, almost ashamed as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"I woke up this morning," Zoey cried, hurrying along the dirt path. "And played our song. And through my tears I sang along. I picked up the phone and then put it down. 'Cause I know I'm wasting my time and I don't mind!"

"I remember when we kissed," Zoey repeated. "I still feel it on my lips. The time that you danced with me, with no music playing! I remember the simple things- I remember till I cry. But the one thing I wish I'd forget- The memory I wanna forget!" Zoey heaved a dry sob, breaking through the trees to the cliff where she had been headed. Before she could do anything, her cell-phone started ringing. She looked at the number- it read UNKNOWN but Zoey knew exactly who it was.

"Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up," She murmured, "With your ringtone. I hesitate but answer it anyway," She answered her phone, listening for a few minutes, before she couldn't take it anymore, and hung up on the person.

"You sound so alone!" She cried, meandering to the edge of the cliff. "And I'm surprised to hear you say:" Zoey hesitated for a moment whilst she hiccupped.

"You remember when we kissed," She said almost desperately. "You still feel it on your lips. The time that you danced with me, with no music playing! You remember the simple things- We talked till we cried! You said that your biggest regret- The one thing you wish I'd forget!" Zoey paused yet again while she hiccupped, and seemed almost frightened as she said the last six words.

"Is saying goodbye," She finally said. "Saying goodbye! Goodbye…" She sighed, and sat down on the edge of the cliff, and stayed there, sitting, thinking, crying until the sunset blossomed over the island.

"Just who are you, Zoey?" Jaden muttered to himself, watching her dash to the woods right after school. He was tempted to follow her, then decided not. It's her life- she can do whatever she wants. He won't be accused of stalking just because he was curious. As the blunette disappeared within the green, he just shook his head and headed off to the dorm.

She may not be willing to tell the truth, but he knew that she'd come around, sooner or later.

Jaden hoped it was sooner.

It had been about two weeks since her coming to Duel Academy, and Zoey was already bored out of her mind. She did love dueling, it's just that she enjoyed singing just as much.

So, that's how she ended upside down on the couch in the Slifer common room… I think.

She was positioned upside down, a notebook in front of her on the table and a pencil eraser hanging from her mouth. She was writing songs, but couldn't seem to finish any of them! Albeit, she had two done, almost three, but still! She needed something a bit more on edge. Something their fans wouldn't see coming from the seemingly innocent band.

Bored, and out of ideas, Zoey threw in a DVD of one of the random concerts she had recorded. She didn't know which one it was, or if it was even one of their own, but she didn't care. She needed some ideas.

As the concert started up, she watched bored as a familiar looking person performed on stage. She recognized that person from somewhere, but she just couldn't place. Ah well, it would come to her in time.

Then, a part of the concert acquired her attention.

"You know what's most depressing about this month though?" The girl asked her audience. Various replies were called. "I just broke up with my boyfriend! And, you know why this really vexed me?" "No's" echoed through the hall as Zoey flipped upside right.

"Because, that guy cheated on me!" She sounded scandalized. There were gasps. "And, I definitely don't take any guff from cheaters! So, you know what?" "What?" Echoed through the TV.

"I hope he loves her, because he definitely ain't getting any sympathy from me if he gets dumped again!" She roared, laughter in her eyes just before she launched into her song.

"Cheater, Cheater where'd you meet her? Down at Ernie's Bar." The girl sang sassily. "Did she smile your way, twirl her hair and say, how cute your dimples are?" This got the wheels in Zoey's mind cranking.

"Did she use that line 'your place or mine' while you danced with her real slow?" The girl seemed to ask. "Tell me cheater, cheater where'd you meet that no good white-trash ho?" Zoey started laughing. That was just too funny! Yet, it caused her train of thought to stop and lose what she had just thought of.

"Liar, liar, did you buy her whiskey all night long?"She sang, an angry look on her face. "Did you hide your ring in the pocket of your jeans, or did you just leave it on?" Zoey's wheels started turning again, in full throttle. She was determined not to lose this train of thought again.

"When the deed and you had your fun did you think I wouldn't know?" She asked the audience. "Tell me cheater, cheater, where'd you meet that no good white-trash ho?!" Zoey ignored the line, writing furiously, still keeping an ear on the song.

"Now I'm not one to judge someone that I ain't never met," The girl said honestly. "But to lay your hands on a taken man, well that's as low as a gal can get!" Suddenly the girl singing got an amused look on her face.

"Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so!" She sang amusedly. "Cheater, cheater where'd you meet that no good white-trash ho?!" Zoey continued writing furiously, determined to finish her song as the girl singing was given a fiddle and performed a solo that got the crowd screaming.

"Loser, loser hope you love her cause you're stuck with her now." She said after the solo. "Take you sorry butt, load up all your stuff and get the hell out of my house! But, I wish you'd tell me this one thing before I go!" The girl paused as if it was a great surprise what she was about to say.

"Tell me cheater, cheater, where'd you meet that no good white-trash ho?!" She roared with laughter in her voice. "Now I'm not one to judge someone that I ain't never met, but to lay your hands on a taken man's bout as low as a gal can get! Hey I wish her well and she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so! Cheater, cheater where'd you meet that no good white trash ho?" The girl smirked as she finished her song, Zoey curious about what was about to be said.

"Yeah I wish you tell me this one thing before you go," She sang mischievously. "Tell me cheater, cheater where'd you meet that low down uptown, slept with every guy around, pressed on eyelash, no good white trash ho!" Zoey fell off of the couch, laughing hysterically, not minding the bruises she was hurting herself even more with.

"Oh, that's rich!" She laughed. "That's really rich!" She laughed, before she wiped her eyes and finished her song, ignoring the rest of the concert.

Zoey tried fruitlessly to finish two of her other songs, and got halfway done with them both before she fell asleep, on her knees, head buried in her arms on the table.

It was a good thing it was Friday.
