Chapter 16-New friends

Zoey arrived at school earlier. She had to find Jessie whom had being acting faulty lately. She looked around the school and saw Jessie standing near the entrance with Mia and Mia's group.

Zoey snuck over to hear what they were talking about. She hid behind a classroom.

"So where are we bunking?" Jessie asked Mia.

"My friend Hitachi said we can go to his house. I gave him the money to get the drinks for us. As soon as the bell rings we should leave and wait for him at the tuck shop."

She saw Chad joining them a few minutes later. Zoey left to go by her locker. How could Jessie do that? Those are people that she just met a few days ag0o and she is already friends with them? What the hell am I going to do? I have to stop her.

Zoey took out her phone and dialed Jessie's number. She heard Jessie answer.

"Hey Jessie. We need to talk. This can't wait. Meet me by my locker now." She hung up and waited for Jessie to show up. I have to convince her not to go. If she goes she might get caught. Her parents will kill her.

Jessie finally showed up snapping Zoey out of her thoughts. "What do want Zoey?" Jessie asked, not bothering to cover up the irritation in her voice.

'Don't go Jessica." Zoey called her by her full name.

"What?" Jessie asked confused.

"I know about you going to bunk with Mia and her gang. Don't do it Jessica. You know you are going to get caught and when your parents find out how upset they are going to be."

"Zoey, please don't rat me out." Jessica begged.

"I won't rat you out," Zoey muttered. "Only if you don't go. I'm giving you a choice. You either listen to me your best friend or you can go after people whom you only known for a couple days. If you choose them, don't come running crying back to me when your'll get caught." Zoey folded her hands over her chest and tapped her left foot waiting for Jessica's answer.

"You know what Zoey?" Jessica responded. "I'm sick and tired of you trying to be the boss of me. I can do as I please. And I'm not going to get caught." She turned around to leave but stopped. "Why don't you come with me Zoey? It will loosen you up."

Zoey froze. Should I go? What am I thinking? I can't go.

Bulma, Chichi and 18 were listening to the conversation between Zoey and 18. They could not let Zoey go with Mia. She does not know what type of trouble they get up to. They had to step in.

"No." 18 said. "You are not dragging Zoey down with you. After all the things you told her do you honestly think she will go with you?"

Zoey felt 18 was right. "She got a mouth 18. Don't you think she can speak for herself?" Jessica turned around and came face-to-face to Zoey. "Tell me now Zoey. Do you want to listen to her or come with me?"

"You made your choice Jessica. Now I will make mine. Your choice was to run behind Mia like a lost dog. My choice is to stay behind." Zoey went forward till she was face-to-face with Jessica. She slapped her across her face. Everyone in the hall froze. They stood there in shock.

Is that not her best friend? Why would she do that? Everyone knew for Zoey to resort to violence something bad must have happened.

Jessica stood there in shock. Damn she can hit hard. Her hand holding the cheek that Zoey hit. "Go." Zoey said although it came out more of a command. "Go now Jessica. Go run after her like the lost dog you are. Oh wait, I should not be calling you a dog. The difference between a dog and you are the dogs are loyal were as you are not."

Jessica was angry. How dare Zoey hit her like that? Just as she was about to strike back at Zoey a hand grabbed her. It was Mia. "Come on Jess. Hitachi is waiting." Mia told her. She gave Zoey one last glare and disappeared with Mia.

"Thanks 18." Zoey said. "I can't believe her."

Chichi swept her into a comfort hug. "You got us here for you. Don't forget that."

"Thanks guys."

The bell rung. Bulma and Zoey left for maths while 18 and Chichi went to their classes.

" , please report to the office. Thank you." Bulma and Zoey were sitting in maths when they heard the announcement.

"Please do the the assessment on page 15 and 16. I will be back in a few minutes."

Everyone started talking about their own things. Vegeta and Bulma started arguing. Zoey turned around and was talking with a girl named Emily.

Few minutes later came back. Everyone turned around and went silent.

"I have just received news that a couple students were bunking and are currently suspended for two weeks. If anyone sees them at school tell a teacher. Also, their parents have been informed." informed her students.

Zoey and Bulma instantly knew it was Mia's gang along with Jessica. She deserves it. I am not going to feel sorry for her. And no one ratted her out.

"Karma screwed her up." Bulma said as she high fived Zoey.

"So true." Zoey agreed. "I can't wait for 18's party. I need a couple drinks."

"True that. And I got Vegeta to make sure I don't get completely wasted." Bulma said, causing Zoey to laugh.
