1.chapter

Well, you know how all stories begin.
Once upon a time there was a girl who had everything she could ever want. She was beautiful and she had family to support her in everything. Everything in her life was perfect. And she lived happily ever after.
Well, this story is slightly different.
My name is Zoe. I live in California with my mom and older sister Allison. We are one big happy familly. -.-'' If you are wondering why I didn´t mention my father, I´ll tell you why. When I was 3 years old he left my mom because „she didn´t pay many attention to him“ or something like that. But what can I do? I was hurt for some time, but after 13 years I don´t care anymore. Now I´m 16 years old.
Where was I? Oh, yeah, me. This is how my ordinary day looks like:
6:00 AM. Must...get...up...
I got up (after half an hour), brushed my teeth, put on jeans and my favorite, RED shirt *.* and went to school. First my bus was late, then I had to walk to school. :S Ofc, I was late. In front of the classroom, just when I want to come in, someone opened the door and SLAM!!! I hit my head into the doors.
Xxx: Are you ok? You bumped hard.
Zoe: Ummm, yes. I think. I´m used to that. It´s not the first time.
Xxx: hahh, ok then. As long as you´re ok.
Did he just winked me? Yes he did He got up and offered his hand and helped me to got up. He´s cute. He has light brown hair, warm brown eyes and beautiful smile.
Zoe: Thanx! Are you new here? I have never seen you before.
Xxx: Maybe you have seen me.
Zoe: I think I would remember YOUR face... ok, wait, that didn´t sound good.
Xxx: ohhh, good to know. And I am new. I´m Matthew Hayden. And you are..?
Zoe: I´m Zoe.
Matt: Zoe...?
Zoe: For you? Just Zoe Hey, can you borrow me your phone, I can´t find mine, I´ve lost it when you hit me. It just has to ring so I can find it.
Matt: this? Sorry I can´t.
Zoe: Why?
Matt: because if I give you my phone, you will call your phone, and then you will save my number and you will call me late at night and stalk me. So, I can´t
Zoe: you have some theory worked up there. And... why would you think that I will call you?
Matt: ´cause everybody does.
Zoe: you think you´re that charming, don´t you?
Matt: a little bit, yes.
Zoe: well you... you know what, I´ll find it myself.
Matt: wait, I was kidding. Tell me number, I will call.
Zoe(took his phone out of his hands): no, I will. Because then you would call me at night.
Phone ringed and she found it.
Zoe: here you go. Wait, erase number, ok. Now here you go. Bye!!
Matt: you know that school is still lasting?
Zoe: yes. Whats your point? Oh, shit, school. Lets go to class.
They went to classroom (half an hour late)
Prof. Adams : Hayden, Dallaway you´re late. And Hayden, I let you to go to the bathroom, not to chat. Come to detention tomorow.
Matt: It´s my fault, sorry. She was comming in and I hit her with doors. I promise it won´t happen again.
Prof. Adams: ok then. You´re saved. For now. Sit somewhere and be quiet.
Zoe: at least you put your charm to use. You are lucky that she is female. And, btw, tnx for that.
Matt: so you do admit that I´m charming?
Zoe: no.... I didn´t said that.
Matt: ok, Dallaway
Zoe: oh, shut up!
Other classes weren´t interesting. Like always.

2. chapter

Zoe got home from school. Nobody was home. She cleaned her room and lie down and started daydreaming about this day and about all that happened. And ofc, then about Matt.
Zoe: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!! Why am I so complicated??!! And where is my sister when I need her?
Then, her phone buzzed. A message:
Hey, I want to ask you something, can you meet me at 8.00 at the Starbucks?
XXX
She didn´t know who was it, but she went anyway. When she got there she saw Matt and she couldn´t stop smiling.
Zoe: hey, did you sent me message?
Matt: yes, I wanted to ask you something.
Zoe: ok, what? Wait, how did you get my number?
Matt: I googled you. Or Facebooked you, I don´t know what...
Zoe: ok, I get it. Go on...
Matt(struggling) : I wanted... to ask you... would you...I mean...
Zoe: what? Speak already!
Matt: would you... give me Mary´s number
Zoe(suprised, but in a negative way): ummm... yes, I guess
Matt: tnx, I´ve gotta go. Bye!
Zoe was sad. She ran home as fast as she could. She stopped at some bench, sat, covered her face and started crying.
Zoe: what´s wrong with me? Why I fall in love with some guy who is in love with somebody else?
Next few weeks she didn´t talk to anyone but her best friend Kyra. She knew everything and was there always for Zoe.
Zoe: you know what, i´m over Matt, he can do what ever he wants, I don´t care anymore. Let´s go shopping, i can´t be home anymore.
They went to many stores and spent 2000 $. Zoe bought beautiful red dress and black shoes, and Kyra bought that same dress, but black. Everything was good, untill Matt started sending messages to Zoe. She wanted to respond, but she didn´t. She loved him, but didn´t wanted to admit. Pride was bigger. So she read his messages and than deleted them.
One day she went to the store, and while she was crossing the road she saw Mary and Matt together and she just stared. A car was getting closer, but she didn´t saw it. She was blinded by a lights. A car hit her.
She was unconscious for two days, she heard everything, but couldn´t open her eyes and say something. She heard her mom and sister crying and asking the doctor will she make it. She heard Kyra talking about school an she was telling jokes. „hahhah, at least someone knows what I like. I love Kyra for that. Thats why she´s my best friend.
Whats what noise? It wasn´t mom, Allison or Kyra. Who was that?“
Hey, I can´t be here for long. I know you can´t hear me. Thats why I can say this: when I asked for you to come to Starbucks, I wanted...t..as...ou..wil..“ whats that? I can´t hear him anymore, I´m feeling...
after a while, Zoe woke up.
Zoe: wh... where is Matt?
Doctor: you´re friend went home. Do you want me to call him?
Zoe: thanks, but no. Can you tell me how long must I stay in hospital?
Doctor: well, since car hit you very hard, you´re lucky that you have only a mild concussion, a fiew cuts and bruises, so you have to stay another week, just to be sure
Zoe: thank you, doctor.
„Next week, everyone came to visit me, everyone but the one I wanted to come“
Zoe: finally, home! Off to Facebook. Finally! and look who is online
Matt: hey, how are you?
Zoe: good, I told you already, this kind of things happen to me all the time
Matt: hahahh, yes, I have noticed that
Zoe: soo... what was happening in school last week?
Matt: nothing special.
Zoe: like always -.-
Matt: oh, wait, I almost forgot, prof. Adams said that for detention we have to make a report based on music: from then to now
Zoe: does she know that I´ve been hit by a car? I bet she thinks that I did that on purpose, so I don´t have to go to the detention :S
Matt: i wouldn´t be suprised
Zoe: so, I guess, we have to do it, which means we have to organise. When can we meet? (yesss!!!!)
Matt: ummm, what day is today?
Zoe: Friday, why?
Matt: tomorrow at 3.00, ok?
Zoe: it´s a date.
Zoe: no!no!no! that sounded wrong. I meant, ok, see you at 3.00. library.
Matt: hahahhh, I know what you meant bye
Zoe: bye
Hmm, what to wear tomorrow?
Zoe trashed up her whole closet, untill she found perfect combination: black shirt on one shoulder, red heart necklase, jeans and black flat shoes. she couldn´t sleep, so she thought about everything. Very fast, morning came, and she had to go.
Mom: where are you going?
Zoe: umm, to the library.
Mom: why?
Zoe: i´ve gotta go, I´m late. You can question me later -.-
Allison: she´s going with...
Zoe: Allison, zip it! Bye!
After 20 min. :
Zoe: hey, sorry I´m late.
Matt:it doesen´t matter. Lets do this.
Zoe: ok.
At first, they fought about everything, then they joked around, and did nothing and then when they finally finished, they went to Starbucks for coffee.

Zoe: so, why did you transfer to this school? I forgot to ask.
Matt: well, my mom got job here so, we went to California.
Zoe: thats it? I thought the story would be more interesting. In which neighbourhood do you live now?
Matt: well, not everyone are interesting as you I live in Elm street. You?
Zoe: I live one street further. In Maple street so... will we go home now? It´s getting pretty late.
Matt: sure. Are you going by a bus?
Zoe: no, I´ll walk.
Matt: you know that its 20 min of walk away from here?
Zoe: yes, so?
Matt: nothing, just saying.
Zoe: so, you´re going to walk. Why?
Matt: so you don´t go alone. Well, it´s night and there are many creepy people out there.
Zoe: ahaa, good to know. And by the way, that´s lame excuse, but ok
Matt: it´s not an excuse. Not all of it.
Zoe: let´s go already. I won´t get home untill midnight if we keep this way. And it´s getting cold.
Matt: here, put my jacket on, I don´t want you to get a cold.
Zoe: thanks. hey, something fell on my head. Oh it´s raining.
After a fiew minutes they were both wet.
Zoe: I think you don´t have to worry about catching a cold now, you´l deffenetly get it.
Matt: do you have to joke about everything?
Zoe: no, but I like to. Whats who I am and...
She couldn´t finish the sentence, because Matt took her hand and pulled her close to him. They were a fiew inches away from each other. That was the perfect moment. The rain, night and stars... and everything.
Matt: you took my english book. Can you give it back?
Zoe: what? You´ve got to be kidding? No? ( she took the book and hit him with it) goodbye!
Matt: what did you think I´m gonna say? Wait, I´m sorry, if I knew you were so into me I would...
Zoe: whoaa!! Wait a second! Just to be clear: I am not into you, you are into me! I heard you what you said in hospital. (I didn´t) so don´t you ...
Matt: Zoe, shut up!
He leand over to kiss her, and just when their lips touched...
Zoe: A-a. Not tonight. I can play that game too. Doesn´t feel so good, does it? and for the future: Don't play with girl who can play better than you. ;P

3. chapter

Next morning was interesting for certain people:
Ding-dong
Matt: good morning! Is Zoe home?
Mom: yes, just a minute. Zoooooe!
Zoe: what?
Mom: someone is at the door.
Zoe: what are you doing here?
Matt: I wanted to apologise for yesterday, and ask you to the movies. And I have coffee. Here you go.
Zoe: thanks for coffee, but no.
Matt:Bye!
Zoe: bye!
Next morning the same story:
Zoe: no.
Matt: you know what, playing hard to get is not interesting at all.
Zoe: so why are you here second day in a row?
Matt: because... I don´t know.
After he got home, Matt went to park with a couple of his friends: Nick, Lucas, Tony and Alex.
Matt: so... she said no again.
Tony: I don´t understand. What do you see in her so special? She´s just a girl. You can have tons of them. But no, you have to have the one who doesen´t give a damn about you.
Matt: it´s not like that at all. And she´s not „just a girl“. She has the most beautiful eyes, expecially when she laughs, she´s smart, funny and great.
Tony: wow, dude, you sound like a girl. Chill! If she doesn´t want you, she doesen´t want you.
Lucas: you know what, try one more time, they say that third time is a charm. And I agree with Tony, you sound gay. Now lets play basketball!
Next morning:
Matt: sooo?
Zoe: ok, but just because your persistence.

In school:
Kyra: hey, in Saturday is big sale at the H&M. Wanna go?
Zoe: H&M? Ahhh, I can´t.
Kyra: why?
Zoe: I have plans.
Kyra: with who? Is it the hot waiter at the Starbucks? Or the one at a bookstore?
Zoe: with Matt.
Kyra: wait. Who? Matt? Why? Didn´t you say that you´re over him? And why am I not informed about everything?
Zoe: ufff, it´s a long story...
Kyra: so make it shorter. Soo???
Zoe: we were making english project... then we were walking home and then... nothing happen... and next morning he brought me coffee... and the day after that... you know I can´t say no to coffee XD
Kyra: wow, you made it so boriiiing. But I made my version and it´s better so... it´s ok
Zoe: first of all: I´ll go with you to H&M.
Kyra: and what about...?
Zoe: don´t you worry for that.
Zoe: (texting) can we move the „movie night“ for today?
Matt: sure. I´ll pick you up at eight. Ok?
Zoe: ok.
19:59:
Ding-dong
Zoe: just in time!
Matt: wow! You look.. stunning!
Zoe (blushing): thanks
Matt: shall we?
Zoe: let´s shall.
Matt opened her car door and she elegantly got in. While Matt was driving, Zoe was looking thru some things and found Matt´s drivers liscence.
Zoe: OMG! Hahahh, what happened to you??
Matt:hahh, bad day. From now you are forbidden to touch anything.
Zoe: ok I won´t . Uuuu, what are theese? Metallica, Green day...
Matt: and what about that promise?
Zoe: I forgot to tell you: I don´t keep promises
Matt: we´re here.
Zoe: that soon?
Matt: well, time goes fast when you talk all the time just kidding.
Zoe: you know what?
Matt: what?
Zoe: I don´t know now, but when I do, you´re screwed.
As they walked down the street, street light was lightening Zoe´s long black hair. They looked like a perfect couple. She had black, knee-length dress, red heart necklace, and red flat shoes, and he had jeans, black shirt, a hoodie and sneakers. He was taller then her, and they looked so cute
Zoe: what are we actually going to watch?
Matt: „Curse of the dead“
Zoe: a horror movie? How predictable.
Matt (smiling): why?
Zoe: oh, don´t pretend like you don´t know why.
Matt: hold the tickets for a second.
Zoe: „Curse of the dead“, last row, love seat. Wait! Love seat? What do you expect from this date? Just to be clear: On your place I wouldn´t expect nothing, ´cause nothing will happen. Got it? Good.
Matt: can´t blame me for trying.
Zoe: wanna bet??
Matt: look, I´m sorry. Let´s go now, movie is starting.
Lights went out, and the movie started. It wasn´t so bad. First it was ok, but then stared some scenes that were brutall. Really brutall. Zoe saw only the half of the movie. Every few seconds she looked away. From all that screaming and crying in the background, she didn´t notice that she got very close to Matt´s seat. And then, after a while, Matt pulled that old trick. He was streching his arms, and then put his arm around Zoe. First very gentle, and then when he saw it´s ok, pulled her closer to him. Zoe first wanted to say something, but then she looked him in eyes and forgot everything she wanted to say.

4. chapter

Matt and Zoe were in that position the whole movie. After the movie ended they went home.
Zoe: next time I choose the movie, that movie was horrible.
Matt: so... it will be next time? I passed your test?
Zoe: maybe, you were ok, if we exclude fiew situations like the one with tickets.
Matt: ahaaam. But the fact is that you liked it. Hey, what time is it?
Zoe: 22.30.
Matt: great.
Zoe: why?
Matt: unlike you, I keep my promises. And I promised that I will bring you home at eleven.
Zoe: so now you´re good and polite? That´s unusuall
Matt: well, I don´t want to displease your mom this first time. I have to keep something for later
Zoe: ahaam. Good to know.
Matt: we´re here.
Matt got out of the car and opened the door to Zoe and walked her to the door. They were standing opposite each other. Matt leaned over and kiss Zoe... in the cheek.
Matt (whispering): sweet dreams beautiful.
And then, he turned around, got in to car, and left.
Zoe got in the house after a while.
Allison: sooo? How did go?
Zoe: what? Umm, don´t know for sure. I´m tired, we´ll talk tommorow.
Allison: okaaay, you´re wierd. Good night.
Zoe: sure. Whatever.
Zoe climbed up in her room, closed the door, and tried to fall asleep. But she couldn´t. She couldn´t stop thinking about Matt. She wanted to stop thinking about him andshe wanted to sleep, but she couldn´t. Zoe didn´t know why is she acting like this, it´s not like something happened, it was just kiss in a cheek. Was it maybe the way he said good night, or because he didn´t want to made out with her on the first date, or just the way he treated her, he wasn´t a jerk like a rest of them. She just didn´t know why did he left so fast. She was up all night. As the night went on, she felt strange, but in a good way, and in the morning she was rested. But she didn´t know how, because she didn´t sleep all night. How wierd?! She was wandering around the house, and thinking.
She finally fall asleep in 10.30.
Zoe: auuughh! I will just sleep fiew... minutes...and then... wake up...
13.30:
Zoe: ouuuu! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I was sleeping for three hours! Fuck!
Zoe quickly packed up her things, grabbed an energy bar and ran out of the house. In souch a hurry, she forgot to lock the doors, so she had to go back and lock it. Then she had to ran all the way to school. On the way to school, she stepped in a water puddle, a car almost hit her while she was crossing the road, and she almost smashed in the tree. When she finally got to school, she was breathless, and she had to go to class. She didn´t have the time to cool down a little bit. But, that´s not all. When Zoe entered the biology class, prof. Taclle accedently turn school directory to her name. BIG suprise -.- but, luckily, Kyra was there for her. Like always. Kyra whispered her the answers, and Zoe got an B.
Zoe: Kyra, did I told you that you´re a life saver?
Kyra: yes, I know I am
Zoe: you wouldn´t belive what happened to me this morning.
Kyra: what?
Zoe: ummm, first I fell asleep, and missed the bus, then I forgot to lock front doors, then, while I was crossing the street a car almost hit me, again, and... oh, I almost smashed in a tree.
Kyra: whats unusuall about that? You almost every day smash in the tree or something else, like, khm, the classroom doors XD
Zoe: you´re right, classroom doors was my biggest blooper XD
Kyra: ok, nevermind that. Sooo, how did it go yesterday???
Zoe: great...
Kyra: details, Zoe, details!
Zoe: I told you already. Over facebook, remember?
Kyra: I remember. But you didn´t tell me the most important thing: did he kissed you or not?
Zoe: well... no. Not sure why.
Kyra: oh well, maybe he´s one of the sensitive ones XD wants to go slooooooooow XD
Zoe: oh shut up XD no he´s not. It´s like something happen.
Prof. Taclle: Zoe and Kyra, this is your first warning. And it won´t be second warning.
Zoe: sorry, teacher. Won´t happen again.
Zoe: we have to be quiet for the rest of the class.
Kyra: i´ll try. But I won´t promise anything.
After school, Zoe went to library to borrow a book for her english asigment about American presidents. After waiting half an hour in line just to borrow a book, she got home.
Mom: Zoeeeee!!! You´ve got a letter from MSA.
Zoe: what??? Gimme, I wanna read.
( I probably didn´t mention this, but about three months ago, I´ve sent a request for scholarship for MSA- Maryland school of arts )
Zoe: OMG!!! No way, I got in!!! I got in!!! I got in!!! I must start packing and tell Kyra!
Mom: but... you´re leaving in two days, why are you packing now?
Zoe: no reason, gotta go
Zoe called Matt and asked him to meet at the park. She got ready and went to meet him.
Matt: heyy!
Zoe: hi! Listen... I will make this short, I have something to tell you: I am going to Maryland.
Matt: what? wait... WHAT? why?
Zoe: I got accepted at the MSA so...
Matt: do you have to go?
Zoe: yes, this was my dream since I was little.
Matt: but I don´t want you to go.
Zoe: exuse me? You DON´T WANT me to go? Who do you think you are? We went on one date, ONE date, that doesn´t give you the right to control me and make desicions for me. We´re over. Goodbye!
Zoe was angry, she rushed home, volume up the music, and started packing clothes. She packed untill 4 AM. At the end, she had three suitcases filled with clothes, shoes, purses and jewlary.
Zoe: maybe it´s too much, but... the more, the better
Next day went as expected. First everyone in school said goodbye to her, then neighbours, and at the end of day, her mother and Allison. They took her to the airport and wished her good luck in school. Zoe got into the plane, and the six hours long flight began. First half an hour she was reading some book, then she got bored, so she watched some film on tv and then fell asleep. Stewardess woke her up when they began to land to Maryland. She got out off the plane and went to the MSA by taxy. She had to choose her main course, and she signed up for photography, her favorite thing. She got a shcedule of classes and a dorm key.
Zoe: hmm, 146 A, okay.
She went with her luggage to her dorm, the doors were open and some guy came up, shirtless, looking her strange. And, damn, was he hot. Tall, dark brown, almost black hair and sky blue eyes.
Zoe: whooa *_* I mean... hi, I´m Zoe
Lucas: hahah, hello Zoe, I´m Lucas
Zoe: excuse me, but, why are you in my dorm?
Lucas: your dorm? I´m quite sure that this is my dorm.
Zoe: no, look at the key.
Lucas: they probably messed something up. Looks like you´re stuck with me at least for two days, untill they find you another room.
Zoe: yeah, looks like I am
Lucas: here, let me carry in your bags
Zoe: and a gentleman too? This keeps getting better and better. Just don´t spend it all at once
Lucas: you don´t have to worry about that ;D
Zoe: okay then, we´ll see.


5. chapter

Zoe: I´m going to take a shower. And you could put on a shirt, you know.
Lucas: but then it wouldn´t be fun, or would it?
Zoe: it... ughhh, nevermind.
Lucas: that´s what I thought ;P
After a shower Zoe changed into a blue tunic and skinny jeans, and got out of the bathroom.
Lucas: good, you´re dressed. Wanna go for a drink?
Zoe: ok, sure
Lucas: great, I know a cool bar, nearby.
Zoe: let´s go.
They went in a small bar near the campus. They ordered drinks and started to know each other.
Zoe: so, what are you doing on MSA?
Lucas: well, this was my wish since I was a kid. I was always fascinated by music. And you?
Zoe: me? I came here for photography, but I´m also running away from problems.
Lucas: what problems?
Zoe: with my boyfriend Matt.
Lucas: so, you´re in a relationship?
Zoe: not anymore. We broke up because of the MSA.
Lucas: oh...
Zoe: hey, lets go dance, I´m bored.
They danced for half an hour, and then started the slow songs.
Lucas: do you wanna go, or?
Zoe: nah, its okay. But if you want to...
Lucas: no! I mean, I´m good.
Zoe: look at us. We met today and we already dance to slow songs. Hahaahhah.
Lucas spinned and leaned her, as the song end.
Zoe: you are a good dancer, you know?
Lucas: so I have been told. Shall we go? It´s 11:30.
Zoe: okay, lets go.
They walked to the dorm, it was a beautiful night. Zoe went to the balcony and sat a while. Lucas came.
Lucas: aren´t you going to sleep?
Zoe: what? sleeping is no option. Look how beautiful sky is tonight. But you go, if you are feeling sleepy.
Lucas went inside, and then came back to Zoe.
Lucas: is there room for one more? I have blanket.
Zoe: yes, but just because you have blanket.
Lucas sat next to her and they were talking as the night passed.
Zoe: so, where are you from?
Lucas: I´m from Ohio. You?
Zoe: I´m from California.
Lucas: you´ve mentioned some Matt. what´s he like?
Zoe: nothing special. I mean, he is good and sweet, but he dissapointed me. We went on, like, one date and he thinks that he can control my life and how I live it. My mom let that to dad, but I won´t make the same mistake.
Lucas: oh... what happened to your mom and dad?
Zoe: dad left her when I was three years old.
Lucas: I´m sorry, I shouldn´t...
Zoe: no, its okay. I don´t care anymore. What about you?
Lucas: well, currently I´m living with my mom and grandma, my dad is a marine, so he isn´t at home much, but I have younger brother and sister, so they keep my mind occupied.
Zoe: haahaha so you´re never bored
Lucas: with them around, you can´t be bored
They talked all night long. It´s 5:00 now.
Zoe leaned her head on his shoulder, she was tired. Lucas put his arm around Zoe, but he didn´t realise that she fell asleep. When he saw her, he smiled, picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Lucas: (kissed her in the forehead) good night Zoe.
He also went to sleep.
In the morning, Zoe woke up suddenly because she was late to class.
Zoe: OMG! OMG! I´m late!
Lucas: Zoe! STOP! You´re not late, it´s S-U-N-D-A-Y
Zoe: wait, what? really? Great. Now I feel stupid.
Lucas: well, not supid, just silly
Zoe: (throws pillow at him) oh, shut up.
Lucas: oh, no you didn´t! (starts running after her)
Zoe: No! No! No! No! ( runs and openes the doors)
Campus secretary: hello miss Dallaway, I´m glad that you´re having fun. -.- we found you a new room, 148 A. Here´s a key.
Zoe: thank you.
Campus secretary: goodbye. (walks away)
Zoe: so...
Lucas: yeah...
Zoe: how high is the balcony wall?
Lucas: I don´t know. Around half a meter. Why?
Zoe: because my room is next to yours, and if my roommate is annoying I have a place to hide.
Lucas: and why do you think that I would let you in?
Zoe: because I´ll be more interesting than your roommate
Lucas: how do you know? I haven´t got him yet.
Zoe: I just do, you´ll see now excuse me, but I have to move out.
Zoe grabbed the rest of her stuff and moved to her new room, where her new roommate was.
Zoe: oh, hello, I´m Zoe
Abby: hi Zoe, I´m Abby.
Zoe: I guess we´re roommates now. So... where is my bed?
Abby: well, mine is the one on the left side, so yours is on the right.
Zoe: okay.
Abby: I´m going to the library, so... you can unpack in peace.
Zoe: thanks, see you later.
Zoe used those couple of hours alone to unpack and call her mom and sister.
Mom: hello? Zoe?
Zoe: hi mom. I just wanted to let you know I´ve came to MSA, I wanted to call you yesterday but I couldn´t find my battery.
Mom: are you okay? You sound different.
Zoe: no, I´m good, I´m just tired. How´s Allison?
Mom: hahaha how do you think she is?
Zoe: grumpy?
Mom: as always.
Zoe: okay, I´ll talk to you later mom, I have to go. Tell Allison I said hi!
Mom: I will. Take care honey.
Zoe: I will. Bye mom.
Mom: bye!
Zoe finnished unpacking and layed on a bed to rest a little. Her phone rang.
Zoe: hello?
Xxx: hello Zoe, how are you?
Zoe: (went on the balcony) Matt? Why are you calling me? -.-“
Matt: I just wanted to say I´m sorry for all that.
Zoe: and...
Matt: and... can we make up?
Zoe: I don´t know, Matt. You can´t call me and expect us get together again. It takes a lot more to even think about that.
Matt: so... there is a chance?
Zoe: I don´t know, listen... I´ve gotta go. Goodbye.
Matt: bye.
Few minutes after her conversation with Matt, Abby came back to the room.
Abby: hey, mind if I ask you a favour?
Zoe: nope, what do you need?
Abby: well, I was wondering if I could have room for myself? Someone is comming.
Zoe: no problem, I have to go somewhere anyway. (I don´t) So... see you later then.
Abby: thank you soo much! Bye!
Zoe went to Luke´s dorm. Knock-knock!
Lucas: yes?
Zoe: are you busy?
Lucas: for you? Never. what do you need?
Zoe (smiles): nothing, I am banned from my room, so I decided to drop by.
Lucas: banned? o.O
Zoe: my roommate needs it to herself... and her boyfriend.
Lucas: oh, is that so? Well, I advise you not to go in the room, it´s a little bit messy but we can go for a walk.
Zoe: a little bit? sure, a walk sound fine.
Lucas: so, where will we go?
Zoe: ugh, the further the better.
Lucas: okay then, lets go.
...
Zoe: Lucas?
Lucas: yees?
Zoe: thank you.
Lucas: for what?
Zoe: for being the better friend and understanding me better then some people who know me for years.
Lucas: umm, you´re welcome? I´m sorry, I don´t know what to say.
Zoe: nevermind then.
Lucas: no, I didn´t mean like that. I litterally don´t know what to say.
Zoe: ? lets talk about something else, anything but that xD
Lucas: like what?
Zoe: hmm. Hmmmmm.
Lucas: and?
Zoe: wait for it, I will find something (brrrh)
Lucas: did you just shiver?
Zoe: nope.
Lucas: yes you did, here (takes off hoodie) put it on
Zoe: thanks so... date of birth?
Lucas: suptile 21.6.1994. yours?
Zoe: 14.7.1994.
Lucas: a cancer?
Zoe: do you have a problem with cancers?
Lucas: just one specific
Zoe: ha-ha you know what?
Lucas: what?
Zoe: I´ll give you chance to ask me 3 questions on wich I will answer honestly, but you can´t mention them ever after this conversation, got it?
Lucas: hmm, this will be interesting
Zoe: yes, that´s what I´m afraid of
Lucas: question one: what is your type of guy?
Zoe: next question
Lucas: c´mon, you promised
Zoe: let me think... I don´t have a special type of guy, I only want a warm smile, bright eyes, good sense of humor, honesty, romance and that he plays a guitar *__*
Lucas: hey, I said that you describe your type of guy, not me
Zoe: don´t flatter yourself wait, you play a guitar?

Lucas: yes I do
Zoe: you´ll have to play me something

Hi Lolly! First question, is this true? Like are you really this Zoe? Or is this fictional?
Also, I was thinking that you should turn this into a script. You've got the talking done well, the the smiley faces are pretty cool!

The main problems are grammar. If you read through it, you can easily catch them.

1.chapter

Well, you know how all stories begin.
Once upon a time there was a girl who had everything she could ever want. She was beautiful and she had family to support her in everything. Everything in her life was perfect. And she lived happily ever after.
Well, this story is slightly different.
My name is Zoe. I live in California with my mom and older sister Allison. We are one big happy family. -.-'' If you are wondering why I didn´t mention my father, I´ll tell you why. When I was 3 years old he left my mom because" she didn´t pay much attention to him“ or something like that. But what can I do? I was hurt for some time, but after 13 years I don´t care anymore. Now I´m 16 years old.
Where was I? Oh, yeah, me. This is how my ordinary day looks like:
6:00 AM. Must...get...up...
I got up (after half an hour), brushed my teeth, put on jeans and my favorite, RED shirt *.* and went to school. First my bus was late, then I had to walk to school. :S Of course, I was late. In front of the classroom, just when I want to come in, someone opened the door and SLAM!!! I hit my head into the doors.
Xxx: Are you ok? You bumped hard.
Zoe: Ummm, yes. I think. I´m used to that. It´s not the first time.
Xxx: hahh, ok then. As long as you´re ok.
Did he just winked me? Yes he did He got up and offered his hand and helped me to got up. He´s cute. He has light brown hair, warm brown eyes and beautiful smile.
Zoe: Thanks! Are you new here? I have never seen you before.
Xxx: Maybe you have seen me.
Zoe: I think I would remember YOUR face... ok, wait, that didn´t sound good.
Xxx: ohhh, good to know. And I am new. I´m Matthew Hayden. And you are..?
Zoe: I´m Zoe.
Matt: Zoe...?
Zoe: For you? Just Zoe Hey, can you borrow me your phone, I can´t find mine, I´ve lost it when you hit me. It just has to ring so I can find it.
Matt: this? Sorry I can´t.
Zoe: Why?
Matt: because if I give you my phone, you will call your phone, and then you will save my number and you will call me late at night and stalk me. So, I can´t
Zoe: you have some theory worked up there. And... why would you think that I will call you?
Matt: ´cause everybody does.
Zoe: you think you´re that charming, don´t you?
Matt: a little bit, yes.
Zoe: well you... you know what, I´ll find it myself.
Matt: wait, I was kidding. Tell me number, I will call.
Zoe(took his phone out of his hands): no, I will. Because then you would call me at night.
Phone ringed and she found it.
Zoe: here you go. Wait, erase number, ok. Now here you go. Bye!!
Matt: you know that school is still lasting?
Zoe: yes. Whats your point? Oh, shit, school. Lets go to class.
They went to classroom (half an hour late)
Prof. Adams : Hayden, Dallaway you´re late. And Hayden, I let you to go to the bathroom, not to chat. Come to detention tomorrow.
Matt: It´s my fault, sorry. She was coming in and I hit her with doors. I promise it won´t happen again.
Prof. Adams: ok then. You´re saved. For now. Sit somewhere and be quiet.
Zoe: at least you put your charm to use. You are lucky that she is female. And, by the way, thanks for that.
Matt: so you do admit that I´m charming?
Zoe: no.... I didn´t said that.
Matt: ok, Dallaway
Zoe: oh, shut up!
Other classes weren´t interesting. Like always.

2. chapter

Zoe got home from school. Nobody was home. She cleaned her room and lie down and started daydreaming about this day and about all that happened. And of course, then about Matt.
Zoe: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!! Why am I so complicated??!! And where is my sister when I need her?
Then, her phone buzzed. A message:
Hey, I want to ask you something, can you meet me at 8.00 at the Starbucks?
XXX
She didn´t know who was it, but she went anyway. When she got there she saw Matt and she couldn´t stop smiling.
Zoe: hey, did you sent me message?
Matt: yes, I wanted to ask you something.
Zoe: ok, what? Wait, how did you get my number?
Matt: I googled you. Or Facebooked you, I don´t know what...
Zoe: ok, I get it. Go on...
Matt(struggling) : I wanted... to ask you... would you...I mean...
Zoe: what? Speak already!
Matt: would you... give me Mary´s number
Zoe(surprised, but in a negative way): ummm... yes, I guess
Matt: tnx, I´ve gotta go. Bye!
Zoe was sad. She ran home as fast as she could. She stopped at some bench, sat, covered her face and started crying.
Zoe: what´s wrong with me? Why I fall in love with some guy who is in love with somebody else?
Next few weeks she didn´t talk to anyone but her best friend Kyra. She knew everything and was there always for Zoe.
Zoe: you know what, i´m over Matt, he can do what ever he wants, I don´t care anymore. Let´s go shopping, i can´t be home anymore.
They went to many stores and spent 2000 $. Zoe bought beautiful red dress and black shoes, and Kyra bought that same dress, but black. Everything was good, until Matt started sending messages to Zoe. She wanted to respond, but she didn´t. She loved him, but didn´t wanted to admit. Pride was bigger. So she read his messages and than deleted them.
One day she went to the store, and while she was crossing the road she saw Mary and Matt together and she just stared. A car was getting closer, but she didn´t saw it. She was blinded by a lights. A car hit her.
She was unconscious for two days, she heard everything, but couldn´t open her eyes and say something. She heard her mom and sister crying and asking the doctor will she make it. She heard Kyra talking about school an she was telling jokes. „hahhah, at least someone knows what I like. I love Kyra for that. Thats why she´s my best friend.
Whats what noise? It wasn´t mom, Allison or Kyra. Who was that?“
Hey, I can´t be here for long. I know you can´t hear me. Thats why I can say this: when I asked for you to come to Starbucks, I wanted...t..as...ou..wil..“ whats that? I can´t hear him anymore, I´m feeling...
after a while, Zoe woke up.
Zoe: wh... where is Matt?
Doctor: you´re friend went home. Do you want me to call him?
Zoe: thanks, but no. Can you tell me how long must I stay in the hospital?
Doctor: well, since car hit you very hard, you´re lucky that you have only a mild concussion, a few cuts and bruises, so you have to stay another week, just to be sure
Zoe: thank you, doctor.
„Next week, everyone came to visit me, everyone but the one I wanted to come“
Zoe: finally, home! Off to Facebook. Finally! and look who is online
Matt: hey, how are you?
Zoe: good, I told you already, this kind of things happen to me all the time
Matt: hahahh, yes, I have noticed that
Zoe: soo... what was happening in school last week?
Matt: nothing special.
Zoe: like always -.-
Matt: oh, wait, I almost forgot, prof. Adams said that for detention we have to make a report based on music: from then to now
Zoe: does she know that I´ve been hit by a car? I bet she thinks that I did that on purpose, so I don´t have to go to the detention :S
Matt: i wouldn´t be surprised
Zoe: so, I guess, we have to do it, which means we have to organize. When can we meet? (yesss!!!!)
Matt: ummm, what day is today?
Zoe: Friday, why?
Matt: tomorrow at 3.00, ok?
Zoe: it´s a date.
Zoe: no!no!no! that sounded wrong. I meant, ok, see you at 3.00. library.
Matt: hahahhh, I know what you meant bye
Zoe: bye
Hmm, what to wear tomorrow?
Zoe trashed up her whole closet, until she found perfect combination: black shirt on one shoulder, red heart necklace, jeans and black flat shoes. she couldn´t sleep, so she thought about everything. Very fast, morning came, and she had to go.
Mom: where are you going?
Zoe: umm, to the library.
Mom: why?
Zoe: i´ve gotta go, I´m late. You can question me later -.-
Allison: she´s going with...
Zoe: Allison, zip it! Bye!
After 20 min. :
Zoe: hey, sorry I´m late.
Matt:it doesen´t matter. Lets do this.
Zoe: ok.
At first, they fought about everything, then they joked around, and did nothing and then when they finally finished, they went to Starbucks for coffee.

Zoe: so, why did you transfer to this school? I forgot to ask.
Matt: well, my mom got job here so, we went to California.
Zoe: thats it? I thought the story would be more interesting. In which neighborhood do you live now?
Matt: well, not everyone are interesting as you I live in Elm street. You?
Zoe: I live one street further. In Maple street so... will we go home now? It´s getting pretty late.
Matt: sure. Are you going by a bus?
Zoe: no, I´ll walk.
Matt: you know that its 20 min of walk away from here?
Zoe: yes, so?
Matt: nothing, just saying.
Zoe: so, you´re going to walk. Why?
Matt: so you don´t go alone. Well, it´s night and there are many creepy people out there.
Zoe: ahaa, good to know. And by the way, that´s lame excuse, but ok
Matt: it´s not an excuse. Not all of it.
Zoe: let´s go already. I won´t get home until midnight if we keep this way. And it´s getting cold.
Matt: here, put my jacket on, I don´t want you to get a cold.
Zoe: thanks. hey, something fell on my head. Oh it´s raining.
After a few minutes they were both wet.
Zoe: I think you don´t have to worry about catching a cold now, you´l definitely get it.
Matt: do you have to joke about everything?
Zoe: no, but I like to. Whats who I am and...
She couldn´t finish the sentence, because Matt took her hand and pulled her close to him. They were a few inches away from each other. That was the perfect moment. The rain, night and stars... and everything.
Matt: you took my English book. Can you give it back?
Zoe: what? You´ve got to be kidding? No? ( she took the book and hit him with it) goodbye!
Matt: what did you think I´m gonna say? Wait, I´m sorry, if I knew you were so into me I would...
Zoe: whoaa!! Wait a second! Just to be clear: I am not into you, you are into me! I heard you what you said in hospital. (I didn´t) so don´t you ...
Matt: Zoe, shut up!
He leaned over to kiss her, and just when their lips touched...
Zoe: A-a. Not tonight. I can play that game too. Doesn´t feel so good, does it? and for the future: Don't play with girl who can play better than you. ;P

3. chapter

Next morning was interesting for certain people:
Ding-dong
Matt: good morning! Is Zoe home?
Mom: yes, just a minute. Zoooooe!
Zoe: what?
Mom: someone is at the door.
Zoe: what are you doing here?
Matt: I wanted to apologies for yesterday, and ask you to the movies. And I have coffee. Here you go.
Zoe: thanks for coffee, but no.
Matt:Bye!
Zoe: bye!
Next morning the same story:
Zoe: no.
Matt: you know what, playing hard to get is not interesting at all.
Zoe: so why are you here second day in a row?
Matt: because... I don´t know.
After he got home, Matt went to park with a couple of his friends: Nick, Lucas, Tony and Alex. This Lucas isn't the Lucas that Zoe meets at MSA right? Maybe you should change one of their names, most likely the Lucas here to avoid confusion.
Matt: so... she said no again.
Tony: I don´t understand. What do you see in her so special? She´s just a girl. You can have tons of them. But no, you have to have the one who doesn't´t give a damn about you.
Matt: it´s not like that at all. And she´s not „just a girl“. She has the most beautiful eyes, especially when she laughs, she´s smart, funny and great.
Tony: wow, dude, you sound like a girl. Chill! If she doesn´t want you, she doesn´t want you.
Lucas: you know what, try one more time, they say that third time is a charm. And I agree with Tony, you sound gay. Now lets play basketball!
Next morning:
Matt: sooo?
Zoe: ok, but just because your persistence.

In school:
Kyra: hey, in Saturday is big sale at the H&M. Wanna go?
Zoe: H&M? Ahhh, I can´t.
Kyra: why?
Zoe: I have plans.
Kyra: with who? Is it the hot waiter at the Starbucks? Or the one at a bookstore?
Zoe: with Matt.
Kyra: wait. Who? Matt? Why? Didn´t you say that you´re over him? And why am I not informed about everything?
Zoe: ufff, it´s a long story...
Kyra: so make it shorter. Soo???
Zoe: we were making english project... then we were walking home and then... nothing happen... and next morning he brought me coffee... and the day after that... you know I can´t say no to coffee XD
Kyra: wow, you made it so boriiiing. But I made my version and it´s better so... it´s ok
Zoe: first of all: I´ll go with you to H&M.
Kyra: and what about...?
Zoe: don´t you worry for that.
Zoe: (texting) can we move the „movie night“ for today?
Matt: sure. I´ll pick you up at eight. Ok?
Zoe: ok.
19:59:
Ding-dong
Zoe: just in time!
Matt: wow! You look.. stunning!
Zoe (blushing): thanks
Matt: shall we?
Zoe: let´s shall.
Matt opened her car door and she elegantly got in. While Matt was driving, Zoe was looking thru some things and found Matt´s drivers license.
Zoe: OMG! Hahahh, what happened to you??
Matt:hahh, bad day. From now you are forbidden to touch anything.
Zoe: ok I won´t . Uuuu, what are these? Metallica, Green day...
Matt: and what about that promise?
Zoe: I forgot to tell you: I don´t keep promises
Matt: we´re here.
Zoe: that soon?
Matt: well, time goes fast when you talk all the time just kidding.
Zoe: you know what?
Matt: what?
Zoe: I don´t know now, but when I do, you´re screwed.
As they walked down the street, street light was lightening Zoe´s long black hair. They looked like a perfect couple. She had black, knee-length dress, red heart necklace, and red flat shoes, and he had jeans, black shirt, a hoodie and sneakers. He was taller then her, and they looked so cute
Zoe: what are we actually going to watch?
Matt: „Curse of the dead“
Zoe: a horror movie? How predictable.
Matt (smiling): why?
Zoe: oh, don´t pretend like you don´t know why.
Matt: hold the tickets for a second.
Zoe: „Curse of the dead“, last row, love seat. Wait! Love seat? What do you expect from this date? Just to be clear: On your place I wouldn´t expect nothing, ´cause nothing will happen. Got it? Good.
Matt: can´t blame me for trying.
Zoe: wanna bet??
Matt: look, I´m sorry. Let´s go now, movie is starting.
Lights went out, and the movie started. It wasn´t so bad. First it was ok, but then stared some scenes that were brutal. Really brutal. Zoe saw only the half of the movie. Every few seconds she looked away. From all that screaming and crying in the background, she didn´t notice that she got very close to Matt´s seat. And then, after a while, Matt pulled that old trick. He was stretching his arms, and then put his arm around Zoe. First very gentle, and then when he saw it´s ok, pulled her closer to him. Zoe first wanted to say something, but then she looked him in eyes and forgot everything she wanted to say.

4. chapter

Matt and Zoe were in that position the whole movie. After the movie ended they went home.
Zoe: next time I choose the movie, that movie was horrible.
Matt: so... it will be next time? I passed your test?
Zoe: maybe, you were ok, if we exclude few situations like the one with tickets.
Matt: ahaaam. But the fact is that you liked it. Hey, what time is it?
Zoe: 22.30.
Matt: great.
Zoe: why?
Matt: unlike you, I keep my promises. And I promised that I will bring you home at eleven.
Zoe: so now you´re good and polite? That´s unusual
Matt: well, I don´t want to displease your mom this first time. I have to keep something for later
Zoe: ahaam. Good to know.
Matt: we´re here.
Matt got out of the car and opened the door to Zoe and walked her to the door. They were standing opposite each other. Matt leaned over and kiss Zoe... in the cheek.
Matt (whispering): sweet dreams beautiful.
And then, he turned around, got in to car, and left.
Zoe got in the house after a while.
Allison: sooo? How did go?
Zoe: what? Umm, don´t know for sure. I´m tired, we´ll talk tomorrow.
Allison: okaaay, you´re weird. Good night.
Zoe: sure. Whatever.
Zoe climbed up in her room, closed the door, and tried to fall asleep. But she couldn´t. She couldn´t stop thinking about Matt. She wanted to stop thinking about him and she wanted to sleep, but she couldn´t. Zoe didn´t know why is she acting like this, it´s not like something happened, it was just kiss in a cheek. Was it maybe the way he said good night, or because he didn´t want to made out with her on the first date, or just the way he treated her, he wasn´t a jerk like a rest of them. She just didn´t know why did he left so fast. She was up all night. As the night went on, she felt strange, but in a good way, and in the morning she was rested. But she didn´t know how, because she didn´t sleep all night. How weird?! She was wandering around the house, and thinking.
She finally fall asleep in 10.30.
Zoe: auuughh! I will just sleep few... minutes...and then... wake up...
13.30:
Zoe: ouuuu! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I was sleeping for three hours! Fuck!
Zoe quickly packed up her things, grabbed an energy bar and ran out of the house. In such a hurry, she forgot to lock the doors, so she had to go back and lock it. Then she had to ran all the way to school. On the way to school, she stepped in a water puddle, a car almost hit her while she was crossing the road, and she almost smashed in the tree. When she finally got to school, she was breathless, and she had to go to class. She didn´t have the time to cool down a little bit. But, that´s not all. When Zoe entered the biology class, prof. Taclle accidentally turned school directory to her name. BIG surprise -.- but, luckily, Kyra was there for her. Like always. Kyra whispered her the answers, and Zoe got an B. What does "prof. Taclee accidentally turned school directory to her name" mean? Does that mean she got a pop quiz?
Zoe: Kyra, did I told you that you´re a life saver?
Kyra: yes, I know I am
Zoe: you wouldn´t believe what happened to me this morning.
Kyra: what?
Zoe: ummm, first I fell asleep, and missed the bus, then I forgot to lock front doors, then, while I was crossing the street a car almost hit me, again, and... oh, I almost smashed in a tree.
Kyra: whats unusual about that? You almost every day smash in the tree or something else, like, khm, the classroom doors XD
Zoe: you´re right, classroom doors was my biggest blooper XD
Kyra: ok, nevermind that. Sooo, how did it go yesterday???
Zoe: great...
Kyra: details, Zoe, details!
Zoe: I told you already. Over facebook, remember?
Kyra: I remember. But you didn´t tell me the most important thing: did he kissed you or not?
Zoe: well... no. Not sure why.
Kyra: oh well, maybe he´s one of the sensitive ones XD wants to go slooooooooow XD
Zoe: oh shut up XD no he´s not. It´s like something happen.
Prof. Taclle: Zoe and Kyra, this is your first warning. And it won´t be second warning.
Zoe: sorry, teacher. Won´t happen again.
Zoe: we have to be quiet for the rest of the class.
Kyra: i´ll try. But I won´t promise anything.
After school, Zoe went to library to borrow a book for her english assignment about American presidents. After waiting half an hour in line just to borrow a book, she got home.
Mom: Zoeeeee!!! You´ve got a letter from MSA.
Zoe: what??? Gimme, I wanna read.
( I probably didn´t mention this, but about three months ago, I´ve sent a request for scholarship for MSA- Maryland school of arts )
Zoe: OMG!!! No way, I got in!!! I got in!!! I got in!!! I must start packing and tell Kyra!
Mom: but... you´re leaving in two days, why are you packing now?
Zoe: no reason, gotta go
Zoe called Matt and asked him to meet at the park. She got ready and went to meet him.
Matt: heyy!
Zoe: hi! Listen... I will make this short, I have something to tell you: I am going to Maryland.
Matt: what? wait... WHAT? why?
Zoe: I got accepted at the MSA so...
Matt: do you have to go?
Zoe: yes, this was my dream since I was little.
Matt: but I don´t want you to go.
Zoe: excuse me? You DON´T WANT me to go? Who do you think you are? We went on one date, ONE date, that doesn´t give you the right to control me and make decisions for me. We´re over. Goodbye!
Zoe was angry, she rushed home, volume up the music, and started packing clothes. She packed until 4 AM. At the end, she had three suitcases filled with clothes, shoes, purses and jewelry.
Zoe: maybe it´s too much, but... the more, the better
Next day went as expected. First everyone in school said goodbye to her, then the neighbors, and at the end of day, her mother and Allison. They took her to the airport and wished her good luck in school. Zoe got into the plane, and the six hours long flight began. First half an hour she was reading some book, then she got bored, so she watched some film on tv and then fell asleep. Stewardess woke her up when they began to land to Maryland. She got out off the plane and went to the MSA by taxy. She had to choose her main course, and she signed up for photography, her favorite thing. She got a schedule of classes and a dorm key.
Zoe: hmm, 146 A, okay.
She went with her luggage to her dorm, the doors were open and some guy came up, shirtless, looking her strange. And, damn, was he hot. Tall, dark brown, almost black hair and sky blue eyes.
Zoe: whooa *_* I mean... hi, I´m Zoe
Lucas: hahah, hello Zoe, I´m Lucas
Zoe: excuse me, but, why are you in my dorm?
Lucas: your dorm? I´m quite sure that this is my dorm.
Zoe: no, look at the key.
Lucas: they probably messed something up. Looks like you´re stuck with me at least for two days, until they find you another room. Wouldn't there be separate dorms? Like one that's for girls and one that's for boys?
Zoe: yeah, looks like I am
Lucas: here, let me carry in your bags
Zoe: and a gentleman too? This keeps getting better and better. Just don´t spend it all at once
Lucas: you don´t have to worry about that ;D
Zoe: okay then, we´ll see.


5. chapter

Zoe: I´m going to take a shower. And you could put on a shirt, you know.
Lucas: but then it wouldn´t be fun, or would it?
Zoe: it... ughhh, nevermind.
Lucas: that´s what I thought ;P
After a shower Zoe changed into a blue tunic and skinny jeans, and got out of the bathroom.
Lucas: good, you´re dressed. Wanna go for a drink?
Zoe: ok, sure
Lucas: great, I know a cool bar, nearby.
Zoe: let´s go.
They went in a small bar near the campus. They ordered drinks and started to know each other.
Zoe: so, what are you doing on MSA?
Lucas: well, this was my wish since I was a kid. I was always fascinated by music. And you?
Zoe: me? I came here for photography, but I´m also running away from problems.
Lucas: what problems?
Zoe: with my boyfriend Matt.
Lucas: so, you´re in a relationship?
Zoe: not anymore. We broke up because of the MSA.
Lucas: oh...
Zoe: hey, lets go dance, I´m bored.
They danced for half an hour, and then started the slow songs.
Lucas: do you wanna go, or?
Zoe: nah, its okay. But if you want to...
Lucas: no! I mean, I´m good.
Zoe: look at us. We met today and we already dance to slow songs. Hahaahhah.
Lucas spined and leaned her, as the song end.
Zoe: you are a good dancer, you know?
Lucas: so I have been told. Shall we go? It´s 11:30.
Zoe: okay, lets go.
They walked to the dorm, it was a beautiful night. Zoe went to the balcony and sat a while. Lucas came.
Lucas: aren´t you going to sleep?
Zoe: what? sleeping is no option. Look how beautiful sky is tonight. But you go, if you are feeling sleepy.
Lucas went inside, and then came back to Zoe.
Lucas: is there room for one more? I have blanket.
Zoe: yes, but just because you have blanket.
Lucas sat next to her and they were talking as the night passed.
Zoe: so, where are you from?
Lucas: I´m from Ohio. You?
Zoe: I´m from California.
Lucas: you´ve mentioned some Matt. what´s he like?
Zoe: nothing special. I mean, he is good and sweet, but he disapointed me. We went on, like, one date and he thinks that he can control my life and how I live it. My mom let that to dad, but I won´t make the same mistake.
Lucas: oh... what happened to your mom and dad?
Zoe: dad left her when I was three years old.
Lucas: I´m sorry, I shouldn´t...
Zoe: no, its okay. I don´t care anymore. What about you?
Lucas: well, currently I´m living with my mom and grandma, my dad is a marine, so he isn´t at home much, but I have younger brother and sister, so they keep my mind occupied.
Zoe: haahaha so you´re never bored
Lucas: with them around, you can´t be bored
They talked all night long. It´s 5:00 now.
Zoe leaned her head on his shoulder, she was tired. Lucas put his arm around Zoe, but he didn´t realise that she fell asleep. When he saw her, he smiled, picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Lucas: (kissed her in the forehead) good night Zoe.
He also went to sleep.
In the morning, Zoe woke up suddenly because she was late to class.
Zoe: OMG! OMG! I´m late!
Lucas: Zoe! STOP! You´re not late, it´s S-U-N-D-A-Y
Zoe: wait, what? really? Great. Now I feel stupid.
Lucas: well, not stupid, just silly
Zoe: (throws pillow at him) oh, shut up.
Lucas: oh, no you didn´t! (starts running after her)
Zoe: No! No! No! No! ( runs and opens the doors)
Campus secretary: hello miss Dallaway, I´m glad that you´re having fun. -.- we found you a new room, 148 A. Here´s a key.
Zoe: thank you.
Campus secretary: goodbye. (walks away)
Zoe: so...
Lucas: yeah...
Zoe: how high is the balcony wall?
Lucas: I don´t know. Around half a meter. Why?
Zoe: because my room is next to yours, and if my roommate is annoying I'll have a place to hide.
Lucas: and why do you think that I would let you in?
Zoe: because I´ll be more interesting than your roommate
Lucas: how do you know? I haven´t got him yet.
Zoe: I just do, you´ll see now excuse me, but I have to move out.
Zoe grabbed the rest of her stuff and moved to her new room, where her new roommate was.
Zoe: oh, hello, I´m Zoe
Abby: hi Zoe, I´m Abby.
Zoe: I guess we´re roommates now. So... where is my bed?
Abby: well, mine is the one on the left side, so yours is on the right.
Zoe: okay.
Abby: I´m going to the library, so... you can unpack in peace.
Zoe: thanks, see you later.
Zoe used those couple of hours alone to unpack and call her mom and sister.
Mom: hello? Zoe?
Zoe: hi mom. I just wanted to let you know I´ve came to MSA, I wanted to call you yesterday but I couldn´t find my battery.
Mom: are you okay? You sound different.
Zoe: no, I´m good, I´m just tired. How´s Allison?
Mom: hahaha how do you think she is?
Zoe: grumpy?
Mom: as always.
Zoe: okay, I´ll talk to you later mom, I have to go. Tell Allison I said hi!
Mom: I will. Take care honey.
Zoe: I will. Bye mom.
Mom: bye!
Zoe finished unpacking and layed on a bed to rest a little. Her phone rang.
Zoe: hello?
Xxx: hello Zoe, how are you?
Zoe: (went on the balcony) Matt? Why are you calling me? -.-“
Matt: I just wanted to say I´m sorry for all that.
Zoe: and...
Matt: and... can we make up?
Zoe: I don´t know, Matt. You can´t call me and expect us get together again. It takes a lot more to even think about that.
Matt: so... there is a chance?
Zoe: I don´t know, listen... I´ve gotta go. Goodbye.
Matt: bye.
Few minutes after her conversation with Matt, Abby came back to the room.
Abby: hey, mind if I ask you a favor?
Zoe: nope, what do you need?
Abby: well, I was wondering if I could have room for myself? Someone is coming.
Zoe: no problem, I have to go somewhere anyway. (I don´t) So... see you later then.
Abby: thank you soo much! Bye!
Zoe went to Luke´s dorm. Knock-knock!
Lucas: yes?
Zoe: are you busy?
Lucas: for you? Never. what do you need?
Zoe (smiles): nothing, I am banned from my room, so I decided to drop by.
Lucas: banned? o.O
Zoe: my roommate needs it to herself... and her boyfriend.
Lucas: oh, is that so? Well, I advise you not to go in the room, it´s a little bit messy but we can go for a walk.
Zoe: a little bit? sure, a walk sound fine.
Lucas: so, where will we go?
Zoe: ugh, the further the better.
Lucas: okay then, lets go.
...
Zoe: Lucas?
Lucas: yees?
Zoe: thank you.
Lucas: for what?
Zoe: for being the better friend and understanding me better then some people who know me for years.
Lucas: umm, you´re welcome? I´m sorry, I don´t know what to say.
Zoe: nevermind then.
Lucas: no, I didn´t mean like that. I literally don´t know what to say.
Zoe: ? lets talk about something else, anything but that xD
Lucas: like what?
Zoe: hmm. Hmmmmm.
Lucas: and?
Zoe: wait for it, I will find something (brrrh)
Lucas: did you just shiver?
Zoe: nope.
Lucas: yes you did, here (takes off hoodie) put it on
Zoe: thanks so... date of birth?
Lucas: subtle 21.6.1994. yours?
Zoe: 14.7.1994.
Lucas: a cancer?
Zoe: do you have a problem with cancers?
Lucas: just one specific
Zoe: ha-ha you know what?
Lucas: what?
Zoe: I´ll give you chance to ask me 3 questions on which I will answer honestly, but you can´t mention them ever after this conversation, got it?
Lucas: hmm, this will be interesting
Zoe: yes, that´s what I´m afraid of
Lucas: question one: what is your type of guy?
Zoe: next question
Lucas: c´mon, you promised
Zoe: let me think... I don´t have a special type of guy, I only want a warm smile, bright eyes, good sense of humor, honesty, romance and that he plays a guitar *__*
Lucas: hey, I said that you describe your type of guy, not me
Zoe: don´t flatter yourself wait, you play a guitar?

Lucas: yes I do
Zoe: you´ll have to play me something

The plot is great! Very good! Can't wait for the second part of this! There is going to be a second part of this, right?

hi armstronge
yes, this is mostly true, especially zoe´s (mine) thoughts and relationships with people, and the things that are not true I would like to experience, so maybe one day they will be true
thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it
and I know that grammar is a big problem, I will have to work on it

thanks for the compliments the second part is still in progress, due to lack of inspiration :/

Hey,
I love this story. It's very cute and quite true to life. Most of your grammar was addressed in the last review, so I'll talk about format.
Your format was very script-like in nature. What I mean is, rather than writing: Zoe said, "Insert whatever Zoe is saying here"; you write: Zoe: Insert whatever Zoe is saying here.
This isn't really a bad thing. As a matter of fact, your story would make an excellent play! (I'm obsessed with theatre and various staging ideas kept flying through my head. For example, when Zoe and Matt are talking over Facebook, you could have set pieces depicting their two rooms and each one speaking as they type.)
If I could give you any advice, it would be to re-submit this under scripts. If you do that, remember to puts any actions in either brackets or italics, and other than that, keep the format you have.
Great job! I enjoyed it.

Really sweet story! I like it a lot. But then there is that thing that the other reviewers are saying. You should loose the

Zoe: *Insert what Zoe says*

And instead write "Insert what Zoe says" said Zoe and so on! And then you should loose the smileys and instead write something like "Insert what Zoe says" said Zoe and smiled. That makes the story a bit more fuller. But as the reviewer over me said was that this story would make an excellent play! And you are really good at writing, so keep at it!

Good job!
