I wake up to knocking on my door.

"Zoey, it's me honey! Open the door!" Julia. I look over at the digital clock on my desk. 1:00. I must've fell asleep after breakfast. I'm still in my black sweater and pants from the day I jumped out of that window. I don't know why I put it on again. I get up and open the door for Julia.

"Julia!"

  "Hi Zoey!" We hug eachother so tightly I can't breathe. She  let's go. "You look a lot better. Do you like it here?" She walks inside and closes the door.

"I love it here!" We sit down on my bed.

"Have you made any friends?"

"Actually 2. That's what I need to talk to you about." I say. "You see, I met this guy, James and-"

"Ooh, a boy!"

"Yes, a boy and he kinda asked me if I could hang out with him at 2:00 and I said yes, so you can't stay long, which reminds me, could you drive me to the park? We're going for a walk."

"Sure. It might take a few minutes to get there, so I will drive you there at 1:55."

I hug her."Thank you!"

"Now, tell me about this other friend." She says.

"Well her name is Natasha, she's fifteen, and we met at breakfast this morning." I say walking over to the clock on my desk to set a timer for 1:55. I walk back to the bed and talk with her for a while. And then, the timer rings. I look over at Julia as she says,

     "Time for your date!"
