Lara's pov
During lunch we all start to wonder where Zoe is since she didn't show up at all after she was called to the principal's office. I started to worry during the period before lunch, what if something happened to her, or that she got in trouble but if it was that then what did she do wrong? I was constantly talking about her and making up theories about her whereabouts, because when I start to panic the weirdest things come o my mind:

What if while walking she slipped on a banana peel and cracked her skull open,
Or what if the principle accused her of wrong doings that she didn't do, or even worse that she is leaving this school, oh God! Sydney kept telling me to shut up and Rhea kept saying that nothing has happened and she probably decided to skip classes.

But why would she skip all the classes and even during lunch she wasn't there.

We enter the lunch hall in the same formation and confidence and since Zoe was not there I was left in the middle. Once again everyone stopped doing what they were supposed to do and stared at us. This time as we were passing through the various tables to go to the lunch line, we could all hear what the other students were saying. Which caused looks of triumph on our faces.

"Who are they?"

"Damn, they are hot."

"Aren't these the new girls?"

"They seem much nicer then Claire's group."

I glanced over to Claire's table to see her glaring at us but Chantel had a smug look on her face which confused me.

What did she do...

"Hey guys did you find anything about Zoe?" Rhea asked as we went to the lunch to pick our food.

"I don't know but something gives me a feeling that the look on Chantel's face gives us an hint," said Sydney.

Ha I told you something was wrong! But I did not say that instead I said, "Yea I noticed that too."

I pick a chicken and avocado salad, pink lemonade and a chocolate chip cookie as my lunch. After getting our food we head over to our table and as soon as I put my tray down Rhea's phone began to ring.

She looked  at the caller and a look of relief came upon her as she said, "Guys it's Zoe." she answers the phone.

"Ooh put it on speaker!" Sydney exclaims, which Rhea does.

"Hey Zoe, where are you?" I question on the phone.

"Ok guys I'm actually at home," she answers lowly.

"What, why?" Rhea questions.

"Girls, I can't explain it now, it's a long story, I just want you all to come over after school for a bit today and I will explain everything."

Sydney then said, "Sure we will come, but do you happen to know why Chantel had a smug look on her face?"

"Yes I do, but girls, all will be explained when you come so see you girls after school."

"Bye!" We all say at the same time as Sydney hangs up the phone.

The rest of the day in school goes by in a blur but occasionally groups of people would come to us introducing themselves. We obviously introduced ourselves back in a very polite manner to gain the students admiration. At home time, as soon as the bell was rung, I left class, alone, as I took Literature and the other girls didn't.
