Zoe's POV:

   I wipe my face of any emotion and turn away from him. I shrug and walk towards my bathroom. Why did he have to see?

   "Don't walk away from me, Zoe." I didn't hear him walk up behind me. I try to open the bathroom door, but his hand swooshes past my head and holds the door closed.

   "Move." I say. His hand stays firmly on the door.

   "Tell me where you got those scars." He replies.

I look him dead in his eye. "Move."

His eyes narrow. "No."

I glare at him and push past him.

"Where are you going?" He says, following close behind me.

I ignore him and walk out of the room. Hiroki follows close behind me. "Zoe."

   I don't say anything and continue to walk down the hall.

   "Stop ignoring me and talk to me."

  I feel him grab my arm and, out of instinct, i yelp and smack his hand away. My eyes widen when I look up at him, realizing what I did. He stares back at me, his eyes equally wide. Before he can say anything, I turn away and walk faster. He follows.

"Zoe-"

"Don't." I cut him off.

When I turn the corner, leading into the living room, I bump into Nowaki. He looks down at me, confused.

"What's going on?" He asks. I try to walk past him.

   "Nothing-"

   "No, it's not nothing." Hiroki says, grabbing my arm and stopping me.

   "Let go of me." I say between clenched teeth. He ignores me and still holds on.

   "Not until you tell us where those scars came from."

  Nowaki looks at me sharply. "Scars? What scars?"

   I look away and try to pull my arm away. "I don't know what he's talking about-"

"Stop lying to us, Zoe!" Hiroki yells.

"I'm not lying-" I try to say, but he cuts me off again.

"Is this about that boy, Kazu?"

I flinch and yank my arm back, breaking free. "I said it's nothing!"

Nowaki steps in front of me and looks me in my eye. "Zoe, what aren't you telling us?"

I glare up at him, then try to move past him. He blocks me. "Move."

"Talk to us, Zoe. We know you're hiding something." He says, trying to convince me.

I shake my head and step to the side. He mirrors my step. I glare again.
