In a town where you are the most hated person you begin to channel all your time, energy and money towards leaving. You stray away from relationships and friendships because they are only bound to keep you rooted. That shouldn't be a problem because well... everybody hates you.
You are no different from Zoe then, except that whilst you're probably only willing to go through the right means, she would go to any length and any length she did.
Mission accomplished, she got everything she's ever wanted but then he gives her a reason to stay. But will she?
After everything she went through?
Despite the things she did to get to that point?
I'm not sure. But what do I know anyways?

Tired of Lies
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone.

In a world where loyalty is currency and silence is survival, Zoe struggles quietly to stay afloat. Beneath her gentle smiles and whispered apologies is a girl fighting not to disappear. She feels like a ghost in her own life-caught between who she's supposed to be and the nagging sense that something is deeply wrong. Whispers swirl through the city streets. Secrets hide around every corner. The people around her play games she doesn't fully understand-yet she's closer to them than she knows. Seventeen, maybe eighteen. Old enough to survive alone, young enough to feel the weight pressing her down. Most days, she drags herself through the motions: clock in. Get scolded. Scrape together rent. Repeat. Hope is scarce. Trust scarcer. Yet beneath her guarded silence, she still dreams. What keeps her going? A memory, faint but burning-her mother, who saw light where no one else did. Maybe it's spite. Maybe it's the aching need to break free from a cycle that's gnawed at her for as long as she can remember. Her world is messy, tangled with politics and secrets of powerful families-some connections she doesn't even realize yet. Some people are kind. Some are cruel. Some... far more than they seem. And Zoe? She's just trying to breathe, carving a sliver of space for herself, one defiant step at a time. Because if she stops, even for a moment... everything she's fought for could slip away. And no one will wait for her to rise again.
