Zoe Zanders

Zoe slid down the back of her door looking around the small compartment they considered a room. "Fucking fabulous." She said as she kicked the dresser with her tennis shoe before realizing the lamp resting on it. Hearing the crash of the lamp on the floor, Zoe knew she was about to be in some deep shit. "Really?" She caught herself on her feet, rushing to her bathroom that she now realized didn't have a door on it. Is all this really necessary? We can't all be that messed up.. She thought to herself before dragging a towel from beneath the sink. The lamp would be made of glass of all things. "Oh no door, but here.. Cut yourselves to pieces. We don't mind!" She said in her idea of what one of the teachers would say here. She bent down trying not to let her knees touch the ground, afraid she would cut her knee on some glass.

Just has she had put the last piece of glass in the towel, the knock arrived. Frozen in her current position, she felt her heart begin to race and the sudden urge to freak rose from deep within. How could they already know she broke the lamp? It was literally a two minute time span between all the stuff that had just happened from her closing the door. "One second!" Zoe yelled towards the door, knowing she would be in trouble if she didn't get rid of the evidence. She looked around the room searching for a place to stash the broken glass. Under the bed? The thought didn't even seem to be one as quickly as it was answered when she lifted the comforter revealing that the bed was attached to the floor with no way of accessing the space under it. "Sorry, I was just changing! Be right there.. Almost done."

Zoe only thought of one more place, the lid of the toilet. Placing her knee on the seat of the toilet, she lifted the back lid slowing to make sure no sound would escape to the front door. She realized she would now have to set each individual piece in there if she wanted to be smooth or placed the whole towel in there. Of course, she went with the last. She reached for the bathroom door only to be reminded of it's nonexistence. Rolling her eyes, she finally approached the door. To her surprise there were no faculty members on the other side, but a boy who seemed to be a student here as well. "Hi." That was the only word that made it through her lips as she felt a huge boulder lift from her shoulders.

"You can come in?" She didn't know the rules for boys in girl's rooms, but at this moment she didn't care. She straightened out her clothes before realizing she hadn't changed like she said she did. Giving the boy an awkward smile, "I put back on my original clothes..." Hearing her own words made her cringe at how stupid she sounded. "I'm Zoe." That a girl, nice save from stupidity. She waited for the boy's response as she let her shoulder fall against the door that read 10.
