The Bench: Zoe and Jon still Go to the Same School

"What the hell are you looking at?" Zoe asked, getting mad at Jon staring at her. Then she went inside the house and slammed the door shut. Jon could hear the conversation through the door. "What was she doing here?" Zoe asked. "You know her?" "She goes to my school...she's real weird. All of those Goth kids are. They stick to themselves." "I found her bag. She came to retrieve it. I'm glad she's gone. We have company coming for dinner." "Again? Do I have to be here? I can eat with one of my friends." "I'd like you to be here," Karyn said. "But if you want to hang out across the street till dinnertime, that you can do." The door started to open again.
