Zelda tried to go after Athena, but a school aide stopped her. Apparently there was a rule about not leaving the school before the school day was over.
"What about her?" she asked, pointing at Athena, who could still be seen walking away.
"There's no one there. Now come on, get to your class."
Zelda looked back at Athena once more, but she was gone, out of view.
She walked towards Jon, who was waiting down the hall from her.
"Hey, Zelda," he said. "Um, why are you wearing that outfit? Are you going cyber like Molly?"
"Who's Molly? And what do you mean by 'going cyber'? I've been like this for years."
"Years? Zelda, the only things I've ever seen you wear are those gothic dresses. But, you know, you do look pretty good in latex."
"Dresses? But that's Athena wears."
"Athena? Who's that?"
"Athena DeVries. Our friend?"
"Is that cousin I don't know about?"
"Huh?"
"Well, you said her name was DeVries. That's your last name."
"What?"
