Meanwhile, Zoe's best friends Athena and Zelda had been looking for her.
Athena was within the fifty-foot range of the Donut Stone. She turned into a geek and walked toward the comic book crowd. Thought of men in tights - in bright colors, not black - filled her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about that last issue of X-Men. Gambit was so hot. What would she say about him on her blog? She couldn't wait to get home and update it.
Zelda had been right next to Athena but had also been barely out of range. So she turned away from Athena and skulked off alone. It was hard to be a lone Goth, but anything was better than giving in to the system and becoming like that bland girl next to Karyn ... what was her name? Zoe?
Stephanie Wright walked right past Zelda. What a disgusting vampire wannabe, thought Stephanie, oblivious to the fact that she herself used to be a Goth until she stepped into the range of the Donut Stone. She would never have guessed that she had intended to talk to Athena and Zelda until only a few seconds ago. Now she was only interested in Sarah McMillan, her idol.
