Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Zoe was nearest to the door, so she answered it.
"Athena!" Zoe said. "Thank god you're here. There is something really weird going on." Athena was a gothic girl who was really into the occult. Some people even called her a witch (probably because of how she dressed - black gothic dress and corset), but that was probably just derogatory. She was also Zoe's closest friend.
"Uh ... is Mikey here?" Athena asked.
"Why do you want to know about my brother?" Zoe asked.
Curious as to why Zoe's friend wanted to know if he was there, Mikey got up off the couch and walked to the opened front door. (It felt so weird to walk in boots like those.)
"Mikey, there you are," Athena said. "Let's go."
"Go where?" Mikey asked.
"Mikey, we made plans to go to The Spiked Pit, remember?" The Spiked Pit was a Goth club just outside town.
"You made plans with me, Athena. Not him. What's wrong with you?" Zoe asked.
Athena sighed. "I don't have time for your stupid sister. Now, come on," she said to Mikey, pulling him out the door, then down towards the road.
"Athena, why are you acting like this?" Zoe called out, then she ran out of the house after them.
