"I'm watching her," Erica answered. "I promised Sarah that I would."
"Is Sarah here?"
"Yeah. Actually, Melissa is here too, believe it or not," Erica said.
Jon figured she was talking about Melissa Smith, another one of Sarah's friends. But why would Erica think it was weird for Melissa to be at the mall?
Erica pointed towards a darkened portion of the mall. Jon turned and saw a Goth girl all dressed in black. "Ugh," Jon uttered. "What a freak." But then, as he peered closer, he realized that it was Melissa! She was a Goth girl now, meaning that she probably acquired Zoe's original personality.

As they walked away, Jon tuned out Zoe as he looked back at the changed cheerleader girls (who were definitely no longer cheerleaders). He wondered how different Sarah and her friend Nicole were. He still hadn't spotted them in the mall.
