Zoe stood outside in the black sunlight, but (just like she figured) nothing happened. Apparently, since she was already Goth, the sunlight had no effect on her.
She turned around and looked at her family through the still-open door. They were all standing there, looking like they were holding their breath or something, and completely silent. She thought about going back in the house, but then she changed her mind. There was a whole new world out here. One filled with people just like her. A world full of Goths. How could she pass up seeing something like that?
So she turned back around and quickly walked towards the street.
