Zoe was in her room lying on her bed listening to some loud heavy music which always drove her mom mad, when her phone buzzed.
Without moving from her position Zoe reached over to her bedside table and picked up her phone. She saw that she had a text from her friend Athena.
"Hey Zoe! Come over. You won't believe what I've got to show you!"
Zoe was intrigued. Athena never got this excited about much so this must be important. Zoe texted Athena back saying that she was on her way.
Now the tricky part. Getting out of the house without her parents (particularly mom) noticing. Technically she was grounded at the moment for arguing over what to wear to her aunt Sharon's birthday meal.
Zoe opened her cupboard and grabbed a pair of boots and slipped them on. Leaving her music playing Zoe opened her bedroom window and started to climb out.
Near her window was a tree and Zoe had discovered at an early age that she could reach one of the branches from her window and then shimmy up to the trunk and then climb down.
After carefully climbing down Zoe checked to make sure her mom hadn't noticed and then headed off to Athena's.
