Recap:
"What did you do this time,Zoey?"Hunter asked walking over observing my treatment from Dr.Zane
"I hit my head"I giggled looking at Zane who grinned an obvious smile
"Psh,your always hurting your self"Hunter grabbed a chocolate bar out of the pocket of his shorts and scarfed it down.
"I had to eat something"Hunter spoke with chocolate in his teeth
Zane pressed and sponged my head laughing at Hunter eating more food from his pockets.
My phone began buzzing in my pocket.I hopped off the counter and Zane pulled back the bloody cloth.I checked the caller I.D.It was the world's most famous clothing designer,Natalie Jewel.My mom.
Chapter 4:That's Zoe Me
"Hello"I greeted
"Hey,love!"I could hear her strong accent and the clicking of her heels in a hallway
"Hi,Mom"I grinned happy to hear her voice
"Look,I'm in town for the weekend.I heard you have school tomorrow"she began in her English accent
"Yeah"I nodded my head and mouthed the words "Mom" to Hunter
Hunter pumped his fist in the air excitedly.
Mom,meant money and new stuff .My mom was our best friend.She tried to visit at least once every month,but it was hard for her as an international designer.The downside,for me, is that she wants me to dress like the mannequins in her boutiques.
Her and my dad were happily married.Hunter was 17 ,and I was 16.He was a senior and pretty popular at school, while I was a junior and practically invisible.
"Well,I want to update your wardrobe with my new line,I named it That's Zoe Me.You'll love it!"she squealed
"Oh-kayyy"I sighed giving into her.
My mom was a great designer.After all, she was "Natalie Jewel",but I didn't have to the time to put together the perfect outfits.It was not in my blood to pick out clothes.I don't know how she gave birth to me.We had her last name,non-traditionally.She wanted to carry on the last name,Jewel.
"Tell Hunter I said hello"a car door slammed on her side of the receiver
"MOM SAID HI"I yelled over to Hunter
"Well, see you later.I'm in the limo now.I love you!"she hurried
"Okay,see you.I love you too!"I hung up and slid my purple iPhone in my pocket
Zane leaned against the counter and his eyebrows were raised like he was expecting a summary of the conversation.
"It was just Natalie Jewel"I shook him off rolling my eyes
"No way"he gasped pretending to be shocked
"Oh calm down,Spidey,she's my mom"I marched over to him and poked his chest
"Be careful,Clumsy, you don't want to slip and fall in that puddle of attitude"he pointed at the ground mocking me and he pressed deeper into the counter as I inched closer
"Shut it you two"Hunter scowled shoving potato chips in his mouth like he was watching a movie
"How do you eat so much food?"I strolled over to the sink washing my bloody hand
"I'm a growing man"Hunter snickered crumpling the now empty bag in his shorts and picking up his tool kit
"We gotta go"he sighed
