searching for the dvd. i think i maybe said some things i shouldn’t have.
SnowAngel:
ooo, like what?
zoegirl:
like that i don’t agree with the whole friends-with-benefits philosophy. like i think that works out great for guys, but not so much for girls.
SnowAngel:
i don’t think that’s a bad thing to say. why is that a bad thing to say?
zoegirl:
i’m just worried i came off a little harsh. i kept talking and talking, and all these words came out of my mouth, like … word-vomit. somehow being with maddie just brings that out in me.
SnowAngel:
word-vomit. lovely. it’s pretty hard to offend maddie, tho. i’m sure it was fine.
SnowAngel:
so did u notice my parents and how freaky-deaky they’re being? they’re thoroughly hiding something. it is so obvious.
zoegirl:
huh
zoegirl:
well, whatever it is, i wouldn’t worry about it.
SnowAngel:
???
SnowAngel:
what happened to “i’m sure it’s something good” and “maybe they’re taking u to hawaii!”
zoegirl:
nothing, it’s just
SnowAngel:
just WHAT?
zoegirl:
ok, fine. your dad *did* seem a little off.
SnowAngel:
how so? tell me, tell me, tell me.
zoegirl:
i don’t know. he didn’t stick around and tease us the way he usually does.
zoegirl:
i guess he just seemed strung out.
SnowAngel:
cuz it is no doubt very exhausting doing price comparisons b/w PT Cruisers and VW bugs. omigod—do u think he’s getting me a bug?!!
zoegirl:
er … i’m not sure that was the vibe i was picking up.
SnowAngel:
if i got a bug, i could put a daisy in that little flower-holder thing. i think that is so cute, how they come with their own little vases.
SnowAngel:
but a used car would be ok 2. ANY car would be ok. then i wouldn’t have to rely on u and maddie all the time.
zoegirl:
i know i said to stay positive, but what if it’s not a car?
SnowAngel:
what, now u think it’s something bad after all? like that my parents r getting a divorce, or that my dad’s got cancer?
zoegirl:
angela, no! i’m sure it’s not that!
SnowAngel:
it’s not like those thoughts haven’t crossed my mind. i overheard my mom talking to my aunt sadie on the phone, and she was saying things like “i’m completely overwhelmed” and “don’t know how we’ll tell the girls.”
zoegirl:
oh crap, angela
zoegirl:
did she mention anything about … anything else?
SnowAngel:
anything else like what?
zoegirl:
hold on—just got a text from mads. be right back.
SnowAngel:
zoe!!! u r supposed to be talking to ME, not maddie!
SnowAngel:
get back here this instant!!!!

zoegirl:
angela’s all freaked about her parents—she brought it up, not me—and i feel really weird about the whole starbucks encounter. should i tell her about seeing her dad with the lip liner woman?
mad maddie:
shit, don’t ask me
zoegirl:
i’m sure it’s nothing, but at the same time i don’t want to be the one to bring it up.
mad maddie:
then don’t
zoegirl:
but if it was *my* dad, i’d want to know.
zoegirl:
i think.
mad maddie:
u think 2 much, zoe. that’s your problem.
zoegirl:
you’re right, you’re right. no need to worry angela over something that could be nothing until we find out for sure!

zoegirl:
hey there, i’m back
SnowAngel:
yr on my bad list *glowers fiercely*
SnowAngel:
abandoning me like that when my father could very well have a deadly disease!
zoegirl:
i’m 99 percent sure your dad doesn’t have a deadly disease. really, i am.
SnowAngel:
so what’s going on with maddie, who’s apparently so much more important than me?
zoegirl:
please. she had a biology question.
SnowAngel:
???
SnowAngel:
u guys aren’t in the same class.
zoegirl:
i know, but mr. mack uses the same exact lesson plans. boring boring.
SnowAngel:
oka-a-a-ay, but i’m taking bio too. why didn’t
