It was six in the morning the sun had started to rise and the sky was beginning to turn a light blue. Zoey slowly opened her eyes and then sat up in her bed.
She could feel her hair knotted into an extreme bedhead and drool dribbling down her chin. She stretched her arms over her head while taking a big inhale and putting them down with a big exhale.
She pulled the fluffy white covers off her body with a strong urge to just pull them back over her head and go to back sleep.
She stepped onto the cold floor and grabbed a hairbrush off of her nearby dresser. It took a bit to brush her hair as it was a complete rats nest and some of the bristles on the brush were broken.
She was finally able to tame it into becoming long silky locks that fell to her hips. She wiped her face and took off her shirt and pants so she was now standing in her underwear.
She reached toward her dresser to grab her clothes when she noticed a long mirror against the wall.
Realizing she hadn't taken a good look at her body ever since she reincarnated. She locked her room door, to avoid any awkward situations and stepped in front of the mirror and what she saw pleased her.
She had long orange hair, light skin that had a few freckles and moles, plump and juicy red lips, and her eyes were honestly odd but, an exquisite color of pink. Her body was a little similar to her last.
Her previous height was six foot eight, she was now a good six foot six. She was a bit chubby, she had a stomach that poked out little, soft arms and legs, a bit of fat on her back, her bra size had seemed to increase into an F-cup and her hips seemed even bigger as well.
Zoey had seemed to have forgotten that the body she was looking at was her own because she started to drool. "Wow so attractive and so sexy," she thought. Zoey seemed to realize her thoughts and shook her head to bring her back to reality.
She continued to pose and look at her reflection and whispered, "Woah, this my body, MINE. I can't believe it, so what if I'm a little chubby, I'm fucking HOT! Though that does sound a bit arrogant and egotistical."
Zoey then asked Sky while walking to her dresser "Yo, Sky what time is it and what's it like outside."
[It's 6:20 and its 74° outside]
Zoey was happy as she used to get up at 7:00 because she liked to sleep in and would end up rushing out of the house to get to school, which started at 7:30 but, now she had some extra time on her hands.
Zoey then opened one of her drawers and pulled out a faded peach-colored hoodie, grey sweat pants, a set of sports underwear, another hoodie this time the color black, jeans, a long-sleeved black shirt, and a regular set of underwear.
Zoey put on the sports underwear, the peach-colored hoodie, the sweatpants, and white socks paired with white sneakers. She threw the rest of her clothes and her phone into her faded red backpack and threw it onto her back. She made sure she had everything she needed and silently crept out her room closing the door behind her.
She stepped into the dining room and saw her mother sleeping on the dirty floor. Her heart ached, Chloe had given Zoey and Zack their own rooms when they turned ten and slept in the dining room.
But, even though Zoey wasn't home for quite some time. She knew that being the person she was, Chloe never even thought of sleeping in her room and kept it as clean as she could.
Zoey slowly approached Chloe and scooped her up in her arms. Zoey's heart ached even more at how light her poor mother was. She made her way back to her room and slowly laid Chloe on the bed and gently tucked in her in.
After putting Chloe to bed Zoey searched the house for a pen and paper. Once she found them she quickly wrote a note that said "Mom off to school, don't worry, and get some rest. Love you, XOXOXO Zoey."
She set the note down on her dresser and gave Chloe a gentle kiss on her forehead before exiting silently once again. She walked to the front door and began to stretch her body very intricately. While she was stretching Sky asked.
[Miss Zoey why are you stretching so much, are you planning to run to school? You can just take the bus or teleport or use super speed.]
Zoey then chuckled to Sky "Well first, I'm stretching so much because it's important to warm up before extreme exercise.
Second, yes I am planning to run to school. My body is extremely weak and I need to get stronger and build some stamina. Third, my powers take way too much out of me now it's better to use them sparingly until I can get them to last longer.
Also, I have limited money right now so buses are a no go as well, and I can't become too dependent on my powers. If you read as many comics and watched as many superhero movies as I have, you learn that if you focus on training only your superpowers.
You will be useless if your powers are taken away or you find you can't use them anymore."
[A-ah r-right S-sky didn't think of that m-my mistake S-sky i-is sorry for questioning you]
Zoey shook her head as she responded "No, no don't worry you're just curious and even you can be curious. Curiosity is said to be deadly when really it can also makes life-changing discoveries or save someone's life and so on and so on.
And since I designed you, an incredibly smart super system, and you also received a phenomenal update so you're definitely going to do that. So if being curious is one step towards greatness then I'm not gonna stop you, baby, okay?"
[M-Mmm-hmm]
Sky could only spurt out a high pitched sound to say yes. He felt a swirl of emotions that was hard to bear. He loved that Zoey loved him so much, he was happy Zoey trusted him and he was embarrassed.
Zoey took a look at Sky and bit her to contain her squeals to herself instead of bursting them out loud. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god this cuteness. *Kyahh Gasp* I'm gonna die, SO CUTE! *GAH*"
Zoey had taken a deep breath and pinched her leg to bring her back to reality but, she couldn't help to look at the cute little boy with cherry red cheeks that were ripe for kissing and pinching. By that time Zoey had finished with her stretching and headed out the door.
She walked to the sidewalk and asked Sky again, "Sweetie can you please play some music in my head please."
[Mm-hmm]
Zoey snickered at the fact her little sweetie pie was still embarrassed. She then heard a song boom in her head, "Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold but you will remember me, remember me for centuries!"
Zoey shouted in her mind, "HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS SONG!" and sprinted down the sidewalk with an extra boost and she didn't stop until she reached the gates of her school.
When she arrived, she went around the school building and into the huge girls' locker room. She hung her head down with her hands clutching her knees and tried to catch her breath while also trying to avoid vomiting.
She whispered to herself, "*Gasp gasp gasp gasp hurk hurk* Oh GOD! This girl is really weak and out of shape. *Hurk Hoof Ugh* Geez, I'm all sweaty now, thank GOD these locker rooms are available to students who need to clean up before school."
She then trudged to one of the shower stalls and threw her sweaty clothes into her bag and sat it outside her stall.
She stepped in and immediately loved the feeling of the cool water clearing away the sweat on her body. Her body relaxed and felt an overwhelming serenity.
~~~
When she was finished, she stepped out with a white towel wrapped around her torso and with another towel in her hands drying her hair.
She was reaching for her backpack to get her clothes when a cackle echoed through the locker room, "Have you heard about the Zoey bitch?"
When Zoey heard her name, she quickly ran to a row of lockers and crouched down in front of them. She peeked around the corner and saw three girls standing there. She rolled her eyes and sighed to herself, "Oh these bitches, GREAT!"
