Suddenly there was light - a stark contract from my restful slumber. (I woke up :3) I look over to my 2014 cat calender and notice the day... Oh my goodness! Its the photography competition . . . RIGHT NOW?? I jump out of bed and pull on my skinny jeans and my LA tank top. . Throw my hair up in a messy bun and BOLT ! I cant miss this ! I spent so long going through all my photos deciding what I was gonna enter. I grab a piece of toast and as im running down the street to school.

When I bash through the doors of the auditorium in am just in time to year them announce.

"The winner is . . . . Drumroll please . . . . . (drumrolls) . . . Y/N! L/N" and up on the screen they show my photo entry:

Wow ! And the whole audience claps and theyre all wearing tuxedos - Except for zoe dechanell whos wearing a stripy slip dress as she runs out in tears. 6

Even though im dressed really sloppy for the occasion - everyone keeps coming up to me and complimenting my outfit.

Im meant to do a speech but I would feel better going outside and rubbing my win in zoe dehchanels face, so i make my way through the congratulations and dip outside.

"Are... you okay?" i ask her, sitting down on the dirty curb next to her. I keep my distance because she totally reeks.(not rlly)

"I just... i really wanted to win. I am the new girl," she says crying. I shrug and roll my eyes.

"Yknow, they'll be other photo competitions," i am about to keep talking and say that i would beat her in those competitions aswell but she speaks.

"Its not just that!" she says, wiping her ugly twee makeup from her eyes. "Bojack and i we. . . broke up." I am totally shocked! I ask why.

"Why?"

"Oh just some stupid joke I made about him being all home of sexual with that werid kid (Micheal)" She sighs "You know its not that easy being the new girl"

I am about to be mean to her again but that last bit kinda resonated with me.

"Yeah I know, I Ive been there" Thinking of how only one week ago I was actually the new girl, radiator springs high is only just starting to settle in for me.

"I dunno man I dont think you would get it like I do, its only my 2nd day here" Says zoe

"No way! Mine too!" I say lying really hard, she cant know ive actually been here for 3 more days than that, I just want her to understand me.

"I understand you" she says looking deep into my eyes. Wow.

Maybe zoe twe- dechanell is cooler than I thought.

"Y'now what man, lets ditch this fancy party- theyre too good for us anyways. How about you and I just grab a bottle of wine and take it town to the train tracks, thisnt isnt really my stlye anyways" I stand up and hold my hand out to zoe dechanel - an offering of peace.

"Y/n , that sounds - just . . .perfect." and we hold hands together and walk off into the sunset.

The following week held close this certain purple air, and that day - that convertation between us - just two beings in space - would cast silhouettes upon the rest of our lives, and to know that with such certainty made the conversations we shared feel like opening the memory boxes of a life not yet lived. And we opened and opened and even though lifes daunting facts lingered seemingly infinitely backward and forward - right now, here with her, was calm and well. The purple air rose up from the rusty train tracks and high into the sky as the sun sunk - it's very own gift just for the two of us.

"Hey y/n - this week has been so amazing you know?" and I stare into her eyes and without even saying a word we could both tell how much it really meant.

"It's just been so great to have a friend like you around recently, being the new girl is crazy and I tend to move from school to school and I meet lots of people but I've never really made a connection as special as this". That meant so much to me that I could feel that rush of purple air come back and surround us even in such an ordinary space, right in the middle of the school parking lot. I wouldn't have even noticed the other students around if it weren't for Zoes constantly travelling eyes surveying the crowd.

"And It's so fun to do all of the things we have done - that I never would have done if you weren't there. Like watching all of Big Mouth! and playing through all the GTA games haha, and recording our own indie-folk duet, and going to that death metal show" and as Zoe describes these scenes I watch that same purple air flow between memories and grow from her like a beautiful tree stretching its limbs.

"and riding those bulls at the rodeo, and when you fell in that lake after we went fishing, and when we made those t-shirts for each other - I still wear mine to sleep! - and crying together while we watched the notebook - and making slime together and starting that slime channel and then getting famous on youtube and having to delete our account because people started doxing us". But the whole time Zoe is talking. I just think of that time at the train tracks - and how from such tiny fragile roots grew a friendship so monumental that it will change the course of our lives forever. And I notice that Zoe's eyes are no longer moving - but fixed so steadily on mine.

"and one of the things I am most grateful for is how you have helped me get over bojack and see the beauty of things in a different light, but i've been meaning to tell you. Well . . . uhm i'm not sure how to go about this but Bojack came up to me the other day and asked if Id want to get back together, but I didn't even have to think about it, and I told him that he was a nice guy but it's just - just that there is someone else-"

And then zoe gets hit by a bus and dies on impact.

"THE MIME-POCOLIPS!!!" Screams the bus driver, 'IS HEEEERE"
