Another change in preteen Zume's life was the time she spent with Amara. Ever since middle school started, Amara has been doing a lot of extracurriculars. She was a Geek after all. But Noel didn't want Zume spending too much time away from home, so she wasn't in any. Zume tried to spend as much time with her as possible.
But Zume noticed something else- when Amara cancelled a plan or was absent to school, Zume's whole day was ruined. Seeing her best friend was the highlight of her entire day. She had other friends, but this was different and she didn't know why.
