└ posted on Wednesday, 29 September 2021, by Novil
- Sign: Audition – Today!
- Sandra: Zoey, what are you doing here?! Do you want to apply as a guitarist?
- Zoey: No. I’m mad because it’s been raining all week and my tennis tournament has been cancelled.
- Zoey: So I thought I could kill some time and make fun of you, your band, and the applicants.
- Sandra: Zoey, go away!
- Zoey: Ha! You can’t make me!
- Zoey: According to section 789.b of the school regulations, every student is allowed to stay in the music room unless barred by a super-legal emergency declared by the Senate!
- Sandra: Why does my nemesis have to be so athletic, smart and well-read?!!

Why is Zoey so good?
Because she’s the Nemesis. It’s in the job description.
Something must be done to vanquish this Dreaded adversary.
Quickly! Get me a envelope, a pen and a handful of flour: nothing clears a room faster than a fake anthrax-letter!
Praise be. My prayers have been answered!
ah yes, the worthy adversary. How undesirable…..
@ Reverend Henderson:
Ah yes, the old nuke the city to rid the spiders in your attic strategy.
Sandra, you left out ‘pretty’!
Perhaps they can let Zoey tell the “you’re the player I’ve expected the worst player to be” applicants just how bad they are.
Relax Sandra, at least she can’t play guitar.
That we know of.
Yet.
I get that she’s the main antagonist, but this is the first time I remember her being an actual antagonist to Sandra for once.

@ Ratfox:
And don’t forget the elections of head of the class
In the other hand is a Larissa’s good friend (how have a feud with Michelle. When this four are together are very fun)
Aw yiss!
Well it’s a common trope that girls bully the person they are attracted to, like like or love and Zoey is a lesbian so maybe that’s why she acts all antagonistic as an excuse to be close, just saying lol
I assume Zoey is the Senate…

Quality Nemesis.
That hair-twirl though! So malevolent.
You get assigned one that’s a match to you, duh.
Sandra… the solution is simple.
Considering you just complimented her a lot which implies hidden respect. The solution is to get her to compete with Cloud instead of you for you.
@ AnotherBear:
She wouldn’t be a worthy opponent otherwise.
Ha! I knew Zoey was gonna be in this story arc!
Okay, I actually didn’t know… but I was rooting for it!
#teamzoey
Smite her with her own book. ‘And what does that tome say about tolerances for bullies?’
Give her a kiss, Sandra! That should discombobulate her!
@ Nachikethass:
No, she’d love it! That’s probably part of her antipathy to Sandra in the first place. Poor old Zoey – if she could only find love and stop havng to hide her inclinations, she’d probably be a much nicer person.

YET

…but… she has a girlfriend, whom she openly takes to her tennis matches.
This arc as Sandra is kind of both ringo and yoko…I’m ok with her being the butt of every single joke
@ Raen:
Is she still around?

We saw her in the last arc to feature Zoey. And even if she’s not still around, the fact that she was means Zoey’s not closeted anymore.
Which is why Sandra should give her an ironic smooch, Bugs Bunny style.
I suppose one must respect Zoey’s . . . . .okay, I have no idea what to call it . . . . psychotic honesty? Honourable aggravation? Irritating competence? Eh, I suppose if one is judged by the quality of one’s nemeses, Sandra is A-1!
I mean what exactly would she do without Sandra and woo? She’s like the Joker and Sandra is her Batman!
The Joker never hurts the Batman because the Batman completes him and without the Batman…Joker’s life would be boring. The Joker’s simply likes to mess with Batman just like Zoey likes to mess with Sandra

The first time we saw Zoey in the comic, she was saying (presumably) mean things about Sandra. And during the swim center story, she literally walked on Sandra. While she’s had some more sympathetic appearances, she clearly retains a major mean streak.
“My nemesis” starts playing.
