I just cannot believe how judgmental Zoey is. It doesn't matter who the person is, she'll find some way to nastily comment about them. Like poor Erik here.
/How does Zoey react when she finds out that Kayla has a thing for Heath? She acts like her best friend is stealing away her boyfriend, who she describes as her sort of-ex, and is such a horrible friend for that. How does Zoey react when the hot new paramour deduces that she and Heath are split up? She not only agrees with that, but pretty much says that all ties were broken even before she went to the House of Night. In short, she aggressively tries to drive away any woman who might have the gall to move in on the hot football player she was dating while denying any relationship when talking to the hot theater student she's interested in./
It's true. Zoey is the Native American Bella Swan! Nooo! DX
You're right in that she's trying to have it both ways. She also doesn't want to lose Erik, so she readily agrees with him about her breakup with Heath. Why does she treat guys like toys?
/You know, the scene where Zoey threatens Kayla and considers her a whoreish traitor for taking up with Heath even though Zoey said they were already through. In short, the scene where Zoey acts exactly like Aphrodite does!/
Good point. Calling the kettle black, aren't we, Zoey?
/Second of all, glad to know that Zoey's still just as judgmental and stereotypical as ever. "Oh he couldn't help dating her! He's a guy and she's hot! All men are ruled by their hormones and dicks, after all!"/
*rubs forehead* Yeah, because not like we get enough stuff in the media telling us that men just can't help being shallow because it's in their genes, or some nonsense like that. Besides, Zoey, if you truly believe that Erik was only dating Aphrodite because of her looks, then why do you want to be with him? Why would you want to be with someone that shallow?
/And it really has not occurred to Zoey by this point that Erik probably was dating Aphrodite because of huge social pressure and not because he actually liked her and wanted to? WHAT AN IDIOT!/
This really is sexist. Zoey sounds like every Nice Guy who thinks that all girls are only interested in looks, who think that they only want to date bad boys, and who are utterly and shamefully clueless when it comes to sexual assault. "Huh? But I thought she wanted it."
Zoey saw Erik try to push Aphrodite away and Erik told her himself that he didn't want to be with Aphrodite that way, what more evidence does Zoey need that Erik is unhappy with Aphrodite? Does she think that just because he's a guy, he'll automatically jump for sex the moment that the opportunity presents itself and that he really didn't mean it when he tried to push Aphrodite away?

Poor Erik. He gets no respect in this book.
