A Prelude to Left 4 Dead

A distant voice called out her name, but the girl barely heard it.
"Zoey!" came the voice again, this time louder and accompanied by the rapping of an agitated fist upon the bedroom door. Zoey opened her eyes, just to squeeze them shut again.
Ugh, my head...
Her bedroom lights were still on, and she could hear her alarm clock blaring on her night stand right next to her head. Both did not help her hangover at all. The young girl had snuck out the night before to celebrate her graduation from highschool with a group of her friends. It was the first time she had ever drank alcohol, but she had to admit, it was a fun night. But now she was paying for it.
Zoey glared at her alarm clock, finding the will power to slam the snooze button and stop the buzzing, which had apparently failed to wake her up. It showed nine o' clock in the morning; she had only just gotten home two hours before.
"Zoey Anne Moretti! You had better be awake and dressed!" came the voice again, this time exasperated. It was Zoey's mother, Kathy Moretti. "The graduation ceremony starts in two hours!"
"I, uh..." Zoey began, trying to find something to say to calm her mother down while fighting to sit up against the pounding in her head. "I'm almost ready, mom. I'll...er...be out in a few minutes." She heard a scoff come from behind the door, betraying her mother's skepticism.
"Hurry up. We're leaving in a half an hour."
Zoey finally sat all the way up in her bed, discovering that she still had her clothes on from last night. A slight breeze tousled her long black hair, and she looked over to her window to find it still open. She never closed it after sneaking back into her room, she reasoned to herself. After rubbing the sleep from her eyes, and taking a deep breath, she swung her feet over her bedside. She looked around for a few moments, then stood up to get ready for her graduation ceremony. She'd have to find her gown, and get all cleaned up within a half an hour. She cringed, and began heading towards her bathroom.
But first, some aspirin...
