But when Zoes teachers notice that something is wrong with Zoe, she is taken to the school nurse, who then takes her to the school counselor, to find out what is bothering Zoe. Once Zoe discloses that her parents are getting a divorce and she thinks that she is the cause of the divorce, the school counselor intervenes and calls a meeting with Zoes mother.
