More people turned up than expected and our entire group was busy making calls for food, booze and other stuff. Mica's grandmother was shifted to Mica's place in city for safety purposes. So to be short, there were more than seventy people on our list, since they brought along friends and dates.

There was a bonfire set up and people were already getting crazy around it, singing, dancing, making out, the usual.

But I was freaking out. Any minute now the music star will walk in and I have to avoid him, no matter what. I do not want people to see him talking to me because that will mean I will be hawked in school.

"What is the first game?" Leah asked, tugging over Andre's arm as the poor boy was being pulled along.

"You brought him to school game night, no offence Andre." I scolded her.

Andre was a super model and he was already creating a frenzy among girls. But it was not as a scandalous because Leah was also a super model.

"I wanted to be with him." She said pouting her lips at me.

My sister was already a bit tipsy. Andre supported her fully, with his arms around her waist and that look of adoration he kept giving her.

"Fine, go before I kill you both. And gather people for zombie and human." I said smiling at these love birds.

They both nodded and went away.

Okay for those of you who don't know zombie and human it goes like this, one person is selected Zombie while others run in all the directions in order to not get caught, the person zombie touches turn into a zombie and join forces. The game continues till there is last survivor left.

We all gathered for the game and luckily I was not the zombie so we all started running here and there, scattering and confusing our zombie, Dave. I noticed the jock capture two people in his zombie team. Three people slowed him down a bit but they had more reach now, so in next five minutes, ten people turned zombie

It was fun and people were laughing and running like crazy. Brad was far left from me and when he caught my eye, he grinned and I grinned back. As Dave and his army ran after people, girls were screaming in fear of getting caught, but once they were caught they all laughed like this was suppose to happen.

With just five people left as human, we had lot of space to run but the really long chain formed and in whatever direction it moved the zombies were around us.

Brad went next and then there were four, It was getting nerve wrecking exciting since I was so close to victory. The girl in front of me got caught next shrieking like a banshee. Another boy whose name I didn't know and me ran like a mouse. Leah and Brad were shouting something but I ignored them , pretty sure they wanted me loose.

I was getting eased up as I realised the super star was indeed kidding and he didn't have enough time for a stupid game night.

And just by thinking that I jinxed it, as the other boy got turned into zombie and I yelled victor, I realised the boy was holding my hand as well.

"I am not a zombie, I am last surviving human." I explained him with a frown.

"Nope, he is the last surviving human." The boy whose name I didn't know said and I turned getting butterflies in my stomach.

Damn, Weston Hamilton actually won the first game.

"What the hell are you doing here Hamilton?" I snapped at him but he looked amused.
