"I CAN'T DO this anymore. There's something you need to know" I said facing my parents

"Okay"
"Now we're getting somewhere"
"Now we're getting somewhere"

"He's-" I got cut off by the doorbell

"Here" My mom said as she fix herself "Whoa. Whoa. You do not wanna open that" I tried stopping her "Where are your manners?" "Don't be ridiculous"

"Okay, fine. Open it. Yes, my date to the Homecoming game is-"
"Handsome"

I was confused so I went towards the door to see Zed but human(?) How did this happen?

"You look-"

"Dashing" My dad said as Zed gave the flowers he was holding to my mom, "Thank you. They're beautiful"

"So... How do you know my daughter?" My dad asked as he walked forwards "She's a cheerleader and I'm on the football team" Zed replied

"No, really?"
"Really"

"You know, I used to play a little ball myself" My dad chuckles "He did"

"Really?" Zed asked "Really. I was a fullback" Dad respond "Get out. I'm a fullback" "No!" "Yeah!"

"Lets do this!"

"Lets go Mighty Shrimp. Break! On five!" They both said at the same time as they high five at the end

"That was amazing" Mom complemented "That's what I'm talking about!"

"Okay! I'm getting out" I squeeze between them "Nice meeting you" Zed said before I dragging him with me but my mom stopped me "Y/n, he's such a nice boy" "Such a nice boy. Where did you fig him up?"

"I'll see you at the game!" I said leaving them to Zed "How did you turned into... This" I said demonstrating his whole body "I adjusted my Z-Band" he told me "I can feel the energy coursing through my bones right now. It's awesome. Hey, we still got time before the game. I owe you a real date" He said walking away "A date?" "Yup" I squealed before catching up to him

"Like I said. A proper date" Zed said as we made it to the Ice cream place "Mmhmm" I laughed as I went inside the place, I look behind and didn't see Zed behind me "You okay?" I asked him as I went back outside "Yeah. Yeah, I'm all good. Eliza was wrong. Nothing bad happened. I'm completely fine. Yeah, After you" He said as he shaked "Okay, then" I said before going back inside with him behind me

"Vanilla, vanilla, double-vanilla. Guess the next one" I said after reading the sign "Vanilla"

"Yeah. How'd you know?"
"You guys got a wide variety."

"Of vanilla" I laughed

"Here you go" The waitress said giving us our ice cream "Oh, thank you"

"You're welcome"

"This is so Seabrook" I said rolling my eyes "Hey, you know what? Vanilla works" Zed said with his mouth full of ice cream

I laughed, "I guess" "I've always wanted to come here. Now finally, here I am with you on a date" He said as nodded "This is so great. Right?"

"Is it really?" I asked "Yeah. Look at us. We're together" He replied "But you're forced to be someone you're not... Here and on the football field."

"So, you wear a wig to fit in" He said as I shifted in my seat "Why can't I do the same thing with my Z-Band. Why is that so bad?"

"Because it's not right" I said after covered his Z-Band with his sleeve and left my hand there before he moved it "We're changing ourselves when what needs to change is everybody else"

"Y/n/n, we're gonna make this work, okay? Everything's great trust me. I'll dial myself back to zombie and win the game"

I was sitting next to Addison, thinking about Zed, as she does Bree's hair, "Take your pom-poms out there today, Bree" Addison stated "But I'm not a starter" Bree told her

"Who says? Its time things changed around here" I said after I stopped thinking

"Well, it's been a season to remember. And it all comes down to the final seconds of this year's Homecoming game." Announcer said

"Time out, time out!"
"Unbelievable! Mighty Shrimp are down by five. They called their final time out"

I saw Zed sat down on a bench. I looked around and jogged over to him, "Hey. You okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Uh.. almost there. I do this and we win"

"Y/n" I heard behind me. I looked behind me and saw Bucky "I have to go but I'll be cheering for you" I said to him as I placed my hand on his cheek then left "Y/n!"

"Give me a 'zom!" I yelled to the crowd

"Zom!"

"Y/n" Bucky said

"Give me a 'bie'!" I yelled again

"Bie!"

"Hmhmhmmh" Bucky waved his hand in my face "You're are way too good of a cheerleader to throw your life away, Y/n"

"I'm cheering for a change, Bucky" I said pushing him back as the other cheerleaders gasp "Don't do it!" Bucky demand

"Give me a 'Zom'!"

"Zom!"

"Y/n!" Bucky warns

"Give me a 'bie'!"

"Bie!"

"Im warning you!" He said I looked right in his eyes and yelled, "What does that spell?!"

"Zombie!"

"Last chance" He warns again

"What does that spell?" I yelled again

"You're off the team, you freak!" Bucky yelled "I never wanted to be in your stupid team anyways!" I said to him I threw my poms at him and walked to a bench

"Go, Zombies!"
"Go, Zed!"

I heard Addison and Bree yelled

"You're off the squad, too!"

"Touchdown! And Seabrook wins the game"

I Cheered for the win of the day but stopped when I saw the other team run away from Zed, "What's going on?" I asked to myself. The Z-Alarm started going which gave me the answer "Oh, shit" I mumbled and ran when I saw Zed chasing Bucky

"Zed, zed, zed, baby" I said kneeling down "Take my hand. Everything will be okay" I said grabbing his hand "Just listen to me. No, no, no. Why are you taking him?"

"No! Please! Zed. Please, come back" I said as they both stand up "No, please!"

"Y/n. Stay back" Dad said as he reached to me "No" I yelled as chased them "No!"

"Hey! Hey!" I called out

"Threat neutralized, bringing them in"

"Gus! Hey, these are my friends" I yelled

"We don't have human friends" Eliza cried. I gasp for air as I looked around my surrounding

"We told you, Y/n/n. Zombies are not safe" Dad said "Give them an inch-"

"-And they'll bite your face off" Mom said after him "They'll bite your face off" Dad repeated

"Hey! That's my son you're talking about-" I heard Zed dad called out "I suggest you move along, Mr. Necrodopolis. I'll make sure they look after him. I'm sorry"

"Zed! Please" I called out for him
