"Y/N/N, I'M SORRY. Maybe they're right. Maybe we shouldn't be together." He said "What? No, Don't say that" I said crying by now "Stop!" I ran after them but stop halfway. I looked to my left and saw other Zombie running "Hey!" I yelled "You did this to him. All of you. He was your monster. You made him feel like he had to risk his life to belong" I started "Because you couldn't deal with someone different but you had no problem using him to win your stupid games" I finished as I turned around

"I wanna scream top of my lungs. Not sitting back won't hold my tongue." I singed "No. Some things are different than we thought. There's more to life than what we're taught. I'm speaking up enough's enough" I kept singing as I wiped my tears away

"Cause I can't go on this way. I gotta wake up and be brave but I know I'll face the fire if I say" I singed as I started walking "I'm gonna stand strong. Nothing's stopping me I'll be loud you'll hear me now. I'm gonna stand tall take it to the top. I'll be free can't bring me down. So I'll rise won't turn back, I won't hide who I am. I'm gonna stand" I singed while I started thinking about the past days

"Done living life inside the lines. Following the rules and playing nice, yeah" I turned around and looked at the people "I'm stepping up with all my strength even if they think it's a mistake won't turn my back, I won't close my eyes. On the edge I'll risk it all it's worth the chance that I might fall so I'm not backing down believe when I say I'm gonna stand, yeah, I'm gonna stand, oh," In my imagination I was going down the stairs from the bleachers and turned around to see Bucky on a bench sitting down

"How can I just forget all the things in my head" he started singing

"Just stand"

"Oh,"

"You just stand"

"And if I stand will I fall trying to-" He singed

"Knock down these walls" We both singed "What if I don't know where I stand" He singed as he stand up

"Stand" I stretched the word "I'm gonna stand strong nothing's stopping me I'll be loud you'll hear me now. I'm gonna stand tall take it to the top I'll be free can't bring me down. So I'll rise, won't turn back, I song hide who I am"

"I'm gonna stand, yeah" I singed again as I removed my wig and let my long white hair out "I'm gonna stand, yeah. I'm gonna stand, yeah. I'm gonna stand, yeah" I singed as I looked at everyone, My parents and sister, Bucky, Bree and finally Zed, "I'm gonna stand" I finished singing as I looked back at the people and started breathing heavily. Everyone started booing but I didn't care and stand confidently

"With the Cheer Championship a few hours away, Bucky is purging anyone who isn't anti-zombie and that's a lot  of people"

I sitting next to my only left friends, Addison and Bree, in the bleachers as we watched as other cheerleaders does there things

"It's been a tremendous day here at the Regional Cheer Championship" The announcer said "And we've already seen a number of high-flying performances you can say they've been cheertastic"

We all three cheered for the other cheerleaders and smiling but mine dropped as I saw my parents as both of them looked at me but turned back around

"I've always dreamed of cheering here, just... soaring in the air as the crowd roared. Flying higher than anyone's ever flown" Bree gasp "That was a stupid dream" She said as she dropped her smile

"No, you will fly one day" I said to her
"As soon as this town gets over itself" Addison said as we chuckled

"I thought your parents didn't want you out in public with your real hair" Bree said putting her hand on my shoulder "They don't but they can't make me hide it anymore. I'm not leaving this seat. No way. My dad's whole patrol couldn't get me out of this seat" I laughed

"I don't know, Bonzo. She has to be here somewhere" I heard a very familiar voice I looked where I heard it from and saw exactly who I was expecting, Zed, "There!"

"It's Zed" I told them "Hm?" Bree hummed "Um... I'm gonna leave my seat" I said "Go!" They told me

"Ruining the Cheer Championship is only gonna prove their worst fear, that zombies are monsters" I heard Zed said "They think that anyway" I told them as I walked towards them "At least you have the guts to stand up for yourself. I say, do it"

"Okay, you know what, Y/n? You're not going to change my mi–wait, you agree with me?" Eliza ask me, I nodded in response "Okay, I like this girl!" She told Zed as she pointed at me

"Sabotage isn't the zombie way it's not who we are, it's not who you are." Zed said as he looked at me "I'm not a monster. I'm a zombie and you're a cheerleader" He said holding my hands

"You're not gonna change the world through sabotage. You change the world through cheer."

"Okay, um, so no sabotage?" Eliza said distracting our staring contest "No sabotage, Eliza" I said smiling "That's not who I am. That's not who we are"

"Seabrook's up next!" Bree yelled. We ran to a better place to see our school do cheer.

"Put your hands together for our defending champions, a tram that needs no introduction-"
"But since we're doing it anyway, it might as well be overblown and flashy. Here are the almighty, outta sighty, Seabrook Shrimp that are mighty!" The announcer said before our school started their own routines

It was going great until some girls feel down, "The sweetest type of sabotage," Eliza started

"Self-Sabotage" We said it together. I high fived her and continue watch the mess that's happening in front of me

"Second in and Seabrook is literally falling apart. There seems to be technical difficulties with Seabrook's audio track."

I saw Zoey go to the stage where the other cheerleaders where and she started cheering, "Let's go, Seabrook Cheer!"

"Get off the stage, Zombie!"

"G, O, go" Zoey continues "Go, Shrimp. Go"

"What is she doing?" Asks Bree "She's changing things... By cheering" I said

"Bht that's not how change works" Eliza told me "You can't just change things with one person and a pair of pom-poms."

"Yeah, you're right. It's gonna take more than just one person. It's gonna take all of us" I smiled "Like theyllt ever see us as normal" Said  Eliza

"They won't" Zed chuckled "Because we're not normal"

"And you need to see that. Zombies celebrate their differences" Addison said "So, let's go out there and celebrate. Cheer Championship style"

"You guys in?" I ask

"Yeah" Bonzo said "So, this is our revolution?" Eliza asks

"Yeah. This is our revolution" I said

"Okay, but does it have to be cheer though?"

"Come on" I laughed
