Bucky's POV

I ran to Eliza's locker and slammed the door in her face.

"Seriously?" She asked.

"I need to know what happened last night." I said.

She didn't answer, all she did was look at the floor. I looked at her for a second then snapped in her face to bring her back to reality. She blinked then looked at me.

"What happened last night?"

"Um," she breathed in. "Zed got hurt, I just got a minor headache."

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't a minor headache. You zoned for like 10 seconds."

"I'm not sure. I think it's a head injury."

I put my hand on her head gently. "The bad news is Missy and Dale won't let me cheer untill they meet you."

"That's Bad?"

"I guess it's not, but... There's a pep rally in a few days, so..."

"You want me to go meet them today, huh?"

"Please?" I begged.

She rolled her eyes, playfully and punched my arm. "Why not,"

The bell rang as Eliza grabbed her items.

"Let's go," I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lunch~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eliza's POV

I sat at the table with Bucky and the Acey's. Everything was quiet here untill Lacey asked, "Is Bonzo Dating anyone?"

"No, Why?"

"No reason, Bye!" She got up, grabbed her tray, and left.

I looked at Bucky. He shrugged, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the Zombie safe room.

"You had to bring me here?" I asked.

"Yes, it's an awesome place." He took my bag off, put on the ground, then grabbed my hand, and pulled me closer to him.

Our faces were inches away. Then the bell that dismisses lunch rang.

"OH, COME ON!" We yelled at the same time.

He turned towards me and said, "I need to tell you something that nobody knows, besides Addison."

"Okay, go ahead."

"My parents are in the army, both of them. That's why I'm living with Addison."

"I know how you feel."

"No you don't."

"Yes, I do. My dad is in the army. I haven't seen or heard from him in years."

"Neither have I."

I gave him a hug and nuzzled my face into his chest.

After school

I walked with Bucky and Addison to her house. She opened the door and said, "Mom, Dad, we're home!"

Bucky and I followed Addison into the house. I looked around as I walked through the hall.

We entered the kitchen where Addison mom was doing work while her dad was on the phone. Addison's Mom looked up and smiled. "This must be your girlfriend." She walked up to us. "I'm Missy, that's Dale."

"Nice to meet you."

"I'ma go see Zed. Bye, dad!"

Dale waved to Addison before going back to his phone call.

"Come on, I want to show you to my room."

He pulled me to his room that had blue walls and posters.

"Wow..." I said as he sat down on the bed.

"So, you ready for basketball tryouts?" He asked as I sat on the bed beside him.

"Yup,"

~~Basketball tryouts~~

Marty, a guy that I just met, and I were exercising when Bucky came in. I waved at him and went back to exercising.

"Okay, Line up!" The coach said.

"I'm Couch Tartsah, Today, you will be doing drills. The first one you'll be doing is running back and forth ten times." He put a whistle in his mouth. "Go!" He blowed the whistle.

I finished before Marty.

"You tired?" He asked, panting.

"No, my heart rates back to normal."

He playfully rolled his eyes.

After tryouts, I took a sip of my drink when I felt someone hug me. I put my drink down as they let me go. I turned around to see Bucky. "Hey,"

"Good work,"

"Thanks,"

"So I was thinking, ya now, since your my girlfriend now and everyone knows... Let me find a way to put it."

I picked up my bag and we walked down the hall.

"You know how at every Pep Rally I jump out of my face?"

"Which is really, really weird."

"Instead of just me, we should have your picture up there, too. You can jump out of your face."

"Who wants to jump out of their face?"

"Me, people love me."

"Your crazy,"

He laughed. "I know you'll make the team."

I smiled and playfully pushed him.

"But, Please, I already made the design."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, but I have to see it first."

He took out his phone and gave it to me. I took it from him and looked at the picture. It was a picture of me and him, but in pink. I had my arms around him while he held up Jazz hands. I gave the phone back to him. "I like it."

"So.. that's a yes?"

"Yes,"

We sat their in silence, still walking down the hall, untill I said, "I thought you didn't like Zombies."

"I didn't, but when you actually get to know one, their actually pretty cool."

"When did you start liking them?" I coughed. "Us,"

"Remember the homecoming game?"

I nodded.

"I had Stacey, Lacey, and Tracey turn you guys into Zombies, and when Zed was going after me, he stopped. Like he didn't want to do it."

"Oh.."

"I promise I won't do it again."

I nodded and said, "So thats when you realized that we were good."

He nodded as I smiled.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you." He pulled me to the main hall.

I put my hands over my mouth when I saw what was on the ground. I picked it up and petted it. "A puppy?" I asked.

"I know you were jealous when Zoey got one."

"Yes, I was."

"Come on, I'll walk you home."

Once I got on my house, I sat my puppy down in my room and thought of a name.

A few hours later, I got a text from Bucky. I replied.

Buc?: Eli, have you thought of a name yet?

Me: No, not yet ?

Buc?: Are you ready for tomorrow?

Me: Yeah...

Buc?: Your nervous,

Me: No.. why would I be nervous?

Buc?: You put dots after a word. I know your nervous.

Me: okay, yeah, I'm nervous. If I'm not good enough, I'll never make the team. ? ﾟﾘﾢ

Buc?: You are more that good enough. ?

Me: ? Awww,

Buc?: I'll see you tomorrow, love you ? ﾟﾒﾚ? good night ? ﾟﾌﾌ

Me: ? so many emojis. Love you, too. Night ? ﾟﾘﾴ I'm already sleeping

Buc?: ?

Then I realized that's the first time he told me he loved me. I put my phone down, picked my dog up, layed him on the bed, and got in bed. I put a hand on him and looked at him. "Bubu," I smiled and fell asleep.
