Safe to say Zed's first Football game was a total flop for the first half. I couldn't bring myself to watch half the time. I had introduced myself to Zed's father, Zevon, and little sister Zoey, who, might I add, is adorable. Seabrook was getting smashed by the opposing team. "At least the Cheerleaders are amazing." Zoey commented. "Go Seabrook! Go Seabrook! Go Seabrook!"
"We don't clap for Cheerleaders." Eliza commented. I crossed my arms,
"They're all a bunch of skinny whiners." I added. "Well...all except Addison and Bree." I looked at the scoreboard when half time ended. We were down twenty-two points...and we were on zero points. A whole load of people were protesting against Zed being on the team. Zed came and took Eliza away to do something.
"So, how did you meet my son?" Zevon asked. I looked up at him.
"Someone tripped the Z-Allert first day." I started to explain, "Got locked up in one of the Zombie Safe rooms with him. Then I wouldn't leave him alone." I turned back to the field, "Zombies and Humans are the exact same, you guys just have a different diet to us."
"I like her." Zoey said. I looked back and smiled at her.
"I like you too."
"Daddy, can I sit on Waverly's shoulders?"
"Only if she's ok with it." Zevon said.
"No problem." I replied with a smile. I squatted down slightly and felt Zoey's legs rest on my shoulders. I placed my hands on her legs to keep her stable as I straightened. Zoey giggled happily, holding my head. Zed ran back onto the field and Eliza joined the Zombies and I at the back of the stands. We kept an eye on zed. He managed to get the ball and started ploughing through the opposing team. He managed to score, and we cheered.
"That's my son!" Zevon cheered. The last half of the game, Zed managed to score again and again.
"Feel that breeze, it's not a sneeze. Zombies score and run with ease!" Addison chanted. The crowd applauded and cheered for Zed. A Zombie.
"Seabrook wins?" The announcer said sceptically, "Wow! A win!" I watched as Addison ran onto the field and hugged Zed. I smiled, glancing up at Zoey still on my shoulders,
"You know what this win means, right Zo?" I asked her. Zoey shook her head. "This win means that Zombies are gonna be integrated more into school. And maybe when you get to come here, you'll be able to walk freely in school."
"Yay!" Zoey cheered.
