"And another win for our football team, thanks to zombie Zed. So, be sure to show some zombie pride. Oh, yeah, and tickets are now on sale for next week's cheer championship. So, get yours today." The announcer said as Addison, Bree and I entered the cafeteria. People were moving to go sit with the Zombies and that made me smile. Bree had to go to the library and we waved goodbye to her before we went to go sit with the Zombies. Addison suddenly stopped in her tracks and I turned to her intending to ask her why she stopped but then I saw why. Bucky had grabbed her arm to stop her from walking with the Acey's behind him.
"You're either pro-cheerleader or pro-zombie. Decide now." He said and Addison looked confused.
"Wait, what? You don't know how hard I..."
"What's it gonna be?" She looked panicked and I stepped in between them and her. I narrowed my eyes at her cousin and could feel my undead blood boil.
"Back off Bucky." I growled and I could feel myself getting angrier. "Addison doesn't need to justify herself to you and you have no right to make her choose between two things she cares about." I shoved him back a little harder than I thought because he fell. Super strength, oops. The Acey's caught him and the cheer captain stood up, glaring at me.
"It's ok, Lara." Addison said, placing her hand on my arm. She pulled my back and I looked down to see my nails growing slightly. I took a breath and they went back to normal.
"Addison, pro-cheerleader or pro-zombie. What's it going to be?" Bucky asked and I looked back up.
"I... I wanna be a cheerleader. That's all I ever wanted."
"Good." Bucky took her arm and started steering her away.
"Hey, Addison!" Zed called and she looked close to tears when she looked at him. I swear I am going to kill Bucky one of these days. They swept her away and Zed looked confused and hurt. I walked over to the Zombie table and plopped down across from Zed. "Clara, what's going on? Is Addison mad at me?" He had a hurt expression on his face and I felt even angrier at Bucky.
"It's Bucky, he's forcing Addison to focus only on cheer so that she can't spend any time with Zombies." I told him and he looked a little relieved. "I swear, one of these days I'm going to throttle Bucky." I shook my head and Zed laughed a little.
"Thanks, Lara, but it'll be fine. I think we can find a way around Bucky." Zed smirked and I did the same. We formed a plan that would take place on friday and I was honestly very excited.

The last game before the Homecoming game went on as I stood near the cheer squad. Bonzo walked over and I held out my fist. He bumped it and handed me the paper.
"Thanks, Bonzo. See you there." He saluted and walked off. I made my way over to the squad and found Addison on her own. "Hey." I motioned her over and she came over to me. "This is for you." I handed her the paper while making sure Bucky didn't see.
