"Zed for prez! Vote Zed for prez, because I'm a zombie, not a zom-can't-be." Zed announced as he handed out flyers. I helped but only gave smiles.

"Okay, here's our platform. We fight for zombie toppings on pizza in the cafeteria." Eliza said as she read off her mental list of injustices.

"Right."

"Get Zombie tongue taught as a second language."

"Good."

"And how to overthrow your oppressors after school club." I laughed at this one but nodded my agreement.

"Eliza." Zed said and she shrugged.

"Sorry, right. Don't over promise."

"But more importantly, we allow zombies at Prawn." Zed said as Addison walked over.

"Good luck, Mr. Future President." The 'blonde' said as she wrapped an arm over my shoulder. I smiled down at her and she returned it.

"Hey Zed, did you hear? Addie's being tested for captain, and she gets to run

cheer practice tomorrow." Bree said excitedly as she ran over.

"It's not a big deal." Addison brushed off but Bree gave her a 'oh please' look. "Okay, it's huge." Addison relented as Lacey spoke up from their booth.

"A huge chance to fail!" I rolled my eyes but held myself back.

"If Addie aces this practice, oh my gosh, she's so going to be cheer captain once Bucky wins. He's so gonna win, because you know, elections, they're just like these big old popu-" Bree started to say and I quickly covered her mouth with my hand. "...What?" She muffled into my hand and I sighed as Zed spoke up.

"Thanks, Bree." He sighed and Bree instantly looked ashamed.

"I know it's weird I'll only be cheer captain if Bucky's president, but..." Addison said and Zed shook his head.

"No, that just means neither of us can lose, because one of us is going to get what we want. And I can live with that." The zombie boy smiled and Addison did the same.

"Me too. You'll do great, Zed." She smiled and he handed her some flyers.

"Zed for prez!" They called as we continued to pass out flyers.

"Meet you in the library at lunch?" I asked Addison and she nodded.

"Of course." Bree smiled as we split up. I walked with Zed and Eliza down the hall as we wolves walked in front of us.

"With cheer fans in Bucky's camp, and zombies and the football team in mine, the school's split right down the middle. Werewolves are the swing vote." Zed said as the two studied the wolves. I just leaned against the lockers next to them with my arms crossed.
