The missing link

A team is like a family

Mrs. Moonie had just told Jason and I that us the two new students, freshmen students were gonna be Adam and Belle and our production of beauty and the beast.

I can see why that was chosen, and why we were the chosen couple. Not to say that we are a couple, no one would ever let that happen.

But you know the beast was seen as a monster, thought of himself as a big ugly beast. And Belle was seen as a freak and outsider from her village looking for adventure.

That whole thing about it's what on the inside that counts not the outside. If only more people believed that. To say that Stephanie, Sophie and Dawn were upset was an understatement.

They can pretend not to hate us in front of an audience, but I'm sure they'll be waiting till show day to try and sabotage us. I'm not sure how since my Zband doesn't exactly work, and Jason doesn't have one.

It was just there to tell me a part from the others. But in the basement I'd already gone and showed them what I really looked like when I introduced myself on the first day even though no one was ever supposed to know.

The zombies know now and so does my sister but not my parents or my cousin or any of the humans. Because I know that theater people and zombies aren't like real humans that they celebrate their differences not hide them.

I just wish my sister would do the same. But she wants to cheer and fit in. Which is so boring in my opinion. I mean you all saw the bottom of every chapter.... Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

That is really good advice and very good deep filled question. I wish more people strived to bet themselves rather than what or who everyone else wants them to be.

The theater team is like a family as most clubs should be like the football team. Joining clubs and fitting in for being ourselves that would be a real win for zombies.

Even though I'm not one, I feel like I identify more with the zombies than with humans. Most of the theatre people were fine with us, but not those that mattered.

Ironically enough siblings to Tracy, Lacy, and Stacey, Bucky's minions. So, why aren't they on the squad? I guess cheer isn't for everybody.

In the office where the coach was and where Zed and principal Lee were they were talking about Zed being on the team, and winning some games if Zed wanted things to be better for the zombies.

If we wanted to come out from the basement and be with the other students. The only bone they were throwing us for now was eating with everyone to come up from the basement for lunch.

That was it, until Zed won games for them. Jason and I were taking the lead in Beauty and the Beast and Zed was trying to turn things around for those that were different by trying to win some football games. Or it was game over.
