the zombie next door

Ache

everything was going pretty swell except for a couple bumps along the way. i was doing well in school and it seemed like everyone was happy. zombies and humans alike. the happiest among the crop had to have been Zed. he was leading the football season winning every game and Addison was behind him like the cheerleader she was. that was until one quiet night in zombietown.

since Zed and i were neighbors i could throw a rock out of my window and hit his. he didn't have blinds just some raggedy looking curtains. so i could see him if i tried hard enough. i spied regularly in a non creepy way i'm hoping. i would watch him do his homework and i would watch him play with zoey. very tame if you ask me. i just loved watching him he hisself. it seemed like he had changed since school started so it was nice to watch the old Zed sometimes. well on one of my spying nights i had saw him pacing in his room. throwing objects and what really alarmed me, crying. he was sobbing. i tried not to be nosy and let him have his moment but i couldn't help but crack my window an inch to hear what he was yelling. all i could make out was "i fucking hate Addison Wells".

my heart sank. how could the happiest couple in all of Seabrook break up. i listened harder and it turned out Addison had gotten too close with one of the boys on the cheer squad. honestly after my heart ached for Zed's pain i started plotting on how i would finally win over Zed Necrodopolis.

i stared with planning the sluttiest outfit i could get away with for school on monday. Zed and i had math together which was my 3rd period of the day. so i had approximately 15 hours to plan exactly what to say. i thought maybe i could bump into him and drop my books like in the movies. but i scratched that because it made me looks desperate. then i remembered. there was a project planned for monday. we had to bake a pie and calculate its circumference. odd i know but it meant a partner project which had to be done at home. considering Addison was the only person Zed talked to in that class i figured i could ask him if he wanted to just come over and do it at my place since it's literally right next door.
