In the morning Zoe is still next to me in bed tears have dried on my face as I brush my tears away. Since I was home I didn't look like a zombie and I didn't have to. My blue skin purple hair red eyes. Everyone had seen me for who I really was.

Everyone knew the truth. Who I really was. I knew my biological parents were disappointed in Addison for showing off her real hair but now that everyone knew the truth what did they think of me of my birth parents?

Would they be mad at them for not keeping me for not giving me a chance? For not making me look normal like Addison before she did that? Or were they on their side? Did they hate me too? My biological cousin? The normal humans of Seabrook?

Did anyone feel bad for me? What did the theatre people think of me? What did James's parents feel about me that I was different? Did they support us? Did they want me to stop dating their son? Were they afraid of me?

No matter what happens now they couldn't hide me anymore. They couldn't hide Addison's real hair anymore even if they didn't want her out in public with her real hair. Was she in trouble for being friends with me? For helping me?

I looked down and saw Zed's hand in my own as he was curled up by the side of the bed. He'd slept on the floor my hand in his own. Tears falling down his own face. I knew that look he felt guilty. But for what?

I'm the one that should feel guilty. And I had. But even now when I got what I wanted with Eliza I still lost the best friend I ever had my brother. I'd known him my whole life, his parents and sister both. I even remember when Zoe was born.

How could I even know that I didn't belong aside from the fact that I looked nothing like them, at least not without the contacts wig and jacket, and Z-band and my spray paint. I looked just like them with these things but they loved me as me.

I slowly and gently wiggled out of his grip as I crawled over the top part of the bed. Down to the floor not waking up either one of my siblings kissing both their foreheads. I picked out an outfit and my towel and got my shower stuff.

I went into my bathroom and turned on the shower. When I was in the shower I started singing. 

When I got out of the shower I got dressed (outfit 6)And left to go find Eliza. It wasn't fair for them to do this to me and now they knew who I was they knew the truth now biologically human no legal paperwork of me ever existing. All evidence burned to ashes.

I knew the other zombies would be going to the school to clean out their lockers. But, I heard rocks being thrown at my window. I opened it. Hey I called to Eliza. Morning. Wanna help me out? Be right down.

I close the window and and quietly leave my room leaving the still sleeping Zed and Zoe. The door closes as I go downstairs with Eliza. We find out where the cheer championship was going to be and we didn't bother going to school.

I knew that the other zombies had planned on cleaning out their lockers but not Eliza and I. We had bigger plans. More important plans. At the school the cheerleaders were practicing my sister was watching as our cousin was cutting anyone who wasn't anti zombie.

Which turns out to be a lot of people and the Acy's were worried. Bucky what are you doing? They asked him knowing this wasn't good. Don't question me we are cheerleaders we are perfection and that's why we will be perfect at the cheer championship tonight. T: Oh would you now?

Once they were at the school and they were cleaning out their lockers hey it was only supposed to be a temp thing but even though he had no idea where I or Eliza were we knew that we hadn't came to clean out our lockers and there would be no more zombies at the school.

Well until they saw what Eliza and I were up to. Turns out James was with them too and he wanted to come with them. And there Eliza and I were tools and all. I thought your parents didn't want you out in public with your real hair?

Bree asked Addison. They don't but they can't hide it anymore I'm just disappointed in people that they seemed to agree with my parents to hide my sister Farrah. And get rid of any evidence that she even exists.

Except for James's parents they're theatre people like James and accept different. So. at least there's that. But, no one could move me from my spot I'm staying right here. Except then she saw our group. Bonzo picked up Eliza to stop her.

Hey stop don't do that Zed scolded that. Put that down. He scolded us. I feel his arms wrap around me. Ruby stop. He holds me in his arms. What is it that you think we're doing? Eliza asks him. Sabotage. Bonzo states.

No, Zed I- we're offended we would never. Ok, so maybe a little sabotage. No sabotage it's just gonna prove their worst fears that zombies are monsters. They already think that anyways. I say do it I hear a familiar voice call. Addison? I called to her.

As I was released from my brother's grasp. I hug her and James both since he came to support us. You know what Eliza starts. Eliza stop they're agreeing with us. Oh, then I do like this girl after all. No, no sabotage that's not the zombie way.

That's not who we are I'm not a monster I'm a zombie my sister is a zombie and Addison you're a cheerleader you change the world through cheer not through sabotage. And James you and my sister are theatre people you celebrate different just like zombies.

It's not fair! I cry as my brother hugs me. Give me one good reason why we shouldn't go through it anyways? They're never going to change they will always think we're monsters! I will always never exist in humans eyes.

Why should I be the bigger person when this is so?! They wanna see a monster? They'll get her! People agree with her parents. That they would've done the same! I wanna stand out and teach them a lesson!

Sh, sh I know it's not fair sis. I know it's not. I know what they did was wrong but the biggest lesson they can be taught is even after things get hard and no one stands with you that you still stay being yourself in a world full of change.

A world full of people who want to change you and keep you from being yourself. I don't want to fit in! I don't want to be human! I'm a zombie! And I want to show them that! I want to be known and remembered. For people to change their minds and know that I exist.

Look at me Zed lifted my head up. You see this? He wipes my tears away. No makeup comes off. People HAVE seen who you really are as of the game. You've already done that now we need them to see the good in us by not sabotaging them.

Because you will be the one blamed. Zombies will be the ones blamed. And we will never be accepted. You have to be the bigger person because two wrongs don't make a right. So, no sabotage? Eliza asked. No Eliza Addison shook her head. It's not who I am it's not who we are? Come on let's go Seabrook's up next.
