Perfectionism in Pink | A Zombies FanFiction

19

Who even was the school president last year? 

Josephine couldn't remember even voting for one or seeing a name, so she was confused why for junior year it was such a big deal. Besides the prejudice that blossomed over the summer, nothing new was going on.

Bucky was running for the spot and seeing the boy left Josephine with chills. His eyes always seemed to look like he was a snap away from probably killing the whole school.

Weirdly enough, Zed thought that if he won the president slot he could actually make rules and abolish them such as the one that forbade zombies at Prawn.

That was not how that work, but go off sis.

Not only that, but Josephine had been 100% correct that the cute worker she gave fro-yo to before the school year started was in fact a werewolf. How did she know? 

Because now not were there zombies at the school, but now there were werewolves.

Josephine was used to eating alone at lunch, so when trays joined her table she looked up with a spoon full of pudding stuffed between her lips. A crowd was filling up the table and she wasn't sure she liked it.

Across from her stood Eliza and Zed was already sitting at the zombie's right and Bonzo filled in the left side Josephine. Swallowing the sugary treat, she looked at the zombies in confusion. "What do you guys want?"

"We need your help."

"That's surprising." Josephine snorted, intrigued. She motioned for Eliza to continue with her spoon. "Go on, you've got my attention."

"At the end of next week Zed and Bucky will have to present speeches to the student body about why they should be president." Eliza maintained steady eye contact with Josephine, who continued shoveling the chocolate into her mouth. It took everything for the zombie to not gag. "The two are allowed two to three individuals to speak about why they are voting for the candidate they're voting for."

Josephine looked at her empty pudding sadly and Eliza let out a small sigh of relief. The former cheerleader quickly looked into her lunch box and pulled out another small plastic container and opened it victoriously.

"So what does that have to do with me?"

"Eliza will be going up on my behalf, but all three Acey's will be presenting on Bucky's." Zed jumped in before Eliza could say anything about the eating habits of the human girl. "The votes are split down the middle with zombies versus humans."

"I will not be voting for Bucky."

"Which is why having a human present their case for Zed would really help his chances at winning." Eliza pointed out. When it clicked that they wanted Josephine to go up and talk... she frowned, pausing her eating. "It would a win for all zombies!"

"Plus, you used to be a cheerleader." Zed spoke quickly, not noticing the sag of shoulders from the human. "You know how to say things that would get across to other humans and it would be-"

"Perfect." Josephine whispered out, staring at the half eaten pudding cup. Zed really wanted her to be that again, didn't he? She swallowed thickly and looked up at Eliza. "Why not Addison or even Bonzo?"

"Zag bagg bwanza gor." Bonzo smiled at Josephine, who only blinked in confusion and then looked at Eliza for a translation.

"He was proving a point. Bonzo speaks Zombi and like we said. We got the zombies."

"Addison is really busy with cheerleading right now." Zed looked over at Addison across the lunch room with a sigh. The girl felt eyes on her and turned, her eyes caught Zed's and she waved with a huge grin. Zed returned the favor with a smile, but it faded when she turned back to her table. "She doesn't have time to focus on it."
