*Seabrook High*

~Bianca~

I walked down the hall with Zed and Addison to class, right across the Prawn Wall of Fame, trying to finish off my breakfast croissant.

"I really thought we'd all be at Prawn together," Addison sighed. "I thought Seabrook could change." "It did!" Zed interjected. "Believe me, I will find a way to get us to the Prawn."

"Or, we could miss it together." Addison smirked. I stopped chewing. "Addy, you can't skip Prawn, you promised we would go together." I protested.

"For once, I agree with Bianca." Zed agreed. "I'm not letting you miss Prawn.

"If you can't go, I'm not going."

"Well, I like you too much not to let you go."

"Well, I like you too much to leave you behind. I am so not going."

"Ugh, you guys even fight like a perfect couple." Eliza walked up to us. I nodded in agreement. Addison chuckled. "How's it going, Eliza?"

"You know, fighting injustice is keeping me busy." she replied smugly. "And looking good doing it, Zom-bae." Eliza smiled at her.

Bucky walked over on the other side with JC. "I'm thinking the student president should get his own corner office. Let's see if we can move out the math department. Write that down." he said. JC jotted down his notes on a clipboard. "Done."

"Addison! Bianca!" Bucky called from afar. "Time to officially nominate me as president!" he smiled and turned back to JC. "Let's keep it understated, yet extravagant and flashy." I leaned against the railing and "listened" to my cousin.

Addison sighed. "Cheer could be so much more than just pom-pomming for Bucky," she spoke. "Oh, Addison!"

The girl Aceys walked up to us. "Once we're cheer captain, you are so off the team." Lacey said.

"And when I'm cheer captain, you'll be welcome to stay. Because I'll be making cheer about bringing people together." she confidently shot back. The Aceys and I laughed. "That was awful trash talk, Snowball." I smiled. "I know, right?" Lacey agreed. "You'll never be cheer captain, freak." she smirked.

"Woah, freak is a strong word." I interjected. They frowned. "I mean, um, let's just go." The Aceys and I pushed Addison to class.

*SHS front entryway*

The crowd full of cheerleaders and regular classmates clapped and hooted as Principal Lee stepped up to the podium. "Okay, are there any more nominees for president?" she asked. "Just a reminder that being part of student council means that we get to hang!" the cheering almost immediately went silent.

"Anybody, anybody want to hang? Just... anyone want to hang out? Anyone?" There were a few murmurs in the crowd. "Oh, we could come up with our very own complicated high five!" she grinned. "That'd be fun, huh?" She started moving her hands together as a demonstration. I shook my head fiercely in disgust.

"Why do teachers always want to be best friends with their kids?" I whispered to the Aceys, who just shrugged and shook their heads.

The band began playing to stop the principal as the students began chanting "Go!" Suddenly, a banner flew down behind us with my brother's smug attention-seeking face.

"Hi!" he smiled from the back of the crowd, the students cheering. He flipped up to the podium I rolled my eyes. The Aceys cheered the loudest.

"Great news, we have a brilliant and cheer tested candidate running for president this year...me!" he did jazz hands as the crowd went wild. The Aceys started chanting his name as Bucky started dancing on stage.

Suddenly, Bree's zombie crush hit his trumpet into Zed's back, causing him to flip over the crowd and down the stairs. Bucky was still chanting as the student body was staring bug-eyed at Zed.

Zed pushed Bucky aside besides Principal Lee. The crowd started cheering again, God knows why, that entrance was humiliating. "Zombie strong!" Zed hyped.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Zed, and I am running for president!" the crowd, mainly Addison and Bree.

"Zed can't steal my spotlight!" Bucky complained. "What about the whole anti-monster thing?" Principal Lee tried to get him to quiet down, but everyone already heard him.

"Anyone can run for president, Bucky." Addison shot back. "She actually has a point, Mr. Bucky. "What?!" Bucky and I cried in unison. He followed Principal Lee back down the stairs and I headed back to the Aceys.

"A zombie president?" Lacey crowd in disbelief. "Ew!" The Aceys and I whined.

As the first ever zombie president, I will allow zombies to go to Prawn, I will take Addison as my date, and we will get our photo on the Prawn wall of fame. Maybe they'll rename the school after me one day. Zed Necrodopolis High. Preferably before I graduate.

"Okay!" Zed began. "If you vote for me, I will bring you prosperity and awesomeness!" The crowd went wild and started chanting his name, just like they did for Bucky.
