Life Goes On | Wyatt Lykensen

Chapter 11

As the two girls entered the Zombie safe room, an automated voice went off, "Zombie safe room secure." At that, A-Lora noticed a figure duck down behind one of the shelves.

"Uhh Addison, I think someone is here." A-Lora whispers to Addison.

"Hello?" Addison calls out into the darkness.

"Hello?" A male voice calls back out to her.

"Hello?" A-Lora calls out in confusion.
As she holds onto Addison. The two girls slowly making their way closer to the figure.

"Why hello." The male voice calls out in a flirty tone.

"Hey watch it." A-Lora snaps at the mysterious voice.

"Yeah don't get any ideas buster. The only thing more deadly than my high kick is my low kick."

The two girls continue inching forward as A-Lora follows up on Addison's response slightly confused with what she meant. "Her low kick is deadly so you better watch out."

The two girls halt as the male voice calls out, "I'm sorry," he takes in a breath before continuing, "This just isn't how I was expecting my first day at a new school to go."

A-Lora slightly chuckles in agreement with the mystery guy.

"You weren't expecting to be trapped in a Zombie safe room?" Addison calls out confused.

"Oh, no, that I expected. That happens to me all the time." A-Lora looks up at the tall figure across the room confusion clear on her face, "It does?"

"Yeah it's sorta my thing." The mystery guy let's out a soft chuckle as the two girls laugh along with him.

"So does this mean Im not gonna get low kicked?"

Addison looks over at A-Lora as she smiles, "Your safe for now."

"Good," he laughs again, "Cause today's a big day. I'm trying out for the football team."

A-Lora's eyes perk up, "Does this mean we're all having a big day?" Addison nods in agreement, "Yeah, we're trying out for the cheer squad."

"That's a tough gig to get." A-Lora looks over at Addison, wanting to hear what she has to say

"Yeah, but I love it. My parents have had me in cheer camp since forever."

"My dad doesn't even think that I'm gonna make the team." The mystery voice calls out sadly.

"What?" Both Addison and A-Lora call both stunned by the doubt the mystery guys dad had in him.

"I'm positive you'll make the team." A-Lora says softly Addison humming in agreement.

"Yeah you just need someone to cheer for you. And soon, fingers crossed, it'll be like, our job." Addison calls out as she throws up crossed fingers.

"So... I'm Zed. What's your guy's names?" The mystery guys ask as he moves closer standing in front of the two girls.

"I'm Addison," Addison then leans towards A-Lora, "And I'm Alora."

"It's nice to meet you." Addison finishes for the two. At that, a robotic female voice sounds throughout the room, "All clear." After that the lights turn on and Addison screams, which caused A-Lora to scream followed by Zed.

Amidst all the chaos, Addison had slapped Zed, causing him to wince in pain.

"Wha- Oh Zed I'm so sorry." A-Lora snickers as she watches the two.

"My parents have always thought me that Zombies are disgusting dead-eyed freaks but... you're not hideous at all."
A-Lora frowns in confusion as she watches the two, she was certain that something was happening between the two but couldn't figure out what it could possibly be.

"Thanks. I'll take it." Zed smiles skeptically.

"My parents have always hated Zombies since one bit my grandpa's ear off."

"But now we'll just talk your ear off." Zed jokes and A-Lora laugh's finding the joke funny.

"There you are! Who's this with you?" A sharp voice calls from the entrance.

In walked a guy who looked to be a cheerleader with short and black curly hair followed by two girls and another guy with black hair that was slightly longer than the first guys hair.

"Ew!"

"Nasty!"

"Zombie germs!" The three spewed a variety of insults at Zed as the first guy ran up to Addison pulling her away from Zed.

"If you ever touch my cousin again it won't be pretty. And stay away from her too, she looks like good cheer material. But as you can see this is off-brand for me." The guy now know as Addison's cousin gives Zed a dirty look and as he holds out his hand the other guy sprays what could only be assumed to be sanitizer onto his hand.

"To the cheer tryouts. Seabrook awaits." He snaps his fingers as he wraps his arms around Addison dragging her away.

One of the girls comes over to A-Lora, linking arms with her, "Come on girl you do not want to be stuck here with the Zombie." The blond girl glares at Zed as A-Lora sends him a soft wave while being dragged out by the blond cheerleader.

Almost ten minutes later A-Lora found herself in the gym spotting the number twenty-eight and standing next to Bree. "I feel sick. Addison why am I trying for cheer?"

Addison smiles as she turns towards A-Lora, "Because Lorry, we can change the world through cheer." A-Lora smiles back at Addison unsure, if she really wanted to commit to something so huge.

A whistle goes off catching everyone's attention. A-Lora looks over to who blew the whistle to see Addison's cousin who she's come to learn is Bucky.

"Ok, let's go! line up. Welcome to cheerleading tryouts." Bucky smiles at everyone.

"It's nice to see so many... wannabes." A-Lora frowns at his words as she looks around at the other candidates.

"I mean we'd want to be us too if we weren't already on the cheer squad."

Bucky let's out a laugh causing a few others to join him in laughter. Immediately after, he stops scaring the crowd into silence, casting a very stren look.

"You need to bring it okay? Like my assistant captains." Bucky turns facing the three cheerleaders who were with him in the Zombie Safe room just moments before.

"First up we have Stacey." He motions toward thr dark skinned girl who had her curly hair up in a ponytail.

She steps forward and smiles at the crowd. After that he motions to the blond cheerleader, "Lacey." She steps forward as she smiles at the crowd.

Bucky motions to the final cheerleader, "And Tracey."

"The Aceys." Bucky finishes as the crowd begins to applaud them all.

"Today's tryouts are going to be easy." A-Lora let's out a sigh of relief as Bree smiles at her.

"The hardest thing you'll have to do is a backhand spring, funky chicken, round-off match table split with a robot down powering finish."

A-Lora looks over to Addison confusion prominent on her face, and Addison sends her a reassuring smile.

"Afraid?" Bucky looks around at the crowd.

At that, Addison raises her hand, "Yes Addison."

"Captain Bucky, was that funky chicken cajun or shake-n-bake?"

"Well, I've never heard of cajun, so spice it up."

Addison looks over at Bree and A-Lora, "We got this." She smiles. A-Lora nods not completely confident in her skills.

"The mighty shrimp don't think small. Cheer until it hurts." Bucky shouts out as everyone begins to cheer again.
