Life Goes On | Wyatt Lykensen

Chapter 19

After dropping off Zoey, the two girls continue walking through Zombie town.

"Eliza, am I your favorite person?" A-Lora ask looking over at the zombie with pleading eyes.

Eliza chuckles, "You sure are."

"You're... special" Eliza say's smiling, "...In a good way that is."

A-Lora smiles excitedly, having overheard Zed ask if Eliza had liked Addison more than she liked her. "Oh much thanks to you Eliza. You are also one of my favorite people."

"I am happy we are friends. You have been kind to me Eliza. I have also learned much information from you."

For what seem to be the 100th time Eliza smiles towards A-Lora.

"We'll I've also started learned to how view life differently thanks to you A-Lora. You're honestly so cool."

The two girls smile at each other as the time dawns in. Not wanting to get in trouble, Eliza say's a quick goodbye to A-Lora while pointing her into the direction of the gates before heading home.

A-Lora makes her way home, thinking about all the cool things she experienced at the Zombie mash.

It gave her hope that one day soon, she could stop hiding her true identity and get to know her friends as her true authentic self.

The next morning, A-Lora wakes up to the delightful smell of pancakes.

Excited, A-Lora rushes into the kitchen to find Amelia plating strawberry pancakes.

"Happy morning Amelia." The older women looks up from the island and smiles at A-Lora.

"Happy morning dear. I made your favorite." Amelia motions to the plate infront of her.

A-Lora takes a seat as she begins to eat her breakfast.

"Slow down honey, you're pancakes aren't going anywhere." Amelia laughs out as A-Lora's face becomes flushed with embarrassment.

"sorry Amelia, I'm just really excited for today."

"Aww that's good to hear dear." Amelia stops infront of A-Lora, "If you're not busy today after school, I have a surprise for you dear."

A-Lora freeze's and her eyes go wide. "Can I inquire as to what the surprise is?" A-Lora smiles hoping Amelia would tell her what the surprise is.

"No can do honey. You'll just have to wait and see." Amelia smiles at A-Lora as she walks off.

A-Lora quickly finishes her breakfast, then gets dressed and heads off to school stoping to pet Gadget before leaving.

Upon arriving at school, A-Lora heads in looking for Addison. After wondering the halls for sometime, A-Lora finds Addison walking along the wall mindlessly.

"Happy morning Addison." A-Lora smiles at her friend as the two begin walking together.

"Morning Alora. I don't think it's much of a happy morning though."

A-Lora frowns, "Is everything okay?"

Addison sighs and looks down, "I got caught by the Z-Patrol last night and my parents were really upset. So I told them I was out with a guy. Now my parents won't allow me to cheer unless they meet the guy who I was with."

A-Lora nods slowly, halfway understanding what the problem was. "So can they just not meet Zed? I think they will like him."

"I wish that was the case Lorry but my parents hate zombies."
