It would be an understatement to say Principal Lee was angry at the designs on the wall, she was furious. She questioned all of us at school, but no one uttered a word. Since there are no cameras or evidence, she can't punish any of us.
I'm standing in the cafeteria, searching for Zed. That's right, Zed finally convinced me to eat in the lunchroom instead of the basement. As I'm searching, a hand touches my arm. I turn around, coming face to face with Addison.
"What do you want?" I ask her.
"Can we talk, please?" I shrug, and she takes that as a yes. "I don't know what I did to upset you or make you angry with me, but I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that I didn't realize what was going on between you and Zed. You two like each other, and I shouldn't have tried to get in the middle of that. I hope, at some point, we could be friends?"
I'm taken back by her apology. No human, has ever uttered the words I'm sorry to me. "I'm not going to apologize for my behavior, because that's just how I am. But...thank you for your apology." Addison smiles, running off to her human friend.
Zed smiles when I take the open seat next to him, his hand finding mine. Eliza gags at us, and I playfully stick my tongue out at her.

Football. Still not a big fan of it. But, it still makes me happy when people get hurt. It's the homecoming game, and I'm not entirely sure why people are so much more excited about this game than the others.
I don't pay much attention, instead I braid Laken's hair while her and Zoey cheer along with the cheerleaders. She smiles and gives me a hug when I finish.
The crowd suddenly makes a noise of pain. Raising my head, I find Zed on the ground, tackled by five or six other football players. The players quickly get off him, and begin running away. My eyebrows furrow and I stand to my feet, hoping to get a better look. Zed rises to his feet and turns to face the crowd. His face, once a grayish white, is now covered in black, green, and purple veins. So are his arms.
"What's wrong with Zed?" Zoey asks me. I don't have the heart to tell her the truth. That her brother has gone complete and total zombie.
I rush down the bleachers, ignoring my dad's calls. Eliza and Bonzo follow after me. When we reach the bottom, my body involuntarily stiffens. I can feel the veins traveling up my skin, feel a new power and strength coursing through my muscles.
I fall to my knees, trying desperately to hold the monster in. It claws and screams, gripping onto my mind tightly. I yell out in pain, twisting my hair between my fingers. "Please, no." The more I try to hold it in, the more pain it causes me. Something drips down my face. Blood, I realize, spilling from my eyes.
My vision grows dark. And the monster inside me takes full control.
