You don’t know it yet—but everyone kinda feels it. Like something’s going on with you.

You’ve been acting weird. Smiling too long at football practice, zoning out during cheers, and literally jumping every time someone says “Zed.”

And nobody knows why. Not even Bucky—who, let’s be real, would full-on combust if he knew what was actually going on behind that perfect cheer-smile of yours. Because, ohhh girl… you’ve got it bad.

For him.

Zed Necrodopolis.

The zombie. The quarterback. The reason the whole “Zombies and humans can co-exist” dream even works. You’ve been crushing on him in secret for weeks now—maybe longer. And it’s not just like “he’s cute” kinda crushing. It’s the kind where your heart skips when he says your name, and you catch yourself redoing your lip gloss before you head to the field just in case he’s there.

But it’s not just your brother who would freak—Zed’s best friend Eliza? Yeah, she’d straight-up start a revolution. She hates cheerleaders. Thinks you’re all brainwashed by glitter and spirit sticks.

And maybe she’s not totally wrong. But you? You’re different. You don’t care that Zed’s a zombie. You care that he’s kind. Brave. Kinda dorky in the cutest possible way. But still… you’ve got to keep it locked up. Because in Seabrook? Secrets don’t stay buried for long… and when this one comes out? It could change everything.
