Confessions of a Teenage Zombie [Chapter Ten]

"So where exactly does this guy live?" X asked me as we were about to get on the bus.
"A few houses down from me." I said.
"Oh, so I get to see your house?" He asked with a smile.
"...Maybe." I said keeping my face very indifferent. He made some sound like sounded like a cat coughing up a fur ball, then we sat down. The bus rocked us back and forth as it went, stopping every few blocks to pick up or drop off more passengers.
"So what happened with the two of you?" X asked me, I was staring out the window, my mind blank.
"Oh, you mean Scott?" I asked looking back to him.
"Yeah, Scott." He confirmed. "What happened, why aren't you together?"
"What did you want me to have a boyfriend so you could swoop me away or something?" I asked.
"No, no no! I was just asking, just want to get to know you more." He said, his eyes shaky--he's nervous.
"Haha!" I laughed. "Well, he was cheating on me with someone who I thought was my best friend. So I dumped him."
"Wow, you know a lot of people talk about doing things like that. Like those girls with abusive boyfriends, they say 'I'll leave him if he ever hits me again!' stuff like that, but when they do the girls always make an excuse for them."
"But I love him." I said.
"Yeah, stuff like that--Wait, you mean Scott?" X asked.
"No! I was commenting on what you were saying!" I laughed again.
"Oh, that's funny, I was like--" Then he made a shocked face.
"Hey, X?" I asked leaning in so none of the other passengers could ear me. "Do I smell?" He looked at me with a confused face. Then I raised my arms and rolled my eyes, typical zombie stance.
"Oh!! Let me check!" He leaned in and smelled my hair, when he leaned back his eyes were still closed. "A little bit, but mainly all I smell are peaches."
"Yeah, that's my shampoo." I said grabbing a handful and smelling it myself. My hair still smelled wet. "You have to tell me if I start," I got really quiet. "start to smell like a corpse."
"I can do that for you." He said saluting.
"Thanks." I said. "Well, let's go." We got to our feet and walked off the bus, it hissed and slowly drove off. I started walking down one of the residential streets towards my house. We made conversation about past relationships, you know--the normal things people who are starting to grow fond of each other talk about. We got to my street and I pointed at Scott's house.
"That's Scott's house." I said.
"Ew, is that his car outside?" X asked.
"Yup."
"Stupid car." He said. "I've never liked Chevy's" I laugh, because neither did I. It was always so cramped in there, I hated having sex in it. But I really liked having sex, so it was still okay.
"So do you have a plan, because I don't." I said.
"Um, no." X replied.
"Fuck!" I said to myself. "No idea at all?"
"Well, what exactly are we doing here?" He asked.
"Sending him a message." I said.
"Which is?"
"Don't fuck with me." I said.
"Let's kill him, and then you can eat his brains!!" X screamed with overzealous joy.
"Not all at once, X. Gotta make him afraid first." I said, we were now standing on the edge of Scott's lawn, staring at his house.
"Well, we could ruin his car?" He suggested.
"Too predictable, any angry ex-girlfriend would do that." I said.
"Wait, did you dump him? I thought you said you did." He said.
"I did dump him, but he also cheated on me! I must exact revenge!" I was getting a little crazy.
"Okay, so you don't want to be a predictable ex-girlfriend. Did he know you were a zombie?" He asked.
"Nope, only you and the school nurse do."
"The school nurse!!!?" He screamed. "Oh, that is bad. I had forgotten about that."
"Yeah, I know, she's a real dildo." I said.
"Okay, so first we leave a message here, then kill that cunt school nurse?" X asked.
"Sounds like a good plan to me, X." I said with a big smile. "But what should we do here?"
"Does he have any pets?" X asked.
"Yeah, a bulldog--Oh he's so cute!" I said scrunching my lips together so it looked like I was kissing an invisible person.
"Eat his dog." X said.
"No!" I screamed. "Didn't you just hear me!? He's cute!" I could feel tears bubbling up.
"That's send the message across pretty well, a dead dog--brutally eaten by a zombie!" X said, I was waiting for the evil doctor laugh, but it never came.
"I don't wanna." I said pouting.
"Just do it! It'll be like taking off a band-aid, it'll only hurt for a second." X said.
"And then he'll get the message?" I asked.
"Yes, yes he will." X assured me.
"...okay." I said, my voice tender--I was still pouting. I didn't want to eat the cute little dog, but I had to, because Scott had me, the greatest girlfriend he'd ever get--and he threw me away for Jamie! Yeah, now I have to kill that little dog! Oh, but he's so cute! I could play fetch with him for hours and just watch his little butt when he ran to get the toy. I can't do it! But Scott is a bastard and has to know it! But the doggie!
"X, I can't do it!" I whispered back to him. He raised his arm and pointed it at the front window of the house. I turned and looked, Scott was fucking another girl. She was up against the wall of his living room, arms and legs wrapped around him. That was our position. That's it, he crossed the line...again.
I ran towards the backyard, I could already hear Wolfy barking at me. I smashed through the wooden fence around his house and ran into his backyard. Wolfy came charging at me, oh, he's so cute--and was about to bite me when I kicked him. he flew a few feet whimpering as he went. he hit the ground with a loud yelp. I dove and landed on him, he yelped again. Then, I started eating him.
At first he started biting back, but within a few seconds he was dead--I think I snapped his neck with my jaw. I looked down at Wolfy, the bloody corpse I had just killed, picked him up by the back right leg, and through him into Scott's kitchen--through the window. Then I took off running, with a new stamina, and jumped over his backyard wall. I felt something inside me die, but it felt good.
