And we tried finding this old woman who sold Ben the necklaces, but it was kind

of a dead end, so we really just tried to take it day by day.

What does it feel like to be dead?

I don't really feel anything.

Really? Not even this?

No.

Always wanted to do that. You have a very punchable face, Ben. No offense.

None taken. I've heard that before. So, Ren, do you have any questions about

anything?

No, I get it. Ben was brought back to life because of some magical necklaces

enchanted with a love spell, and now you have to stay within 30 feet of each

other or Ben gets hurt.

Wow. You're taking this surprisingly well.

Oh, please. I can't turn on my computer without reading about terrorist threats

or global warming or police brutality or a potential nuclear war and a doofwad

president. So, excuse me if one nerd rising from the grave doesn't really

my mind.

That's an excellent point.

Mind if I... Go to town?

You want in on this?

No. I'm good. Thanks.

Goddamn, that feels good.

Are you okay?

Can't believe you don't draw anymore.

You're so good.

Just because I don't draw anymore doesn't mean I'm not, like, artistic. I

channel it in other ways, like through my Instagram.

Mornings are the worst.

Hashtag no filter.

Hashtag no makeup.

But that's a lie.

You literally just spent the past half hour putting on makeup.

Are you kidding?

Have you been on the internet? It is all fact -bending or misinformation.

Like, do you really think there's a guy out there called DJ Khaled?

No. It's just a fictional persona carefully cultivated by marketing

to sell Nike sneakers.

Open your eyes, Ben.

Wait, so if DJ Khaled's not real, then who'd they get to play him?

Nobody really knows. Some people think he's just like an actor plucked from

obscurity, and some people don't even think he's a person. It's just like a

computer -generated image.

Fascinating. Charlie, wait up.

I thought it was Luke.

Just disguise your voice, okay?

Hey, Luke.

Hey, Charlie.

Hi. I'm Luke.

You're, um, Crad, right? Charlie's cousin?

Yeah, that's me.

Barson. Crad Barson.

Pleasure to meet you, boss.

All right, likewise.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, Charlie, I was wondering if you had any time to talk after school today.

It's about homecoming.

Homecoming. Cool.

Cool. Yeah. No, I actually have a really busy schedule this afternoon, but I

will squeeze you in.

What are you talking about?

We have the same schedule. I don't know of any after school plans.

No, we do.

Definitely. But I can work it out.

Great. So, what are they?

Why don't we talk about this later?

Like, we don't have to, like, bore Luke with, like, plans for all this.

Just, if we have plans, you need to let me know.

Plans are supposed to be planned. That's why they're called plans. Brad!

Later. Okay.

Is that for school?

Yeah. No, yeah, sounds good. I, um, I should get going anyway. I have a

preschool student council meeting.

You're on the student council for a preschool?

No, no, no, I don't. I mean, preschool as in before school, you know.

I mean, it'd be weird if I was student body vice president of a preschool.

That'd be so weird.

So weird.

All right. Well, now that we know how weird that is, why don't you go to that

meeting?

Right.

I'll catch you after eighth period, Charlie.

I wonder what he wants to talk to us about.

I like your shoes.

Thanks. I got them. That was sarcasm.

Of course it was.

Charles. Dead boy. Dead boy? That's a strange nickname for someone who's so

alive. So, so alive.

You've been hanging out with this doof for the past three days?

Has it been three days?

God, it's been three weeks.

Actually, can you give us 30 feet? We're going to have a private conversation.

For what?

No, you're right. You should definitely stay here.

Serena got my period, and I am flowing.

Luke came up to me today, and he asked to talk after school, and I think he's

going to ask me to homecoming.

Wait, Luke came up to you this morning to tell you he wanted to talk after

school about homecoming?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Nothing, it's just, why didn't he ask you this morning?

I don't know, because... Maybe you didn't want to ask me when Ben was

next to me?

Okay, so what are you going to do when Ben is standing next to you after

I mean, you guys, like, can't be apart or whatever.

That's actually what I was going to talk to you about. I need a little favor.

Could you maybe kind of sort of possibly, like, just distract Ben for 30

after school?

You want me to spend an entire half hour with Ben?

That's maybe kind of... Sort of, possibly not really a little favor at

really desperate. Just, I will do anything.

Anything?

No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Do you want my help or not?

Fine.

You're not doing the swivel. Let me do the swivel, Charles.

Yeah, there it is.

I don't see you smiling.

It's really funny, guys.

It's really humiliating. Thank you. Well, if you didn't want me to blackmail

into dancing with Charleston, you never should have learned to dance with

Charleston.

Okay, you can stop.

No.

Oh, I need ten bucks.

It's not for me. It's to help with babysitting Ben. I think I only have

Did I just see you dancing with Charleston?

My cramp.

Oh, my God.

Being a woman.

Ugh.

Do you need to talk about something else?

Nope. It's just, every time I'm away from Ben, it feels like a little

I never want it to end.

I'm chilling on the sofa.

I don't want to yoga.

I don't want to life right now.

I

need

it back in an hour.

No problem.

The caterpillar spends most of his time eating leaves to grow big and strong as

he prepares his body for the next step, the transformation into a pupa, or

chrysalis. The name chrysalis comes from the Greek word for gold because of the

yellow hue of its shiny protective shell.

Do you know how long this stage lasts?

Well, it can vary greatly depending on the species.

Charlie.

Charlie, why are you staring at me like that?

That's a long time to be wrapped in a cocoon, but the wait can be worth it if

the caterpillar blossoms into a beautiful butterfly just like this one.

One of nature's most beautiful wonders.

Come on, Charlie. You've been ignoring me all day. I don't get what the big

is. You don't get what the big deal is. You posted a photo on my Instagram

without my permission.

That's like an offense punishable by death in some state.

You're getting tons of life.

More than your usual shots of cupcakes and latte foam hearts.

Are you making fun of my Instagram?

No. No, I would never.

I'm sorry, Charlie. I'm just trying to help.

Well, you're not, okay? I shouldn't have to tell you that. Like, I don't want to

put my artwork on my social media account. Why not?

Because it's, like, off -brand.

Off -brand?

What does that mean?

Like, not the image I'm trying to sell.

Image you're trying to sell?

Charlie, you're not DJ Khaled. You're a real person.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

I'll go this way. You stay here.

Okay, sir. Please, I'm trying to get... No, no!

What's up?

Rin, open the door.

Not going to happen, my undead friend.

Might as well make yourself comfortable. It's going to be a little bit.

What's going to be a little bit?

Why am I here? I don't understand.

Calm down, okay?

Charlie just needs some alone time.

If you're worried about the distance, I measured it out. You're well within 30

feet.

What the hell is going on here?

I'm about to get lifted, son.

Hey. I was thinking we could go sit somewhere in the quad.

No, I'm good.

I'm okay.

I just thought it'd be nice to be outside.

It's such a nice day out.

It really is, isn't it?

But no.

I'm good. I love this bench.

Really? I'm not sure I've ever seen you sitting on it before.

Weird, because I am. I'm always sitting on this bench. I'm just always...

Here, sitting on this bench.

Okay.

Is your cousin around?

I mean, it seems like you guys are always together, like you're attached to

hip or something.

Definitely feels that way sometimes.

But no, I don't know where he is right now.

Ben, run.

Ben and run, run and Ben.

Our names rhyme.

Wait, how do you say your name again?

Is it Ben or Bean?

Because if it's Bean, our names don't rhyme at all.

Can I ask you something, Bean?

What?

Something I've been wanting to ask you for a while now.

What the hell's your problem?

Whoa.

No, I'm serious.

It's just so obvious Charlie isn't into you, but you don't give up.

Why?

I don't know.

I mean... I thought about giving up, but...

Then I think about, you know, something she said or did or... I see her face

and... I just get re -energized, like a thousand volts to the chest.

So I guess to answer your question, what the hell is my problem?

Charlie Albright's my problem.

She's with Luke right now, isn't she?

That's why you guys locked me in here.

I hope he doesn't smile.

I can't compete with that smile. It's so freaking magnetic.

No, don't be embarrassed.

Like, honestly, the Charleston's the most adorable dance known to man.

You should teach me how to do it sometime.

Oh, God, I can't believe someone posted that video.

The internet is not my friend today.

What do you mean?

I accidentally posted the wrong photo to Instagram this morning. The drawing?

You didn't mean to post that? Why?

It's amazing.

You like it?

Of course.

I had no idea you were so artistic.

That's actually why I wanted to talk to you. Student Council's having a really

hard time nailing down a theme for Homecoming.

We just can't seem to agree on anything.

Would you maybe want to sketch out some ideas and pitch them to the student

council?

Wow, that's really flattering, but I don't really draw anymore.

You don't?

Oh.

That's a shame.

I feel like you totally would have knocked it out of the park.

I don't know. Maybe I could sketch a couple ideas.

Yeah? Mm -hmm.

That'd be great. That'd be amazing. It doesn't have to be anything too crazy.

Some rough sketches or whatever you do, I'm sure, will be perfect.

Wait, is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Just to see if I could come

up with a theme for Homecoming?

Yeah.

What did you think I wanted to talk to you about?

Nothing. Nothing.

At all.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need your advice.

On what?

Okay.

So, like, I've tried everything with Bethany Fowler.

I've ignored her, I've degraded her, I've made fun of her hair and clothes,

catcalled her in the halls, and she's just giving me nothing.

Is she playing hard to get?

Hmm.

It's possible, but let me ask you this.

Have you ever tried being nice to her?

Being nice to her?

Yeah, some people are weird. They like when you're friendly to them.

Huh.

I never thought about going the nice route.

Can I give you some advice now?

How do I get Charlie to like me?

You can't get Charlie to like you, Ben.

Up to her.

Jesus, man, your whole game plan with Charlie is just so aggressive.

You've got to calm down.

But I was told if you love someone, you've got to fight for them.

Who told you that?

Dr. Love.

Don't you love?

Who the hell... No.

No, just... No, that's terrible advice. The worst.

I mean, love isn't something you have to fight for. It's not a... What's that

thing in wrestling?

You know, the belt thing?

The wrestling belt thing that you get when you win?

A wrestling belt?

Yes. Thank you.

Love isn't like a wrestling belt.

Okay, so what do I do?

You don't do anything.

Stop meddling with Charlie's life. Mind your own business and chill.

I don't meddle with her life.

Oh, yeah? Look around you. I mean, she had to lock you in a room to get one

moment away from you.

Okay, so... So I gotta... I gotta chill.

Yeah, bro.

Chill.

Do you mind if I...

Not gonna work, right?

Dead people don't get high.

I know.

Never smoked with a dead dude before.

Ben and Ren.

Ren and Ben.

Ren and... and Bean?

Wait.

How do you say my name?

Sounds good. Good.

Well, we got to move fast because homecoming is like right around the

So could you have something by the end of the week?

Yeah, I can make it work.

Perfect.

Um, you walking this way or?

No, I think I'm just going to stay here a little longer.

Wow.

Really do love that bench.

All right. Um, well, I'll see you later then.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

I'm not high. You're high.

What? What?

What did you do to him?

I just mellowed him out.

Yeah. And you know what?

I was wrong.

He is not like dog shit on a shoe at all.

He's more like contact dermatitis.

Annoying, but manageable with the proper ointment.

Oh, my God, Wren.

That's the nicest thing that you've ever said to me.

I don't think this conversation is over, because it's not.

Still mad.

You can't just mess with my life like that.

You're right. No, I'm sick and... What?

I said you're right about everything.

I'm sorry. It's your life, and it's not mine to meddle with.

You're saying that because you're high.

No, no, I'm not. I mean, yes, I'm high. So, so high.

But I mean what I'm saying.

I'm sorry for posting that picture.

I know I can be annoying, but whenever I think about you, I get so nervous, and

then I get all loud and awkward and everything like that.

But you're always loud and awkward and everything like that.

Well, I think about you a lot.

Wait, why aren't you saying anything?

Charlie, can you hear me right now?

Am I talking? Charlie, can you hear the words I am saying?

Can you hear me? Yes, Ben. Relax. I can hear you. Oh, thank God.

I'm not a drug guy. Like, at all.

Maybe you need to eat. Food will help.

Oh, I love food. I forgot that that was a thing.

Oh, man.

Out of all the things that I already eat, food is definitely my top three.

Okay, and can we make sure that we have fresh bagels for tomorrow's meeting?

No more day olds, Heather.

And stop with the vegan cream cheese.

You have a better chance of finding Bigfoot than a vegan Republican.

Can I help you with something?

Bethany, I just wanted to say that you look really pretty today.

Is that sarcasm again?

No, I'm serious.

You look really pretty, and I wanted you to know that.

Thank you, I guess.

You're welcome, I guess.

You're not getting anything?

I am. Water.

Boring.

Actually, it has a high pH.

8 .4. A lot of pH. So, as far as water goes, it's very interesting.

Okay, well, throw your super interesting, non -boring pH water on up

on me.

1169.

Crap. I don't have my wallet. Mind covering this one?

Give me the register.

Now.

Where do you think you're going?

Nowhere. Nowhere. I don't know.

Where do you want me?

Shut up and hand me your wallet. Whoa, whoa. You can't talk to her like that.

What did you say to me, bro?

Nothing. Nothing. Just maybe be a little nicer is all.

Why don't you mind your own goddamn business?

I've been getting that a lot lately.

Someone much wiser than me gave me some advice today.

She said, you need to chill.

I think you could learn a lot from that.

Dude, please. I just got this shirt. You're getting holes all over it.

Who the hell are you?

Just a guy who'd appreciate if you stopped shooting him.

Hey,

Diablo. Aldi, honestly.

You think the devil is a kid rocking a $16 haircut?

I mean, $21 if I go for the shampoo, but... Oh, please. Wow, this is so

counterproductive. Violence is not the answer.

Oh, really?

Wait, is that a... Hey!

Nice work.

Are you kidding me?

Come on.

I couldn't have done that without you.

It's a team effort thing here.

Are you guys done yet?

Did you get everything out you needed to get out?

Screw this.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. You were so brave for getting in front of me like that.

Are you kidding me?

Bullets can't stop me.

Yeah, but you didn't know that when you did that.

Sir,

um, sir, everything you just saw, I get it.

It's, like, it's scary.

It's really weird. But, um, let's just imagine if everyone in the world found

out about this, right?

People would panic because people don't really understand things that scare

them.

Right? So, just, I'm begging you, one person to another, like, can we just

this whole thing maybe, like, to ourselves?

I mean, look, he's just a kid.

Just, just, just like going through some stuff, you know?

It's not hurting anyone.

Okay?

Okay.

Dead. He's dead. The world needs to know about this. Zombies are real.

Zombies are real.
