A Bloody Scene

‘What have you got in there?’ Chris wanted to know as Vusi unpacked his backpack. ‘I hope there’s something to eat because I’m starving – and of course that’s all due to you-know-who over here who had detention.’

I felt the blood rushing to my face. Everything was always my fault. It was my fault that everyone in the bus had to wait. It was my fault that Mr Oldman might miss the rugby on TV. It was my fault that Chris didn’t have time to eat lunch because she had to walk all the way from her house to the shed after the school bus dropped her off. I’m sure she was even going to blame me for the fact that her dilapidated old bike had a flat tyre. I was about to open my mouth and say something when I saw that she was smiling.

‘Hey, I’m just teasing, Clucky,’ she said.

I grinned, feeling embarrassed.

‘This afternoon we’re going to shoot a very scary scene,’ Vusi announced. He held the zombie mask and a transparent plastic bag up in the air. ‘Clucky, you’re going to be the zombie again.’

‘All the zombies can’t look exactly the same,’ Chris said with a frown. ‘Can’t it be a girl zombie this time?’

Vusi shook his head. ‘No, you’re the girl who’s hiding in the shed. You can’t be a zombie as well.’

‘I can be a zombie with one arm. Like Mr Oldman,’ I suggested. I pulled my one arm out of my jersey sleeve and held it tight against my chest while I stumbled forward and hollered ‘AHHHHH!’ the way Vusi had taught me.

Chris laughed.

‘Cool!’ Vusi was impressed. ‘That’s a great idea. But wait till you see the best part…’

My eyes widened when I saw what he took from the backpack. ‘Vusi… where did you find that?’

‘Relax, it’s just a toy,’ Vusi said and wielded the pistol with apparent ease. ‘Look, I also brought an old T-shirt. We’re going to stick this bag of fake blood inside your jersey, then you just have to press on it hard so that it’ll explode and soak your entire shirt with blood.’

Vusi looked very pleased with himself. But Chris didn’t look happy at all.

‘Vusi, haven’t you learned your lesson with the dog and the quad bike?’ she asked impatiently.

‘What now?’ sighed Vusi.

‘You can’t just suddenly have a firearm in the movie,’ Chris explained. ‘Why didn’t you use it the first time the zombie attacked you? Why didn’t you use it to save Killer?’

‘Erm…’ Vusi looked devastated.

‘I have a better plan,’ said Chris immediately. ‘I’ll rescue you from the zombie.’ She took the pistol from him. ‘The zombie’s chasing you and you’re running to get to the shed in time. And then, the minute you open the door, I grab hold of you… and then… BOOM!’ She aimed the pistol in my direction.

‘Arrrrgggh!’ I groaned and collapsed.

Chris pretended to blow some smoke from the tip of the barrel. ‘Take that, you living corpse!’ she growled.

Vusi laughed. ‘Yes, OK.
