A/N: Gaz is a little out of character, yes, but hey.. she's out of character in a lot of romance fics. blah.


You can have a heart attack now, diary. I've fallen for someone.

In Dib's class.

It all started about a week ago. I was sitting in the cafeteria, playing Vampire Piggy Slayer and half-listening to Dib rant and rave, as usual. I had just gotten to secret level number 25-B (password: ctino) when I heard someone spit out the longest stream of insults I had ever heard at my brother. It was amazing! Dib actually shut the mouth-hole on his huge head for a minute or so before continuing on. I had glanced up from my game to see who had come up with the creative string of insults.

And then I saw.

My eyes must be more glued to my games than healthy, to miss such beauty. Now that I think of it.. I think that was the only time this year that I had really looked away from the screen. And I was glad I had. Hey, that ryhmed.

Anyways.. the beauty walked away and I helped Dib up, feeling uncharactaristically kind with the butterflies in my stomach. Dib looked at me funny.

"Are you feeling okay, Gaz..?" that little twerp had asked, reaching out to feel my forehead.
"YES, fathead. Don't touch me."
"My head's not fat!"

I had snickered, and then that was the end of the conversation. But, it was far from the end of the story.

As we walked home at the end of the day, Dib ranted and raved some more.
"Blah blah blah aliens blah blah blah, Gaz! Blah blah blah BLAH!!"

I rolled my eyes, pausing my game. "Dib.. you know that kid who talked to you at lunch?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Name?"

Dib told me the name by which my sweetheart was called, and finally, I was a step closer.

The next day, I had.. okay, don't die, but.. I had forgotten my GameSlave. I'll give you a few lines to recover.

...

Okay, on with the story. I had forgotten my Gameslave, so really there was nothing to do except get bathroom passes all during class so I could walk by Ms. Bitters' classroom and see my love. During lunch it was easier. I could just sit and stare, and pretend that it wasn't stupid Dib sitting by my side, but my foul-mouthed beauty.

I made up my mind. I had to put my love into words. After all, I'm not Dib. When I like someone, I TELL them, instead of chasing them around and becoming their own personal stalker. Freak.

Anyways.

After school, I searched for the one who had claimed my heart.. and there they were, standing by the swings talking to someone I didn't recognize. I gathered my courage, and walked over to my angel.

"..hi. I'm Gaz." I said. Yeah, yeah, I know conversationlism isn't my strong point, but hey, I'm not the most social person you'll ever meet.
"..Hi."
"So.. you hate Dib too, huh?"
"..yeah!"
"Wanna come to Bloaty's with me later? We can hate him together."
"Sure."

And then, I smiled (yes, really smiled.. my face almost cracked) and walked away.

Well, gotta go diary. My date with Zita starts in 10 minutes. Damn, she's hot.
