Gray Revenge

Dib walks silently to skool. As if he was hypnotized, he walks in a slow rhythm. Lightning flashes in his eyes, as he passes his classmates. His lips are chapped and dry, as he breathes lifelessly.
"Hey, Dib! Why don't you go hunting some aliens?"
"Dib, Zim is looking suspicious, today."
"Dib!"
"Dib!"
"DIB!"
The words echoed through his soul. They bounced around and eventually went out the other ear. Dib hadn't heard them, or at least put the words into consideration. They scarred his heart, though. If they kept it up, Dib could eventually just stop caring all together. Mankind was killing their only hope. It was all too easy, too easy to not notice the pain, too easy to tease in order to make one's self look better in the cruel eyes of their peers. Dib was their stepping stone to joy, their savior to peace, and was dying spiritually. Tak came up to her old friend. They had hated each other since Tak finally told Dib of her secret.
"It's ok."
Dib completely ignored her, walking to class, in a world of his own. At recess, the kids continued to taunt him, and Torp decided to beat Dib up, to get the words through his skull. Dib bled just a little. He sat by himself, and Tak came to comfort him.
"Just tell me what to do to him, and I'll do it, Dib!"
"As long as mankind is safe, he doesn't bother me."
"Damn it, Dib! What do you want me to do? I'll kill him if I have to!"
"Leave him alone. Killing him is on your behalf, not mine."
"He is just going to keep on torturing you, Dib!"
"I don't care. It happens every day. Ever since my mother died."
"Dib, you can't let them push you around! I'm your friend, and I can bring down a jet if I wanted! Let me help!"
"I'm sorry. Beat him up if it makes you feel better."
"No! I'm doing it for you!"
"Forget me. My only reason to live is to protect humanity. I don't feel pain, love, or hate anymore. Let's just say I've given up."
"You haven't given up!!!" Tak practically screamed.
"Yes, I have." Dib said emotionlessly.
"You do care! I know that deep down inside of that torn up body of yours, is an amazing guy! You choose not to care because you have no hope! I care about you!"
"You have no idea what lies beneath my skin. I'm not amazing, I am furious. I could slit your throat at this instant if I felt like it, I've boiled over, I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PUSH ME FARTHER! I'm waiting for the day I have the courage to blow up this entire planet in my anger! This damn planet hates me! I hate it! We are battling to see who is the strongest! We are just at a tie!"
"Dib, I don't hate you." Tak whimpered.
"Are you human?" Dib replied.

I said I'd never do rated R. Puh, so much for that. *sigh * Anyway, chapter 2 soon. (hmmm, this will probably have 3 chapters in it.) Please review! Thankies!
