Things I'll Never Say To Your Face
Chapter 1: Seniors Already
Dib was at his new locker, stuffing it with his new textbooks, and getting ready for his new, and final, year of Hi Skool. He was to report to room 229, his new homeroom. Dib had changed a lot over the years. His sythe-like hair was gone now, and instead, he had a long emo-ish hair style In the hall, he encountered many former classmates from his previous years of Skool. He saw Zita, Sara, Chunk, Torque, and many others. During his freshman year, he and Torque grew to be great friends. Zita and Brian were dating at one point but she dumped him for The Letter M, Sara was pregnent with Rob's baby, Biscuity Goodness, was kicked out of school because he had a continuous lice problem, Dirge got his toes fixed in 8th grade, Chunk went into counciling becuase of his bullying which turned out to be because of family problems, Carl is in a "get clean" program for his drug addiction that he started as a freshman, Aki has been crushing on Zim, and Gretchen has developed a crush on the new kid, Skoodge (who is an irken now living with Zim). Dib entered his new homeroom, excited, at first, to see who his classmates would be for this one final year, it was all good... untill he saw him.
Zim looked in disgust as Dib took the only available seat, the one next to him. Dib grumbled and sat next to Zim with a sour look on his face. Zim felt like flashing him a cocky smile, but didn't. He knew that if he did, Dib would make fun of the braces he had gotten over the summer. Zim never wanted to smile again, or even open his mouth. He didn't even know why he went to this earth dentist in the first place. Dib turned to him, suprised he hadn't made some kind of comment by now. "Why are you so quiet today? Aren't you gonna make some kind of joke or flash me one of those cocky smiles you do?" Zim just kept silent, not daring to reveal his braces. "C'mon it's too weird sitting next to you and not fighting about something." Silence... "If you're giving me the silent treatment two can play at that game..." Silence... "Okay what are you planning this time?! I know you're up to something I just know it! Spill it, what's your..."
"Shut up Dib-Stink before you invoke the wrath of ZIM!!!" Zim quickly covered his mouth, praying to the Tallests that Dib didn't see. He had no such luck.
"Zim... are you wearing braces?!"
"Don't laugh stink-beast, there's nothing wrong with wanting perfect teeth."
"I'm not going to laugh, I just think... you look cool with them." Dib turned away, hoping that what he just said wouldn't linger with Zim too long. It was true though, Dib thought Zim looked pretty cool with braces, they were red and purple, the perfect colors for him.
"You think Zim looks... cool?"
"Hi Zim!" Aki seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Wow you got braces! Totaly awesome colors too!!"
"Oh umm... thanks."
"Well, Zim I was kinda wondering..." Dib grinded his teeth as she spoke, he knew she was going to ask him out, the weird part was, that Dib didn't even know why that made him angry. "I-I was wondering if maybe you would l-like to..." The bell rang, interupting her and the teacher came in to welcome everyone to a new year. She rushed to her seat, so she wouldn't be yelled at.
"Hello there students and welcome to your final year of Hi Skool. I'm Mr. Bitters..."
"Are you Ms. Bitters's husband?!" Keef shouted out. He was wearing skin tight jeans and a small T-shirt, everyone knew he was gay, and he was proud to be gay... (YaY KeEf!!!)
"Oh no I'm not her husband, I'm her son. Anyway..."
"So you're single then!!!" Keef said with much exciement in his voice. Everyone laughed at Keef's attempt to get with their new teacher who they have only known for about a minute.
"Umm... no, I have a girlfriend."
"Damn it! The girls take all the hot ones!" Everybody laughed once again at Keef's extreme gayness. (Which is wrong! Never laugh at a gay kid, they're awesome!)
"Okay then... I'll just take roll now." He began to call out names. Zim's mind was somewhere else though. Cool, he thinks my braces are cool! And best of all is that he gave me a complement! I never get complements! And getting one from Dib is so... so...
"Zim... Zim... ZIM!" Dib was calling him. Zim's head snapped up. "Zim, Mr. Bitters called your name."
"Oh, Zim is here!" Zim called out so he was not marked absent. The bell rang meaning everyone had to go to their first period class. Zim checked his scheduel, he had Art first period. Zim was excited, he loved drawing, and painting, and sculpting, and he was really good at it too. Zim knew his way around this school by heart (if he had one), so he took this time to think. Oh, Dib-Love if only you knew. But you would never except me. I see how the other kids laugh at Keef, I wouldn't want them doing that to you. You just became popular last year, I wouldn't want to take that away from you. Zim stopped as he realized he was approaching the class room. He took a seat in the back, where he knew no one would sit. He knew Dib was always last to class, and if no one sat by him, Dib would have no choice but to do so. Zim saw other kids fill the room. The Letter M sat with Zita, Keef sat with Dirge, Gretchen sat with Melvin, and many more students started filling the seats. Skoodge, Zim knew, was in music class, setting Zim at ease. He knew that if Skoodge were here, he would have no chance of talking to Dib. Aki came in and sat next to Zim, leaving one seat open by Torque, which was all the way in the front of the class. Zim didn't want to sit so far away from Dib! "Hey Aki, can you do Zim a favor?"
"Sure anything Zim."
"I was wondering if you could go sit by Torque, he's a friend of mine, and I know you're such a good artist that maybe you can help him pass."
"Oh, well... okay if it's what you wish Zim." Aki got up and sat next to Torque. Just then Dib walked into class. Zim was doodling in his sketchbook 'Zim Membrane' with hearts all around it, and snapped it shut when he saw Dib approaching him.
"Oh C'mon! Is this really the only seat left?"
"It would appear so Dib-Human, so sit before you get yelled at." The teacher entered the room.
"Oh, I see you all have seated yourselves two to a table as expected. I see some familiar faces from last year. Well for you kids who have never been to my class, I'm Mrs. Daning. Everyday you are expected to bring a sketchbook, every 10 minutes of class is free sketching time. Begin Sketching...NOW!" Zim opened his sketchbook and began sketching the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, his favorite earth story. Dib didn't know what to sketch, he felt rushed. He looked over at Zim and saw how quickly his pencil was moving, and how perfect the sketch was. There's no way anyone can draw that fast! And look at how perfect it is! I never knew Zim was such a good artist. Dib began to draw, he sketched out hills and a sunset, and then Mrs. Daning let them know free sketching time was over.
"Alright time up everyone. Now I see a very good student of mine that I've had since he was a freshman. Zim, my star-student! would you like to show the class what you sketched?"
"With pleasure Mrs. Daning." Zim held up his Sketchbook to the class. "This is the balcony scene form Shakespear's Rome and Juliet." Everyone gazed in awe at the outstanding sketch that only took Zim 10 minutes to complete.
"Amazing job Zim! You are the best student I've had in all my years of teaching."
"Thank you Mrs. Daning."
"Now since today's our first day, I'll let you kids chat amongst yourselves, just whisper quietly." The class was filled with whispers and chatter. Dib just sat there, not quite sure what to do now. The only person close enough to talk to was Zim, and he isn't even a person really.
"So.... Nice sketch Zim."
"Hmm? Oh thanks, your's is good too."
"Oh this is nothing, how did you learn to draw like that?"
"I guess it's just something I was born with." They were silent after that, not quite sure what to talk about. Every since Zim found out his mission was a fake two months ago, he has decided to live on Earth, forever. Over the years he had grown to like Earth, and it was actually a relief that he didn't have to destroy it. But the one thing about Earth that he like the most, was Dib.
Oh how I wish that I could tell you,
Oh how I wish I could let you know.
But it's so hard to let my love shine through,
When I'm afraid that you'll say 'no'
Zim wrote in his notebook, another hobby of his was writing poem. Someday Dib, I'll tell you how I feel. The bell rang and everyone was off to their next class.
Is it good so far? Is it bad? What does it need to satisfy you? Review so I can make it a better story! How do you like the poem? I wrote it myself!
