Chapter 1:Kim

Dib's eyes kept darting toward Zim.

All I could see was that Zim was attempting

to fix an object that resembled a cell phone.

After being at this school for 3 days,

I could have easlily predicted this.

"Look...look. Zim is an alien! He's trying to contact others!" Dib cried.

He snatched the object Zim posessed and held it up.

All over the lunch hall, kids began to snicker and call him crazy.

Zim finally spoke.

"That is my new phone from, um, Hong Kong, Dib,"protested Zim,

"I just got it." Zim then grabbed the object back from Dib and left.

A bigger kid, Mike, walked up to Dib.

He grabbed Zim's forgotten tray and dumpped it on Dib.

The entire room burst into laughter and left, except me.

I began my way weaving between kids, trying to reach Dib.

I almost reached him ,but Zita grabbed my elbow.

She pulled me aside and stared at me for a long time with an omg look.

She finally spoke. "What do you think you were doing?"She questioned me.

"I was going to ... help Dib. Why?

Is there a problem with me being nice to him?" I replied.

The situation was getting awkward.

I fixed my black dress and pushed my red hair

back away from my face, waiting for an answer.

I stared into her eyes for a moment, but then focused on someone else.

I noticed that on of the girls behind her, Alice, was texting someone,

and that another girl was doing her makeup.

They weren't helping stare me down with Zita.

Then I relized something.

They will never back up Zita.

Zita grabbed my arms and shocked me back from my thoughts.

She spoke in motherly tone, "Of course its wrong.

No one is nice to him, and if you are, we can't be friends."

I looked at Zita with an are you serious look,

but Zita was serious,and her grip was tighting.

"And besides, who wants to be friends with a total loser like Dib?"

Her eyes were dark, but then they were back and she losened her grip, "C'mon. Let's go."

I wanted to help Dib, but when I looked for him, he was gone.

I guessed he slipped out when I was talking with Zita.

I sighed and followed her, thinking.

"I'll catch up with you later, just let me use the restroom."

As soon as they were out of the room and down the hall,

I looked around for clues of where Dib went.

Looking down, I noticed a pile of food and footprints leading to the classrooms I dased to where Dib was.
