Hey everyone! So... I got extremely bored... I decided to try the "A to Z" one-shots! Basically, if you don't know what that is, all the chapters are a different letter, like this chapter is the first, so it's A, this one is A for annoying, which you'll hear it used some throughout the short chapter, next will be B for something, etc etc. ^^ I'm hoping to get these up once a day or maybe 3 days max. If you like them, PLEASE, PLEASE review, constructive criticism is what I need, but not mean reviews. Licorice is a bit "tougher" and not as shy in these, I didn't like how incredibly shy she was before. ^^ [Description of Licorice is at the bottom of this chapter]
Licorice's POV
I looked around as I walked to my first day of school, the sun was out, the grass was green, it was beautiful. Well, to a happy, positive person. Honestly, there was one patch of grass left that hadn't been covered in snow, the sky was entirely cloudy, though the sun shined through a thin cloud, honestly, it was a dreary day, but not for me, I like to think positive. I had wrapped myself up in warm clothing to insure I stayed warm, it was very, very cold, still, the basic flared jeans had worked fine for me, and a festive white jacket. I finally arrived to the sidewalk to the school, sure, it WAS a little unmaintained.. okay, a lot. But that shouldn't be a set-off, I mean, how bad could it really be? I walked up to the front doors, as I watched my last breath of frozen air disappear around me, I walked in and quite honestly felt a little out of place. Everyone was at their lockers, and they didn't even have jackets on! Well, the more I thought about it, the more I noticed the heat surrounding my body, I noticed some jackets were hung up to the right of me, too. I took my jacket off and hung it up with the others, writing my name on the very bottom of it. It was also only late November, but I still sported a "Happy Holidays" red and green shirt. I sighed as I read the paper in my hand with my locker number.
-END OF POV-
Licorice looked around until she spotted her locker, it looked like that side of them had been recently replaced with new ones.
"33," Licorice whispered. "What a coincidence." Licorice walked over to her locker and put her key in that had been taped to the piece of paper she had, it opened, and already had homework books stacked up in it.
"Ehhh? Come on! First day and there's homework books shoved in here?" She sighed loudly, and her rant was too loud, half of the people in there looked over at her, and stared.
"What? does anyone want to correct me? It sucks, what can I say!" She shrugged it off, and put some stuff in her locker from her backpack, shut it. and walked off to find the classroom, so she wouldn't be lost when it starts. She noticed people kept looking over and staring at her.
"Okay, why is everyone staring at me?" She asked simply, her cat ears went forward and pointed upward, then she widened her eyes.
"Oh..." She took her arm and covered her cat ears, and some people started laughing at her. She growled a bit and ignored them, walking off.
"Look, another freak!" Some girl yelled, more people laughing, Licorice just continued to ignore it, she was never phased by this.
"What do they mean by another?" She thought. She slid her arm off her cat ears as she found her classroom, on perfect time. The bell rang, and she conveniently walked in, sitting on chair number 3, no-one else was in there yet. But that didn't take long ,as people crammed through the door and sat. Though, the two chairs on either side of Licorice were still empty, considering that seats were assigned, not a free-pick, she wondered where they were. Not a moment later, a person came in and sat down next to Licorice,he appeared to have green skin.
"Welcome doomed children to the first day of your DOOM" The teacher rambled on a little bit about "Doom", Licorice blocked it out, how boring.
"Unfortunately, I have to introduce another doomed child, Licorice, step up." Her head shot up from being in a sleeping position, she adjusted her eyes since they were closed, got up and walked over.
"Hi... I think everyone already saw me. Might I correct some of you, I'm a Neko, that means part cat. Being that it wasn't my fault I was accidentally infused with a cat, I don't appreciate being made fun of" She looked around the room, then shot a glare to all. before walking back to her seat and sitting down, 2 pairs of eye's following her.
"Sorry I'm late again" A voice came from the door, Licorice didn't look, she was busy fiddling with a pencil. "Who's that?" The boy asked, pointing to Licorice.
"Licorice." The teacher called.
"Hmm? What? Oh.." She looked up questioningly, then her bright red eyes fell upon the person walking over to the seat next to her.
"Hi, I'm Dib" He said to Licorice, smiling.
"Hello, I'm Licorice, you can call me Lici if it's easier. Nice to meet you" She returned the smile, which seemed to surprise him.
"Pff, Pathetic human friendship" The boy on the opposite side of her spat, she turned around on her seat and looked at him. He had his arms crossed, and his eyes closed, head tilted to the right a bit, somehow he felt her looking at him though, and slightly opened his eyes.
"What do you want, Lici-human?" Licorice raised one in her eyebrows in question for a second, before smiling.
"Uhh, I don't think I know your name yet... I'm Licorice as you already know. Nice to M-" Licorice got cut off by Dib, who was now standing on his desk, pointing.
"HE'S AN ALIEN,. ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?" He said, pointing to him, he looked at him standing on the desk and rolled his eyes.
"You're annoying, are you gonna do this all school year again?" Licorice was confused, but the more she thought about it, the funnier it was. She started giggling.
"What's so funny?" Both Dib and the other boy said at the same time, unintentionally.
"You guys. It's amusing and funny..." She continued to giggle.
"You're somewhat annoying too, lici-hyoooman! Stop laughing!"
"I don't think I will." She stopped and glared at him, then started having a laughing fit out of nowhere.
"Pathetic earth-worm" He whispered, turning his head and ignoring her.
Licorice is 15 years old, long waist-length black hair, red eyes, 4 inches taller then Zim, and uh, yeah. You can pretty much see how she acts personality-wise throughout this chapter. ^^
There's chapter "A" ^^ I hope you liked it! If you readers would do me a HUUUUGE favor, just take one second and review, I need help on two things, What should the next letter stand for? Example:B is for...Bath, X3 I can't think of anything yet. Two, who should Licorice end up with? It was gonna be ZaLr, but whatever, It can be DaLr, if you guys decide it. ^^ Thank you for reading!
