I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever know.
Don't know where it goes, but it's only me, and I walk alone. -The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Green Day.
Chapter one:// Caught in the Moment
'Mmmeehhh . . . I still want to sleep . . . Knock it off . . . ' the lump commanded in his hideaway of blankets. Still, the alarm chimed on, its annoyingly happy tune of WREN WREN WREN!!! Nonstop. The teenager slowly peeled back the comforter that kept his body heat hostage, and waved his arms for a bit, blinded somewhat. All seemed blurry and foreign without his glasses . . . His hand finnaly came to rest on the alarm button, clicking it to the 'off' setting. 'Why can't more things have an off switch? Like Gaz?' he asked himself, reaching for his glasses. He perched them on the bridge of his nose, and stood up, stretching. 'Might as well get up . . . I'll be late for school . . . ' he said, once again inside his head. He slowly ambled to the bathroom, and stripped himself of his clothing, climbing into the shower.
Around fifteen minutes later, he stood in front of the fridge, wearing a blue, shirt with a silver blah face on it, and black jeans. He also wore a black cloak over it. For no apparent reason, he was letting the cold air penetrate his still-wet, solid black hair, put back in a scythe-like formation. He grabbed some orange juice, and set it on the table. "Mmm. Gaz?" he asked, looking around for his sister. He let out a sigh, deducing she had alredy gone to school without him. He looked up at a cabinet, and strode to it, taking a cup off the edge. He poured in the juice, and took a long, breathless swig, and downed it in one gulp. He yawned hugely, and rubbed at his goldenrod eyes. He shook his head, and started out the door, not even bothering to put the juice away.

"DIB! SIT DOWN NOW!" Mz. Bitters screamed at her pupil, her eyes scanning the room.
The 15-year-old looked up, and quickly took his seat. He glared at the green-skinned boy, sitting across the room for no apparent reason.
"Now. As I was saying, class, we have a new student. Her name is Aluesonor." the old hag said, looking to the door. A black and white husky stepped inside, attached to a black collar, that a fifteen-year-old held in her hand. "This is Aluesonor. She is blind. Now . . . Anything you want to say before you sit down? And after this moment, I don't want to hear another peep out of you!" Mz. Bitters said with an aggressive air to her voice.
The new girl, a brown haired, fair-skinned girl, shook her head, and gripped the collar of her husky. Her left eye, was a vivid green color, like an emerald. The right one, was a medium grey, the color of steel. She wore a black cloak, covering a black tank-top. Black jeans covered her legs, and black military boots clipped on the ground. On her neck, was a deep, midnight-blue choker of a crescent moon, with black swirls, and a black cloth wrapping it around her neck.
'Great . . . Another Emo . . . ' Dib thought to himself.
"What . . . IS THAT BEAST!?" the green-skinned boy shrieked, pointing at the husky.
Dib twitched, glaring at Zim. "It's a DOG." he said, looking back at the girl.
Aluesonor released her husky, and let her wander. "This is Moonrunner . . . She's my seeing eye dog." she said, her voice shaky.
'Hmm... I feel bad for her...' Dib thought, in his head, of course.
Moonrunner slowly slunk to Zim, and sniffed the air, snarling, and growling. She continued on, to Dib, and sat beside him, sniffing the air once again. This time, she barked, wagging her tail happily.
"Now... Go to your seat... IF you can find it." Mz. Bitters said, with an evil glint in her eyes.
Alue bowed her head, and snapped her fingers. Moonrunner stood up, and bounded to her mistress's side, and stood beneath her right hand. Alue took a hold of her collar, and let herself be guided to the seat behind Dib.
Zim glared at Alue, and shivered, watching Moonrunner intently. "What's wrong with your eyes? They look perfectly fine to me." he asked, now glaring back at Alue.
Alue turned her head in Zim's direction, and sighed. "I looked into a telescope aimed at the sun when I was two." she explained.
Dib glared at Zim, and clenched his fist. "Will you stop prying into other people's business?" he asked, rather rudely.
"DIB, ZIM! BE QUIET!" Mz. Bitters commanded, a roach crawling up the side of her face.
"Yes ma'am!" both boys said, practically yelled, sitting up straight.
"Good. Now, as I was saying, the sun will eventually blow up, casting us in darkness, and doom. Dooooooooooommmmm. Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom..." she said, spacing off.
Dib cast a quick glance at Alue, and then to the clock. "Almost time for lunch..." he said to himself. Realizing that Bitters was in another one of her spacing lectures, he turned to the new girl sitting behind him. He looked down at his hands, and then up at her. "So... Is that a husky?" he asked, looking down at Moonrunner, who whimpered.
Alue nodded her head, and smiled, joy playing across her face. "Yeah." she said, her quiet voice barely above a whisper. "Erm... If I can ask, what's your name?" she asked.
Dib smiled, and looked back at Alue. "My name's Dib. What do you want me to call you?" he asked.
Alue smiled again. "Just call me Alue, okay?" she asked.
Dib nodded, and looked back up at the clock. Then, the bell rang. BRRRIIIINNNGNGNGNGNNGGN!!! It screamed.
"... Doom, doom, doom, doom... Now, off to lunch.. You're all bothering me." Mz. Bitters commanded. All the students stood up, and raced out the door, spare for Zim, Dib, A blonde boy, and the new girl.
