I do not in any way shape or form own Invader Zim or the characters. Alright? Okay. Please enjoy my story (:


Katie-Marie McKleign is my name, I am 13 and I just moved to a new town.

I stared out the window of my Grammie's car. Snow was falling ever so slightly on the ground. I sighed and glanced at my sister Rachel. She's about my age, a few months younger I suppose. Besides that, we have to live with our Grammie now. Last weekend my parents were killed in a car accident. They both died while the drunk driver who crashed into them lived. The thought of it causes my eyes to water. Well wherever the town my Grammie lives in is, it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm not excited for this, not even a little. Rachel, on the other hand, is very excited. I, for one, did not want to leave my friends back home. Now I'm going to go to school and have no one to talk to, and when I trip in the hall no one to help me. I guess I have to though, there's no other choice.

When we arrived at Grammie's I dragged my bags inside. Grammie showed us each our own rooms. Well there's one good thing we didn't have at home, separate rooms. I unpacked slowly and sadly. And then I sat on the window sill, watching the snow fall. I focused on one piece of snow at a time, focusing on that one piece until it hit the ground.

"Katie. Katie? Katie!" I heard Rachel calling to me from the doorway. "It's time for dinner." she said. I looked at my sister and sighed. She turned and walked down the hall. I stood up and walked slowly out of the room, down the hall and down the stairs. Spaghetti for dinner. This was my favorite dinner, she probably made it to cheer me up. I sat quietly and ate my food. No one said a word the whole time. When everyone was finished Grammie told us to leave our dishes and she'd clean up. After thanking her, I walked upstairs. I grabbed some Pjs, a towel, and all my showering things and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. After a quick shower I bushed my long, dark brown hair and pulled it up into a ponytail. I brushed my teeth and left the bathroom, hoping that I could sleep in this new room. The bed was comfortable, but that didn't make things a whole lot easier. I sighed and turned to face the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was 1:00 a.m. I sighed and closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep. I'm not sure how long it took but soon I was asleep and I was dreaming about how my new life would be.
