First of all, before I start my story, I want to say sorry for the last story's...problems. Haha I just copied and pasted my story from the site I originally put it on, and it just didn't all copy right (Probably in case of lazy plagiarists)

Well! If you've read xXInvaderRazXx's story, I Didn't Mean To, you'd understand that Bri is MY OWN OC character. I DO NOT OWN INVADER ZIM. IT IS CREATED BY JHONEN VASQUEZ AND I COMPLETELY RESPECT HIM... Because let's face it, Invader Zim is like, the sexiest show ever! So now I present to you, chapter one of The Secret Life of Bri :)

It was dark inside my head. Click. Click. Click. The clock ticked by. I waited for science class to finally end so school would be over and I could hang out with Zim, his girlfriend Suz, my best friend Dib, and his girlfriend, Raz. Which kind of made me the fifth wheel, being the only one without a significant other, but everything happens for a reason.

You can't control others' actions, you can't force someone to one day fall in love with you.

Maybe one day I'll get a fairytale ending.

Maybe one day I'll meet that special someone that can show me how to love, and how to do it right.

Maybe one day, I'll get that person who makes me feel special with no strings attached.

Maybe one day...

The teacher was rambling on about seeing the Great Professor Membrane. I didn't really care much about it. I mean, I could just go to Dib's house and see him... I just never do.

You see, Dib's my best friend. We've been through a lot together, from me helping him get with Raz to him comforting me those nights that I was left alone. The nights I cried myself to sleep, because my parents were only interested in work. I could be failing. I could be pregnant. They don't care. They don't even live with me. They pay for school and they pay for the house. They travel year round, ever since we first moved out here in freshman year.

Now I'm a junior, and I still have yet to recall a Christmas that wasn't spent either with a nanny or all alone. I honestly couldn't even tell you what they do, because we only talk on the phone once a week, and it's always a short conversation. They just don't care.

Dib was the one who made sure I was still taking care of myself.

Dib was the one who always made sure I got at least one thing for my birthday or Christmas.

Dib has been the best friend most people could ever wish for, and I loved him for that.

Now before you assume, no. It's not like "I have a crush on him, but he's dating my friend" love. It's like he's my older brother or something... with a big head,

"Bri!" The teacher interrupted my thoughts. I looked up at him from under my thick, brown bangs in response, "Since you're the highest scoring student in class, you've been selected to be a lab assistant for Professor Membrane... HOW EXCITING!" He cheered excitedly, "You're supposed to walk home with Dib today,"

"Okay...?" That was...random. And too chipper...creeper.

I glared at Dib until he looked back at me. "THE FUCK!" I mouthed, to which he responded to with an unsure shrug. I looked over and saw Raz, smiling like she was laughing, and then Suz...actually pointing and laughing at me. Loudly.

"Ahem," the teacher interrupted the peanut gallery.

I looked around the room more and was greeted by the cold glare of some popular girl, who was probably second in class and PISSED. I saw Zim doing...strange things... Dib had explained to me a while back how he thought Zim was an alien, and I honestly don't understand why no one else can notice this. They must be, like... extremely stupid or something. I enjoy Dib's paranormal talks. They really cheer me up. I guess being parent-less is better than having my home planet in mass destruction and becoming a slave or dying.

Well, maybe not the latter option.

Later, after school, I went to meet the professor.

"Dad, I brought home Bri! I'm gonna go see if there's anything trying to take over the world now!"

"Okay son," Professor Membrane said as he walked into the room.

"Pleasure to meet you," I said coldly. He shook my hand and escorted me through the house. He explained all of his awards and experiments on the way to the lab. We were sitting in the lab. I asked him a question, that I knew for sure would more than likely piss him off. That popular girl can have this crap. I have enough to deal with and I don't want to be in this program or whatever it is.

"Do you think life on other planets is possible? Like, aliens?"

He stopped talking. Maybe it worked.

He furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought "Well," he started,"it's possible that there's something else out there, but we'll never know for sure," he pondered, looking up at the window into the now-dark sky.

I blushed at his answer, thinking he would get mad.

"I should be getting home now," I said reluctantly. I didn't want to go, but I had to get out of this place.
