Rejection Chapter One

DISCLAIMER: All the characters here except Libby belong to Jhonen Vasquez. Libby is a character I came up with while not paying attention in class. Thank you.



"Zim! Get back here, you pathetic alien scum!"

School had been dismissed five minutes ago, and as always, Dib was chasing Zim around.

"I'll catch you! Then I'll prove to the world that you're an- Gah!"

Dib had run straight into someone, and they'd both fallen over.

"Uh, um, sorry, sorry," he chattered apologetically. He reached over to help the person up, but they were already standing. He looked up, seeing a red-haired girl with blue eyes. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she was dressed in a similar way to Dib.

"Um, I don't think I know you..."

"Correct. You don't," the girl said. "And I don't think you want to."

She spoke with a British accent, and her voice was cold and uncaring, like Gaz's. It made Dib uneasy to hear it, and they way she glared at him didn't help much. After a moment, she left, heading towards the school. Dib watched her until she entered the building.

"Why are you standing there?" someone asked, bringing Dib back to reality.

"Uh, no reason," he half-shouted, and then took off towards his house.



The next morning, Dib sat in class. Ms. Bitters was shouting angrily into a telephone. Moments later, she slammed it down, and it went up in flames.

"Class," she hissed, "We're getting a horrible new student. She has a horrible attitude and no friends. She, like all of you, is NOTHING! And she will amount to NOTHING, just as all of you horrible creatures will."

The door opened, and the new student entered the room. Dib began to panic when he saw her.

It was the girl from yesterday.
