An Invader Zim story by Plutopian
"Finally, it is COMPLETED!" Zim yelled loudly, but everyone else in the classroom just stared. Zim was in his art class trying to draw him self as the ruler of Earth; but really it just looked like a stick man wearing a crown standing on a circle with spots…
"That's nice Zim, but you need to put more effort into it… You need to FULLY express yourself, you need to do better," the relief teacher, whose name was Ms. Uggbootz, said. Zim glared at the woman who dared to criticise his work, and scowled.
"You dare to mock ZIIIIM?! YOU will be the first of many to SUFFER, PATHETIC HU-MAN!!" Zim spat. Again, all the students glanced at Zim and resumed with their work, but the teacher only smiled in response to his out burst. It was like she didn't hear him or what he said didn't matter… Zim saw the smile which formed on her lips and shuddered. Why is this teacher smiling at ME? Is this NORMAL?! Zims thoughts were disrupted when he noticed that the teacher had walked over to him and crouched down to his level.
"Zim calm down. Your art work is lovely, and I didn't mean to offend you," she explained in a voice that was so quiet no one else could hear what she said, except for Zim. Zim stared at the woman and tried to smile back at her but an Irkens emotional system could only be pushed so far; so he patted her hand and she walked to the front of the classroom to resume the lesson.
While this was all happening, an Earth boy called Dib was watching Zim from the other side of the room, and every time Zim picked up a different pencil, or scratched his chin, Dib would gasp out loud. Everyone heard Dibs gasping, and a student in the third row, called Ann, even reckoned that the students in the other classrooms (two rooms down from the one they were in) could hear Dib gasp; but that's a different story…
Did you see that?!" Dib gasped, "Zim's doing stuff!" he continued to gasp and pointed at Zim. Everyone stared at Zim, and shrugged at his claims.
"You're crazy Dib!" Fred screamed from the back of the class room, the other students laughed and started to chant big-head. Dib loathes his class, but atleast he knows that Zim is an alien and one day he'll find the evidence that will prove that he's right, but until then he will have to put up with the horrors of school.
The lesson eventually came to an end and all the students were free to go home; all except Zim…
"Zim, I've asked you to stay behind because I was wondering if you'd like to talk about your anger?" she asked. Whoa, Zim thought. I can't take this niceness anymore! It's driving me MAD!!
"WHAT ANGER?!" Zim yelled loudly through clenched teeth. The woman shook her head in response to this answer…
"That anger Zim. Is it problems at school? Or at home? You can tell me Zim," She explained. Zim let out a howl of anger and swung his fists into the air.
"I have no PROBLEMS at home Ms. Bootz! I have to go home NOW, because your personality is going to make me HURL!!" Zim roared and then he sprinted out of the classroom…
