Chapter 1

It was science class, and once again I had forgotten what liquids to put into what glass. "Is it this one?" I asked my partner.

She rolled her eyes and once again repeated, "No you're supposed to put the red liquid in the green, and the blue liquid into the yellow."

I nodded, Okay then, I thought to myself. Ms. Rose then instructed the class, "Alright class, now place your liquids into the correct glasses."

I started to repeat the correct order of the liquids to myself; it was the green in blue? Or wait.. was it the red in the yellow?" That's when I poured the red into the yellow and the blue into the green.

"You should see a mixture beginning to form, and the liquids going on top of each other." Ms. Rose said to the class. But that's not what I saw in mine, the blue and the green started to turn brown and the red and yellow started to sizzle.

"Um is it supposed to sound like that?" I asked my partner. She started yelling at me, "I thought I repeated to you a million times what to put in the liquids! Now this damn things gonna blow!" That's when the red and yellow liquid blew up in our faces and the whole class and Ms. Rose stared at us.

"Professor Membrane, I really don't think this school is fit for Camille. She's failing most of her classes, and is caught falling asleep in the middle of her lessons. She also always seems to be causing serious trouble in her science class. On several occasions the class had to clear out of the room because she mixed explosive liquids together." The headmistress had a stern look on her face.

My dad couldn't actually be there in person so he came in his floating screen self. "I guess you're right. My daughter has been stressed lately and hasn't been getting enough sleep. I'm sure she can be a great scientist if I teach her myself since she won't be going to this school anymore."

I wasn't going to be at Caltin Academy anymore? I started to panic. That would mean I would have to start going to Dibs school, and from what I heard from him, it sounded scary there.

I decided I had wanted to go to Caltin Academy when I heard they had the best science program there and after all, I already knew I wanted to be a great scientist, just like daddy. It was an all girl's school, so it also meant there wouldn't be any boys there to distract me. But now all because of me always having to stay up late doing homework and forgetting things in science class, there was no way I was going to stay here any longer.

"Daddy, you can't send me to Dibs school! There's boys there and plus, I heard the teachers there are really mean, and scary." We were outside of Caltin Academy, after dad agreeing to transfer me out. We were walking straight home. It was only at least 5 blocks away.

"Oh do not worry my daughter. Your brother will be there with you, and so will your sister." He consoled me.

"But they don't have good science programs like Caltin Academy does, and what if the kids don't like me?" He consoled me again, "Now now, don't worry about that. I will teach science with you after school.. if I'm not busy. Now I have to go my daughter, there's some work to be done at the labs."

I sighed, "Okay daddy, bye." I waved at him as his floating screen flew off into the horizon. I continued to walk towards home till I finally reached the famillar dark purple house. I opened the door and found Dib on the couch watching Mysterious Mysteries. "Hey what are you doing home so early?" He asked. I dropped my bag and sat down on the couch with him.

"Well, it's a pretty long story but, starting tomorrow I'll be going to middle skool with you and Gaz."

"Seriously? Oh man I have so much to show you there! There's Ms. Bitters in history class, and plus, I heard that our principal might be a werewolf."

I sighed, Sounds exciting, I thought to myself as Dib babbled on and on.

"But most of all, there's Zim. He'll be probably scheming to do something to you so I'll make sure I protect you from him."

"Zim? Is it that alien guy you're always talking about?" I asked Dib. He nodded his head. "Don't worry, I won't let him get anywhere near you."

I had never actually met or seen Zim before. Dib always told me stories about him and how he had managed to turn them into bologna, fill the whole world up with water, had fought each other with planets, and how he refused to help when Gaz was cursed with pig taste. Sometimes I did hear them fighting outside our house and calling each other names. I guess I was so kept up in my room most of the time working that I never really noticed what was going on or bothered to look outside and see them fighting. I guess I was a little curious to meet him but at the same time I hope he doesn't bother me since I'm Dibs half sister.

Yes, I'm only Dibs half sister. We have the same dad but not the same mother. I came here 6 years ago when I was only 8 and my mother was dead. Even though were not full blood related, were still really close. Same with Gaz, she's always yelling at Dib or hitting him but she has a little soft spot for me since I'm good at playing video games with her. When I came, Dib welcomed me with open arms, while it took Gaz a little longer to get used to me.

So I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

I stared in the mirror at myself, hoping I didn't look too bad. I had my long brown hair tied into pigtails with bows. I had my glasses on with my big brown eyes peeking through. I was wearing my usual outfit other then my school uniform. It was my long sleeved black shirt with my purple dress over it. I had on my favorite black converse.

Alright, I think I'm all set for today, I thought to myself. It was the middle of my 7th grade year and I was going to have to try and make friends and try and get used to the lessons. Hopefully I hadn't missed anything.

I ran down the stairs and grabbed my bag and stood by the door waiting for Dib. Gaz was already there with her Game slave 4. She growled, "What taking him so long? I think I'll just go walk by myself." She opened the front door and started to walk down the street to the middle skool. That's how she was most mornings; sometimes she refused to walk with Dib or just got impatient having to wait for him. He finally rushed down the stairs and to the front door, "She went by herself again, huh?" I nodded.

We started to walk down the path to Middle Skool. Dib babbled on and on about how there were some Bigfoot kids and old man kids and all kinds of paranormal things. I just pretended to listen and nod my head. We finally got to the front and it looked as bad as I had thought. The school was all grimy and the paint looked like it was starting to peel, the inside of the school was worse. The floor was riddled with all kinds of stains. Some of the kids looked lost and some looked like they hadn't showered for a week.

"Well I better go to the office and get my schedule." I said to Dib. "Wait! I'll come with you." He exclaimed.

"No Dib, I can go by myself, you don't have to go with me everywhere. I'm fine, you should be going to your class anyway."

He sighed, "Alright, see you at break." He scurried to his classes.

I walked into the grimy office and went up to the office lady working on some papers. "Um hi, I'm new here. I'm pretty sure my dad called ahead to let you know I transferred here. My names Camille, I'm the sister of Dib and Gaz."

She looked up at me and started to have recognition on her face. "Ah yes! Camille! I have your schedule right here." She handed the paper to me. I walked out of the office and looked through my schedule. I had English as first period. I wasn't sure where it was though. Oh man, now I don't know where to go, I should have kept Dib with me. I saw all of the kids rushing off to their classes in packs. I sighed and then noticed a green kid by his locker taking out some books. Maybe he knows, I thought.

I started to walk up to him as he continued to go through his books in his locker. "Um excuse me, but do you know where English class is?" I stood there waiting for him to answer. He still hadn't looked at me when I spoke. That's when he turned around to answer me, I suddenly felt something. I already knew who he was before Dib even told me. It was.. Zim. The alien Dib had always told me about, and here he was standing in front of me. He glared at me as he said, "Its over to your right human." As he pointed to my right, I saw the English classroom in front of me. He snarled and walked off mumbling to himself. Then I started to blush and think to myself,

What just happened?
