Dib had decided many things as his face crossed paths with a blotchy, orange ball.

One of them was that he did not like dodge-ball very much. His large glasses that framed his head, his unfortunately large head, slid onto his nose. The concrete was hot and scraped his knees as he wiped his forehead of sweat and adjusted his glasses. It felt like the glass windows were calling him, beckoning for him to go inside. He took off his black jacket and tied it around his waist as he sat down, cross legged.

Another ball hit his arm.

Tending to his scrape, Dib decided another thing.

"Ha ha ha ha! You weak human!"

He really didn't like Zim.

The lanky, green alien fell to his back in laughter. His nemesis being hit in his head? Priceless apparently. Zim rolled onto his side, pounding the concrete with his fist.

"Ahem," a large shadow fell over him.

"Ah, it's such a hideous beast!" Zim recoiled and shook in disgust, hiding his eyes. Cowering back, he began to open them with a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's just you, Miss Bitters."

She'd hissed.

"The only three minutes I give you for recess, and you are on the ground? And you," She pointed towards Dib. In disgust, she muttered, "Dib."

"That's it!" She yelled across the playground. "Since these two want to sit down, recess is over! Inside, now!"

Dib had also decided he didn't like Miss Bitters, either.

Students groaned as they tossed balls aside and pushed over Dib, sighing. "That dumb giant headed kid ruins everything." One murmured to their friend. Dib scowled. His head wasn't that big. Sitting up, he gave a sigh of relief. Inside was good, outside had too many noises, too many distractions. He could focus on his research. The crowd of kids broke off, leaving Zim on the ground. He was still laughing. Dib shook his head.

"Zim," He tapped Zim's chest with his foot. "Get up, we're going inside. Come on."

"And why would I go with you, you filthy-"

"Would you rather deal with me or Miss Bitters?"

Zim traced his eyes to the window. Miss Bitters' eyes were gray and empty. And evil. And they stared through Zim's contacts. He shivered.

"Fine, Dib. But you know that I'm deciding to go in myself." He stood, eyes closed, head back, and arms resting on his back. He trotted inside the school. Dib groaned but soon followed. But he wouldn't let Zim get to him today. Today would be a good day.

That's another thing he decided.
