His two maroon colored eyes gazed out of his contact eyes, which turned them an odd color, his focus was on the current winter storm outside, he had been on the planet for years and was now in there Hi-Skool buildings, he was a junior and like always the class was of little importance to him. A ruler hitting his desk quickly brought his attention to the teacher, he said," Mr. Zim I'm sure since you were paying little attention you already know about Napoleon Bonaparte correct?"
Zim shrugged and said," Zim has read of the man why do you ask?" The teacher seemed to fume as anger built up in him, turning sharply he walked back to his desk, he said," Because this is world history Zim! And you are supposed to learn about Napoleon during this segment!" Zim sighed as he retrieved the book from his PAK.
The bell rang a little while after, Zim pulled his stuff into his PAK and walked away, his teacher said," Not so fast Zim, not until you take this slip for ignoring class." Zim shook his head as he snatched the paper angrily, looking down he already knew it was a detention slip, he had gotten these before and wasn't surprised he got one.
His next two classes went by rather quickly, his art teacher was Mr. Imagaski, the man was rather nice however strict in his way of how to do things, Zim was surprised to find out he was surprisingly good at drawing, his teacher had a special class next year for him and other talented kids, Zim was pleased he reached the higher ranking class.
His previous class was less then important to him, his health teacher was Ms. Carell and despite how her name sounded, she could care less about anyone, she was one of the strictest teachers, Zim and Dib happened to share her class, Dib made a fool of himself and had to stay after for five minutes, Zim laughed as he walked away and into the lunch room.
Outside Gaz walked past most of the now frozen ground to the table away from the others, sitting down she pulled out her game system, mashing the buttons she continued to slay all of the vampire pigs on her game, passing several levels she quickly saved the game and entered the boss zone, she was beginning the fight when she could hear an unmistakable voice," Gaz-human."
Gaz merely nodded in response as Zim walked by her and pulled himself into the tree nearby, resting his back against the limb that was angled, he closed his eyes resting there. Zim decided to sit up on the tree when they first arrived at the Hi-Skool three years back, the year afterwards, Dib's sister and eventually Din himself sat at the table right by it, Gaz sat there because no one else even approached it and that Zim was much more relaxed and quiet while sitting there.
They both let out a sigh," Gaz, sorry I'm late Zim got me in trouble again!" Dib ran up to the table and sat down, to both of their disappointments, Gaz and Zim had actually made a deal a few years back that as long as the other stayed out of the others plans then they would not have a confrontation and could be "friends" as they stated it.
Gaz said uninterested," And how did Zim do that?" She was still mashing her buttons as she waited for his response, Dib pointed and replied," He purposely got me enraged and caused Ms. Carell to get angry and yell at me for the end of class!" Zim smirked down from his perched position and said," Dib-monkey it was you who burst with anger, Zim did not yelp in anger like you did?"
Dib growled under his breath as he continued his glare, Zim shook his head, with an amused smile he rested once again, Dib smirked as he drew out a pile of snow and compacted it together, tossing it with incredible force he knocked the alien out of the tree, upon landing, his eyes slowly looked up to Dib, in a half glare.
He shook the snow off of his uniform and wiped it from his spiked hair (some time back he had switched the small hair style to a longer spiked hair style) straightening out he glared back at Dib who was still smirking, Zim turned and said," I Zim do not need to beat you In such a boring game, would be too easy if the mighty Zim was to face you, now be gone dirt-child."
Zim shooed him off but Dib merely sat down and began eating his lunch which was growing colder from waiting too long to eat. Zim sighed as he picked up the item that had fallen from his hands, a small little box with red letters and was casted in silver, tucking it in his PAK he turned and walked away, the bell soon followed a he entered his class, normally he would have tried to be late, but he was already there.
Sitting in his seat he noticed that most of the kids were already missing from the Skool building as the class was finally in, there were five kids missing, smiling he was thinking of what would be happening to them, his mischief thoughts were interrupted as someone walked up to him," Hey Zim still hanging out with Dib?"
Zim smirked and said," Letter M-human you know I only sit with him because I made a truce with his sister not to fight with him all the time, so I am doing everyone a favor, Zim is great!" The Letter M nodded and said," Yah just wanted to check is all, hey did you do the homework for math, I lost track of time and forgot?"
Zim nodded and pulled the said assignment from his PAK, the Letter M looked it over and hastily scribbled down what it said, smiling he turned, while leaving he said," thanks Zim!" Zim sighed and said," Letter M-human you didn't put my name at the top of the paper right?" The Letter M shouted for a second and then hastily erased on the paper, Zim smirked and shook his head.
In the time Zim had been in Skool, he had only really become "friends" with a few people who he believed he could trust do to their actions and what they thought of Dib, they were, the Letter M, Gaz, and Zida sort of. Zim grabbed the worksheets the teacher passed out and quickly finished them making sure each was correct before returning them.
Zim's last class was over quickly since it was one he could at least find amusement in, science was fun because of the destruction most caused, that day someone had slipped the wrong mixture into the beaker and it exploded in his face, Zim chuckled at the kids pain and humiliation, hopping out of his chair as the bell rang he sighed as he entered detention.
Despite the name, detention was actually better then it sounded, the teacher was never there and when there was one they usually only stayed the first ten minutes and came in the last five to tell everyone to leave. Zim noticed that there was no one else in the room, amusing to him he sat down and pulled out a book with Irken symbols on it.
After reading to the second chapter on page 259 the door was flung open and the teacher shouted," Alright you can go now Zim." Zim chuckled as he knew this teacher from the three years he had spent in detention (not the full lengths, but he had been there at least once every year). Zim sat on his tree once again, the sun was barely visible thought the clouds above as he looked up.
Smiling to himself he withdrew a sketch book from his PAK, flipping through he had only drawn three drawings that were finished, each highly detailed however. The first was of a female warrior he had named Xita, she had long purple hair that flowed behind her, she was wearing bronze armor with purple-black fabric that covered her chest, waist down, and her legs and arms. She was a pale color, her eyes light brown. In the background of the picture there was a destroyed ship that looked to have been alien in origin, and all around fire and bodies ley scorched.
The drawing afterwards was a tall scientist clad in a black lab uniform that was more of a trench coat, metal plating was around his arms and legs, around his collar was a similar material of metal, he was wearing glasses one side of which was twisted and broken, he had a dark red metallic eye on the right side of his face, which replaced his missing eye, the metal around it went from the tip of his forehead around the eye in a diamond shape and down to where his cheek bone was, the metal was white and very bright. He had metal boots that looked similar to a general's, his hair was a foot long and draped down to where the collar of his jacket met it, his name was Professor Markus, he was in a strange lab with hundreds of imprisoned aliens and other creatures.
His final drawing was a man similar in height to the Professor before, he had spikey hair which seemed to be pointed at the tip, his eyes were a red but it was glossy looking, his suit was dark red, on his shoulders were dark grey pauldrons that at the end of each held on to the long black cape that flowed behind him, he had black leathery boots and gloves on, on his head was a metal strand with a strange gem in it, his name was Verge, the background behind him was destroyed and desolate like Xita's.
Flipping to the next page he carefully began to construct his newest drawing, he had the three but he needed something else, something more form the idea, a smile crept on his face as he drawing sped up, he was to wrapped up to notice someone walk up to him, after waiting sighing they said," Zim what are you doing here?"
Zim was shocked at the sudden voice, looking down from his drawing he noticed Gaz looking up at him, her clothes were covered in snow and she was wearing a uniform on, he was disgusted with the fact of how short the shorts actually were, he said after thinking," I was in detention and decided to draw while I could still relax."
The sketch book was instantly out of his hands, hopping down he tried to stop Gaz but she easily pushed him aside, flipping to the first page she scanned over it, she continued to th next two, turning she asked," Um any reason you drew Me, Dib, and yourself like this?" Zim rose and eyebrow, racing over he had begun to see the connections to themselves, smiling embarrassedly he said," I honestly had no idea I was drawing us, I came up with an idea for a fun little story and Zim wanted to design characters, she is Xita, he I Professor Markus, and this is Verge."
Gaz hit his arm and said," Well don't feel upset about it, there pretty good, maybe you will get into Mr. Imagaski's advanced class next year." Zim's eyes opened wider he asked surprised," you are in his room next year too?" Gaz tilted her head and then said," Oh, so he already accepted you, well yah I was always interests in drawing Zim, that and games, but he said I have a real talent for it and signed me up, so is this what you're working on next?"
She flipped the page, her eyes widened a bit, a small bush seemed to appear on her face but she quickly pushed it aside, Zim smacked his face he remembered he had happened to be drawing the romantic seen for the story and was able to finish the faces before he was halted, the two kissing of course were Xita and Verge.
Green rushed to his face but it was a subtle change and no one would really be able to tell the difference, Zim rubbed the back of his head, he felt awkward because she had thought he was drawing them before h told them the characters and she probably still did, so it was a bit strange to see it like that, handing it back she said," well you better finish it, just you had better not put anything to in-appropriate, it is just the kiss for now."
Zim was going to ask what she meant but her lips pressing against his quickly halted all means of thinking, she pulled away and nodded her head before turning and walking away, she said behind her," That is between you and me right." Zim took a few seconds to process what she said but nodded as he registered it, after that she was gone, he hadn't noticed he dropped his book, when he noticed it at his feet, reaching down he picked it up and walked off, unaware of the being who was present at the time, and the flash that took place before that.
This chapter is probably a little shorter than most of the other chapters not by much but sorry if it's not long enough.
