Ladies and Gentlemen, I have returned! I was afraid to return cuz my typist graduated from our high school, making it impossible to make her do all my typing. But I have gotten over that fear and am finally typing again! AND I updated this story for you! I'm so nice. Xp
Anyhoo, on to the next chapter!
Bittersweet
My throat was on fire, but that was the least of my worries.
This sensation inside was so confusing. Dib and I had been mortal enemies for seven human years now! Why was this unsettling sensation appearing now!?
What did it mean?
"Zim!"
I winced. "Yes?"
It was barely a croak, but she heard. "You're zoning out. Pay attention or I'll send you to the underground classroom. For the rats."
"Yes, Mrs. Bitters," I weezed. A few desks to my left, I could here Dib snickering...
It was warming my squeedily spooch.
I moaned and laid my head in my hands. Stupid sensation! Just thinking of that earth-worm made my mind go fuzzy and hazy!
"Oh, and class, you may have failed to notice that one of you pathetic children is not here. They were diagnosed with the flu and it's highly possible you all caught it. So, if you're going to catch it, you'd better not miss class unless you're dying."
A human illness? I swallowed nervously. I hoped I didn't catch it.
"Well, I'm not catchin it!" Dib announced proudly. "My dad get us a flu shot! I just wonder how an alien immune systen reacts to a new disease!"
"And you'll have to keep wondering, Dib," Ms. Bitters snapped. "Now, shut up and sit down!"
I glanced at Dib, who smirked smugly, and felt my heart beat rapidly. None of this made sence!
Worst of all, under all my confusion over this sensation, I didn't mind it. In fact, I enjoyed it!
This sensation was a bittersweet nightmare. And I didn't want to wake up.
Looking at Dib's triumphant grin, I realized Dib couldn't find out. Ever.
