Dib's POV

I woke up in the morning feeling like crap. My head felt like it was going to explode, my stomach felt like I had swallowed a pumpkin and I couldn't feel my legs. I rolled over on my side to look at my alarm clock. I saw that I was already 40 minutes late for class.

"Shit!" I said as I got up from my bed and got dressed. As soon as I was ready to go I got in my new car that dad had bought me for my 16th birthday and drove off. I was not in the mood to drive or go to school, but I was already flunking almost all of my classes and I couldn't afford another tardy.

I ran into class as fast as I could. Panting and sweating as if I had just ran a marathon. "Dib!" Shouted my first period teacher, Mr. Grouch "You're Late! This is the fifth time this week!" he said angrily. "If this happens one more time I will have no choice but to notify your parents!"

I rolled my eyes. The only parent I have left is my father and he doesn't give a crap about what I do. He spends all of his time at work and never paid attention to me or Gaz Since our mom left.

I took a seat next to Zim because it was the last seat available in the class room. I still hated Zim! No one ever believed me about Zim being an alien and he still tried to take over my planet. Not that I was worried. It had been 7 years and he hadn't managed to take over anything. Everyone still hated me because of Zim and I had absolutely no friends, but that's okay because some times in life you've just got to find ways to make it alone and keep a straight face instead of bursting into tears.

I clutched my Stomach, I still felt sick from when I woke up this morning. I groaned from the pain. "What's wrong Dib-Weakling?" Zim said smugly "Did your filthy human body fall victim to one of your deadly human diseases?"

"Shut up you over grown, mutant, serpent with limbs!" I snapped. "I'm not dying! I'll always be here to save the world from your evil reign of terror!" I said a bit too loud for the entire class to hear. Everyone looked at us and laughed. They all still thought I was crazy and were constantly making fun of me. They made fun of Zim too which kind of makes me mad. It's not like I care about Zim, it's just that I'm the only who should be tormenting him not those other bastards.

Mr. Grouch walked up to us "That's it! You need go to the principal's office right now!" he shouted in my direction. Zim had a cocky grin on his face. "And you too Zim!" I looked at Zim to see his smirk had disappeared. Zim and I got up and walked to the door leading to the hallway.

We both walked down in the principal Mr. Meany's office and sat down "I hope you two realize that I'm not happy with you." He started. "You've both been sent to me almost every week this year!" He's screamed. He stopped to rub his eyes in frustration. "So what is it this time?" he asked.

"Same as always," I said "He was being a Jackass and I got pissed."Zim glared at me with his big eyes and scoffed at my comment.

"Zim has no clue what you are talking about strange human!" he said "Zim is not an 'ass of jack' like you say. I was merely minding my own normal human business when the Dib-smell decided to open his gigantic mouth."

I rolled my eyes "First of all my mouth is not big, Second of all it's pronounced 'Jackass', and Third there is nothing normal about you." I retorted.

"Let's see how normal my fist looks when it hits your ugly human face!" he shouted as he stood up in his chair and wagged his finger in my face.

I swiped is finger away from my face. "That doesn't even make sense!" I said standing up for my chair and shook my fist in his direction.

"Stop it right now you two!" Shouted Mr. Meany angrily "This is getting out of hand! So until you to learn to get along, you are required to spend all of your time together during the school day!"

Zim and I looked up at the principal with huge eyes "What!" We both shouted at the same time. I couldn't believe what he had just said.

"That's right." He said "Both of you have to spend all of your time together all day. That shouldn't be too hard given the fact that you already share all the same classes."

"So you're saying all day?" I said with a panicked voice "Like during class, in the hallways, during lunch and in the restrooms!" This was not good. I mean I spent most of my time spying on Zim any way, but actually being forced to BE with him all day did not sound appealing.

"That's right," He said "It's the only way you two will learn to get along and if I here from a teacher that you have been separated you will be suspended for a month! So you better get started." I buried my face into my hands. This was going to be hell.
