The rest of the school day had gone painstakingly slow. At least that's what it really seemed like to the purple headed girl. After what seemed like ages, the first actual break had finally crawled along into the boring day. All of her classmates had run out of the classroom upon the lunch bell ringing, not even giving their 'oh so happy' teacher a chance to dismiss them. Guess homework will have to be postponed. Again. She sighed, once again being the last to pack up and leave but luckily had also left the room before her teacher noticed she was the last one left for a moment. Walking down the halls, she enjoyed her moment of solitude, ignoring those preppy cheerleaders and their damn pets everyone called 'jocks'. Sadly, her short lived happiness was completely ruined when none other than Dib rushed straight to her.
"Gaz! Where the hell is my flash drive!" he practically yelled at the small girl, obviously fuming. She rolled her eyes at him, fixing the strap of her school bag.
"Why do you even need it, Dib? When are you just going to let all of this none sense go?!" Gaz countered back at him, indirectly admitting that she was in fact the one who took the drive away from him, causing him to glare at her.
"Gaz! I had a freakin' presentation! Do you know how embarrassing it was to present with no evidence?! I was supposed to prove the existence of a ghost today!" he continued to fume at her, grabbing his little sister's arm harshly, drawing the attention of some people in the hall who immediately hushed to watch and listen to their little show.
"DON'T touch me!" she yelled back, pulling her arm away from him. "I'm trying to help you, Dib! You need to stop obsessing over this crap!" she continued to yell, drawing more attention until the whole hallway was practically frozen.
"HELP me?! How! I'm allowed to be who I want to be, can't I?! Hell, mom was really the ONLY one who believed in me, isn't she!" he argued, his eyes pricking with slight tears of frustration and remembrance of their mother who they barely got to know. Gaz frowned at him, shaking slightly in frustration as well.
"Well news flash, big brother. Mom's not here anymore..." she muttered quietly, mostly to herself than to him surprisingly. Before he could even think, he had immediately responded.
"And you know why she's not here anymore? Because of you!" he yelled practically for the whole school to hear, causing a last body to freeze at the sudden commotion, their inhuman gaze landing on the two. Silence filled the entire school. Everyone watched with wide eyes, including the small girl who for once, seemed hurt. After a moment to process what he had just yelled, his eyes soon softened at his sister, his mouth looking for words to take back what he had just yelled.
"Gaz... I-" he started off, only to be cut off when she had shut her eyes tightly and pushed him out of her way.
"Leave me alone..." she growled at him, slowly picking up her pace and heading to the school's exit as everyone stared after her, then back at the guilty one.
"Gaz! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" he yelled, trying to apologize for his mistake and trying to get to her. Her only response was to speed her pace towards the door into a full sprint, shoving the doors away and leaving the campus as fast as she could. All eyes once again landed on Dib who knowingly stood and stared sadly after his sister. A few eyes stared at him what shock and the rest of the gazes made the sickening feeling in his stomach worse. He nearly jumped at a sudden voice behind him after most of the audience had continued on with their business.
"You know, I may not know as much about you humans..." a voice started, causing the tall boy to look behind him, meeting an all familiar extra terrestrial. "But I know for a fact that what you just did was..." he wiggled his claws around, thinking for the right words, "fucked up, as how your species puts it." he muttered at the boy, sending him a disapproving look as he walked away from him as well. "All the more reason to despise you." he added before turning down the hall. Dib simply looked at him, the tears pricking at his eyes a lot more at this point. What had he done?
Sorry about the previous technical issues! But I was able to fix them :3 Hope you guys enjoyed!
