Invader Zim belongs to Viacom, not me.
Chapter Two.
Begin With Flattery.
-x-
Zim was just returning to his fourth period class when the bell rang. Out rushed the chaos, pouring out of every door, slamming each other against lockers, gossipping, sharing test answers, the usual.
The Irken rushed to his locker. Halfway there, he noticed he was walking right past Gaz. Remembering how Mr. Loogy had referred to her as the smartest student in the school, he took his chances, even though he knew he was facing a black eye just making eye contact. Inhaling deeply, he tapped on her shoulder. She spun around.
"What do you want?" she asked dully.
"Erm, Gaz," he began. "I couldn't help but notice your intellegent brain. Indeed, it is far more superior than most human brains."
Begin with flattery, he told himself. Gaz just stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Okay, look. Zim needs a... as you humans call it... a tu tor," he spat out.
Gaz perked an eyebrow. "So you're saying you want me to help you, right?" Zim nodded.
"Pffft, wow. What have you been smoking?" she laughed. When she saw Zim's serious face, his eyes large, pleading with her to help him, she sighed. "Don't tell me it's some scheme to destroy my brother or something."
"No, no," Zim assured. "Zim will save that for another day. All Zim wants is to do better with his study."
Gaz thought over it, then finally answered, "Today after school. Your house. I'll wait thirty minutes after the dismissal bell before making my way there, just so that my annoying brother won't know; that way he won't pester me about it. Got it? 'Kay. Bye."
And with that she left. Zim walked away, relieved. It had been easier than he expected. Not to mention, he had made it through an entire conversation with the Gaz-human without sufffering any injuries.

"Hey, Gaz," Dib greeted his little sister after school. "You coming?"
"No," she replied. "I have... detention."
She knew that this wasn't the best excuse, but what could she say? It's the most convincing, considering her attitude.
"Detention?" Dib questioned, shocked. "What for?"
"Er, talking back to the teacher," she made up.
Dib gave her a questioning glance. Then he shrugged it off. "Okay then, see you when you get home," he akwardly said as he walked out of the building.
Gaz thought it was funny. What teacher would dare giving her detention? Gaz owned the school and everyone in it. No one wanted to get on her bad side. Or rather, too much of her bad side. After all, was there really anyone who wasn't on her bad side?
So Gaz strolled through the school hallway for thirty minutes. Most of the teachers gave her a curious glance, but didn't bother to stop her and ask what she was doing. Finally, at 3:30, Gaz left the school and made her way to Zim's house.
Again, next chapter up after at least seven reviews. Yes, that's going to be the rules for the fanfiction. For each chapter, I want at least seven reviews before I post the next chapter. Thank you!
Again, tips and advice are always welcome!
Invader Gigi out!
