Chapter 1

Zim

I sit down at my desk in the high Skool and start to doodle. When Ms. Bitters slithers in with a girl behind her I instantly feel entranced by her beauty. She was looking down at the ground as Ms. Bitters introduced her to the class. "Class this is Snow Mason. She came all the way here from Canada. Lord knows why."

She slithers to her desk and sits down telling Snow to sit in the seat between me and Dib, who is gawking at her as much I probably am. I just want to run my fingers through her black and purple hair, which you wouldn't be able to tell was purple underneath if it weren't in its ponytail. Her skin is super pale and I notice that her nails are painted black as they clacked on the desk while Dib tried to convince her that I was an alien.

She looks up at him and says, "You know your skin can turn green from a lot of stuff. Zim could have a condition where his organs fail a lot."

Dib just humphs and turns back to his work. I take this chance to introduce myself. "Hi," I hold my hand out as a greeting earthlings use, "My name is Zim. It is a pleasure to have you in our class."

She shakes my hand and smiles showing off a perfect set of white teeth encased in dark purple lipstick. "Hi. I can't say I'm as happy to be here, with all these filthy kids everywhere, but I think it'll grow on me. Besides, if it doesn't there is only a year and a half left." She shrugs and then notices my Black Veil Brides t-shirt. "Where did you get that?"

"Hot Topic, where else?"

Her face brightens making her look one thousand times more beautiful. "There's a mall around this place!" I nod and she gets super giddy. She grabs my shoulders and practically yells, "You have to take me after school!" I just nod and she smiles going back to drawing.


I'm walking out of the high Skool when Snow runs up behind me and grabs my arm. "Hey Zim are you gonna take me to the mall or what?"

I smile at her and laugh at her abruptness. "Yeah I am. Come on." I flip the hair of my new wig and lead her to my space ship which, since I gave up on taking over the world, I turned into a black convertible Beetle. "Do you want to just go to Hot Topic or do you want to walk around? We could go to the food court."

"Sure, we can go to the food court." She smiles as start the car and pull out of the parking lot. "We can go to the Converse outlet if you want."

Her big brown eyes light up, "There's a Converse outlet! We have to go!"

I chuckle and drive down the road.
