First day in skool, I am not kidding that is what they call it, the first thing I notice is the teacher, her reptilian moving patterns aside she is the normal old women, even if I am not sure she is human, maybe Dib isn't so crazy after all. After we said our names and got into our seats the class begun and it would induce a normal human to have a deep existential crisis, but since no one was paying attention and even if they did they wouldn't get anything, meanwhile Julia and I were holding up the best we could as the teacher slowly eroded the concept of life having any meaning whatsoever, after the class ended Julia and I went to the cafeteria, the food was awful but it was food, Julia and I sat side by side, Dib went over and started starring at me, I could easily hear the children whispering about the "weird new kid", they were not wrong but I really didn't care at this point.
The rest of the day was normal I talked to no one but Julia and we went home, when I came home I began my homework, it was really simple, when I finished it I returned to my books. Julia was talking to Gaz again and Dib was staring at me from the window of my room.
"Could you get of the window, you giant head is blocking the air flow." I told him, he fell down as he didn't expect me to spot him.
"How did you see me?" He asked as he got up. "And my head isn't big."
"I could see the reflection in the mirror, and yes it is very big." I said as I pointed to the mirror I placed on the wall that allowed me to see the window even when laid on my bed.
"You are hiding something and I won't give up until I find out what it is." Dib vowed as he walked away from the window, I ignored him and got back to my book.
Those thing went on for some time, I couldn't believe how my life changed, I am now in another universe with a new life and I already read all the fiction and historical books in the house, I asked Membrane what he recommended me to start reading to entertain myself he seemed excited that I was looking into science and recommended a few books in the house, homework was a still very simple except of grammar I always had trouble with it but even that was becoming easier as I applied myself.
"You know Dib, I have been here for two months already, if I was planning to take over or exterminate the people in this world or eating brains I would have done it by now." I said to Dib as I looked at my homework, this time I wasn't sure he was there but after some time you could guess he was there and almost always be right.
"Okay there is no way you could have seen me." He said as he stepped out of the shadows he was wearing a black ninja suit.
"After the last three times I said that and you weren't here I thought I was losing the edge."I said as I smiled at him, he flinched as he saw the sadistic smile I had. On the table there were some books some from school some from Membranes library, I was building a radio to pass time.
"What is that" He pointed at the radio, it was just a mess of different parts, and I took the opportunity to mock him.
"This is the ultimate weapon Dib, it will destroy the life o thousands and what spawns from it will do even more…"I said, he looked fearful for a while.
"It is… a radio, I made it myself."I said and he scowled at me for making him get worried.
"Why are you building a radio?" He asked me.
"I got bored after two months I already read all the books worth reading in this house, by the end of the year I will be building spaceships at this rate." I told him jokingly.
He just looked at me and left the room; every time he would confront me I would find a way to mock him so any confrontation was useless.
"Just why, why did you come here was it just to bother me?" Dib exclaimed as he looked at me.
"I didn't mean to come here; it wasn't my doing I told you that already." I said as I tweaked the radio, it was entertaining enough, both bothering Dib and building the radio.
Dib grunted and left the room, and Julian entered, she looked at me and asked.
"Were you going to be an engineer back home?" She asked and I realized we didn't ask what we were going to do in college.
"No I was going for history actually, and you?" I asked her as I looked away from the radio.
"Psychology, I didn't even have the chance to begin." She lamented.
"Me neither, what you have been doing with Gaz?" I asked her, they were spending some time together over the last two months.
"We have been playing games, they are not as advanced as the ones back home but they have very good ones." She said.
"So their video games are not bad here, good to know." I said as I finished up the radio and turned it on.
"What are you doing? You are not going to become a mad scientist like the Professor are you?" She asked me as she eyed the radio.
"It is just a radio look, "I flipped through the several bandwidths as I heard chatter from the radio stations."See nothing too fancy, but those games can I take a look at them?"
"Sure, come on." She motioned me to go with her. And it was a glorious few hours playing.
Professor Membrane was coming home to commemorate the financial success of Super Toast, the children seemed to be adapting well, Julia and Gaz became friends, and Markus and Dib didn't like each other but also didn't hate each other. As Membrane made his way to the children's room he noticed no one was in there and before he left he noticed something on the desk, there was a small radio there, must be Markus', it was working very well and he seemed to have made it with some of the spare parts, the boy could become a scientist in a few years at this rate. He often would forget those children were far older than they appeared, he then looked for them he eventually found them in Gaz's room playing games.
"Hello children, since Super toast was a success I have decided to take you all to celebrate it!" Membrane said as he entered the room, Gaz was happy on the inside and paused the game without any form of protest and went to get Dib so they could go to their usual pizza place.
"Is it that toast that increases you muscle mass for a few hours?" Markus asked Membrane.
"Yes Markus and it also is very nutritive and is safe to be consumed. And I saw the radio you assembled, well done." Membrane praised the boy.
"So are we going to the pizza place Gaz likes?" Julia said before Markus could say anything else.
"Yes, I already got Dib we go now." Gaz said from the door carrying a struggling Dib with her.
When they arrived there, Markus and Julie were horrified by the place, animatronics and people in animal suits, children acting like animals, it was total chaos, but the pizza was good so good.
Julia and I have been here for six months, our vacation started and ended in this world and soon it would start again, I was still tinkering around with several things, Professor Membrane sometimes work with me, teaching me more and more about science in this world, I didn't even need to study the skool books anymore, other than grammar of course and some things not used in science, the greatest thing I made so far was a battery that actually stores energy, not like regular ones no it will hold energy for thousands of years if it is no used, Membrane was impressed and so was I, in just six months I have learned a lot, sadly it makes Dib more suspicious of me he even tried alien cuffs on me, the plastic trinkets were useless.
I was trying to make a gun now, an energy weapon just like science fiction movies and stuff, next a powered armor suit, the gun using my battery is going nicely but Membrane doesn't know about it, I don't want to give this world a potential weapon of mass destruction especially when it is stupid enough to use it. Julia is learning how to program, she likes games a lot and could easily create a revolutionary game along with Gaz who would probably will finish all available games soon and will have to create new ones, but right now I am in the lab working on my gun, it looks like a revolver but instead of bullets there is a battery, I am testing the energy emitter also known as the guns barrel, it is very simple and I am using another battery to power it, as I put on the glasses I start it, I doesn't immediately explode so that is good, it glows for a moment it is powered, I press another button and a small dot of light hit the slab of concrete I got from a abandoned building, it destroyed it and hit the metal target behind bending the metal alloy, maybe it was a little too much, a few more tests and it will be ready.
"So, you made an energy weapon as well." Membrane materialized in the screen, making me jump. "Don't worry I understand you wouldn't want other to know, if you want to I have a few inventions I hid as well, the world isn't ready to many of them."He said as he looked at me.
"Really, well next time you come here we could talk about it then I don't think something like that could be discussed trough any means that could be invaded."I said as I looked at him, he seemed to smile.
"Of course, we will meet soon then."He said before he turned off the monitor, I need a secret lair or something.
As I continued to test the chamber I could hear the lab door opening, Dib. I hid my things and hid in the dark, Dib was looking around he had a firm look in his face, he walked in front of me and I started to silently follow him, after some time I leaned into his ear and yelled:
"FOUND SOMETHIN YET!"His reaction was priceless he jumped very high as he looked at me, all I did was laugh.
"Why did you do that?"He asked angry, I simply smiled.
"Why are you always spying on me?"I countered his question.
"I am not spying on you."He said.
"Yes you are I found the cameras in my room, I didn't come here just because the equipment is better." I told him knowingly.
"Fine, but you were doing strange things there" He tried to defend himself.
"You do weirder stuff, look we both should go sleep now, and we both have school tomorrow."I told him as I pushed him out of the lab.
We then left the lab and went to bed. The next day Mrs. Bitters said there was a new appendage to the student body as she presenter it, it was green its eyes way too big to be a human, it had no ears or nose and he talked in a weird way, I could see Dib pointing at him from my seat, his reactions were hilarious, the alien was able to evade Dib very easily for most part, but the alien as well as the humans was very stupid, I could see him ready to press a button in his clove with something written in it, I will discover how to read that one day, as the day ended and Dib chased the alien with his cuffs I smiled, it would be a interesting year.
ZIIIIIIIIIIIIM has arrived, the gun Markus is going is like Ronan's from stargate if anyone is wondering, and please review if you think the story is good and I will see you guys later.
