Chapter Four: Enter the Winnie-Creature
8:55 AM Hallways
The science rooms were found at the very front of the school. Dib and Zim walked on opposite sides of the hallway trying to keep some distance from each other. Looking over out of the corner of his eye, Dib could still see Zim. Every turn he made Zim copied him step for step, except for the fact Zim was goose-stepping rather than walking.
"Stop following me Zim!" Dib yelled across the hall. A few people stared at them.
"I'm following you?! Ha! You're the one following me!"
Finally, they both arrived at the same room. They scowled at their misfortune. Dib double checked his schedule just in case he had made a mistake. No. He hadn't. Mrs. Suite's science class in room thirty-two. Zim shot one last glare before walking into the class ahead of Dib. Fan-freaking-tastic…Dib's bitter sarcasm mumbled in his head. Slowly, he walked in and saw Zim had snagged a seat in the front like he normally did. The room was a typical science class room. Instead of desks there were lab stations with stools, sinks, and Bunsen burners. He decided that it would be better to sit behind Zim. You know, for keeping an eye on him! Dib choose a spot two rows back next to a chocolate colored girl who was resting her head on her books. Her hair was done in bright pink corn rows and it suited her facial structure very well. As he took off his backpack he smacked the poor girl over the head!
"I'm so sorry! It was a total accident!" He cried out! He was nervous she would recognize him from the news or something. His spirits began to sink as he was sure that she would move, but she didn't. In fact, she didn't even acknowledge his existence. That is until she spoke;
"Whatever. I'm too tired to give a crap…" At the apathetic reply Dib sighed. She seemed nice, but of course that could be because she was too sleepy to deal with him. He decided to poke a little further.
"So… Um! Hi! I'm Dib! What's your name?"
The girl rolled her head around to look at him. She had soft almond eyes with a touch of pink. That pink was the blood vessels in her eyes… Dib bit his lip and waited for eminent rejection as always.
"Let's get this over with… Hi, I'm Winnie Woods. I just moved here, my favorite color is red, I hate stupid animals, my dad is a stupid business man for some stupid company, my stupid birthday is October 14th, I'm a vegetarian, and I really just want some stupid sleep now! Okay?" Winnie slammed her head down on her books. Well, someone's favorite word was 'stupid'.
"Um! Cool! It's nice to meet you?" Dib supposed. She was definitely not a morning person. Sighing Winnie looked up again.
"I'll be okay in a little while. I'm just not use to this time zone that's all."
Was that an apology or a statement? Who cares! Someone is actually talking to me! Dib smiled really wide. Maybe this would be a good year after all! Elated in these thoughts, the bell rang and an impossibly plump and cheery woman pranced into the class room. It was none other than the science teacher, Mrs. Suite.
