If Only It Were True

Chapter 1
She moved to this small, strange town, her and her mother. She entered the skool classroom, silence fell. They saw her as weird, they saw her as girl with blue hair, and nothing more. She was much more. She was wise, she was beautiful, inside and out. She was human, she was open minded... She was Bernadette Diego. She was Dib's crush.
Dib forgot everything else in the world when he saw her. He forgot there was ever a world, all he knew was that there was a girl named Bernadette Diego. He saw her, her blue wavy long hair, her beautiful tanned skin, she was an angel in his eyes.
At lunch, Dib saw her sitting all alone, this was his chance. He walked over to her, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, Bernadette?"
"Yes?"
Her voice, he heard her voice... he melted, but managed to say, "H-hi, um can I sit here?"
"It's a free country, isn't it?" she smiled.
"Thanks." They ate their lunch together in silence, until Bernadette finally asked, "What's up with that green kid?"
"Zim?"
"Yeah, I don't mean to sound--"
"He's an alien," Dib said cutting in. Damn, he ruined it. This girl probably thought he was crazy.
Bernadette looked at Zim, studied him for a while, then said, " Hmm... he does look strange... Like that backpack thingie, and ears.. what about ears? Don't kids need ears?"
" Exactly! But no one ever--"
"Believes you," she said finishing his sentence.
"Yeah, how did you--"
"I have the same problem."
At that moment Dib knew that they were meant for each other. He looked into her perfect hazel colored eyes, "I find that hard to believe," He said in a low voice.
"See?"
"What?"
"You don't believe me."
"Oh, but it's not if I think you're crazy or something! It's just you seem so... so.. perfect."
"Now, that's crazy. I'm far from perfect. I don't think anyone is perfect."
"Well, you are nice. I mean, no one sits by me, besides my sister, but you did."
"Well, I try to be as far from human as possible..."
"What do you mean?" Dib asked a bit puzzled.
"Most humans, their soul purpose in life is to make others feel bad!" She said, with a serious voice. Dib looked at her, she started again, "It's true. Especially with kids our age.... I'll kill myself before I act like them." She looked in Dib's eyes, "But not all are like that, there's you."
"Wow, that's pretty... insightful... But I'm not exactly the nicest person ever. I do pick on Zim." Bernadette looked at him. "But I have a reason! Zim is trying to take over Earth and--"
"Still, you are hurting him."
" Well yeah," he began to feel like a jerk.
Bernadette put her hand on his shoulder, "But no ones perfect," she smiled.
