If Only It Were True

Chapter 9
The next day, Dib waited for Bernadette in the skool yard, he saw her approaching the skool, she had a frown on her face. "What's the matter?" Dib asked as she walked up to him.
"Rose. Rose Hunters!" she said, violently grabbing a book from her backpack.
"Who?"
Bernadette opened the book. There upon the pages was a picture of Bernadette's 5th grade class. Bernadette pointed to a girl with short brown hair, "That's Rose Hunters."
"What about her?"
"What about her? What about her?! She's coming to this skool!"
"You don't like her?"
"Of course! Why would I be making such a big deal out of this! She made my life miserable! Why, she's worse than that Jessica! And then she has the nerve to call me yesterday! Like we were old friends, she spoke to me as if she were my friend!" Bernadette slammed the book close. She shoved it back in her backpack, "Friends."
"How did she get your phone number?"
"She and her mother ran into my mother yesterday at the super market... She sucked my mom into believing she was a sweet little girl... Sweet... hardly! My mother gave her our phone number."
"So she called you and told you she was going to this skool?"
"Yes. Oh and--"
"Bernadette!" came a voice from behind. Rose. Rose walked up to Dib and Bernadette, her short brown hair barely touching her peach colored shoulders. She wore a shirt, baby blue, and revealing her belly button. Her smile made Bernadette uncomfortable and she took a step back towards Dib.
Bernadette gulped, "H-hi Rose." Her voice was uneasy and Rose noticed it.
"Why what's the matter?" she said tilting her head a little.
Bernadette looked down at her feet, "Oh nothing..." she looked up at Rose to see her not very happy, not satisfied by the reply, Bernadette thought up a lie, "It's just I can't get over what a beautiful outfit you have on..."
Rose smiled, "It is pretty, isn't it? Cost me a bundle!"
Dib rolled his eyes. " I can see she was with the popular crowd at your skool," he whispered to Bernadette.
"What was that?" Rose asked.
"Nothing." Bernadette said quickly. She gave a weak smile, trying to reassure the girl.
"Well aren't you going to introduce me to that big headed boy behind you?" Rose asked.
"Oh, yes of course! Rose this is Dib. Dib, Rose."
"Hello." Rose said.
Dib tried to smile... he failed, "Hi."
The skool bell rang, and they were off to class.
"Class, this is Rose. Rose Hunters. Yet another child in this overcrowded classroom, " Ms. Bitters said, "Rose, you may take your seat next to the green child, Zim. You can't miss 'im. If you don't like it, you can sit on the floor."
Rose took her seat. Zim stared at her in awe. "Well what are you looking at?" she said flicking a strand of hair out of her face. Zim quickly looked away.
Bernadette turned to Dib, "Did you see that?"
"Yea."
"You think he likes her?"
"Well--"
"Bernadette! Dib! Were you talking just now?" Ms. Bitters said harshly.
"Yes." Dib said.
"Sorry,"Bernadette added.
Ms. Bitters pointed to the door, "Room 666, detention."
