If Only It Were True
By: Kari T.
Chapter 10
Bernadette and Dib entered room 666, there it was crowded with trouble makers, bullies, the kind of kids that were always called to the principle for doing bad things, and Bernadette and Dib did not belong there. They took their seats, the teacher that was supposed to be watching them, sat in his desk, sleeping.
Dib looked at Bernadette who seemed to be studying the other children, "Why, I'm the only girl here," she whispered.
Dib looked around then back at Bernadette, "And I never expected someone like you to ever be here."
"Someone like me? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't take it the wrong way, but you're too... nice."
Bernadette frowned, "I could be mean, if I wanted to."
Dib couldn't resist cracking a smile, and silently laugh.
"It's not funny! I really could!"
Dib started to laugh a little harder, but still in a whispered way. Bernadette grew red with anger and frustration, she leaned towards Dib, and yanked his hair, "Hey!" Dib said. Bernadette began to giggle. Dib reached over, and tugged on a strand of Bernadette's blue hair, "Ow!" They continued doing this for a while laughing, and not caring that some of the other kids looked at them oddly. It was funny the way they got along... even hurting each other was fun times.
"Hey, I know what we could do!" Bernadette said, a smile on her face.
"What?" Dib asked.
"Let's play "Question"!"
"What's that?"
"I'll ask a question and you answer. Then you ask one, and I'll answer. OK? I'll start... How does your hair stick up?" Bernadette giggled, "I'm curious."
Dib smiled, "Lot's of gel."
Bernadette giggled, "OK, now you."
"OK... When's your birthday?"
"February 5th. Now, what's your favorite ice cream flavor?"
"Cookies and Cream. Hmm... is your hair naturally blue?"
"Yes. What's your most favorite thing in the world?"
Dib smiled. He knew just what to say, "You."
Bernadette blushed. The bell then rang, and the teacher shot up, awake, "All right, I think you all have learned your lesson, go on to lunch!"
Dib and Bernadette giggled as they walked out of the class. "Well, I see detention wasn't as bad as it had seemed," Rose said, meeting them in the hall way.
"Yeah, I guess it was OK," Bernadette said.
"Well I'll see you guys later!" Rose said waving as she hurried away.
"Where is she going?" Bernadette asked turning to Dib.
"I don't-- Oh..."
"What?"
"Look who she's with."
Bernadette turned around. She saw Rose and Zim walking down the hall together. "Zim?"
"I guess something happened while we were at detention..." Dib said, glad that his enemy no longer had a crush on his girlfriend. He turned to Bernadette, "I guess the bumpy road has finally been flattened and smoothed."
"Yea..." Bernadette said, her eyes still on Rose and Zim, "I guess."
