My Cousin, Frankenstein
By: Kari Marie Trujillo
Chapter 2
The next day, we prepared for skool. Victoria flew down the stairs, and soon her brother and sister followed. They all were then off to skool.
As we walked to skool, it was very difficult to keep up with Victoria. For a girl who stayed locked up in her room all day, she walked very quickly, in small, fast steps. She kept turning round, and walking backwards, then forwards, then backwards again. Every time she faced us she gave us looks as if saying, "God damn, you're slow."
The skool bell rang, and me and Victoria walked into class. I took my seat, and she stood at Ms. Bitter's desk.
"Class," my teacher began, "This is Victoria Frankenstein. Victoria, say something now, then shut up and sit down."
"Hi," said my cousin. She looked around the classroom, "Well, I know you all won't like me... and probably will just ignore me so... Boo on you, and you all can rott in hell... so... yeah, bye." she took her seat, smiling.
"What a nice, out going girl," Ms. Bitters complimented.
Then it was recess. Victoria followed me to the lunch tables. On the way, we ran into Zim...
"Jeez, what's up with you?!" Victoria exclaimed. "You're all green! And you're nose! Where the hell did you loose it?!"
This made me laugh. Zim grew angry, and looked like he was going to rip my cousin's head off. He then turned to me, "You better tell your cousin to watch out, or she shall face my doom!"
"Hello? You blind? I'm standing right here!" said Victoria.
Zim ignored this and walked away. I laughed some more, "He's an alien you know."
"Yeah, right."
"He is."
"You're crazy."
"I'm crazy? Have you looked in a mirror?" I said.
"Yes, and I see no maniac... I see a genius."
"Uh, huh.... riiiiiight," I said sarcastically. We then took a seat at the lunch tables. "You know Victoria, when you're not talking about create a being and calling yourself God.... you're pretty nice."
"Well I have to be nice to you. You are my cousin, duh," she paused, "Hey, you wanna help me out with something?"
I hesitated, "What?"
"Help me with an... uh... experiment, you might say."
"That depends... what kind of experiment?"
"Come on Dib, I can tell you got some talent in the science field. You see, I need an assistant to help me with this project?"
"Yes, but what sort of project?"
"There is going to be a funeral tonight at Adamn's Cemetery... meet me there, and you shall see."
Her insanity somehow spread to me and I found myself saying, "OK."
