"Today, class, we are learning about bendy straws," the teacher announced.
Zim raised his hand and jumped up in his seat. "Ooh, ooh!" he put his hand down. "Do aliens suck the brains of puny humans with these so-called bendy straws?"
"Um, no."
"Okay, then what are they used for?"
I rolled my eyes. "Zim, alien or not, you are a dork."
"Is that a good thing?" Dib and I started cracking up at Zim's stupidity.
I still laughed as I spoke to Dib. "Dib I love you."
"What…did you say?" he asked amazed.
"Um, nothing," I replied looking the other way. 'Crap! I thought he liked me!' I said to myself.
"No, seriously, what did you say? 'Cause if you said what I think you said, then, I love you too." I was shocked at Dib's reply. I zoned out…deep in my thoughts.
"Um…so, how are you?" I asked, both coming back to reality and changing the subject.
After Dib walked me home, I said my good-byes and kissed his cheek. "I love you!" I called back.
