Hi Skool
After Nix's incident, he reluctantly went up stairs to his room. It was rather bland and had nothing but a plasma screen TV, a bed, a wooden dresser, and a table with a lamp and digital clock sitting neatly, beside his bed. The walls were painted a light shade of indigo and the floor was carpeted a dark blue color.
Nix pushed open the door and closed it behind him, so that no one would see him when he removed his goggles and his incredibly itchy wig. He shed off his poor disguise and flopped carelessly onto his bed.
He felt relieved without wearing his disguise and enjoyed when his antennas could air out instead of being stuffed under that hot itchy wig. He wasn't fond of wearing the goggles either and he knew he had rings around his eyes from them being on for hours.
Nix laid on this back and stared at the ceiling for a while, bored half to death. He looked at the clock after laying there for 30 minutes, staring at the ceiling. It was 10:53pm.
He groaned, from the pain of sheer boredom and flicked the TV on. As usual there wasn't anything on that was interesting, especially that Scary Monkey show. What was the point of it, the monkey just stood there and made a bunch of disturbing expressions and noises. The only thing that had at least one speck of entertainment was that Mysterious Mysteries and he hated that too. They didn't have anything good to watch, because they only had thirty channels.
Nix never seemed to get tired like the Ann human and her horrible son, Mike. He was wondering if it had something to do with his PAK. Ann had asked him about the metallic device and he had only shrugged the question away. Some time in the week Mike once tried yanking it off, but he'd escaped without Mike causing to much damage to his spinal cord.
He was watching a man being interviewed, claiming a spaceship crashed into his house. The man beckoned the camera crew to follow him and soon they arrived at his house. The camera panned over towards the object that was embedded into his home. People seemed awed with fake excitement of a new discovery
"Stupid humans that is a car, that's been decimated and modified to look like a spacecraft!" Nix literally jumped on top of his bed and almost screamed at the TV.
He then remembered that the humans were asleep, and didn't want to risk waking them up.
Nix then expressed his anger on the mysterious mysteries marathon by imagining himself yelling insults at the director for ever making such a fake show, until his alarm clock went off. Nix hadn't realized he had been so into the dreaded show, that today was his first day of school.
Nix hurried and put on his disguise and he ran towards the shower, before Mike could reach it first. He turned on the shower and carefully stepped back to avoid the acidic water, he stayed in the shower for an hour and listened to Mike screaming insults and threats outside the bathroom.
"GET YOUR STUPID DEFORMED ASS OUT OF THE DAMN SHOWER! I'M NOT KIDDING; I'LL BREAK DOWN THE FUCKING DOOR!" Mike screamed furiously, banging his fist hard against the door.
The door opened and hit Mike square in the face making him hit the ground from the force, and Nix walked out with a triumphed grin.
Mike picked himself up and glared at him, his teeth gritted back into an almost snare. Then he gathered up his things and walked into the bathroom, grumbling a few curses.
Nix smirked in amusement, as he walked towards the kitchen for breakfast.
He sat in one of the chairs and poured some cheerios into an empty bowl and started eating it dry. When he was half way done eating, Ann walked in wearing her work clothes and looked at him with curiosity.
"Don't you want milk in your cereal Nix? Ann asked, taking her lunch out of the fridge for work.
"No, I'm… uh lactose intolerant! He lied.
"Oh, well why didn't you say so? Never mind I have to go to work, and I'll see you after school. Don't forget the bus stop, ok," she smiled and walked out, stuffing her lunch into her bag.
Nix finished his cereal and pulled on his hoodie, grabbed his backpack and lunch he made for himself. He then walked out, not wanting to wait for Mike and his barrage of insults.
At the bus stop, he shuffled nervously with his antennae flat underneath his wig. His hands burning with sweat from beneath the gloves he wore. Mike walked up and stood five feet away from him, where the bus would appear.
It looked like Mike seemed to have forgotten about his little grudge, he had on him from the shower thing. Because he ignored Nix completely.
Nix had never seen a bus before in person, but he'd seen them in movies that Ann brought or rented. They were infernal contraptions that transported humans to places they wanted to go, and he shuddered at the thought of being surrounded by hundreds of humans in a closed up space.
Mike decided to lean against the bus sign and play his psp, just to distinguish his boredom.
After ten minutes of waited the bus screeched to a halt in front of them. It was the most broken down piece of crap, Nix had ever seen. The now brownish paint was flaking off revealing an ugly unevenly scratched surface, it made a dreadful sputter from its exhaust pipe and the tires looked like they hadn't been changed in years and became a chew toy to some neighbor's pet dog. The lights on the bus looked like the LED's had blown out and hadn't been replaced for sometime.
The bus's doors opened up with effort and made a long creaking sound until it couldn't go anymore, leaving the door half open.
Mike didn't even look once and he squeezed in not paying the world any attention, because he had his nose stuck into his gaming system.
Nix took a deep breath before entering, and almost immediately he was met with hundreds of stares. He coughed, and reluctantly walked down the lane with their stares still bearing into him. He could hear a few people whisper a few things about him.
"Check out the new kid," some kid whispered to another.
Look how short he is," a different kid said.
He has green skin, and he's missing some body parts," one said.
Kids that were sitting by themselves quickly placed their leg or books on the open spots available next to them, wanting to avoid having Nix sit next to them.
One kid nudged the other kid sitting next to him and winked, "watch this."
The kid stood up on his seat and shouted, "Where'd the mutant come from! I THOUGHT THIS SKOOL WAS FOR NORMAL PEOPLE!
Everyone on the bus was cracking up and laughed at Nix pointing.
Nix could feel himself burn up with rage. His face heated up and his claws dug through the fabric of his gloves. He gritted his teeth furiously and his gait became slow and heavy. There were no seats in the bus left, so he was suck sitting on the floor in the back of the bus, being hit by a wave of spitballs.
People called him names such as midget, freak, mutant, disease, and etc. He ignored every single thing and threat they threw at him and he wasn't surprised that Mike was one of the humans involved. He had to endure the whole bus trip like this, until it stopped in front of the school and let everyone out. He was the last to get out and was tripped by someone hiding behind the bus door, when he got out.
His face collided with the cement on the ground and he blacked out for three minutes before he got up and brushed the dirt off his jeans and hoodie. Nix groaned in pain and realized no one was around.
"SHIT, I'M LATE! He ran towards the building hoping that he didn't miss anything. It was all those stupid humans fault, why can't they just leave me alone. Nix reached to grab his backpack and found it was missing along with his lunch.
His antennae twitched, beneath the wig and he felt like he was going to melt away into nothingness. It was his first day and he was being tortured again.
He had his schedule in his bag and now he had no idea where to go since it was stolen. He growled in frustration and shoved his hands into his hoodie pockets and felt something make a soft crunch sound. He hadn't noticed he had something in his pockets. He pulled it out and to his relief it was his schedule.
Nix examined his schedule and walked towards the building. He had noticed that the school's name was spelt wrong, it was spelt Hi Skool. This school must be poorly funded for the name to be that screwed up and the buses being old and run down.
He entered the school building and headed towards his homeroom class, Mrs. Bitters. As he walked down the empty hallway filled with lockers, he noticed that the hallway was dark, dull and the walls were stained with chipping paint.
Nix arrived at the door that leads to Mrs. Bitter's classroom and gave a sigh. He was taught to knock first instead of barging into someplace, but Nix knew he was going to be the main target that humans will try to harass and torture. Yet he was surprised that they hadn't seen through his disguise yet.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the hard wooden door and waited a minute before the door slid open revealing a terrifying old crone glaring at him with disgust from his lateness or was it just because of him standing here.
"We have a new student, his name is Nix," She turned around and hissed literally. "Well just don't stand there. Come in here, say something and after that I don't want to hear another peep from you got it!
Nix walked into the class room and just took his seat without saying a word. Again he can hear the humans gossiping about him. He ignored the spit balls and paper airplanes, being tossed at him and wrote down everything the teacher said, which was only about terrible things and people being doomed for eternity.
But Nix became sure that someone was watching him. He looked around the class and he was met with two brown eyes staring at him. It was a human with an unusually large head that had the most ridiculous hair style ever, his hair was black that swept back like a scythe, he wore a type of optical lenses, and had a black trench coat with a neutral smiley face on his shirt.
The human's mouth was gaping at him, he pointed a shakily finger at him. The kid stood up and screams, "He's not human, Nix is an alien!"
Everyone stopped and stared at the kid. One of the kids stood up from his desk, "Dib you're an alien and you can go join him on planet freak too!"
A few kids snickered at that, and the one that insulted Dib hi fived another classmate triumphed.
Nix was frozen on the spot thinking he was finally going to be exposed and sent back to Iris to be killed. He bit his lip and his crimson eyes twitched nervously from beneath his goggles
Dib acted like he never was insulted and continued, "I'm not an alien, look at him he's short. He has no nose and ears, for the love of sake. He could be planning our very demise and moment now, like Zim!"
Nix had heard enough; he realized that no one found out yet, except that Dib human. He wasn't going to let this Dib ruin his life.
Nix stood up on top of his desk in order to seem taller than everyone else and imagined that Dib was Mike.
"I'M NOT AN ALIEN, YOU BIG HEADED MORON! He shrieked, his breathing increasing rapidly from his own frustration and from being hit by a few burning spitballs thrown at him, now that he was a easy target to hit.
"Hey, my head's not that big! Dib shouted at him.
"You're crazy Dib, go get life!" One of the kids in the back yelled.
Mrs. Bitters seemed to have gotten over her doom lecture and slithered from the shadows out of nowhere hissing, "Quiet, you useless brats or you'll all be sent to the underground classrooms.
Everyone became quiet as soon as she mentioned the underground classrooms, until the bell rang.
Nix got up and gathered his useless notes, based on people's doomed lives. He headed over to the door, but was blocked by Dib before he could leave.
Dib glared at Nix, his brown eyes narrowed in false pride, "You're up to something and I'm going to find out what it is, just you wait Nix! You hear me just you wait! With that Dib ran out the class, leaving a stunned and very confused Nix behind.
"What the hell is that crazy human talking about," Nix muttered.
After forth period it was lunchtime. Nix was waiting in the lunch line, but people found it amusing to cut in front of him so he was the last one to get his lunch.
When Nix finally received his tray he looked at the slop in disgust, he could have sworn that the food had moved. He walked around the lunch room trying to find a place to sit but the only table available that wasn't surrounded by overly happy humans, was the one occupied by the Dib human and a gothic looking girl whose face was stuck in a psp, like Mike. He sighed and walked cautiously over towards the table and sat down without a word.
Dib stared at him; his eyes glued onto the alien now poking and prodding his food.
Dib broke the silence, "Ah-ha I knew it, you're an alien and I'll go and expose you for the hideous monster you are. Just what are you planning, huh?"
Nix stopped and placed down his spork, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb alien, you're out to conquer the planet and enslave it and I'm going to stop you!" Dib pointed an accusing finger at him.
"Ok, you got me I'm an alien, but I don't know about any of those other things you're talking about," Nix replied, picking up the spork again and stabbing at the food that made a hissing noise.
Dib growled in disappointment, but he wasn't going to give up that easily. The alien could be lying for all he knew. He would be following Nix after school to find out more and to know where Nix actually lived.
After lunch, the day went on with Nix being shoved into his locker, tripped down the stairs, and tossed in a dumpster.
Nix wasn't called by his name; it was mostly freak, mutant or midget. And the new name additional name was alien. The gym teacher mistook Nix for the school mascot but was informed later in the day that Nix wasn't the school mascot. The teacher was overwhelmed by shocked and fainted, and then was taken to the nurse's office.
Soon the bell rang and they were all dismissed. Nix shot through the door, wanting to place enough distance between himself and that dreaded school as possible.
Nix hopped on the bus and sat on his original spot, the floor. He didn't feel like being bothered about, taking someone's seat.
It took ten minutes to reach his house and he darted into the house relieved. Ann wasn't home but he just knew that he wouldn't be able to survive another school day. Especially with that insane human known as Dib.
Outside of the house Dib smiled from his electric scooter, so that's where he lives.
Ok this chapter was a piece of crap, but please review anyway!
