*A few days later*

"Lali I am gonna go to my first day of school! Guard the base! So, um, see ya!" I yelled as I walked out into a beautiful morning.

I had learned that I was about the height of an average teenager on Earth. I could go to a high school and gather information on the humans and their planet.

I did some research and found out that I had landed in what the humans call Albuquerque New Mexico. It was one of the 54 states of America. It had erratic weather changes but luckily today was a nice day.

I started to walk down the street drawing in what the humans call a 'sketch book' but I liked having all of my drawings in one book. It seemed so organized and sufficient. I was drawing a picture of my street. It was called Angel Lana NE. It was a good neighborhood with lots of other teens in it.

I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran into somebody and fell on the ground dropping my sketch book.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you Ok?" the person asked. I looked up and saw a boy with a black jacket on and a navy blue shirt with a face on it under the jacket. He had scythe-like hair, glasses and golden brown eyes. I had to say, he didn't look to bad.

"Yeah I'm fine," I replied quietly. The boy went over to retrieve my sketch book. He came back and held out a hand to me. I took it. I could feel my face warming up. I don't know why I felt like this! I can't have these feelings! Especially not about human!

"My name is Dib! What is yours?" he asked.

"Lea, thank you for getting my sketch book for me," I replied.

"What skool are you going to Lea?" he asked.

"Silverado," I replied.

"Well you are going in the complete wrong direction! Can I walk you to skool?" he asked thoughtfully.

"Ok," I replied shyly.

We began walking. Dib was talking about the paranormal and this kid at skool who he said was an alien. He was talking about how nobody believed him, about how his dad was never home, how his sister hated him and how his mom had left when he was gone. He started getting sort of emotional and I swore he was gonna start to cry.

"Well Lea, tell me about your life. Mine is kinda boring. I would love to hear yours! Seeing as how pretty you are," I stopped in my tracks and looked at him directly in the eye blushing like a maniac.

"You really think I am pretty?" I asked shakily.

"Yeah," he began to blush to. That's when I looked down and noticed we had been holding hands the entire way, he looked down too. I took my hand from his rudely and started to walk the rest of the way quickly.

This cant be happening! I am falling for a human! I am an irken invader! I cant fall for ANYBODY! Especially not with my condition, if I fall for anyone, the might die… I would never be able to live with myself! I can not fall for him! I don't want him to die because of me…
