Woohoo! Chapter 2!
Authors Note: This story is of an older Gaz and an old Zim. Makes it easier to write about them.
I don't own Invader Zim. If I did, it would still be on T.V.
Gaz flipped through the pages of her book without reading. Ever since she had kissed Zim nearly three weeks ago, she'd been thinking about the alien non stop. For some God forsaken reason, she had told her brother, who had promptly started gagging and ended up in the hospital for a mental breakdown… Again. Don't see what was so bad about it… I actually kinda liked it, the red-violet haired girl sighed inwardly. Finding no interest in her book, she slammed it shut and stood up to go put it back on the shelf. Growling to herself, she yanked at the bottom of her shorts. If it weren't for the fact it was so hot out, Gaz wouldn't have wore the confounded things. They were barely mid thigh and had a nasty habit of riding up, turning into shorts that "popular" girls wore. Muttering curses at them, Gaz walked back to the shelf where she had gotten the book.
She didn't realize it, but she was being followed. Zim peeked out from around the corner of the bookcase. It wasn't exactly stalking, he was trying to assure himself, for he had every intention of talking to her. But he couldn't but stare at the Earth girl. Her long, slender legs in those tight, short jeans of hers… Zim shook his head. Not now! He rolled his hands into fists; he had a mission to accomplish.
Gaz was so wrapped up in trying to find where she had found her book (she was a perfectionist, sadly), she didn't realize that Zim had come up to her until the alien slipped his arms around her waist and murmured, "You know, it's kind of rude to avoid people…" Gaz yelped in surprise, turning to look right into… Zim's smirking lips. How had he gotten so much taller in such a short amount of time? "Uh… Um, y-you've… Gotten taller," she stammered, not able to think clearly. This gained her a grin and a chuckle, causing Zim to show his sharp, clearly inhuman teeth.
"Is that really all you can say? No, 'Sorry, Zim, I haven't been trying to avoid you…'" His eyes narrowed. "That is, unless, you were intentionally avoiding me?" Gaz swallowed. "N-no! I haven't been trying to avoid you, Zim…" She was finally able to gather herself enough to think before she spoke. "You know; you are two grades ahead of me." Zim had to think for a second. It was true; he was in 9th grade, she was in 7th. Zim shrugged. "You coulda cut class; that's what I do." Gaz scowled. "Yes, and you are an alien from a much more advanced race… You have an advantage." She pulled herself out of Zim's arms and started to walk away. The alien swiftly got in front of her, blocking her exit. "So? You're as smart as me." Gaz guffawed. "Maybe that's why you can't take over the planet; 'cause preteen human girls are as smart as you!" The smile on Zim's face quickly dropped, and his eyes shadowed over. He turned to leave, deciding that maybe today wasn't the best time to get his next kiss. "… Maybe there are other reasons, too, Gaz…" He looked over his shoulder and murmured, "See you 'round, Gaz…" With that, he left a very puzzled Gaz to stand and wonder what he'd meant.
Oooh... What is this? Do I sense some romantic undertones to why Zim's still here? Chapter three will be up in the matter of no time!
