and on with the story...
"So where did you use to live," asked Samantha who sat next to me. We were working together on the worksheet we got for vocabulary review.
"I did live here, then I moved to New Jersey because my dad had gotten a real good job offer." Her eyes widened.
"I was wondering what that accent of yours was."
"Yeah, you kind of just pick it up after a while. And the style." Yes, I am a tanorexic. I love being tan. I always carry a bottle of spray tan in my bookbag. It's the best damn thing ever invented.
"You're lucky that you've been somewhere else. I've lived here all my life and have been going to this annoying school. It sucks." She pouted. Aww she looked like a little kid. Which reminds me that I only have one bottle of spray tan left.
"At least we're seniors and this is our last year." She laughed.
"True. What did you get for number six?"
"It's modern."
"Thought so." She wrote down her answer and leaned in close to me. "So, what's up with you and Zim?" I looked at her like she was nuts.
"What do you mean?"
"He keeps looking back here," she whispered. I looked up front and made eye contact with Zim. He smiled, in an evil way, and waved. I scrunched my nose at him and turned back to Samantha.
"Must like something he sees," I said chuckling. She laughed and snorted.
"did you just snort?" She nodded embarrassed.
"I hope you little worms are almost done. I'm collecting in 10 minutes."
"Well I'm already done. You can see my paper."
"you're already done," Samantha asked.
"Yeah. I'm the vocab. champ," I said pointing to myself and smiling. She just rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Hey Dib," I said poking him.
"What?"
"Can you take me to the tanning salon after school." Dib raised his eyebrow.
"You go tanning. Doesn't that damage your skin?"
"Dib, I don't go in a tanning bed. It's a spray tan. You know, get a bottle, shake it up, and spray. That's how I do it."
"And all this time I thought it was natural."
"I wish. It's hard looking this good Dib. Of course you wouldn't know anything about that."
"Hey, I'm not bad looking."
"Oh yeah, by who's standards?" He didn't say anything, which was just sad. I really don't think Dib is ugly looking. I just love to mess with him.
"Oh, Dib. Come on. I was just kidding. Take a joke, will ya." He rolled his eyes.
"Now is not the time for jokes when there are far more important...things to worry about," he said stealing a glance at Zim.
"Dib, really. He sucks at his job. How long does it take for an "alien invader" to take over the earth," I said loud enough for Zim to hear. He clenched his fits. I didn't pay him no attention. I'm just trying to speak my mind, but I did feel a little sad for the guy. Alien..whatever.
"No offense Zim," I said.
"He's just holding out on us, Bianca. Then one day, BANG," he said clapping his hands in my face and making me jump a little.
"Dib, I love you, but you really need to let this go." He shook his head.
"Never. Not until I, Dib Membrane, get rid of him." I rolled my eyes.
"Dib..."
"NO! Bianca, you only get to be a teenager once, and wouldn't you like to be known as one of the teenagers in the teenage population that disposed this alien and saving the human race?"
"Uh, wrong, I'm 17 and have been a teenager since like 13, so I've been a teen more than once and as much fun as that sounds. I have to decline." He rolled his eyes and smacked his head.
"You know what I mean by the teenage thing, and Bianca. I can't do this alone. I need your help." I gave a short laugh.
"Yeah, you do need help. Mental help." He slumped in his chair and I sighed. I got up out of my seat and walked in front of Dib's desk.
"Why don't you let this go." He opened his mouth to protest. "Shhh, I'm not done. Just try to give up this alien thing up for about a week just to see how things go. Who knows, you might find yourself a girlfriend," I said. He thought about what I said for only about five seconds, before he yelled and jumped to his feet.
"NOOOOO. This is something I have to do. I will get you Zim! Whatever it takes." I slapped my forehead. Zim gave a chuckle.
"whatever you say, Dib."
"Dib, sit down and stop yelling in my classroom," yelled Ms. Kate.
"Yes ma'am." Dib sat down and started to write in his notebook.
"Dib," I said slapping him in the back of the head.
As soon as the bell rang for lunch everyone ran out the door, except for Zim. Daaaang! Dib left me again. I still don't know where this cafeteria is. I grabbed Zim by his arm and dragged him out the room.
"You're gonna show me to the cafeteria." He snatched his hand away.
"Why."
"You owe me. I gave you the best answer in the world about reproduction. And you made it harder than it seemed." He put his finger to his chin, thinking. Then he got a smug look on his face. That can't be good.
"Okay."
"Just okay. No catch. Nothing."
"Well there is one thing Zim still requires."
"And what is that, shall I ask?"
"You have yet to give me an answer about helping me learn about human anatomy," he said having a hard time saying helping.
"Your saying that if I help you, again, then you'll show me to the cafeteria?" He nodded.
"Okay, then,"I said shrugging.
"Good, now follow me." He led me down the stairs and turned left. We walked about two minutes and made another left. The doors were straight ahead with the word lunchroom above it.
"Now that I have showed you this disgusting area of the school, you will teach me everything that I need to know starting today."
"zim. I can't. We have parent/teacher meetings."
"Right. I do need time working on my parents." I gave him a weird look.
"What?"
"Nothing," he said walking through the doors. I followed him to the lines. He went on the left handed side and I went to the right. There was pizza, burgers, fries, fruit,and other stuff. It didn't look too bad. I picked up a burger and some fries.
"Oh look. they have juice," I said to no one in particular. I grabbed two bottles of orange juice and paid for my lunch, which was only five dollars. Good deal. I scanned the room for Dib or Gaz, but couldn't find them. It was so crowed in here. But I did spot Zim."Aww what the hell," I said walking toward him. I sat next to him. He didn't move a muscle or even blink.
"You know, just because I require your help doesn't men you can sit by me."
"Chill out Zim," I said stuffing my face with fries. "I can't find Gaz or Dib and you're the only other...person I talk to." He gave a gruff sigh and started to eat his pizza. I blinked feeling a little puzzled.
"I would of thought that that aliens would die or something if they ate human food." He turned to face me and gave an annoyed look.
"Since I had landed on this planet, I have grown accustomed to your disgusting earthly foods." I gave a chuckle.
"Wow, Zim. You think you're special don't ya?" He shook his head.
"Yes, I AM THE ALMIGHTY ZIM!" I raised my brow.
"Okay, you don't have to shout you know. No one even listens to you."
"Zim is aware of this. I know that no one here likes me. Not even my Tallest likes me." I stared at him for a moment. He looked like he was searching my eyes for something. I turned to my food and ate the rest of it. Poor kid. Not even a single friend. I turned back to him. He was chewing on his last bit of pizza.
"I'll tell you what zim. Since you don't have any body to lean on. You can lean on me." He gave a huff.
"I don't need anyone. Especially not anyone that's human." I sighed.
"Well, I'll keep the offer out there if you ever need it." The bell rang and everyone started to leave the lunchroom. "See ya in class." I left him at the table, alone.
gosh, i'm sorry i haven't updated in a while. it's been like a week or longer. I can't think right now. well i just hoped you liked it.
I eat reviews for dinner, so don't let me starve (yeah i know, corny)
