I don’t know XD Hope you guys like it.. Oh and I didn't get anyone to beta this so you might find alot of grammer mistakes XD

“Disgusting.. Food.” Zim stuck his snake like tongue out staring at his tray full of mush. How do humans even manage to eat this.. Filth? Zim frowned then turned to look over at the table Dib sat at. Zim noticed he was sitting with the 3 guys from the other day, then glared.

“Disgusting humans, and their.. FRIENDS..” Zim spat. He crossed his arms and continued observing from a far distance, reminding himself of the horrible experience he had when he was in ‘Elementary Skool’.

Dib could be seen laughing when one of the males did gestures with his hands what seemed like a man walking and kicking a dog. The young alien turned back to stare at his trey then poked at the peas with his fork.

Zim decided to dump out the uneaten food and leave the cafeteria, so he stood up and carried his trey to the disposal near the exit before actually looking towards his destination.

Bump

The alien jumped back in surprise throwing his hands up which caused him toss the trey into what he had bumped into. He paused in confusion and narrowed his eyes to look up into the giant figure in front of him.

Instantly, he was pushed down to the ground. Zim grunted and looked up at the same time, then noticing the entire cafeteria was dead silent. He could feel the stares everyone was giving him.

“You fucking bastard, you got my clothes all dirty!” The tall male shrieked in disgust then grabbed Zim up by the collar. “These were fucking expensive you shit-hole.” He spat in Zim’s face.

Zim blinked then wiped the spit that was thrown into his face, then automatically pushed the other away. “Don’t touch me, human.” Zim hissed dangerously under his breath in defense.

The taller’s eyes widened and began to laugh as if the line was a simple joke.

“Oh wait, did I hear something?” chuckles formed his mouth to a smirk. “I think I heard, please beat me up, I’ll buy you new clothes.” Zim took a step back biting his bottom realizing he’s totally screwed. Not really, this isn’t anything hard to handle he notes himself.

“Dustin, shut up.” A harsh voice said coming from behind surprised Zim. The alien turned around noticing it was one of Dib’s companions, beside was Dib himself with a upset face.

“Dude, this retard just dumped his fucking food all over me!”

“No, I actually witnessed YOU walking into him purposely.” The male countered. “You always pick on the new guys eh?” he continues, moving his head side to side. He crosses his arms. Everyone seemed to be shooting death glares at the bigger male.

“I—“

“Get the fuck out of here.”

The bigger human pulled a frown on his face and stormed out of the cafeteria thus leaving the cafeteria not quiet and chatty once again. Zim was confused, how was this HUMAN so in control? Who IS he? He stared at the human noticing Dib’s face softening a little.

“So, having a little trouble on your first week here, Zim?” The guy speaks up brushing his blond hair from his face. “I haven’t properly introduced myself,” the human puts a hand Zim. “I’m Chris. The school’s Student counsel president.”

The young alien glared at the hand, then shook it. “Yeah, sure that’s fascinating.” He said quickly, in a uninterested tone. He looked over at Dib, who was watching them. /Why is Dib-stink so observant!/ He growled in his thought and pulled his hand away sharply.

“I’ve got classes to attend to,” Zim muttered quickly, turning away to leave. /I don’t want to see that face./

“W-Wait—“

Zim didn’t move an inch after hearing that voice.

“What class do you have next?” Dib. Zim frowned when he heard the voice, it pained him. Why, does it matter what class I have?

“Biology.”

“Really? Me too! What teacher do you have?” Excitement could be traced in the voice.

The alien didn’t know, all he knew was where the classroom was.

“Its none of your concern Dib.” He finished, and walked out of the cafeteria leaving Dib silent with his companions.

“Hmph.” Dib kicked at the ground. “I was just trying to be friendly with my ‘former friend’..” He pouted and crossed his arms.

Chris went to his side, sliding his arm around Dib’s neck. “Dude that’s okay, you have me.” He chuckles but gets pushed aside by the guy with the sunglasses. “Hey! What gives!” Chris protested, still laughing.

“He has us too, retard.” The guy countered.

“Yeah, yeah I know,” He brushes his hair again. “Because we’re best friends, aye?” Chris says gingerly, giving his friend a few winks.

“You really have to stop with that gay act.” The male straightens his glasses nervously.

They all burst out laughing. Chris held his mouth, laughing nonstop but got a glimpse of the time. “Shit, I gotta go do some lame SC stuff.” He turns and gives Dib a hug. “Cheer up ‘kay? This guys totally not worth your time.”

Dib smiled. “Thanks.”

“Oh and you two,” He pointed at the other companions and motioned his hand down. “I’d check your pants if I were you.” With that he ran away laughing hysterically causing them to look down. Dib turned over to look too.

Unzipped pants.

Zim sat quietly in the classroom reading over his school schedule. All the classes were on separate days, just as planned just so he could leave back to home base anytime.

The alien started to daze off after finishing reading over the sheet of paper.

/I wonder if the Dib-Stink is going to be in the same class as me./

He blinked a few times, then narrowed his eyes on the ceiling, realizing what he was thinking he rubbed his eyes a few times.

/Wait, who cares about that pig-smelly anyways./

Minutes later the school bell rung, and students were heard stomping everywhere in the hallways. Zim buried his face into his desk with his arms, not interested in who is going to be in his class and just listened to the chatter and footsteps entering the classroom.

/I love seeing the dark../

“Zim? Is that you”

/Go away./

“Hello?”

/Go. Away./

“Hey you awake?”

/Stupid human, I’m AM awake. Leave me alone!/

“HEY!”

/ARGH!!/

The alien lifted his head annoyed. Then his face went blank realizing who it was.
