Chapter 15 {UNDER REFERB}

"I figured since you were into the paranormal as much as I am you might be interested in this." He then pulled a card out of his pocket and slid it over across the table to you, and as you picked it up you noticed a number and a logo that closely resembled an eyeball. "Dib-...Is this a cult?" You asked smirking. "What?! No." He said defensively. "It's sounds like it." It was a bit easy to push his buttons at times, but you didn't blame him. There was a lot to be frustrated about. "Look do you want in or not?" You smiled and laughed. "I'm just kidding, but I'll think about it." You put the card in your backpack to examine it later and think about your options.

  "You ready to head home?" You asked as you packed the rest of your stuff. "Yeah I'm ready." After that, the two of you headed back home leaving you alone with the peace of the night.

The very next morning you walked in things seemed a little off. Ms Bitters was in the back of the classroom with a mysterious box counting down. "Do you have any idea what that might be?" Gretchen asked nervously. "I haven't got a clue." You said mirroring her concern. Eventually, as everyone sat down the box started to count further and further down. The beeping was suspicious enough but the timer really took the cake for the growing fear inside the children. Almost an instant afterwards, Ms. Bitters pressed the red button to reveal a very small hamster in a cage. The pounding in your chest didn't stop since it was built up suspense but at least you could breathe.

"By order of the Skool board, in an attempt to reduce Misery amongst skoolchildren, this class is issued one class pet, hamster class... named Peepi." Said Ms Bitters as her cold demeanor didn't change despite the fact she was presenting a hamster. You looked at the hamsters fuzzy little cheeks and beady eyes and smiled warmly. It was almost as if he was staring back at you with the same smile until a kid pushed you away leaving you on the cold floor. "Ohh Peepi so cute!", "Look at his widdle Peepi face!", "He's like a fuzzy little pee-pee person!"

   You sighed and stood back and observed from afar making sure you weren't trampled. Zim however wasn't having it as he shrieked with terror as Peepi approached him in his terrarium. "Do I even have to say anything at this point?" Dib said with irritation in his voice. "It's okay Zim, there are a lot of other kids who have obscure fears. I have a lot myself." You said trying to reassure him. Not that he seemed like he needed it you were just trying to be nice. "If you are referring to my reaction to that hair.... monster, I can assure you that like the other normal children I find it... eh..."

"Cute. The word is cute. Humans think hamsters are cute."

"Yesss... This cuteness has a curious effect on human beings. Makes them.. weak." Zim went silent for a moment until he was brought back into reality. "Hmm. Yes it just might work." Dib was obviously confused as to what he meant, but you ignored him as you were just very tired of his antics.

  Throughout the day you realized how much more tired you've started becoming. But, thankfully, you had a enough energy to get you to the end of the day and back home. "Hey sweet pea how was school?" Your dad said greeting you as he sat upon the couch with a can of Old Milwaukee in his hand. "It was okay! On the bright side we got a pet hamster! He's pretty healthy looking so that's good." You mentioned hanging your coat on the hanger. "I remember we got a hamster too! But uhh, glad it was healthy. Ours died of a kidney disease the day after." Your dad mentioned a bit grimly. "Oh." Is all you said before retiring to your room to do whatever it is a Y/N does.

  The next morning class was quite the spectacle. Ms. Bitters had a child upside down on a chair, with a stop watch in her hand watching intently to see what would happen.
"A minute-twenty-seven. If you're determined to let the blood rush to your head you better have trained for it." She barked with hardly a look of pity on her face.
