As Zim tried to read the text, he couldn't help but worry about his ALL MIGHTY leaders. 

THE TALLESTS!

He looked up and glanced around the room. 

Everyone else looked to be having a hard time reading the textbook as well. Some were even dozing off, with maybe a small handful actually face-down on their desks, having actually fallen asleep. 

The textbook was about failure and death and how life was a waste of time. 

Zim glanced over at the other side of the room and narrowed his eyes to a hateful glare. 

Dim Membrane. 

His name was actually Dib, but Zim absolutely HATED the kid. 

Zim silently growled when he remembered how ANNOYING and STUPID Dib was.

He kept foiling his plans to take over Earth! 

Because of Dib, he was failing his mission and letting down his almighty leaders. 

Zim looked back down at the text. 

He was getting a headache just trying to read and comprehend what it was saying. 

"Uh....Miss. Bitters? What’s the point in reading this? Shouldn't we be reading something that will fill our pathetic human Earth brains with proper knowledge?" Asked Zim, raising his hand, waving it slightly to catch the teacher's attention. 

Miss. Bitters snapped her neck up and growled, glaring into the Irken's soul. 

Zim cringed and jumped in fright when she appeared in a flash of lightning beside his desk, hissing like a snake. 

"Zim! What have I told you about disrupting the class?" Asked Miss. Bitters angrily. 

Zim gulped, a little freaked out.

"Not to do it?" He asked, sweating nervously. 

"Yeesssssssssssssssss" She said, slowly sliding across the floor backwards to her desk. 

"SO DON'T DO IT!!!" She screeched, slamming her hands down on her desk, startling the whole class awake. 

Zim just cringed and turned his eyes back down at the text, trying to read it. 

The bell rang, signaling that it was time for lunch. 

Zim jumped over his desk and ran out of the room before anyone else could get up. 

"ZIM!!!" Screamed Dib. 

Dang it! 

Dib was chasing him now. Maybe he shouldn't have dashed out of class like that. It did look kind of suspicious. 

Zim thought quickly and turned into another hallway, swiftly slipping into the janitor's closet before the annoying human could turn the corner.

He heard footsteps running by, assuming it was Dib.

He chuckled darkly, making sure not to be too loud. 

He exited the small room and snickered, walking down the hallway, making his way to the cafeteria for lunch. He held his hands behind his back as he chuckled at how dumb Dib could be.

He may be the son of a famous scientist, but he's WAY too obsessed with Cryptids and the Paranormal. 

He burst into the cafeteria dramatically, the doors slamming open. 

This caused everyone to look up at him weirdly as he walked past, on his way to get some of that....disgusting....

....earth food they call nutritious.
