Monday 9 AM
Your POV
For the last hour, I could see Zim out of the corner of my eye, he was watching my every move. Every time I would look in his general direction he would give me a questioning look and I would immediately look away.
"Doom, doom, dOoM, DOOm, DOOM!" Mrs. Bitters went on recalling her lesson, looking around the rest of the classroom, some students were asleep, looked dead, or simply didn't care.
"Mmmf-stupid, stupid!!"
"DIB! QUIET!!" Mrs. Bitters glared in his direction. "If you don't shut your trap I will have you sent to the SHAME CLOSET!!" Everyone looked in the far back corner of the classroom where a ginger-haired boy was cramped at the bottom shelf of a closet.
"HhhHIIiii!!!" The boy enthusiastically screeched.
"Shut up Keef"
"Okay!" Zim snickered slightly laughing at the boy's dismay. Mrs. Bitters then sat back down twiddling with her fingers as she continued to drone on about how everyone and everything was doomed.
Slowly I brought my hand down toward my backpack that sat next to my feet grabbing my sketchbook, I saw Zim look at my sketchbook with curiosity. I flipped through several pages before coming upon an empty one and started to draw.
Time Skip Monday 11 AM
A loud ring interrupted my focus on my drawing, I packed up my stuff to leave the classroom when I heard my name being called.
"Y/N!" I looked over to see Dib, he grabbed my hand and dragged me along with the other students who were now merging into the cafeteria.
"Wait here! I'm going to go grab some lunch, want any?" He asked I looked over to where they served the food, a big lunch lady sat in a zombie-like state blindly giving the children big scoops of brown goop.
"Uh, no way, I packed my lunch anyway." I gestured over my shoulder where my backpack was. Dib nodded, he walked over to the end of the lunch line leaving me alone.
I looked around the cafeteria, noticing almost every table had their own set of kids, with their cliques and groups. The cafeteria walls had many stains on them, come to think of it this whole school building was filthy in itself.
"HYUMAN! ZIM DEMANDS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU!" I whipped around to come face to face with Zim himself, now that I was closer to him I noticed I was two inches taller than him which made me giggle to myself slightly.
"Why?" I asked crossing my arms.
"THE SMELLY DIB-BEAST MUST HAVE TOLD YOU LIES ABOUT ME BEING AN ALIEN!!"I cringed at his high volume,
"Can you please be quieter?! You are making my ears hurt!" I looked at his face, he was shocked for a moment and then gave me a slight glare.
"ZIM DOES NOT HAVE TO STOOP TO A HYUMANS LEVEL, ZIM IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ANYONE ON EARTH!" He kept ranting about how great and powerful he was, flailing his arms around in a frantic manner to emphasize his point. The way he talked was certainly interesting, I had to admit, it was a bit of a turn on. I started to laugh at how adorable he was being, immediately Zim stopped ranting and looked at me with a confusing gaze.
"Why are you laughing Hyuman!!" Zim gave a slight pout, to which was even cuter! I caught my breath to stop laughing,
"S-Sorry Zim, the way you talk, I find it pretty cool, and unique!" I told him, a smile spread across my face. There was now a noticeable blue hue that went across his face, it looked a lot like blushing.
"Une-eek?" Zim questioned, tilting his head to the side like a puppy, I mentally 'awwed' and explained to him what the word meant.
"Ha! VICTORY FOR ZIM! YES HYUMAN PRAISE ME!" He yelled excitedly.
"You know my name is not just hyuman right?" I asked him
"Well then! Go on! Tell Zim your name then!" Zim encouraged.
"My name is Y/N and if I'm not mistaken, your name is Zim right?" I wanted to make sure, but it was pretty obvious.
"Yes! Correct My name is Zim! Good job Hyuman-Y/N!"
"Good enough."
A gasp was heard behind me, I turned around to notice Dib standing there shocked.
"Y/N! What are you doing with the Alien?!" Dib spat out the word like it was a disease, Zim unexpectedly gripped my arm, causing me to flinch.
"Hyuman-Y/N has decided to eat lunch with Zim! Right Hyuman-Y/N?" Zim gave me a slight glare, tightening his grip on my arm slightly.
"Yes! Plus, It's nice to make new friends on the first day anyway." Zim quickly dragged me away from Dib sitting me down next to him at an empty table, near the far corner of the cafeteria.
"Why did you want to talk to me again? And can you please let go of my arm?" I asked him, he quickly retreated his arm, looking away blushing blue again.
"Zim could not help but notice you seem less dead than the other hyumans, you are more aware of your surroundings, and smarter too."
Now he was complimenting me? I never expected that.
"W-what happened?! You are going red! Is this normal?!" Zim started to panic slightly at your flustered state. Slowly you came back to your senses when your stomach started to grumble, completely forgetting you needed to eat.
"Yes Zim, It's normal, hey. do you eat any food at all?" I questioned, bringing out my lunchbox from my backpack, he looked at it and shrugged.
"Sometimes, but the food here makes Zim sick Very sick." He shivered slightly probably remembering a bad time eating the horrible food. Zim looked at my lunchbox, he saw the few cookies I had in a Ziploc bag, grabbing for them he quickly opened the bag and took one out eating it.
"Hey! Those were mine!" Immediately Zim's face lit up, his face slightly relaxed eating the rest of the cookies he looked slightly upset.
"Hyuman-Y/N!! These cookies are great! Zim would like to have more!" He pouted, which made me melt even more.
"Sorry Zim you ate the last of them, I could make more but I would have to give them to you tomorrow."
"Zim is okay with this, as long as hyuman-Y/N sits with Zim again tomorrow too!" I agreed, giving him a small smile.
Zim smirked slightly in response.
A few tables away Dib could not contain his anger, his friend was with his enemy, he had to put a stop to this. He quickly grabbed a few water balloons he always keeps in his backpack, he walked up to the edge of the table ready to throw at any second.
