Hey all my lovely readers, just here to say don't be afraid to comment. I would love to see your reactions and feedback on my story!
Carry on :)

As you began you trod to skool, a certain large-headed paranormal nerd decided to join you. You nodded, acknowledging his presence. Dib looked like he wanted to say something, but he was searching for the right words to say. Without a doubt, you knew it was something about Dib. As discrete as he wanted to be about his investigations and you and Him, you weren't oblivious to all of his efforts. You knew he was trying to ensure that you weren't brainwashed by Zim into using your powers to take over the Earth.

You decided to break the silence and Dib's internal conflict. "What do you know about the Tallest?"

"The Tallest?" Dib whipped his head to glance at you. "As in Zim's idiotic, evil leaders?"

You nodded. "Yeah, have you ever gotten any weird vibes from them? Not like them loving snacks or wanting to take over the whole galaxy vibes, but like them not liking Zim vibes."

He adjusted his glasses and took a moment to ponder over your question. "Now that you mention it, yeah. I heard them before talking about Zim being banished from their home planet. Of course, I didn't get to hear the whole conversation because he found out I had broken into his base."

"Don't tell Zim, but I heard them talking about Earth being a fake mission for him. Apparently, he's not a real invader. I want to ask him about it, but it seems like he doesn't even know that he's not apart of the Irken invader scheme." You sigh.

Dib shrugged. "Maybe he sees Earth as an opportunity to gain his leaders' trust again." He kicked a rock up against the wooden fence next to him. "Either way, he's not doing a good job of it."

You fiddled with the shoulder straps of your backpack. "I don't know. Maybe it's just because you are always there to stop him from successfully ruling the planet. Everyone else is oblivious to what he's doing."

"Pfft, I don't understand how they don't see through his disguise. He's green for crying out loud!" He waved his hands frantically through the air.

"Hey!" You frowned. "One of my closest friends is green. Her name is Juniper."

"What?"

You rolled your eyes. "I'm a demigod remember? Dryads are often green. She's a wood nymph of a juniper plant." You explained. "Honestly, your school system teaches nothing!"

Dib opened the rusted doors to the school for you to walk through. He then followed suit. "Hey, do you think Ms. Bitters is a monster? I mean, I really feel like it would make sense."

Before you could respond, Zim interrupted your conversation by pulling you away from Dib. He held your hand protectively and waved the raven haired boy off. Dib simply rolled his eyes, waved goodbye to you, and continued walking without you. You smiled goofily at Zim's actions.

"New emotion of the day," you spoke up, catching the green alien's attention. "jealousy."

He scoffed. "Zim knows not of this 'jealousy' term you speak of. He simply doesn't want his love pig to be communicating with the Dib. His stupidity may rub off on you." You noticed that Zim really likes his nonverbal and speaking with his hands.

You pulled him behind you as you walked through the dimly lit hallways. "Yep, that's almost the exact definition of being jealous of someone, Zim."

"The human-worm baby lies! You LIE." He screeches.

You stop in the middle of the hall, cross your arms, and face your unofficial boyfriend. "What did I say about calling me names like that?"

He blinked and nervously grinned at you. "Zim is.. eh... sorry. Won't happen again, y/n-human."

You gave him one last glance before walking into Ms. Bitters' classroom. Zim took his seat next to the door. You walked a few rows back and slid into your seat. The professor of doom began her prolonged lecture over the dangers that come with being too nice. A phone call interrupted her speech. She growled and picked it up. 

Slamming the phone down, she relayed the message. "Since the Health program has been canceled, I am required to assign you all a project." She opened her desk drawer and pulled out a pack of eggs. "You must take care of these as if they were sorry excuses to be babies, much like all of you. Break them, and you will be sent to the underground classroom for being a failure.

"Normally, the assignment would be done in groups of two. But I ate half of the eggs this morning for breakfast, so you'll be in groups of three. Any questions?"

Keef raised his hand. "Um, why was health class canceled?"

"Because the teachers decided having a steak bar in the lounge was more important!" She hissed at the weird boy. "Now groups of three. Make it quick! I have a medium rare beef tenderloin waiting on me."

You felt eyes land on you. Looking straight ahead, you didn't bother two make eye contact with the only two people in the class that noticed your existence. Dib and Zim reached your desk at the same time, each slamming a hand on either side of the wood. 

"Get away, Dib-stink. She's/he's/they're my love-pig so that makes him/her/them my partner." Zim growled.

"I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but Y/n is my only friend in this class so that makes him/her/them my partner!" Dib countered.

You sit back in your seat. "Boys, don't I get a say in this?" They both looked at you blankly. "Ms. Bitters said we have to work in groups of three. Why don't we all work together? Problem solved."

"I'm not working with him!" They both announced at the same time, glaring at the other.

Ms. Bitters suddenly appeared behind them. She hissed at the two boys, ceasing the argument. "Both of you will be working with, y/n. Shut up. Here's your egg." She handed it to you.

You observed the white egg in your hands. "Uh, is there a reason it has a frown face on it?"

"It's to symbolize the misery we are all forced into when we are born in this pathetic life. Now go to lunch, all of you!"

You held the egg protectively in your hands and left the classroom. Zim and Dib were still at each other's throats. You sigh and sink into your chair in the lunchroom. How were you possibly going to make it through this project?
