Part 3- Skool Shenanigans

It was soon morning, and things went by in a flash because the next thing I knew, I was standing in front of several human children. "Class, I would like to introduce the newest, hopeless appendages to the student body. First off is... Zim. Zim, if you have something to say, say it now, because after this moment, I don't wanna hear another sound from you!" Zim puts on a wide 'friendly' smile, "Hello, friends. I am a perfectly normal human worm baby." As he talks, his classmates look bored and uninterested except for a boy with glasses who points and stares with his mouth agape. I shuffle on my feet, nervous that he could tell that Zim isn't human. The alien resumes talking, "You have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear from me. Just pay no attention to me and we'll get along just fine." "Take your seat now, Zim."

Zim walks with his arms outstretched to an empty desk in the front row. Ms. Bitters faces me. "Now for our other new student. Hurry up and introduce yourself girl, I'm losing my patience." I nodded and wring my hands behind my back anxiously. "Hello everyone. My name is (first and last name). It's an honor... to be here? I umm... I'm looking forward to making friends. Thank you." I am about to find a seat before I see that every seat is filled. Ms. Bitters sighs. "Reading in my class are we, Aki? That calls for a trip to the Principal's office!!" The unsuspecting girl in the front row flinches. "I want you out of this classroom now!" The teacher shouts in her face. Terrified, she closes her book, stands up and runs out of the classroom to the principal's office.

The woman slithers back to her desk like a snake. "N/N, take the now empty seat next to Dib. Immediately." "Yes Ms. Bitters!" I scramble to sit down in the seat next to the glasses kid and take out a notebook from my backpack. I can feel 'Dib's' gaze on me as I face the front. Ms. Bitters points to the board, "Today's lecture is about outer space... and how it will eventually implode in on itself!" Zim stands on his desk with both arms up. Seeing this I mentally facepalm. I fear for my partner as Ms. Bitters answers, "Yes, Zim?" "In the event of, say, a full-scale alien invasion, how prepared do you think this planet's defenses would be? Tell me!" My eyes widen with shock as I look at him, trying to telepathically communicate and tell him to SHUT UP. Ms. Bitters doesn't react to him though and just continues on with her lecture. "As I was saying, the universe is just doomed. Doomed, doomed, doooooomed!" A bug crawls across her face, which is super creepy; I shudder. She continues to say "doomed" over and over.

Dib speaks up next to me, "Okay, am I the only one here who sees the alien sitting in class?" The students look around for an alien as I slightly jump in my seat. "There!" Dib points to me and for a second I'm about to get up and run out of the classroom. But then I realize he's not pointing at me, he's pointing past me and at Zim. I look towards Zim but then nervously look back at Dib. He thinks I must not believe him so he says, "Right there!" Everyone looks at Zim again and he starts to sweat. I tug on my hair in nervousness. What I forgot to mention before, is that my disguise is no longer just a normal hologram. I programmed the hologram appearance to actually cling to my body so it's a physical thing, and not something you can just wave your hand through. I added these changes last night, because I was afraid that something might happen and I didn't want anybody figuring out my true identity. So now the disguise is no longer just a hologram- it's a shapeshifting disguise and actually a part of me.

Okay back to me freaking out. Dib's voice pierced my ears, "That is no kid! He's an alien! An alien! One of the monsters I've been talking about! He's here to conquer Earth!" I look over and see that Zim hovers his finger towards a self-destruct button on his sleeve. I make eye contact with him and shake my head, pleading with him not to do it. Before he could press the button, a girl with purple hair leaned on Zim's chair. "Aw, not this again. You're crazy!" Zim relaxes as I nod in relief and the self-destruct button disappears. 'Thank you purple girl' I say in my head. "What about his horrible green head!?!" My head snaps back to Dib. "Insolent fool boy! It's a skin condition." Zim fires back. "And he's got no ears! Is that part of your 'skin condition', Zim? No ears?" Dib leans over my desk, close to my face, pointing to his own ears. Good thing my disguise has ears. Zim looks ashamed, "Yes."
