Zim (On Hold)

Chapter Three

"So Heavy... Can't breathe... Need air..." You gasped dramatically. You were perfectly fine, you just didn't like awkward encounters with anyone. Apologising, he stands up and offers his hand to pull you up.

"Sorry 'bout that, guess I should find a better hangout than the bushes." He laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

"No, it's fine. I should be watching to make sure I don't occupy a space somebody's already standing in. I'm sorry about running into you with the speed and force of a crazed geek on their way to a video game store." You said laughing at the image you had provided, knowing you, you would be the geek on the way to the store. Therefore it was okay to joke about it with others.

"So, I really haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?" He asked, giving you a cross examination. You nodded, agreeing to his observation.

"Yeah, I need to find the office." You added, hoping he knew.

"Oh, follow me. I happen to know where it is." He told you, holding his arm out to you. You linked your arm through his and you both headed for the front office. On the way you chatted about each other's interests, likes, dislikes, and just life in general. He had a nice reassuring personality and was truly, in your opinion, a good guy.

You both arrived at the front office to find Keef and a sickly green kid in the office getting Keef's schedule for him. The kid next to him looked none too pleased, but was waiting for him none the less. You entered the office with Dib, the guy that escorted you there, and felt a slight hesitation from him.

The green person turned and spotted the both of you as you entered. He narrowed his eyes at Dib and Dib returned the gesture.

"Dib..." The green kid said, keeping a scowl.

"Zim..." Dib said, scowling as well.
