The Loneliness Test (ZaDr)

Chapter 1: Hi Skool

It was a day like any other, or, it would have been if it weren't for a certain alien with the name of Zim.

It had been about 4 years since this invader came to Earth, none of his plans had worked so fair- obviously, this was due to Dib getting in the way.

Hi Skool was a replica of what was hell, just 10 times worse. In fact- Make that fifty. The teachers were shit- by that, they were either so cruel that breathing could end in death, or so laid back that you may as well bring a bomb or machine gun to class. The rooms were stuffy and the ventilation never worked due to dead rats, old pets, sweet wrappers and dust making an almost unbreakable blockage. The classrooms always smelt like grease- not the stuff that you put on burgers, no, the stuff you get from cleaning a mouse that's been eating away at fast food. The teachers always put on so much perfume it would sting your eyes even from the back of the class. The windows never opened for some odd reason, however much you tried and the food was so disgusting that most children just went hungry and ate at home- Many never even approached the cafeteria.

Zim groaned, listening to the drone of the teacher- It was last class. He was doodling a picture of him destroying that filthy planet Earth. Meanwhile, Dib was laughing silently at this piece of "Art" that the supposed alien had drawn (It was only stick figures after all.) He was also drawing a picture of Zim's defeat which could only happen soon enough for the Paranormal Investigator. 

Riiiiiiing!

The school-bell rang, rudely interrupting the teacher and signalling the end of another school day. Despite the teachers complains and yelling, the students all dashed through the door, joining the crowd of about 300 teenagers pushing and shoving to leave the building which was once called a School but would fit the description "Prison" handsomely.

The only ones left were Zim and Dib.

Unsurprisingly, Zim was trying to carry everything at once- Dib, on the other hand, Was prepared to trip the unstable invader. However, this did not succeed as the alien stepped right past him. "Damn it. He shouldn't be that tall." Dib muttered to himself- as he usually did. That habit hadn't changed.

Zim sniggered to himself as he left the 'Skool,' walking weirdly just to balance the stack of books in his arms. He got to his door and opened it with one foot, losing his balance and watching helplessly as important paperwork fluttered to the damp pavement, himself landing in a small yet muddy puddle. Conveniently for Dib, the Paranormal Investigator walked past at that exact time, getting the last laugh. This was when Dib realised that he was actually planning to steal one of Zim's papers as he'd lost his. And it was completely ruined.

"Oh for f-" Dib glanced at a kid playing football "Uh, fudge. Fudge cake"
