Open Comic Book
There was a good news and a bad news.
The good news was that the rained stopped. Nobody have bothered me at skool, besides Iggins who won't leave me alone until I gave him some looks to tell him that I needed some privacy.
The bad news was that I was tired from last night from the noise that were from the wind. Not even my game help me get back to sleep. I almost fell asleep in my class. Mr. Elliot cheered loudly which woke me up before my head fell on the desk. Gym was kind of funny even if I was tired. I played volleyball, but I hit my teammate with the ball that she had to go to the nurse's office for a while.
Since I came in skool, Zim wasn't there. The guy had guts, but I didn't know he give up that fast. Even when I went to lunch, there was his siblings, but no sign of that moron. He wasn't even in Biology class.
When I got home, dad had to go to a meeting to talk about something to stop global warning. He left a recording video on how to make the beans so we can eat it. I was still not happy that it didn't end all human life like the last time.
I went upstairs to finish my homework. After it was done, dad came home and we started eating dinner. It was silent for a moment until he broke it with a conversation.
"So, how was skool? Have you made any friends?" he asked.
"Okay, I guess. And made a few...acquaintances. There's this one kid who wouldn't shut up about he's the best at the vampire piggies. The rest doesn't matter to me," I replied.
"Ah, that Iggins. Funny little boy he is. His family owns the sporting goods outside of town."
"Do you know about the Cullens?" I asked, getting this cruddy curiosity off me.
"Mr. C's family? Sure. He's a great man."
"His kids....are different. They hardly belong here on Earth."
"Mr. Cullen is a excellent comic book writer who would have made more money if he sell his comics in other companies. He is also a very famous artist. You'd probably heard of the series Happy Noodle Boy, right? We're lucky to have him since his wife wanted to live in a small town. His kids are well-behaved and polite. I had doubts, when they first moved here together. I thought we might have some problems. In the end, they all turned out very mature. Never had a problem with any of them. They stick together a way like a family should be --- camping trips every once other weekend. Just because they're newcomers, people have to talk about it."
This is the first long speech that came from dad that wasn't about his work. Dad must have been friends with them or something.
"They seem good to me. The kids also kept to themselves. But they still look....out of this world," I added, trying to be nice, despite Zim being the one who did bother me, but the rest of his family didn't seem to be like him at all.
"The mind of the writer is the one who is out of this world if you ever get to meet him," he chuckled. "It's a good thing he is married. A lot of girls never seem to bother with him for some reason."
After we finished eating and washing the dishes, dad went back down to his lab and I went up to my room to finish homework. After it was done, I went to play video games until my curfew came so I can sleep.
Not much happened during the week at skool. I got used to my classes. In Gym, everyone tried their best to hit the ball. When it was my turn to serve, most of them ran to the sides so they won't get hit by it. I didn't mind much.
Zim Cullen didn't come back to skool.
Every day, I see the Cullens come in the cafeteria without him. The zone was peaceful without him bothering me. I heard that Iggins and the rest of the kids are going on a trip to the beach that he planned out. When I heard that it was peaceful and quiet, I decided to tag along since it would be a good place to play my games.
