New places are usually hard for some folks well at least that's what I heard. For me, it's much better to move away from where you were born, where bad memories stay. Luckily I could move because of what my parents left me. I look out the window of my new home. My 'mother'; who is just a robot rollers over to me. "Anything wrong my daughter?" She asks in that monotone robotic voice she has. I shake my head. "No, just getting over being carsick from the trip, nothing big. Go help 'father' with the unpacking please." She rolls away as I continue looking at the window. I sigh. As I watch the movers bring in the heavy stuff, a kid with a big head passes by.

"Oh wow, I didn't know heads could be THAT big!" I say aloud

The Next Morning

I pack up my backpack and unplug my 'parents' from the kitchen wall. The boot up instantly. "Alright I'm going to school, Dad go look in the newspaper for job listings, and "Mom" go clean the house. They go off to take care of the tasks while I collect my transfer papers and head off to the school.

I should've said, Skool, because that's where I ended up. "This can't be the school, it's spelled wrong." I look at the address again and, yep this is the place. I take a deep breath and walk in the misspelled building.


As I walk into the classroom the intercom turns on.

"Attention Ms. Bitters, you are chosen to have a new student in your 'lovely' classroom, please give her the education she needs, and don't expel her on her first day. Have a nice day." The Intercom turns off with some loud static

Ms. Bitters growls. "What a lazy bum doesn't even show himself, the coward. Anyway, new student enter and let's see if you're worth anything to our society!"

I walk in cautiously because of that unexpected tone. I look around at the class and feel a bit out of place. Here there are kids with long hair with all the colors of the rainbow pretty much even a bald kid and a kid that could be my grandpa and even… the boy with the big head!

Here I am whom looks a tad normal compared to all these kids, seeing that I dress in black and white all the time have medium dirty blond hair and crystal eyes.

Ms. Bitters looms over me casting a huge evil shadow, "Stop gawking and tell the class your name!"

I flinch at her and turn to the class, "Um hi-hi, I'm Crystal I like to doodle and I hope that-"

"Hope? There is no such thing! Now sit at the empty seat in the front! The last kid who sat here was hopeless! Let's 'hope' that you're not either!"

I rush over to the seat in fear of Ms. Bitters' wrath. The boy next to me stares at me; I stare back but with reason, seeing that he had green skin. He looks away as do I. No need to get in any trouble on the first day here. Soon after what seems to be hours of lectures on our horrible lives the bell rings for lunch.

I expected that the food was going to be the highlight of my first day… but sadly I'm wrong, so horribly wrong. Next time I'll have mom-bot fix me a lunch instead of giving me a few dollars. So far this day doesn't look to be picking up anytime soon. I should've just stayed in bed, or get home-schooled…nah I don't think that can work for me.

I see another shadow looming over me so I jolt my head up and turn around thinking that it's Ms. Bitters. No, it's the kid with the green skin. He's peering at me in a sort of creepy way. "Um excuse me, you're invading my personal bubble. Do you need something?"

He ignores me and instead starts to poke my forehead and look at me from all angles. I push him away. "What the heck is your problem? Don't you know better than to do that you creeper?"

He pushes me back. "Don't you know that it's rude and disrespectful to steal the planet of an Invader like ZIM?"

My jaw slackens. "What?"

He continues, "I have this planet completely under my control Invader… whoever you are, just go back to your voot crusier and tell the Tallest that I need no help, that what they send is just hindrance!" He adds the last word with a flourish.

I laugh without meaning to, "I have no idea what the heck you are talking about! I'm no Invader-whatever" I wipe my eyes. "You really are crazy whoever you are, now let me not eat my lunch okay?"

ZIM points at the green sludge on my tray. "See that proves that you and Irken Invader, Irkens would never eat this-this earth vomit!" He once again goes searching me. "How do you do the disguise she-beast? It's brilliant, almost Earth-like, it's so believable."

I slap him away. "Are you mental? I'm not an Irken or anything, I'm human!"

Suddenly the bigheaded boy jumps and lands on my table. "ZIM you leave the new student alone! Crystal is not an alien! And I would know!"

ZIM growls, "You didn't know that TAK was Irken until I told you Dib-monkey!"

"Neither did you until TAK showed you that she was!"

"That was all part of my plan, yes, for her to reveal herself so I may tell you so we could stop her!"

"You lie ZIM! You didn't plan any of that!"

I notice that the cafeteria is empty except for the three of us, and a purple haired girl in the corner playing a handheld.

"Listen, I'm just going to go now if you don't mind…" I try to sneak away when ZIM grabs my arm and drags me back.

"No she-beast, we will be contacting the Tallest to send you back!"

Dib grabs my other arm. "ZIM are you blind? She is defiantly human!"

I rip away my arms from both of them. "I don't have time to play a role-playing game with you nerds, I have to go to class."

I walk away to the classroom where behind me I can hear angry whispers being passed between ZIM and Dib. I just ignore them.
