‘Why does he keep looking over here?’ Dib thought to himself, looking away from his sister’s table.
And why did he have to be sitting with Gaz, of all people? Probably Keef’s fault. Maybe Dib could get Zim alone later and tell him not to talk to his sister. Yeah, right. Zim seemed like he was the type that looked calm and quiet, but if you told him to do or not to do something, he’d probably snap at you. Dib didn’t want to risk getting into a fight with him, on school grounds or otherwise. He wished he knew where Zim lived. Surely, Zim wouldn’t strike him if his parents were around. Unless he was a latch-key kid like Dib and Gaz were.
“Zim keeps looking at you.” Rob told Dib.
“Maybe he likes you.” Torque chuckled, spooning some unidentifiable food from his plate into his mouth.
“Ugh, he’d better not.” Dib sneered.
“Still mad about yesterday?” Brian stated the obvious.
“Duh.” Dib rolled his eyes. “There was no reason to lie like he did. I don’t know what his problem was.”
“Maybe there’s something on his mind.” Rob said. “I mean, for the staring at you now part. I don’t know why he lied yesterday. Maybe he’s pathological.”
“It could be.” Dib shrugged. “Maybe we should refer the Shrink to him.”
The others laughed. “Sounds like a plan.” Torque said.
“So he lied to you.” Zita commented. “Big deal. People lie all the time.”
“He lied a few times. Changed his story every time someone asked something.” Torque said. “We don’t know what to believe, and until we do, he’s a threat.”
“What threat could he possibly be? Look, all I see is a new kid who’s being dragged around by Keef and talking to Gaz and is probably gay.”
“You think he’s gay?” Dib asked.
“Well, he’s looking at you for a reason, Dib.”
“Maybe Gaz said something to him.” Sara shrugged.
“I wouldn’t put it past her.” Rob shook his head.
“Whatever.” Dib sighed. He didn’t really care. Dib stole another look at Zim’s table, and sneered in disgust.

Once school was out, Zim was dragged outside by Keef to meet his friends from the lunch table. They were sitting on a picnic bench outside, chatting. Even Gaz was with them. Zim smiled at her and she returned the gesture.
“Well, Zim here said he’ll consider being a straight member of the club.” Keef smiled at Zim.
“Good.” Gaz said. “I’m tired of only having three straight people in this thing and none of them are guys.”
Zim flushed. “I have to check with mom.” He lied.
“Don’t be lying.” Gaz ordered.
Zim shook his head. “I’m not.” You are.
“What bus number are you, Zim?” Gretchen asked.
“Uh…I don’t ride the bus. I walk.” He said. First truth you’ve told in a while.
“Well, where do you live?” Keef asked.
“Uh…that way.” Zim pointed.
Keef giggled. “I meant your address.” He corrected. “Can’t be too far from the club, I assume.”
“About ten minutes.” Zim shrugged.
“Do you even know how to get home from here?” Gretchen wondered.
“Yea, sort of.” Zim responded. “I can manage.”
“Sure?” Another boy, who Keef had introduced as Melvin. “You want someone to walk with you or something?”
“Naw, I’ll be fine.” Zim waved his hand.
“I seriously doubt that.” Dib’s voice sneered.
Zim turned. Dib stood with Brian, Rob, Torque, and two girls Zim hadn’t met before. He had his arms folded and didn’t look happy to be talking to Zim.
“Oh.” Zim greeted. “Hi, Dib.”
“Gaz, let’s go.” Dib ignored Zim’s greeting.
“Don’t be rude.” Gaz sneered.
“Fine, whatever.” Dib rolled his eyes. “Hi, Zim. Gaz, now.”
Gaz snarled and continued playing her game as she stood.
“See you guys tomorrow.” She said. “Nice meeting you, Zim.”
“You too, Gaz.” Zim smiled.
“Bet he’s lying about that.” Torque sneered as he and the other started to leave.
“Can’t you guys just let it go?” Zim asked.
“Zim.” Keef hissed, shaking his head and his eyes wide.
“Excuse me?” Rob asked.
“Look, I know I lied, and it was a stupid thing to do. I’m sorry.” Zim said. “But everyone lies. It’s something you have to deal with.”
Brian looked ready to retort with something, but Dib spoke before him. “Let him go.” Dib rolled his eyes. “It’s not worth it.” He looked at Zim. “You really know how to get off to a bad start with someone, huh? You know, we all could have been friends, if you hadn’t lied.”
“I got flustered and embarrassed, and I said something I shouldn’t have.” Zim folded his arms. “I already apologized. What more do you want out of me?”
“Nothing.” Dib rolled his eyes. ‘Obviously you lack basic personal skills.”
“My personal skills are just fine, thank you.” Zim said. “And, by the way, I’m not the one holding a grudge over something trivial. If you don’t want me to talk to you ever again, then fine, I won’t.”
“That would be great.” Dib sneered. “Great first day at school, huh?”
“Listen you…”
“That’s enough.” Gaz had paused her game, and now stood between the feuding teens. “Dib, accept the damn apology, Zim stop trying to reason with him.”
“I accept the apology.” Dib said. “Doesn’t mean I’m gonna forget about it as easily.”
“I don’t expect you to forget.” Zim said. “I’d be pissed too if I was lied to like you were, but I really didn’t mean it.”
“Zim, stop.” Gaz rolled her eyes. “You two don’t get along, we all get that. Now come on, moron, let’s go.” She grabbed her brother by the arm and yanked him away.
“He’s so infuriating!” Zim scuffed the ground with his toe once Dib and company had left.
“He’s a popular kid.” Melvin said. “What more do you want?”
“I’m just…not used to people talking to me like that.” Zim said. “That’s all.”
“Why? Are you royalty or something?” Melvin wondered.
“No, I just never went to school before.” Half a lie.
“Really?” Keef sounded impressed. ‘You’re very smart, though.”
“Thanks.” Zim flushed. “I was homeschooled.”
“My cousin was homeschooled.” Gretchen said, smiling widely. “She hated it. She never got to interact with people her own age.”
“Yeah, my older brothers used to bring me out to parties all the time, and there’d be kids my age there a lot.” Not so much a lie. You’re getting good at this.
“Used to?” Melvin wondered.
“My mom and I moved here and they’re adults, so they have their own places back home. Can’t take me anywhere if they’re not around.”
“Good point.” Keef nodded.
Buses began to pull up in front of the school and opened their doors.
“Aw, the buses.” Keef frowned. “Well, time to go home.”
“I hope you get back alright, Zim.” Gretchen said. “See you tomorrow.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow.” Zim responded. “Bye, guys.”
They all waved and walked towards different buses. Zim waited until the buses left and were out of sight before leaving school grounds himself, hoping no one would see where he was going.

Dib pushed open the door to his house, leading everyone else in.
“I don’t see why you have such a problem with him, Dib.” Gaz scowled. “He seems fine to me.”
“You heard what he said, Gaz. He has an attitude.” Dib said.
“Don’t like in him what you see in you?” Gaz asked.
“Excuse me?” Dib raised an eyebrow.
“You have an attitude. He probably wouldn’t have been as rude if you hadn’t been rude first.”
“I wouldn’t have been rude first if he hadn’t lied!”
“So you combat lying by being rude?” Gaz asked. “Tell me how that makes sense!”
“You know, Gaz, if you keep defending him like that, we might start to think you like him.” Torque chuckled, putting an arm around her shoulders.
Gaz scowled and shoved him away, not even looking up from her game.
“Shut up.” She ordered. “I’ll be upstairs.” Gaz walked up the stairs, saying nothing more about the matter.
“You don’t think she does like him, do you?” Sara asked, nervously twisting a strand of her dark hair.
“Gaz doesn’t like anyone.” Dib responded. “It’s a miracle she has friends at all, even if he’s one of them.”
“Okay, I think it’s time to let it go for the day.” Brian said.
“Yeah, let’s do something.” Rob launched himself over the back of the couch and sat down. “Put on the tube and we’ll watch something.”
“Or we could go out somewhere.” Zita shrugged.
“Last time we did that, we met the liar.” Dib said. “And I’m hungry. Who wants food? I’ll order a pizza.”
The door opened and Professor Membrane walked in. “Hello son.” He greeted. “And friends. Where’s Gaz?”
“Upstairs playing her stupid game.” Dib rolled his eyes. “Can we order a couple pizzas?”
“I don’t see why not.” Membrane shrugged. “You know where the money is. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I have some work…”
“Did Dib tell you about the guy he met the other day?” Jessica, a blonde girl, asked.
“The liar?” Torque offered.
“Oh, him.” Membrane nodded. “He did mention something about a boy you children ran into. Why?”
“He goes to our school now.” Zita said. “Keef’s made it his job to show him everything.”
“Oh, well that’s fine.” Membrane looked at Dib. “Did you say hello?”
“Well…sort of.” Dib flushed. “I mean, not really.”
“He was rude as holy hell.” Gaz said, walking down the stairs. “And I need new batteries.” She went to a desk and pulled open the drawer, fishing a pack of batteries out of it.
Membrane turned to Dib.
“I said hello.” Dib rolled his eyes. “And I accepted his apology.”
“You put up a fight about it.” Gaz corrected. “And said that he had poor personal skills.”
“What else do you call it when someone lies to a person they just met instead of being honest and then acts like they did nothing wrong?” Dib sneered.
Membrane shook his head. “Try just being polite next time, son.” He scolded. “Now, I have some very important business to attend to in the lab. It was nice to see you children again.” He went to a door marked ‘Labs’, and disappeared inside.
“Why’d you bring it up?” Dib looked to Jessica.
“I thought maybe he’d know how to handle it.” Jessica shrugged. “Sorry, should I have not said anything?”
“That would have been better, yeah.” Dib looked to his sister. “And why’d you have to tell him I was an ass to Zim?”
“Cause otherwise you’d say that Zim was being an ass to you, and I thought dad should know the truth.” Gaz shrugged. “Pepperoni on mine.” She went back upstairs.
Dib rolled his eyes. He was so not ordering her a pepperoni pizza.

Zim sighed as he flipped through channels on his TV later that night. Earth channels sure were boring. The most he found was some commercial for a product called ‘Acne Blast’, and one of a strange man jumping around in a taco suit. They didn’t make sense. He wished he could get Irken channels without alerting anyone to his presence, but that was something that was impossible. For now, he’d have to settle for Earth television. Or should it be more appropriately named as Human Television, considering he had earlier learned that the species was called human. If he was bored enough, he could have always called up Keef and seen if he’d mind giving him a tour of the town, but then he might run into Dib again. Ugh, the teenager was so infuriating! So what if Zim lied? He would hate to see what his reaction would be had he told him the truth. He’d probably think Zim was lying again. Why were human males so hard to understand? Irken males were so much easier to read. Maybe if he were human, then it wouldn’t be as difficult. But no, he was an Irken and therefore other races made no sense to him. He understood some stuff about the Meekrob and the Vortians, but humans were something different. Maybe it was just the human race? Eh, whatever. All this thinking and trying to understand Dib was hurting his head. Zim turned off the TV and pulled his backpack up from the floor. He had some homework he should’ve been working on, but it wasn’t too hard and he could do it before school. Maybe he’d go and tinker with some machinery he had made the night before and see if he could come up with anything else that would be useful. So far he had made a security system and a toaster, but that was it. The security system had to be installed, but that could wait. Everything seemed in order and he hadn’t seen any trouble around the neighborhood on the way back. Maybe there was a low crime rate? Whatever. It didn’t matter as long as everything was safe. Zim stood and stretched. Maybe he’d go and explore the town a bit more himself. That worked. Maybe something entertaining would happen.
