Ava faltered beneath the other’s accusative stare, scarlet eyes darting helplessly
around the cafeteria. Noticing that his theatrics were drawing a handful of stares
from various other students, her cheeks reddened and her chin dipped down in
to the pseudo-safety of her scarf, while wishing she could just disappear. Indeed,
she had seen the clearly inhuman lifeform sitting at the table adjacent, but she’d
been so preoccupied with her own racing anxieties that it hadn’t been given much
thought– it wasn’t as if she hadn’t seen stranger things, after all. There were a few
moments of thick, tense silence before she managed to meet eyes with the boy
once more, throwing one last tentative glance about the room & lowering her voice.
❝ R-Really, I didn’t see whatever he did, but it’s–
it’s kind of obvious that he’s not human, isn’t it? ❞
FOR A MOMENT, he simply stares at the girl, wide-eyed and awestruck by observational skills superior to the rest of their peers. for once, someone is finally seeing things from his point of view. along with the formation of possibly the widest grin to ever grace his features, he practically shouts,
❝ YES ! YES, IT IS VERY, VERY OBVIOUS !! ❞
his outburst effectively sends a wave of silence throughout the entire cafeteria, children from every table glancing up from the meager pools of ketchup and rice on their lunch trays to stare at the spectacle of two freaks sharing a particularly loud conversation. dib pays them little mind as he continues, too excited to possibly stop himself.
❝ he’s an ALIEN, is what he is ! i’ve even seen him without
his dumb disguise----if you can even call some lousy eye
contacts and a wig a disguise !! but you’d be surprised how
many people he usually FOOLS around here ! everyone’s
so quick to believe his countless excuses, but there’s too
much evidence to even consider anything he-- ❞
a clean smack to his forehead interrupts his speech, and stuck between his glasses he notices the half-used pack of baby wipes that was thrown at him. one wipe hangs loose from its package, until dib attempts unhooking the plastic from his glasses and the wipe floats down directly into ava’s lap. from a distance, the voice of a triumphant zita can be heard : ❝ sweet, both in one hit ! ❞ a small collection of cheers follow, while some of the people surrounding them silently stand up in search of seats further away from them.
