Dib pauses, mid-speech, slowly turning to face the newcomer who had popped up out of, seemingly, nowhere. He hadn’t been expecting any kind of response, especially not one that sounded so eager to hear more information.

Somebody… was actually interested in what he had to say? They weren’t rolling their eyes, scoffing internally, letting him rant but not actually listening to a single word he said?

Was he hallucinating, or was he just setting himself up to be relentlessly mocked?

“I… Yes, I was.” Dib was almost cautious in his confirmation, as though he was waiting for the camera crew to pop out of the woodwork along with the stranger, announcing that Dib had, once again, been on the receiving end of an elaborate practical joke. “I haven’t just seen an alien - he goes to school with me! He sits two desks down from me, freakish green skin, no ears, no nose, can’t eat the cafeteria food, all of the hallmarks of an extraterrestrial scoping out Earth for potential invasion… But no one else can see it!”

       Truth  be  told,  Gabriele's  own  knowledge  about  actual  extraterrestrial  life  was  very  limited  and  pretty  thin  in  general.  Most  of  the  things  he  had  learned  about  aliens  through  his  teenage  years  all  came  from  pulling  all  nighters  and  watching  a  bunch  of  tv  series  and  movies  about  paranormal  life,  which  of  course  --  those  more  experienced  and  with  actual  knowledge  on  the  matter  --  could  probably  find  ridicolous,  exaggerated  and  not  at  all  accurate.

      However,  Gabriele  wasn't  exactly  known  for  having  the  most  rational,  scientific  and  realistic  of  thinking..  if  somebody  told  him  about  the  existence  of  a  man  eating  jelly  monster  with  legs..  he  would  probably  believe  it.  But  could  you  blame  him  for  it?  He  was  an  easily  impressionable  child,  with  a  whole  bunch  of  imagination  and  way  too  much  free  time  to  spend.

     The  blonde  boy  listened  in  pure  awe  as  the  other  spoke,  barely  even  containing  his  own  excitement..  which  could  be  easily  noticable  by  the  way  his  body  slightly  jumped  up  and  down.

     There  is  no  way  this  boy  could  stand  still  for  too  long,  especially  in  situations  where  his  curiosity  was  triggered.

     "    An  alien?!  Goes  to  school  with  you?!  "    Disbelief  covered  the  boy's  expression  as  he  spoke,  not  even  thinking  about  the  fact  he  should  probably  keep  his  voice  low.
