Note: Hi you guys. Ok, well, I just pretty much edited my stuff. I changed a few things, but nothing really big. I'm sorry if i left you guys hanging in the end. I thought the ending was fine though, but I added a little something in the end (nothing extreme).

PS118, 4th grade classroom
"I'm inviting all of you to a masked ball my parents are holding," Rhonda said, as she passed invitations to her classmates. As she handed one to Helga, Helga asked, sounding annoyed (as usual), "What for?"
"It's for my parents' wedding anniversary. My mother ordered more than enough food-"
"Food!" Harold interrupted sounding giddy.
"Yes, food," Rhonda said annoyed. "As I was saying, my mother ordered more than enough food, so she thought it would be nice to invite my fellow fourth grade friends."
"Thanks Rhonda," Arnold said as he was handed an invitation. "I guess."
Gerald turned to Arnold. "So are you going?"
"Yeah, I think so. It sounds like fun," Arnold replied.
Helga sat in her desk looking at the invitation, which said,
"You Are Cordially Invited To
"Mr. & Mrs. Buckley Lloyd's
"Anniversary Masked Ball
"At the Berrilli's Hall on Friday at 7:30 PM
"*Formal wear"
Helga said to herself, "Great! This is the perfect opportunity to get Arnold's attention." She looked around her to make sure no one's looking and slid under her desk. Helga took out her heart-shaped locket with Arnold's picture in it. She looked at it with loving eyes and said, "Arnold, my love, this Friday you will know how much I adore and long for you. I will finally admit that the only reason I'm so cruel to you is because I love you so much. I love you! I love you! I love you!!!"
"Uh, Helga," Mr. Simmons interrupted. "What-what exactly are you doing under your desk?"
Everyone turned to look at her. She hid the locket behind her and gave Mr. Simmons and the class a nervous smile followed by a nervous laugh. "Oh, uh, nothing Mr. Simmons. Just admiring how I love
the-" Helga looked around the room trying to think of something fast. Beads of sweat poured down her face. "The-tiles! Yeah, how I love these tiles! I never noticed how the tiles compliment your lovely green eyes Mr. Simmons."
"Thanks, Helga, I guess. But I don't have green eyes. I have brown," Mr. Simmons said.
"Heh, heh. Well whaddaya know," Helga replied with a nervous smile.
Then the bell rang.

Helga's House
"Merriam!" Helga cried as she entered her house. She slammed the door shut. "Merriam!" she cried again. Helga went inside the kitchen and found her mom sleeping on the kitchen table again with a cup of coffee still in her hand. Helga shook her. "Merriam! Wake up!"
"What? Where am I?" She asked with a voice that sounded as tired as she looked. Merriam looked around her and found Helga next to her. "Wuh-what do you want?" She asked Helga, with a tired voice.
"Merriam! I need a nice dress for Friday night! A formal dress," Helga said irritably.
"Well, I think we still have some of you sister's formal dresses she wore to her prom or something. I don't know. Look in one of the closets..."Merriam's voice was fading and she slowly went back to sleep.
"Good night, mother," Helga said sarcastically.
Helga left the room and headed upstairs. She went to her mom's room and opened the dresser.
"Hmm..." Helga looked at the options she had. She saw a green, tacky dress with what looked like little fur balls sewn on.
"Gross...what died?" she said, and threw the dress on the floor. She went through several different dresses and saw the perfect one. It was a pale pink dress with tiny ribbons, but it was obvious that it was a bit too big for her.
"Perfect! Just a few adjustments and it will look great!" She said excitedly and headed to her room to fix her dress.
