She waits stays still, hoping, praying, that one day she may see him again. After her feelings were returned to her by a special certain boy that she has been in love with for the longest time, she was promised that he would come back after he gets to know his parents, since they weren't there for him for the first part of his life all because they were saving important lives. She longs for him, and her poetry continued but has decreased since he wasn't there. In her quiet room she hears her sister knocking her bedroom door telling her that dinner was ready. She got up from her bed and decided to eat with her annoying family.

"Dinner is excellent as always Olga." Says the father named Big Bob.

"Thank you daddy." She replied back.

I, Helga G. Pataki, have mellowed out since he left. I still try to ignore my family and my bullying at school has slowed down. Sure I have threatened only a few times this last year, but I just seem to focus solely on school, to keep my mind occupied.

"Oh, before I forget, Helga you got another letter in the mail today." Said Olga.

She handed it to me and I dare not to open it at the dinner table. Once Olga was satisfied that I ate most of my food, I got up from the table and went into my room to read this important letter from my beloved football-headed boyfriend. It had been years, and he sends me a letter every other week. I cringe at the thought of sending him any one of the letters I have written but never sent. Yet, I cannot help but smile to be able to read his words yet again. I open up my letter.

Dear Helga,

How are things with you? I am fine. It is weird that I haven't even gotten a letter from you, yet. Phoebe has been informing me about you and I was wondering if you were alright. I have more news from San Lorenzo, and I can't wait to share them with you and the gang. More importantly, I will be moving back home and I would like to see you again. I think I will be there by the 9th, and I hope we could do something. I miss you

Sincerely yours,

Arnold Shortman

I look at the stamp marking and it was sent on the first of this month, and I looked to my calendar and to my complete shock…today is the 9th and he is here in town right now. Think Helga, he must still be getting his things ready before heading out. My letters! I grabbed my bag of unsent letters and yelled at the front door "I'm going out."

I ran to his house trying to find a place to leave my letters, and right when I thought of stuffing my letters into the mailbox I hear something I haven't heard in years.

"Helga? What are you doing here?"

"A-Arnold…uh, I was…oh never mind. Seeing that you caught me stuffing my unsent letters into your mailbox I have no explanation for this."

He laughs "Whatever you say, Helga." We sat in silence.

"It has been a long time, football head."

"Yeah, too long…say why don't we visit the gang?"

"Despite how much has changed I can hardly call them a gang, but we still are speaking with each other from time to time."

"You still bullying them?"

"Less than fourth grade."

"Where do you think they might be?"

I stood up grabbing Arnold by the arm "Follow me."

Chapter 2…..

After seeing him I couldn't wait to see him at school. Sure we met the gang and everyone was surprised to have Arnold back. Even Rhonda walked away from her popularity to see him at the arcade where everyone else was. Gerald was so happy to see his best friend back that he tripped over Eugene and they both crashed down. Time flew by fast that it was so dark outside the manager at the arcade kicked us out. My love is back, and I swear on ole Betsy that will never lose him again.

I woke up and got myself ready. I wore my pink ribbon in my hair and put the bow near my right ear, pink t-shirt, blue jeans, skater sneakers, being ambushed by my sister that she fixed my face to look "natural" for my friends in school. Puh-lease, they don't care what I look like (except for Rhonda). I got unto the bus on the way to high school with my friend Phoebe. Waiting for another day of school work, but only this time, Arnold is there.

…classroom, Homeroom teacher Mr. Sunrise…

"Students, we have two new special people coming into our class as of today."

I think, he so reminds me of Mr. Simmons. I see Arnold walk in, but I don't see the other.

"This is Arnold. He will have this class as his home room."

Yes.

"And, oh, where is the other one?" I see Arnold walk to the door and pulls a girl by the hands. My eyes shot wide open. Who the heck is she?

"This is Eve. She is blind and, according to my parents, a selective mute; meaning that she is able to talk, but she doesn't want to." I am looking at the girl and she shakes her head and scribbling the air like a pencil, like she was trying to write something.

"My parents and I found her in the jungles of San Lorenzo. We believe that she was saved by the elusive and legendary 'Green-Eyed People' and they wanted us to take care of her."

Rhonda says "Why is she shaking her head?"

"We do not know. We have asked her questions and she just doesn't answer back."

"Hey Football Head! Look at her hand. It's obvious to me that she wants to communicate by writing."

"But she's blind" says Sheena.

We saw her turn towards the teacher that was writing names on the chalkboard, she walked to the wall, hitting the desk, and just feeling it. She found a piece of chalk and raised her hand up high and wrote in nice handwriting "Serena."
