Helga's Reappearance

"Be quiet, class! Take your seat, ladies and gentlemen, please!" Mrs. Fantom called as her glasses slid itself to half way down her nose. The kids slowly obey her demand, but settled down atlas. "You guys are 8th grader. Next year, you'll heading for high school soon. You should learn how to behave!"

"There go her 'high school' speech again. UGH!" Gerald muttered. His hairstyle changed a lot since fourth grade; his curly black hair disappeared left the place empty.

"I'm so tired of all of her lecture," Arnold added, who hasn't change a bit. His blonde wing-like hair was still in its regular shape the previous four years.

"Who isn't?" Sid murmured.

Living in the neighborhood for all their life, Arnold and Gerald were still the bestest friends. Harold was still piggy looking as always. Rhonda, Stinky, Sid, Phoebe, and everyone else were still their original-self, except Helga. Nobody knows what happened to Helga ever since they entered Middle School. Rumors said that the devils has traced her and bring her with them to the underworld, but of course, rumors were and always are just rumors. Helga's family has moved to a different state because of sister's business. Helga's parents decided to join Helga's sister after her sister graduated. At first, everyone was cheering and celebrating because Helga moved away. Yet days passed by, it felt like something is missing in the neighborhood; something bittersweet that when it's here, you want it to disappear, but when it's gone, something isn't right…

"Class, please quiet down. Let's show a little respect to our new student, Helga P-," Mrs. Fantom said as Gerald rudely interrupted her.

"Helga? Is that you?" Gerald yelled out. Everyone was now pay attention to what was going on, and then began to chitchat again about Helga's reappearance.

"How rude!" Mrs. Fantom said. "Well, Helga. Welcome to Marshall Junior High. What school did you went to?"

Helga said nothing. 'She has been re-modified by the devils!' Stinky whispered.

"Oh-well, I supposed you're an old friend of everyone here. Choose any seat you like."

Helga said nothing and walked toward the last seat, last row, next to Arnold since it was the only one available.

"Hi, Helga. Welcome back," Arnold said friendly and a little tentatively as he let out a smile. Helga said nothing and dully looked at Mrs. Fantom, pretending to pay attention.

At lunchtime, everyone was following Helga and tried to ask her questions but she solely walked to an empty table with half of her eyelids down. So far, Helga hasn't say a word since school start.

"Hey Helga," Arnold reluctantly said as he passed by. Helga said nothing and consumed her lunch.

"What's up with her?" Gerald said.

"She changed. Totally different from that ferocious Helga we used to know," Sticky added.

"Yeah," Harold tucked his nose in as he swallowed half of the hot dog. "She's as quiet as a zombie."

Arnold stood up and walked toward Helga, where she was sitting.

"What is he think he's doing?" Sid whispered.

"Oh no! He better not anger the ferocious tiger in Helga!" Sticky said. "What a brave boy. We'll missed him if he didn't' survive."

"Shut up, Sticky!" Gerald narrowed.

"Hey Helga!" Arnold said with more energy this time. " What class do you have next?"

"Poor Arnold. Tried to make a conversation out of Helga, the zombie?" Rhonda said in pity for Arnold.

"Drama. Now leave me alone," Helga said coldly as she stumbled away. The first words ever come out of her mouth ever since she arrived.

"Uh… See you in Drama then!" Arnold said as Helga faded out the door.
