Helga Pataki and her classmates were sitting in the bus after school had ended for the weekend. As usual, Helga was sitting next to her best friend, Phoebe.
"What are you going to do this weekend, Helga?" Phoebe asked.
"Just the usual. I got started on a new writing project."
"You did? How long has that been around?"
"The idea? Oh, maybe a week or so. I'm not going to spread it around just yet."
"Maybe you'll tell when you're good and ready."
Helga nodded when Phoebe said that.
"I will let you know when I think the time is right. It's on the romantic side."
"Is that the only hint I'm getting for now?"
"Yes," Helga answered with a mysterious type of voice.
"By the tone of your voice, Helga, you sound mysterious," Arnold said, who was listening to the conversation.
"Who asked you, football head?"
"Sorry. I can tell by the voice it sounds mysterious you don't want to tell about your new project."
"That's right, football head. It'll remain a mystery for now."
"Is your new project involving poetry?" Sid asked.
"I'm not saying a word about it," Helga said as she zipped her mouth.
"I agree with you, Arnold. She does want to hide something for now," Gerald said.
The bus stopped and Helga, Arnold, and Gerald got off the bus since they were going to walk home from the bus stop.
"What are you doing this weekend?" Gerald asked Arnold.
Recently, Arnold had shown interest in God and His Word.
"I'm not sure. Maybe get together with some friends from the church for a Bible Study."
"What the heck is that?" Helga asked with interest.
"A Bible Study is when a group of people get together and discuss things," Phoebe answered.
"That's right, Phoebe," Arnold said.
"What kind of morons would want to do that creepy thing?" Helga asked.
"Religious people like doing it. It's not creepy, Helga," Arnold said.
"You don't need Jesus Christ to do a Bible Study," Helga said.
"Of course you do. How else are you going to seek Him?" Arnold asked.
"People like me who aren't religious don't need God. God is for losers," Helga said.
It turned out she was wrong. God is Father to every living person and animals. Without God nobody would be able to get around on their own.
Helga didn't want to mention this to her friends quite yet but she was using the Bible for her new project. That's what it was involved since she had been hearing God lately and He was the one who gave her the idea to start working on this one. Helga used the Bible version of The Message but she did try the Holy Bible, but found it confusing and hard to understand, so she went to a bookstore and purchased the Bible. She'd kept it under her mattress so her parents wouldn't know she'd been doing something that involved religion. Her mother was too lazy to even care about what she was doing and Big Bob cared about himself and her older sister, Olga and nothing else.
