A/N: ok so I felt it was an obligation to let any one who reads this know that this is indeed my vary first time writing a fanfiction and clearly I'm not going to start of as an amazing story writer right away, like all you amazing people out there, but I've been dying to finally create and post my own HA work, so I decided to grow a pair and give it a try. And I feel really proud with my self for doing so.
So an advance I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors found

Chapter 1
"Phoebe calm down you worry to much, it's really no big deal, I'll be in and out in a flash"
Shifting her phone to the other ear using her shoulder to hold in place Helga let out a long sigh and cut of the engine to her car. "Listen pheebs I'm already here so relax, I'll be over at your place with your homework in the next 30 minutes, and don't worry about the janitor he doesn't leave for another 20 minutes or so. I'll have plenty of time to get to your locker and back without being noticed.
Swiftly looking down at her watch Helga's eyes shot up realizing that 5 minutes had now passed "ok well I better go pheebs, I'll call you back when I'm close"
"Wait! Helga are you sure becau-
But before the petit friend could protest any longer Helga quickly cut of the call and opened her car door, immediately regretting not bringing a jacket as she was hit by the teeth chattering autumn air.
Leaving the comfort of her heated car Helga wrapped her arms around her self in an attempt to provide warmth to her now shivering body
"Cr cr crimmany, it's freezing out here." Helga muttered as she picked up her pace and jogged the rest of the way to the school doors. Reaching for the door handle Helga let out a sigh of relive to fined it still unlocked.
She than quietly poked her head in making sure the janitor wasn't near by and gracefully let her self in. walking straight down the long hallway Helga couldn't help but shudder at the creepy sensation she felt when passing by the now completely empty halls of HS118. with a few quick strides Helga soon found her self in front of locker 206. Reaching into the back of her jean pocket she pulled out the slip of paper where she had previously scribbled down the necessary locker combination.
After a few twists to the lock it soon gave a satisfying 'Click' and opened, only to reveal a horrific jumble of papers, books, and binders.
Helga scowled "OH for crying out loud you'd think one of the smartest girls in school would at least have her damn locker organized."
With a low growled Helga than dived into the massive pile of school work in search for the needed homework assignment. With her head fully in the small cubical Helga was blinded and failed to notice the approaching figure that had slowly crept its way behind her
"Hey need some help there?"
"EEEP!" Helga yelped in pain as she smacked her head hard on the lockers roof
"OW! CRIMMANY! Dimmit football head, how many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on….
But soon as Helga fully turned around her voice hitched and her eye brows shot up in confusion.
"Sid?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Ignoring her question Sid quickly approached Helga's side and attempted to aid the now seething blonde. "Geez Helga are you ok? I didn't mean to frighten you like that" Sid replied reaching out to inspect her head
Still rubbing the sore spot on her head Helga glared at Sid in frustration and swatted his hands away "yea, yea, I'm fine, just peachy"
"ugh why are you here anyway?"
Stepping back Sid looked up at Helga and gave a sheepish smile, while rubbing the nape of his neck he almost seemed, nerves? "I uh, well I..I could ask you the same thing,"
Catching on to the nervousness Helga suddenly gave an amused smirk and swiftly crossed her arms over her chest seeming unfazed by the question. "Well touché hat boy, but I asked first, now spill"
Frowning at the use of his old child hood nick name Sid glared back at the fiery blonde in irritation," You do realize I stopped wearing that thing 5 years ago right?'
"crimmany like it maters, now stop stalling and answer my question."
"Alright, relax Helga I was just passing by that's all" Sid replied putting his hand up in defense
Slumping against the lockers Helga raised a curious brow "so you expect me to believe that the reason your in school right now at 8:00pm is because you were just "passing by"?" Helga replied using her fingers in air quotes
Sid frowned" Yea well I'm sure your excuse inset any better."
"Psht! I don't need an excuse; I'm here because apparently Phoebe got a little distracted "socializing" with a certain someone after school that she forgot to collect her AP physics homework" Helga's face than twisted into one of disgust as she almost gagged remembering how earlier that day she had accidentally caught her petit friend and her boyfriend of two years (Gerald), practically eating each others faces in what she assumed was a heated make out session. Shuddering she shook her head trying to erase any traumatizing sites that had now formed in her head.
Helga than looked back up at Sid and put a hand over her chest letting out a loud overly dramatic sigh "And naturally being the amazing friend that I am I decided to stop by and pick it up for her."
Shaking his head Sid couldn't help but chuckle at the girls actions and leaned back against the lockers facing her "haha OH NO, Helga being nice, now that's unheard of, I think the world is final coming to its end.
Playfully shoving the boy Helga laughed. Slowly looking back up at his face Helga Suddenly realizing how close they had gotten and immediately turned on her heel continuing her search for the impossible to fined homework assignment "ye-ea well you better believe it bucko."
Although Helga didn't necessarily have romantic feelings for Sid, she would be lying if she said she didn't find him somewhat attractive considering over the year Sid had grown into one of the schools hottest guys. And right now Helga was extremely glad she had the locker door blocking his view to her face or he would have noticed the small blush that had formed on her cheeks.
After a few moments of silence with the only noise coming from the quiet rustling in the locker, Sid decided to break the barrier and cleared his through "so um, are you going to Rhonda's Halloween party tomorrow?"
Suddenly the rustling stopped and Sid looked down to see Helga had visibly frozen. Quickly fearing he might have hit a nerve by asking, thinking maybe Rhonda hadn't invited her. Sid was about to open his mouth to apologize, when
"Fuck that's tomorrow!"
Quickly straightening up and pulling out what Sid assumed was the homework she'd been looking for, she than slammed the locker door with a little to much force than necessary causing Sid to jump slightly, turning around to face him she pinched the bridge of her nose and gave frustrated groan "yea Ill be there, not like I have a choice anyway."
Pushing past him she than stalked back down the hallway heading for the school exit. Sid quickly followed behind soon falling into step with her "what do you mean?"
Stopping in front of the school doors Helga turned to acknowledge Sid's question "what I mean, is princess came to me about two weeks ago practically begging me and bargaining me with $500 to perform at her stupid party. And now im forced spending the remainder of my Friday night with a bunch of hooligans who think getting extremely drunk to the point where they can't even remember the next day is some sort of fun.
Sid's face is one of confusion "well if you seriously hate going to her parties so much than why'd you agree?"
Helga scoffed "yea, like I'd really pass by $500 ."
Sid gave an understanding nod "good point, but don't worry you could always come and hang with me. I'm not really one to drink at a party anyway."
"You're going? Why would you possibly want to waste your time going to such a barbaric event?"
Sid gave a coy smile "I guess you could call me a hooligan."
Helga was shocked "wait, so you're actually going on your own free will?"
"Yea, well I guess Rhonda just has a really great way of persuading people when it comes to these sort of things."
Finally catching on Helga gave a wicked smirk "Ha! So you're the other sap Rhonda got to perform at her party tomorrow aren't you?
Sighing Sid dropped his head in defeat "unfortunately, yes."
Laughing Helga looked up at Sid in amusement "hmm.. I never really picture you the singing type."
"Well I guess that makes two of us" Sid replied crossing his arms
Helga was about to reply when she was abruptly cut of by the loud buzzing in her pocket suddenly remembering she was still in school she palmed her fore head finally remembering phoebe. Taking her phone out she looked up at Sid and motioned to the doors. "Well I better go, don't want phoebe getting an anxiety attack over late homework."
"haha right, well I guess Ill see you tomorrow than Blondie."
Helga groaned as she swung the door opened and proceeded walking down the steps. Once she reached the bottom Helga looked over at the almost vacant parking lot and realized her car stood alone, looking back up at the doors Helga quickly ran back up the steps and slowly opened the door. "Hey Sid do you need a ride?" She whispered
Stopping mid sentence Helga's voice hitched, he was gone!
"Weird" she tough "didn't even see him walk out." Suddenly a cool shiver ran up Helga's spine and she shuddered realizing it wasn't from the cold. Shaking her head Helga slowly baked away and headed straight for her car, thinking he must have gone back forgetting something.
