Helga Pataki, now a young adult, started sharing her latest story with her friends. Arnold was one of them.
"Helga, is there anything you want to share with us?" Phoebe asked.
Today Helga wore a big smile on her face.
"You bet I do. It's good news, too."
"Tell us, Helga."
That was Stinky who said that. They were now in their late teens.
"The news is that I got accepted to work with a publishing company. They are looking at one of my books right now."
"Is it a book with all of your poetry?"
"Not this time. I'm still working on editing them, so I'm in no hurry to send it off."
"What's the name of this publishing house?" Arnold asked.
"Harlequin," Helga answered.
It was one of Helga's favorites since she liked to read romance novels every now and then. Her book that is read by the publisher is a romance she wrote not too long ago. Helga likes to write poetry when she's not writing romances.
"What's the title, Helga?" Gerald asked.
Helga told them.
"You'll do fine, Helga. Maybe you'll be on the New York Bestseller list."
"Thanks for sharing your support and faith, football head."
It's true what Arnold just said. When Helga hears something like this, she takes it as a compliment.
"You're welcome, Helga."
When she receives her copy in the mail, Bob would be happy she had accomplished something. Helga happens to be the only Pataki in her family to see her name on a book.
Helga has been writing for a long time now and once again, God opened another door for her to let this sort of thing happen during her teen years. She thanked Him for making this happen.
"Does your father know about this?"
"Not yet, Rhonda. I'll let him be surprised. I asked a copy of this book to give him a hint on what I have been doing recently."
"Good idea, Helga. Big Bob would be surprised to see how hard you worked on something like this."
"That's for sure, football head. I think I have an idea on what he would think when he sees this book."
"What?" Gerald asked.
"He might want to celebrate on what I have accomplished and would ask questions about it."
"It looks that way to me. He was always happy when Olga accomplishes things."
"don't remind me of Olga's rewards she received in the past, tall hair boy. It would give Big Bob a smile. I can tell you that."
Her friends nodded in agreement. That's when school ended for the day.
