Author's Note: Okay, this is
the 2nd chapter and I'm kinda burdened with all the work I have to
do, so if this sucks, well, sorry, I'm kinda not in the mood to write. Also,
sorry if I took so long to put this up because I have another story which
people are also waiting to read. (he, he)
Phoebe's Diary 2: by Anne O. Nimus
"Hello class!" Mr. Simmons
says his usual greeting to the class.
"Oh great, here's another
lousy day at school." Helga says sarcastically.
"Cheer up Helga, school's
not that bad." Arnold tells her.
"Shut up Football head! I
wasn't asking for your comforting words!"
"Sorry, I was just trying to
cheer you up."
"Whatever Arnold." In her
mind she was thinking, "Oh Arnold, my love! Always sweet and understanding,
and loving and…"
"Helga!" Mr. Simmons called.
"Wha?"
"Helga, please try to listen
to the lesson."
"Okay."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The bell rings for recess.
"So Phoebe, did you write
anything on your diary yet?" Helga asks.
"Yes Helga I did. I wrote
that I was happy to have the diary. Also, I wrote that I would not be writing
on a daily basis."
"Really? Why Pheebs?"
"I just don't know what to
write."
"Well, why don't you write about…
your thoughts? That's what a diary's supposed to contain anyway. Keep it
personal! Just be careful. Keep it in a place where it is not easy to find. You
won't want people to know your deep dark secrets right?"
"Okay Helga! Thanks for your
advice!" Phoebe said happily.
"Oh, that was nothing
Phoebe. Besides, what are friends for?"
Phoebe gave her a smile.
The bell rings and off to
the classroom they go.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Crash! Gerald tumbles over Phoebe. "Oh, sorry Phoebe, I
didn't see you." He stands up and puts out his right hand.
Phoebe looks at it for a
second and then takes it. "It's okay Gerald."
"Are you all right?"
"Yes I'm fine, thank you."
"Well, I better go now.
Arnold's waiting for me."
"Okay. Bye!"
"Bye Pheebs! See you
tomorrow!" Then Gerald runs off.
"Hey Pheebs! What did
Geraldo over there do to you?" Helga asks as she approached her best friend.
They started walking towards
the bus. "Nothing Helga."
"Are you sure?"
"He bumped in to me that's
all."
"He did? Criminey! What is
this? Those two are going blind!"
They entered the bus. Helga
spots Gerald and goes near him.
"Look Geraldo, do that again
to Phoebe, and your dead meat!" She said.
Gerald swallowed hard. Helga
went back to her seat beside Phoebe.
"It's okay Gerald don't mind
her." Arnold tells him.
"Yeah Arnold it's going to
be okay if I become a dead kid walking!"

She got her pen and her
diary. She opens it and starts writing:
April 24, 2001
8:00 pm
Dear Diary,
What should I say? I guess Helga's
advice helps a lot. I may be writing on a daily basis now. I changed my mind.
Now what deep dark secret do I keep? Let me think for a while. Something that
Helga doesn't know I guess. Does it look like there's anything Helga doesn't
know about me? I think she knows everything and anything about me!
Let's change topic. Today was just a
normal school day. Helga bullies Arnold, Arnold doesn't do anything, Stinky
eats his favorite 'Mr. Nutty Candy Bar', Harold, eats a lot, Eugene sprains his
wrist… oh, the list goes on and on. But, one unusual event that happened today
was at dismissal. I was standing near the door, waiting for Helga, when
suddenly Gerald bumps into me! He apologized for what he did anyway, and I
forgave him easily. Then he asks if I'm okay, and I said yes. Then he said he
has to go and runs off. When Helga came, she asked me what happened. I told her
what happened and when we boarded the bus, she went to Gerald and Arnold's seat
and told Gerald something. I guess it was about being more careful next time. I
guess, that's one thing I like about Helga. She defends you when someone hurts
you. She's a friend you can depend on. But I wish that I hadn't told her that
Gerald bumped me. That was the unusual event. I felt really bad for
Gerald. I felt so guilty! I don't even know why. I can't just stand up to Helga
and tell her not to threaten Gerald. I'm not like that! Now, I don't even
understand myself anymore!
I guess that's one thing Helga doesn't
know. When she says something mean to Gerald, I don't know why, but there's
this guilt that goes all over my body. And that happens only when she says
something mean to Gerald. Why? I don't know. What so you think Diary? I just
hope you can answer all my questions. Well, that's about it! I have to go to
bed now. Thank you for listening to me!
Phoebe
