*~Can't Take It Anymore*~

The sound of the wind blowing against the trees in the middle of the night, slightly pushing against Helga's window, she wakes up to the sound. She goes to her closet and looks at the shrine she made that looks like Arnold.

"When I look at you my darling, can it ever be this? Until the day I see you, expecting one kiss. As I look into your eyes we are all quite above, with you and me sharing our own everlasting love. The night is bright, but the trees are cold, seeing you makes me shiver, looking at the snow in the cold, cold winter."

As she rests back in her bed, she dreams about her and Arnold being together. That's all she ever wanted. She knew her high school career will be with Arnold, and after they graduate, she will marry him. But dreams like this never goes the right way, until the day she starts her freshman year of high school.

The next morning, Helga became quite excited. She wanted to be with Arnold, and make more friends and be old enough to have the teenage-girl type of responsibility. She quickly takes a shower, scubbing her body from head to toe, the soap called caress. Then, she rinses and watches her hair as many times as she needs. Quickly after the shower, she goes back to her room and gets on her pink mini skirt and a white blouse. As she faces her own bedroom mirror, she puts all of hair up in a ponytail, and then smiles.

"Well, Helga. Today is the day, the day I begin high school." She whispered to herself.

She walks down the stairs. With her bag wrapped around her shoulders, and her purse in her hands. She smiles at her parents. Bob looks at her for a quick second and focus back to his computer.

"Don't be out too late, Olga."

Helga hated to be called Olga very much. Her father has called her that ever since she met Arnold at preschool. As frustrated as she was, she walked out of the door without saying goodbye. She breathes faster and faster as she reaches the high school. Then, she walks around the school grounds until the bell rings. As she finds her locker, she puts all of her things except her books that she needs for the first class.

Nervously, she enters the classroom. Everyone looks at her strangely, and soon begins to snicker towards her, she felt very hurt. As she takes her seat and waits for the teacher, she notices some of her classmates throwing paper at her, and she really didn't want to snap.

"Are you gonna cry, Barbie?" One of the girls said, behind her.

Helga had enough. She never wanted to be a mean person like she was a long time ago. Arnold has taught her to be nice in her own way without picking a fight that messes with her. She had no choice. She still heard the class laughing at her. As she turns around facing the class with her eyes turn as slits, she yells with the energy she has.

"That's enough, geek baits! You you start to laugh at me again or mess with me in any way, you all would have to answer with Old Betsy!" Helga roared, as she looks at the person who calls her Barbie. She gets madder because she is still laughing.

"Still laughing, aren't you?" Helga grabs the girl by the collar, with her mean angry eyes, looking the girl straight in the eyes. The girl begins to shiver. Helga speaks out another word, "Barbie?"

Helga shoves her back in the seat. Soon an unexpected classmate enters the room. It's Arnold. Helga was shocked she saw him and was happy that they have a class together.

"Arnold?" Helga asked.

Arnold turns around and gives Helga a smile.

"How are you doing, Helga?"

"I'm doing good, until the stupid class starts to laugh at me." Helga looks at the girl who called her Barbie, "And calling me Barbie."

The girl gulps. Helga looks back at Arnold who is in front of her. Then, the late bell rings and the teacher came in. He looks at the class seriously, and tells them to open their books for a review they had last year in 8th grade.
