Chapter Two: Helga wants to change

Before Helga started her second day of school early that morning, she decided she wanted to change the way she looked. She felt very unpopular and also felt like she had no friends what so ever. As she digs through her box of clothes, she found her tight black nilon paints. Then, she went into her closet and found a white top. As she puts on her new style of clothing, she sees her hoops in the jewelry box. She puts the hoops in both ears. Then, she finds a black hair tie, and throws her hair up in a ponytail. She grabs her bag and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Woah, you look different dear. Why aren't you wearing your pink like you always do?" Mariam said.

"No mom, not this time. Black is my color now. Well I got to go. Tootles."

Miriam was still surprised seeing Helga dresses that way. Meanwhile, she slowly walks the sidewalks until she reaches the high school. As she goes to her first period classroom, the girls are noticing the dramatic change on Helga. The girls knew that they would never mess with Helga, because if they did, they would all have to answer to her.

Just then, Arnold came into the classroom and didn't notice that Helga was behind him. As she calls his name he is surprised to her new look.

"Helga? Wow, I never even noticed you wearing the black."

"It's a new style for me football head."

Soon, the teacher comes in and does the lesson plan as he was doing the day before. Helga & everyone else was quite board of it. Just then, the second bell rang and it was time to go to the next class. As Helga was rushing down the hallway, she bumped into a girl just Helga's age.

"Sorry, want me to help you pick up the mess?" The girl said.

"No, that's okay. I got it."

"The name is Alicia if you wanted to know my name. What's yours?"

"Helga."

"Nice meeting you Helga. Well, I better be on my way. See you later."

The two girls wave goodbye to each other. Helga was glad that she made a friend. I guess her new style gave her some luck. As she stands against her locker, she thinks about her other friends and misses them. Especially Phoebe, Arnold.went to the same school as her because he couldn't afford to get into the special schools like all his other friends did.
