Chapter3: the broken heart of a friend

An: I'm nominated!!! *does dance* I don't deserve to win there are a lot of better writers out there that deserve it more than I should. I want to thank who ever nominated me and the best of luck to my competitors, (cuz I know they'll win) But just being nominated is enough. Now on with the story!!

As Phoebe boarded the bus she notices that the seat that she and Helga usually sit was empty. Phoebe shrugged her small shoulders 'she's probably at home mopping or just mad at her parents for forgetting her birthday.' Phoebe thought but boy was she wrong. Phoebe spotted Arnold at the back he had rings around his eyes and seemed very depressed. "Hey Arnold have you seen Helga?" Phoebe asked and sits next to him. He looked up and his eyes begin to water, but before he could answer her question the bus arrives to the school. "Well gotta go see ya!" She was excited, tonight was her graduation, 'Helga would probably show up then' she thought. As she entered the high school, she quickly walked to her locker and pulled out her morning class books into her toke bag.

She entered her homeroom class and quickly began to work until the morning announcements came on. "Good Morning, Today is June 5, 2006 the last day of school, please stand for the pledge to the flag." The principal's voice boomed. Phoebe and the rest of her classmates stood up and placed their right hand on their heart. "I Pledge allegiance to the flag of the Untied States of America and to the republic of it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all." The class recited. "You may be seated, today was supposed to be a happy day celebrating the end of another wonderful school, but yesterday on June 4, 2006 a student died." Phoebe's head rose up as she looks to the intercom. "This student was.. Helga.. Geraldine.. Pataiki."

Tears streamed down Phoebe's face as she raced to the bathroom. A sob escaped as she ran into the stall and threw up the contains in her stomach, her body shivered as she pressed her back against the wall and slide to the ground burying her face in her hands. 'Why, Helga why did you do it? Didn't you know I would miss you to much' Phoebe asked to no one "WHY!!!" She screamed loudly.

As Phoebe stood on stage with Gerald and Arnold by her side she breathed in slowly, everyone was watching her, not only her but, them. She turned towards the picture of Helga she was smiling sweetly; she was leaning on her elbow and holding her hands to her face. Her blue eyes shined brightly. "And now I give you the class of 2006!!!" As everyone else cheered and jumped Phoebe stood still. She looked to the door and saw a girl, and blonde headed girl. She looked some what like Helga, but this girl looked different, the way she carried herself, she didn't have that 'glow' like Helga did. Phoebe continued to stare and the girl stared back, as if to challenge her. Then the girl smiled slightly, flashing her pearly whites making her blue eyes to light up. 'Just like Helga's' Phoebe thought. Then the girl turned towards the door, only leaving a flash of blonde hair. Phoebe smiled when she heard Arnold gasp, Helga was still alive after all, or so she thought. She couldn't give up hope she just couldn't.
