(I am living up to the cruelty (hee hee..) No Arnold in this chapter not
even to see how she looks.)

Helga stared at the mirror, she stood in front of the gleaming mirror, her hair that was always up she pulled out the bow that held her hair in the ponytail. Her came tumbling down as she reached for her mothers heated hair curler, slowly she began to wrap a handful of hair as she twisted the curler making it more light and more attractive.

When she was done with her golden hair, she barely recognized herself, her once straight, long hair was now lightly cured three inches at the bottom, and it totally changed the frame of her face and looks. She glanced at the drawer that held some untouched make-up, lifting an eyebrow she pulled out a couple of dusty lipsticks.

She lightly spread the soft pink along her now smooth lips, she pursed her lips, and saw that her lips looked thinner but plump. She dared her self to reach for the blush and dabbed her cheeks with the soft cloth shutting her eyes when she went around her eyes.

Done she added some barely visible eye shadow, soft black eye liner, and put very little powder on as she stared back at the stranger in the mirror who stood in front of her. She could barely recognize herself it was although she changed into another one's body, she had to admit she did like the she looked. Her robe that fit tightly around her was removed as she picked a knee-high skirt, with a nicely fitting t-shirt.

It was five in the noon when she finally finished, she could have been mistaken for a new person that just moved in, she left her weight to one leg to the other but she couldn't help but be sad. Having to change your whole personality to be loved was not right.

Helga woke up for a start with her brain full and in pain. She moaned sitting up as she rubbed her head yawning, she stood up sighing she got up and headed for the bathroom, ready to change her whole look.

Helga walked out of her room wearing black jeans, a long sleeved shirt that clung to her as if she had just been dipped in water. Her sneakers that were white fit nicely on her foot, she stepped into the kitchen to find her parents at the table, and big bob was reading the newspaper mumbling something about the stock market.

Her mom on the other hand, eyes brightened as she saw her younger daughter with light make-up on and a nice clothes. At least she recognized her Helga sighed, putting on a struggled smile. She grabbed a green apple (A/N: Can you tell that I like green apples? Yummy ^-^!!).

Helga strode toward the bus stop where she met up with Phoebe who at first did not recognize her. "Helga?" she asked cautiously, Helga smiled, Phoebe, was in shock, her mouth dropped. "Gerald!!" Phoebe beckoned Gerald sauntered over, he was wearing loose jeans with a loose t-shirt that had a friendly alien waving.

He studied her for a moment then he realized it was her, "Oh Helga, you look nice!!" he gave her a thumbs up as she returned a smile, he went back to talking back with Iggy. Helga still did not see any sign of Arnold who would usually be here.

In a matter of minutes the bus had arrived a everyone filed into a uneven line as the started into the bus Helga a bit disappointed, she was indeed sad but she would try not to let it get in front of her so far good day.

Helga sat in a overstuffed seat where Phoebe sat next to her in the window, as they chatted rapidly on what they had to do for homework, Helga had finally admitted she didn't want to do her math but promised Phoebe that she would complete it during a free period.

The bus had stopped; Phoebe tapped on Helga's shoulder to report to her that the bus had come to a reassuring stop. Helga hopped off as she jogged toward the brick building rushing toward her locker where she was met up with Rhonda who was wearing black as usual and an unpleasant sneer with an evil glint her dark brown eyes.

"So.. How are you and Arnold doing together?" She seemed to have not noticed Helga's new look. Helga ignored her continuing with her locker swung open, Helga purposely slammed the metal door onto Rhonda's nose, Rhonda, gasped holding her bleeding nose as she ran.

Helga picked up her supplies as she ambled toward her class sighing, entering into the classroom. She sat down at her wooden desk, placing her books neatly on top, folding her hands together the teacher made a slow role call, Helga's name came last but still she got one of the most unusual reactions.

"Pataki, Helga?" She muttered a 'here' as the teacher dropped her clipboard that clattered to the tile floor. Knowing that she was usually wearing a loose t-shirt, and loose jeans, she was a quite surprised to see her in a skirt. She gave Helga a small warm smile and announced the schedule for today.

School was going very well so far, she had so many gasped expressions, more welcoming smiles, and by the end of the day, she had gained another friend; Nadine. School was over time to go home, but one of the teachers pulled her away from the bus wanting to give her something.

"Helga, Arnold is sick, his Grandpa called this morning to let me know. Anyway, I would like you to give him his homework." He handed her a thick white packet full worksheets, she nodded, not knowing weather she would be happy or afraid to seem him. She decided she would put it in his mailbox. After all the reactions of the others, she did not know how he would react.

She smiled as he complimented on how she was dressed, she walked out happy and sad at the same time. The bus had just arrived when she exited the building, she stepped on setting herself down, as she held the packet of papers close to her chest as she began to imagine what he would say if he saw her.

Helga had forgotten how she got off the bus and walked to Arnold's Apartment. She stood face to face with the door, the mailbox was held up a small nail she slipped the package inside hopping of the stairs she strode off to her apartment.

She stepped inside her apartment, sighing as she skipped up stairs she entered the long hallway to see her sister in tears, she was clutching a note with a soaked hanky, when Helga came toward her Olga wrapped her arms around Helga hugging her as if for dear life.
