A/N: Chapter 5 already? o0 Wow... well... I must thank all the reviewers again. ; You guys are the greatest. Anyhow, here's chapter 5- Can't Believe It.
The next day at school, I was so caught up in Helga and Arnold that I didn't even concentrate on my schoolwork. They were meant to be together, but somehow couldn't. I sighed and looked back at Sari, seeing that evil grin on her pale face. Dumb girl...
"Ashlyn, are you okay?" I heard a voice say. It was Arnold.
"Yeah, I'm fine." My eyes twitched. "Why do you care to know?"
"Because you've been staring at either me or Helga all day long. Ashlyn, listen to me. Helga and I will NEVER be a couple no matter what anyone thinks. Your dream, although I don't see WHY this is your dream, will always remain just a dream." (A/N: Sailor Moon quote there!)
"Then what was that hug all about yesterday?"
"Just because we're friends doesn't mean I like her that way!"
"Whatever, Arnold. Just... whatever." I couldn't take the stress anymore, so I took off onto the playground and looked at Helga once more. Why was she always sitting in that same area? And... most importantly, why was she talking to... SARI?! She couldn't just be "talking." That's insane.
I overheard parts of the convo, though. Stuff like, "You better hide." Or, "You only live once, and this is your last chance to live long!" What was this girl anyway? A murderer?
Sari turned around to look at me when she heard me mumble something under my breath. "Can I help you?" She inquired. "Oh, I must say that Helga and Arnold are history. Right, Helga?"
I could tell something was going on. I could just sense it. Helga shook her head no with an angry expression on her face. Uh-oh, NOT a smooth move.
"You listen to me, Helga! Either you forget that Football headed kid, or you are dead!"
I couldn't take it. The nerves were rushing through my body as if someone was threatening ME and not HER. I burst into the conversation now, and I didn't care what Sari did or said to me.
"Listen here, Sari. If you lay a finger on her, you'll be in major trouble by the police. Which I'm SURE happened 10 times already!"
Sari just stared at me in disbelief. "Ashlyn, Ashlyn, Ashlyn. Helga's giving up! So she can live!"
"I am NOT." Helga grumbled, with a little bit of fear and anger in her voice.
"Fine then," Sari said, and got off the bench. "But you'll be sorry you didn't. He'll never love you Helga and... (A/N: get ready for the same Sailor Moon quote..) your dream will always remain just a dream!" And with that, she took off, over to the monkey bars, where she was probably thinking of yet another evil plan.
What did Sari plan on doing now? And how did I know she was going to do another crazy thing? Thing is... I could just sense it. Sari always had that evil smile on her face, and always seemed to glance around the room, looking for a new victim, probably. Even if she didn't harm Helga like she said she would, the next person was probably me or Arnold.
Dumb brunette. I couldn't stand that girl. I really wanted to call the cops on her, but I couldn't. I was too weak and too negitive to even try. Because I knew Sari would get me back.
But why was I not helping my best friends? I needed to, but couldn't. But, if I didn't, I could just be risking the lives of the two nicest people I know....
Helga and Arnold...
A/N: wOOt! Finally that's done! Well, anyway, I know it may be a little confusing because I didn't explain a lot of things, but don't worry, they will all be explained at the end, the good part. In chapter six, you'll find out if Ashlyn decides to protect her two best friends, or if she just can't. And... the moment you've been waiting for... you'll find out if a certain someone gets to live... DUN DUN DUN! o.0;;;
