Helen went onto her computer a few hours later and typed in her xanga journal for Saturday.

SATURDAY

Ok guys It's been like a week of school and yah know what? I hate Mrs. Lavery! She doesn't even look at you! She stares at one point on the wall in one little spot and never takes her eyes off of that spot. But my weekend has been going pretty well.

Seamus O' Grady came over last night! :O I know what u r thinking! Total murder suicide! But hey he is acting much nicer lol. He is actually I think maybe my friend now. Derek is supposed to come over sometime tonight to just hang out but he isn't frickin here yet! So since he isn't I called Alexis to sleep ova my house. She is over here right now. Say hi!

Hey all you guys! Shout-outs to all my friends and a big "kisseroo" as Helen says, to John. Ok here's Helen again.

Ok so I went to this super cool pool party for my little cousin today and we had a pinata! I know it seems immature but I love whacking the shit outta that thing! Hold up a minute my Foster mom is bugging me plus I gotta take a shower!

few minutes pass

Ok so I am back now and on the phone with Natasha. She just mooed for some odd reason and now we are talking about potty training a kitty. Ok yeah weird talk. Now she's gotta go.

Yeah I'm gonna go now and get my sleep on. Buh-byes.

They got their sleep on and woke up groggy the next morning. It was Sunday but at like 2 in the afternoon. Oh my god Alexis! We have a football game to cheer at and we have to be there an hour early! We have 1 hour to eat and take showers put on make-up and get ready! Ok lets go.

Alexis puts in their cassette tape. ::I am the body beautiful plays::

They take turns cleaning up and taking showers. They put their make-up on and they put their hair up in high ponytails. Helen put Ribbons into her hair and helped curl Alexis' ribbons. They got into their uniforms and went to the stadium.

Helen was a flyer because she was pretty light and she wasn't afraid to get thrown up in the air. Now Helen wasn't really the cheerleading type but Natasha begged her to join the squad and so Helen dragged Alexis into it too. It was pretty fun.

All you could hear were the sideline cheers and the football players getting tackled. Tim for half-time. They had a minute to prepare. ::Eye of the tiger played:: and the cheerleaders went onto the field in a cool routine way. They were in their formations and then started the cheer.

"Hey crowd, get up." "Get on your feet." ::clap, clap:: "We'll yell it out and then you repeat." "Yell, Go, Fight, Win!" "Go, Fight, Win!" 1-2-3-4 "Hey fans in the stands yell lets go crusaders, lets go crusaders." "C'mon you know what to do, yell beat those bears, beat those bears!"

"Yeah!" "Lets hear it!" "C'mon team!"

Helen got home at around 6 and made herself dinner and rolled into bed. She had to wake up wicked early in the morning to get to school.

Beep Beep! The sound of her alarm clock filled the room. It kept going off then she finally turned it off. She slammed her hand onto it.

She got up and rubbed her eyes not looking at the clock. She got ready doing her normal routine then right when she was about to leave the house she looked at the clock. "9:00!!!" "Oh my god!" "Shit, shit , SHIT!" "I'm so late!"

She ran out of the house. She was so panicked she started to talk to herself. "My alarm must've been going off for hours on end." She got to school a half-hour later. She was panting from her long walk. "9:30." "I strike 31."

The clock seemed to move in slow motion to her. Finally that final tick of the clock echoed in her ears and she was off.

::Mission Impossible plays::

She sneaks between lockers and ducks under the windows of the doors. She walks cautiously down the hallway dodging the windows on her way to the commons room.

Teachers everywhere! This was bad. There were a lot of teachers in the commons room and she had to find a way through. She ran into a corner and hid breathing quietly but heavily. The teachers passed one by one and she found her chance to make a break for it. /Ok on the count of three run, 1----2-----3!/ She made a break for it and ran to the next hallway.

But....Oh....what's this? A teacher heard footsteps and saw the form of a student running through the commons room. "Hey you, come back here!" /Oh shit! Run Helen RUN!!!/ She ran and thought for a sec. /Ok 1st floor bathrooms I'll hide there./

She ran up the stairs and made a break for the bathrooms. She burst in and luckily nobody else was in there. She took her cheerleading sneakers out of her bag and put them on her feet and left her boots in the stall 2 away from her and then just squatted in the one she was in to pretend she was an innocent freshman.

The teacher came in investigating. /C'mon bell ring!/ She looked to see if there was anyone in there. She noticed the 2 stalls being used and left. "15 more minutes?" She got out of the stall and put her boots back on and left the bathroom. She walked onto the second floor and went to her locker.

Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She froze in fear. /oh my god it's a teacher, I'm dead!/ She screamed and got turned around and got slammed into her locker and noticed who it was.

"Derek, what are you doing here?!" She whispered to him.

"Getting out of that English test, which I can see that you are also trying to get out of yourself."

"No I woke up late and I ran away from a teacher and well I'll tell you the rest later." "Lets get out of here!"

She grabbed him and dragged him somewhere on the other side of the school. The bell rang for lunch. "Thank god."

They ate lunch and then went to Algebra. Mrs. Lavery was boring as usual, blah! Everyone hates her.

Helen was wide awake after that wild chase. "Whoa, we're half way there. Whoa livin' on a prayer." She was silently singing to herself.

She got pounded with homework that night and had cheerleading practice longer and had a big science test the next day.

She sat in her chair puzzled. "Argh!" "I hate Algebra!" "The teacher doesn't explain for crap!"

She started erasing and erasing math work on her paper. Her paper was so messy then she went to go get her math books put away and kinda dozed off when she sat down on her bed to put it into her backpack.
