HI PEOPLE! Remember me? You know, People of the Past? God, that title sucks. But that's okay! This is a little back story on Bob and Helen, including high school, super-school, and sneaking out on to the beach to, uh, you know, yeah. Wait, no, they don't do that. Never mind. Sorry for freaking you out.
Helen and Stacie were racing over to the bulletin board. God, they should've never worn heels.
They finally got there, looking at the top of the list of the cast for "The Sound of Music".
"OMIGOD I'M MARIA!"
"Good job, Helen! What am I?"
Helen studied the list for a bit. "You are Mother Abbess."
"Cool. I get to be your mom. Who's the captain? If it's John, then I am so jealous."
The sisters looked at the name next to the role. No, it can't be. This was even worse than David being it.
"BOB?"
The sisters knew Bob very well. In middle school at gym, he declared WWIII and tackled Helen. And since Bob had that, uh, special ability, it really hurt Helen. Her shoulder was aching for days. Of course, his advantage was unknown and still unknown.
Oh, why do coincidences happen? Bob walked by to look at the paper. Once he saw who was standing right next to him, he turned to her. "Uh, congrats on getting the part," said Bob, really not sounding too convincing.
"Bob," said Helen. "You know I am never going to forgive you for what happened in 7th grade. I haven't looked into your face since, and we're in 12th grade."
"I only tackled you because I thought you were hott. And you still are. But I didn't know the attitude was so sour."
That was a pure dis. Helen had never been burned like that before. She just stared at him. Then she finally came up with a good comeback. "You are even sadder then before. You still think I'm hott. Have fun thinking about me, Captain."
"And," said Stacie. "You practically misplaced her shoulder. What makes you think she'll forgive you so soon? You're like a dumber Superman."
When nobody was around, Bob finally muttered to himself "Yeah, I'm something like Superman."
----------
Helen and Stacie stayed in their room the whole day highlighting lines for the play. Helen's took more time, but she was faster at highlighting than Stacie would ever be. Unlike some sisters, Helen and Stacie were best friends ever since they shared a room. The girls were practically each other, only way different.
"Helen, you wanna rehearse?"
"Yeah, sure."
Stacie moved over to Helen's bed.
"Okay, let's start at the part where... Where should we start?"
"Just choose a random page."
"Okay, page six. You're right. It's that kind of song."
"Mother, where did you learn that song?"
"I was raised in the mountains myself. Maria, despite what you saw over the Abbey wall, you weren't prepared for the way we live, were you?"
"No, mother. But I pray and I try."
"It seems to be the will of god that you leave us."
Helen started to sound sarcastic and dull on purpose. "Leave? Leave here? Oh mother, please, no."
"HELEN! Shut up!"
"Hey, I think it's funny."
"It is funny!"
"Then why aren't you laughing?"
"Oh, it's the plastic surgery. I can't laugh for two more hours."
"Pla, pl, plo, plastic surgery?"
"I'm just kidding. So, what do think of Bob playing the captain?"
"Uh, he's still a jerk."
"Well, at least he's a hott jerk."
"Oh my god, shut up."
"What? It's true. David told me that if there is a main couple in the play; the main couple will become a real couple. And the main couple at the moment is you and Bob."
"I don't wanna be his girlfriend. I think David's lying."
"I do, too. But if it does happen, I will forever trust him."
"Might as well just call him a big liar now."
"Lay off the crap, Helen. This isn't serious. We aren't talking about you loosing your virginity him."
"Oh, god I'm gonna get sick." Helen ran to the toilet.
Stacie watched her sister close the door. "Yeah, me too."
Huh? Huh? What do think? I just needed to put this out because I swore that I wouldn't post a new chapter in People of the Past until I go 5 reviews, and I really wanted to post a new chapter, so I guess I'm just doing a whole new story? Pretty sweet, eh? Now please, give a review that way I don't have to do the five review thing for this one. Romance between Bob and Helen won't really click until chapter two. Well, it's between them technologyly. That is so not a word.
