Well, sorry to those who have reviewed on taking so long to update. Been a little hectic, been working on other things, and just taking a little break…sort of. I've mostly been trying to edit this story a little more and see if I can't pick up the flow a little more… I think I still failed in doing so. So, to be nice, and not to bore you to death, you'll get Chapter 6 and 7. Things will start to slowly pick up then. Just hang in there!
Again, thanks to all who have replied!
Inferna: Hmm… is Arnette, his sister? Guess we'll have to find out!
Lightweight54: Thanks, I'm glad I'm making some people happy with my story. All in all, I'm not quite as happy with it as I originally thought. Maybe I just need more self-confidence? Anyway, yeah, Helga is defiantly portrayed in a new way. I wanted something new. Something different. And, well, all in all, I like trying to work with her this way (to some extent). Puts a new perspective on a popular character. After all, no one really knows what'll happen to her in the future. Well, you've foreseen a lot there. Are any of them right? We'll just have to sit back, and wait and see! Wow…I actually am working my grammar right? To be honest, I SUCK in grammar. Maybe the grammar check for MS Word (where I pre-type the story) is helping me out a bit? Ah yes, who is Arnette really? What does she really know about him? What is her relationship with him? Ooo…a mystery yet to be solved. And thanks for the little info on the emotions. I want people to be able to feel (to some extent) what some of the characters are feeling. At least I'm achieving that, and again, thanks for letting me know that.
Number6: Hey, sometimes more questions come up than answers! That's one thing you'll learn with me… there'll be a lot of questions. And the answers will develop slowly as the story progresses. Hey, it keeps people guessing. I love to see what people think will happen in the future. Whether they're right, or wrong. Yeah, poor Arnette. She fled from one battle…and ended up in another! As for Helga's actions… it's just who she's developed into. Chapter 7 ought to give a little more insite on this to some extent. Still, like Phoebe wonders, "If the cause of her actions isn't because of him. Then what is?" And you seem to be feeling close to what Phoebe is. It is rather sad and despicable to see Helga act like this. And don't worry. You'll learn a little about him later on…pretty soon in fact. (Just, not in chapters 6-7. Or 8)
Note: This chapter is a tad…well, boring. But, it does give a little info on future events that Lila and Rhonda are holding…
Disclaimer: If you want to see it a 6th time, go back to Chapter 1.
Chapter 6 "Party Talk and A Date Delay"
Rhonda and Lila were walking together to Rhonda's house with several cloths and what not they bought at the mall. These two have been friends since the 6th grade. Rhonda, no longer friends with the bug and nature obsessed Nadine, needed a new friend, and well, let the popular get the popular. (Meaning Rhonda, who is popular, getting a friend, Lila, who is also popular) And of course they had most of the boys drooling and falling over themselves for them. However, the sight of them made a few people sick to their stomachs. Helga, Phoebe, Gerald, Nadine, and Sheena to name a few. Anyway, Lila and Rhonda have been planning for weeks to get back at Helga. To humiliate her publicly and/or personally. Mostly for the way she's treated their friends. And because they just plain ol' hate her. Plus, who knows how much more popular they'll be if they "take down" the most ruthless bully in school.
"Well, I must say, we surely did score some fashionable dresses today haven't we?" Rhonda exclaimed excitedly
"Of course!" Her companion Lila said
"Ah, no school for 3 whole weeks! Now I can try a few new designs."
"Right."
"Something wrong? You seem distracted."
"No, no…it's just… well, I've been wanting to get back at Helga for everything she's done to us and our friends."
"I know! She's totally outta control and barbaric! The nerve of that girl…if she even is a girl."
Lila laughs to herself, "Yeah, watch, Helga is probably nothing but a she-male."
"If you ask me, Helga should be thrown into an insane-asylum and never let out!"
"But what can we do though? It's not like we can fight her."
"No, plus I don't want to break a nail or ruin one of my outfits."
"If only there was a way to take something that means so much to her,"
"Like what?! That girl is a walking black and pink disaster!"
"Hmm…there has to be something precious to her."
"Oh please, even if she did I doubt it'd be hardly worth destroying."
"There's something Rhonda. Well, I'll think about it later. Lets go, it's getting cold out here."
Over towards the Johansson side of town,
Gerald walks off towards Phoebe's house, smiling. He was hoping Phoebe would like to go somewhere with him today. He wouldn't care where, just as long as he's with her. Walking towards her house, Gerald was humming a song, completely oblivious to the world around him.
"Eugene! Look out!" Came the voice of Sheena.
"Wha…?" Gerald said out of his trance and turning towards the direction the voice came.
SMACK! Eugene crashes his bike right into and a light pole, and the bike spun around and the rear tire clipped Gerald in the chest.
"Ow! I'm…not ok…" came Eugene's voice.
"Oh dear, are you boys ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Whew…just got the wind knocked out of me though." Gerald said, not realizing his clothes were now rather dirty.
"Eugene, why weren't you watching where you were going?" Sheena yelled at him
"I was!" He yelled back
"No you weren't, you were too busy staring all goofy like at me." Sheena stated
"Sorry." Eugene blushed
"Guys don't worry about it. It could have been a lot worse you know" Gerald stated
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to try."
"Right, well, I'm kinda in a hurry, can I go now?" Gerald asked them
"Sure, sure…now as for you, I think we need to have a little talk." Sheena said to Eugene
"Am I in trouble?" Eugene asked
"I don't know, what do you think?"
"I'm in trouble…well, see ya Gerald!"
"Bye, and good luck." Gerald said smirking a little
Soon, Gerald arrived at Phoebe's house. Knocking on the door, he found that no one seemed to be home. And he still didn't realize that he was a mess.
"Phoebe? …she's not home. Hmm, well, she's probably at Helga's house, and I'm not going to go to Helga's house. No way! She'll kill me! Even if Phoebe is there, there's no way I'm going over there!" Suddenly it hit him. "Wait… Oh man! Eugene messed me up when crashed into me! Grahhahah." Obviously, getting cleaned up earlier for nothing frustrated him. Gerald decides he'll go home, clean up, and call Phoebe's cell phone. "Urgh... I just don't like that girl. Helga is just pure evil." He said to himself. Lucky for him, Helga wasn't nearby...
"Hey Lila. You think I should throw a party next week end?" asked Rhonda
"Ooo! I love parties!"
"Yeah, anyway, we need a theme. A style. You know?"
"Hmm, you're on your own for that one."
"Well, we also need to make a list of people to invite."
"Hold on! Why don't we have a Christmas Costume Party!?"
"Hmm, that's an idea! Maybe for a Christmas Eve party a few days after!"
"Yeah! And we'll invite everyone!"
"No! Not everyone!" Rhonda shouted
"Oh, right, Helga."
"She'll make the party a disaster, or even worse!"
"Tell me about it."
"Ooo…let's…oh, so much planning to do!" Rhonda complained
"Yeah, two parties! This'll be so much fun!" Lila squealed.
(Hmm…interesting. Wonder how the party is going to go? Still much preparation is needed for it though.)
Things should start to pick up… just hang in there…
Chapter 7 "Dreams of the Fallen and Misbeguided" is up next! Till then!
King RTS-I'm the King of My World!
