Helga opened the door to her government class. She realized that she was a little too early for class. The class was very quiet and empty. Well almost empty. There were two students in the back corner trading pokemon cards; well at least they looked like pokemon cards to Helga. One guy had pitch-black hair and was wearing glasses while the other had light blonde hair. They didn't seem to notice her, but it wasn't a new thing for her since she was already used to being unnoticed. She took a seat in an empty desk in the middle row and took out a notebook and a pencil. Where is the stupid teacher, she thought to herself. Even the teacher has somewhere to be right now..

After ten minutes the teacher entered, along with a few other students. The teacher's name was Mr. Hodgkins. He was pulling a metal cart filled with piles of books that said government.

"Well, looks like we still have to wait for a few more students before we can begin class." Mr. Hodgkins said, as he looked around the classroom.

After eight minutes, more students entered. Helga was thinking about whether her and Phoebe would still have class together this year, but her thoughts were interrupted after Lila Sawyer pushed open the door and entered the classroom. Her hair flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Where the hell did the wind come from, Helga questioned. She gracefully walked over to an empty desk that was two rows away from Helga's and took a seat.

Oh myy gawwdd, Lilaa! You have gov A period too?" Stila shrilled. Stila was one of Lila's close friends and she was also very flirtatious. She had long, wavy dark brown hair with gold highlights that pretty much covered her back. Her thick, dark brows framed her bright hazel eyes that were slanted a bit downward which sort of made her look like a puppy. Her features were both sharp and soft at the same time. She also had deep dimples, which made her look adorable.

"Lilaaa! Oh my god! This is great..you, me and Stila are all together in the same class!" Haley let out a little girly squeal after her comment. Haley was also one of Lila's close friends and she was quite pretty too, except she was a huge slut. Haley had pin straight blonde hair and small green eyes. Her eyelashes were clumped together with mascara but for some reason, she seemed to pull it off. Haley was cute and petite. She basically worshipped Lila.

"Oh this is ever so great..this is year is going to be the effin best!" Lila was loosening up her curls with her fingers while she was conversing with her friends. Lila wasn't exactly mean but she definitely had a more aggressive, manipulative side to her.

Oh great, I have little Ms. Perfect in this class along with her stupid posse, Helga thought to herself. Thankfully, government was only a semester class, which meant Helga would only have to deal with these idiots for 3 and half more months which was going to seem like forever.

After everyone was organized and seated, Mr. Hodgkins went up to the front of the room. He had a stack of yellow flashcards in his hands. He cleared his throat and said, "Good morning seniors! Welcome to your government class..before we get started I would like you all to pick up a book from the cart and grab a yellow flashcard..on the flashcard, I want you to write your name, the issued date of the book, your book number, and the condition that it's in. I will come around shortly to collect your cards." With that he went over to the back of the room to his desk.

Helga went up to the front and grabbed a book and a flashcard and went back to her seat. She wrote her name, the date, and her book number which was 25, and since the book was in pretty good condition, she wrote new. While she was waiting for her teacher to come around, she opened the book and scanned through the pages to see what she would be learning this semester. I so don't want to be here, she thought to herself.

Someone was knocking on the door, so Mr. Hodgkins went up to open it.

Mr. Hodgkins was standing in the doorway talking to someone. Helga recognized the voice..it was principle Wartz's. Principle Wartz had transferred to Hillwood High during Helga's junior year. She heard Mr. Hodgkins saying, "oh that's great..no problem..he will do just fine.." Who is he talking about, Helga thought.

She decided to ignore the whole thing and continue looking through the book, until she heard Mr. Hodgkins shut the door and say, "Class we have a new student.." All eyes fluttered towards the front of the room. Standing next to him was a tall, lean male that had a natural looking, mischievous smile on his face and a great posture. He had dark brown tousled hair and a fair complexion. His angular face was symmetrical with high cheekbones and a strong jaw. Helga thought that he looked like some sort of French supermodel. "Class this is Keith.." Mr. Hodgkins continued. "He came all the from Ohio, and from what I've heard, he's an excellent student."

"Thank you, I'm flattered." Keith flashed a bright smile at Mr. Hodgkins. Helga could notice his dimples all the way from where she was sitting. The dimples made him look slightly less fierce. His voice was deep and raspy. Oh brother, Helga thought, another idiotic pretty boy to add to this stupid, preppy committee. Pretty boy would've been an understatement for this new mysterious looking student because he seemed classier and better mannered than the other guys in school. He even had a sense of style. He was wearing dark khakis with a Burberry belt, dark polished shoes, and a white shirt with a short-sleeved grey cardigan. Helga looked around the classroom to see how everyone else was reacting to this new student. Everyone in the classroom was staring at him..even the guys. No one seemed to blink. The girls were mesmerized over him. Even little Miss Lila couldn't keep her eyes off him.

"I hope all of you will be nice to Keith and show him around the school because being a new student is quite stressful, am I right?" Mr. Hodgkins was nudging Keith's arm with his elbow.

"Ofcourse," Keith agreed. "It's terrifying." Keith laughed a little. Despite what he said, he seemed pretty confident.

"Well you don't have to worry because you're surrounded by a group of friendly students..anyways, why don't you take a seat, Keith. There's an empty desk near the young lady with the maroon shirt..young lady what's your name?" Mr. Hodgkins asked.

"Helga." Helga replied. Fabulous..he has to sit right next to me..the idiot could've done the new guy a favor by putting him next his pathetic fan girls..he would've had a head start with his future crowd.

"Helga would you please raise your hand.." Mr. Hodgkins asked politely. Helga unwillingly raised her hand. Keith smiled and walked toward the empty desk next to her. "Hold on Keith..before you sit down, grab a book from the cart." Mr. Hodgkins grabbed a flash card from the front desk and gave it to Keith. "Write your name, the date, your book number, and the condition of the book."

Keith smiled and said, "Thanks, sir." Sir, Helga thought, damn, this guy is a total suck-up. Keith started walking toward the desk next to her. Helga couldn't help but to notice his perfect posture. Before he sat down, he caught Helga looking at him so he smiled at her and said "hi." Whoa this idiot is actually acknowledging me, Helga thought to herself, well I guess I'll cut him some slack since he's new, and with that Helga gave him a slight smile. She could hear all the girls whispering and saying, "oh my god, he's a greek god".."he's soo hot".."yummmyy." Keith wasn't really paying attention to them, even though the whispers were loud enough for him to hear. Instead, he was filling out his yellow flashcard.

After 5 minutes Mr. Hodgkins came around to collect the flashcards. As he was collecting the flashcards, Keith looked at Helga and asked, "So have you been living in Hillwood for your whole life?" Helga was confused. Is he talking to me?

She looked at him and replied, "pshtt..pretty much."

"Yeah it seems like an interesting place." Keith was staring at the ceiling.

Why is he talking to me..probably because he doesn't know anyone else and he has no other choice. Once Lila's posse gets ahold of him he won't even think about talking to me..asshole, but her thoughts were interrupted after Mr. Hodgkins clapped his hands to get everyone's attention towards the front of the room.

For the remainder of the class period he talked about his classroom requirements and expectations and went over the syllabus he had passed out. It was 6 pages long. Oh man..Helga thought. After she heard some students unzipping their backpacks and putting away their papers Helga looked at the clock. There was only two more minutes left of class. While she was putting away her things and taking out her schedule from the back pocket of her capris, she felt a soft tap on her shoulder. It was Keith. What does he want? She thought.

"Hey, it's Helga right?" Keith asked, squinting one of his eyes. His eyes were a very intriguing color. A mix of dark green and a light honey color. She decided that they were hazel.

"Yes." She replied. Wow he remembered my name..that's a first.

"Well since I'm new..I kind of need help finding my next class..It's room 336. Do you have any idea where that is?" He asked. He had a friendly smile on his face and two dimples started to appear on his cheeks.

Helga took a look at his schedule. His next class was AP Physics..Shit you have to be a genius to be in that class, she thought. She started studying his schedule intently..AP Calc, AP Stats, AP World History, AP Expository Writing..After she realized what she was doing she shook her head and said, "Oh, room 336..I'm actually going to room 334, it's right next to 336. It's on the third floor."

"Oh, do you think I could maybe walk with you?" He asked. He was still smiling.

Well at least the guy doesn't seem like a dumbass..I mean looking at his classes he seems like he has somewhat intelligence, she thought to herself. "Sure." She replied and gave him a somewhat reassuring smile.

Keith smiled at her and said, "thanks."
