HIII GUYS! Sorry for the long wait; I got a little writter block. But here is it. Okay, now I gotta say some important things.

The future of the fic has been changed. So I wrote another prologue. Some of you will make conclusion, but don't fall for it too quickly :)

Also, I would like to thanks you all for the AMAIZING reviews you left me. Seriously, I like it. it makes my day :)

And now, I'd like to say something for all the haters: You mad bro :)?

It wasn't a good idea. Every fiber of my motionless body was telling me no, screaming at me that it wasn't a great idea at all. Cold sweat ran down my oblong shaped head, and I gulped. What the hell was I doing here?

Millow's house was filled with people who were either drunk or high, or both. And here I stood, my eyes blankly looking around for a familiar face. The ''crazy kids'' as Helga loved calling them, were laughing and having a great time. I sighed. I was the only one being bored right now? I ran my hands across my disheveled hairs. What was Helga thinking, seriously? I kept telling myself as my hands ended up at my hips in an attempt to look offended, but no one paid any attention to me. Suddenly, I felt two strong arms rolling up around by neck and almost pulling off my head in a hug.

''Why Arnold, you finally here! I'm glad you found your way, Millow kept saying that you wouldn't, I just won 20 bucks!''

It took me less than one second to recognize the voice, but I couldn't help the sudden smile creeping on my face.

''Glad to help.''

''Come here, I want to present you to the crazy kids.''

I followed her in the house, staring intensively at her back. She was wearing a baby blue hoodie with drawings of $ on it. Her legs were barely covering by her white short skirt. Speaking of which, I didn't know she liked to wear those things. Then she spun quickly towards me, I froze. She was beyond beautiful. Her hairs were loose like usual, put she wore a thin black line of make up around her blue ocean eye. Oh boy, her beauty made me shiver. But then she grabbed my shoulder, making me popping up from whatever 9th cloud I was. She shoved me in front of her like I was a weak piece of rag doll.

''Guys, this is Arnold. Arnold, the Guys.''

I looked at them despite me, but they only just waved, more or less interested in me, and it wasn't too bad; I didn't really wanted to socialize tonight although they seemed as if they came from a bad Italian movie. They looked very dangerous, and I made a mental note to stay away from them. Helga presented me to everybody, every friend and dealer. I just followed gently; she is after all the only person I really got to know here, so I would just walk in her step. She was sober, which I think was odd since I was one hour late; Helga would be drunk by this time.

I shrugged. What can I say? Helga is really unpredictable. After she finished presenting me to her friends, she grabbed my shoulders again.

''Everybody seems to like you!''

I raised an eyebrow. ''Really? But I think they looked pretty uninterested.''

''Come on, let's go grab some beer! It's going to remove the stick from your cute little ass!''

She didn't even give me the time to blush as she shoved into my hand a cup filled in beer; Molson dry I think; since this is her favorite one. I sighed, and we took together a long slurp of the cold alcohol. I felt it slide into my throat, refreshing every fiber of my body. Once I finished my cup, I smiled awkwardly.

''This is good.''

''I know, doi! '' She replied with a cocky grin.

I took another one and followed her everywhere. After our fifth cups and a couple of cigarettes, we began to feel a little dizzy; I expected ourselves to be drunk already. I smiled awkwardly when I felt Helga sitting on my lap, myself sitting on the couch. She put an arm around me and kissed me passionately. We were surrounded by drunk and high people, so they didn't give a shit about us making out, and I gotta admit I didn't care right now. I couldn't think of anything, it was as if my brain got numb from all the beer and the weird smoke in the air making its way in my nostril ever since I enter this place.

Everything went fine, we drank, we make out a little, we laugh... But the real fun was when Helga decided to play karaoke. Oh boy, I was a bad singer...

''Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie.''

She ended her part and looked at me with an obvious look on her face. I gulped and tried to remember the lyrics in my head. Everybody was watching us by now, in the middle of the living room. I was nervous.

''I c-can't tell you what it is... What it really is... uh... I can ...on-only tell you what it feels like... And uh...

And right now there's a... There's a... Uh... steel knife in my wind... Wind something...''

Oh gosh what a shame. I blushed hard and everybody went silent for a minute. Helga was looking at me with this big beautiful eye before bursting into laugher and so did everybody. I couldn't help the little smile creeping on my face before I laughed too at my awkwardness and failure. Helga holds her stomach while punching the wall.

''Oh shit Arnold that was so fuckin funny! You sound like shit man hahahaha!''

I stopped laughing, but the smile didn't fade away. I was happy to see her smile and laugh like that.

After that, T-rex came to sing... And it was wonderful. Well, if you think metal is wonderful, he just screamed.

Honestly, I didn't think I would have fun tonight. I thought I would get bored and leave. But much at my surprise, I found myself having fun, and I didn't want to leave at all. We took more beer, and smoked some more, but then, Helga held in front of me a sack of white powder. The alcohol made me denser as ever, so it took me few seconds to realize what it was.

''Is that...'' I began not as nervously as I wanted to.

She simply nodded. By this time, everybody had already left; it was past 2 in the morning. Of course I felt tired, but the alcohol in me was keeping me from dozing. I could see Millow spying on us from afar and she did a weird smile at me before disappearing, but before I could analyze what this smile was for, Helga was doing small lines of this white powder. I stared at it, trying to focus, but I was... well, too drank already, I wasn't able to clear my thoughts, and I suddenly felt like a doll, not even able to move. Helga snapped me outta my reveries when she held me a rolled up bill of 5. I found myself swallowing, now unsure if I should do it or not. Thinking was pulling my mind in a deeper frog as the second before. I wasn't sure what was right or wrong anymore as I took the bill of 5 $.

I looked at it blankly for few seconds now, but then she grabbed softly my chin and made me look at her. Despite being as drunk as me, she kept her calm. Her big blue eye and coy smile gave the courage to lean forward and I take it all in one forced breath.

At first, there was nothing, and I couldn't help but think that finally, it wasn't that big of a deal. But after few minutes, I started to feel a new energy racing in my body, waking up my lazy mind, giving life again to my numb limps. I felt... I just felt extremely happy for no reason, and looked at Helga with a big goofy smile.

''Hey hot stuff how ya doin?"

Whoa, did I really say that out loud? It's like it wasn't my voice anymore, it wasn't me. But in some way, I adored this feeling. She only smiled and put her hand on my thigh.

''One time's enough for today, let's go home and let's have some sex.''

…...

To be honest, I didn't remember much of this night. All I remembered... Feeling extremely happy, so happy, that I couldn't walk properly, always talking, or pointing things in the outside, then I began to run because I was seeing weird things flying around me. Shortly, I saw life in pink. I also remembered... Well, wild sex. Really wild sex. I was now alone in my shower, (When I woke up, Helga wasn't there, so I just headed home), and I couldn't stop the boner beginning to form on my body. And much to my luck, I was forced to forget it for the time being because I heard the sweet voice of Helga suddenly singing out of nowhere. Still a little dozed, I grabbed my phone with my wet hand.

''Stinky, is that you?'' I started, a little irritated to be interrupted in that ''kind'' of moment.

''Hey Arnold, you're working tonight right? Will you be going at school?''

I took my time to answer, trying to analyze if I was feeling good enough for that.

''Yes, I guess so.''

''Okay, see you later Arnold. Oh, and Sid asks if you wanted to go to restaurant for lunch.''

I shook my head, despite the fact that he couldn't see it. And I swore I could feel him smile.

''I don't know if I can afford that.''

''No problem, I pay for both of you.''

''Are you sure?''

''Don't worry, I got my paid yesterday. ''

''Well, sound's fair enough. Okay I'm in. I'll be at school at 8.

''Nice, Oh, and Arnold, I reckon that you should bring your little blonde friend with us for the lunch."

At the thought of Helga missing this morning, I sighed.

''I Don't think she will."

''Okay, well see ya later.''

We hang up; I showered and headed for school before being late.

…...

To be honest, I wasn't in the mood to study or work. I just wanted to lay on my bed and think of what happened yesterday. I mean, let's face it; I wasn't myself. I took... I took coke. I used what I promised myself to never use. I sighed, bringing the attention of Sid on me in our class of math. He frowned a little, but said nothing. I gotta admit; I was pretty tired, and my mind still numb from everything that happened yesterday. I couldn't care less of what the teacher had to say. At the break, Sid grabbed my arm.

''Hey buddy you ok?'' He asked, still frowning.

''Yeah, I'm just... A little tired.''

But this excuse somewhat true didn't convince him. His frown deepened before his eyes widened.

''No way... Arnold, are you taking... Coke?''

It was my turn to wide my eyes as big as I could. I looked all around laughing nervously.

''Wh-what are you talking about?''

''Don't play dumb with me Arnold. I've been an addicted before. I can recognize someone who take that, I'm not that stupid.''

I anxiously ran my hand in my hairs. Damn.

''Don't tell anyone okay, I... I just tried.''

We headed for the locker, until Sid began to speak again.

''It was with this Pataki girl, right?''

''Y-yeah...'' I didn't feel like talking about "that" with Sid, but I guess he was the only one who could understand me. But what he said stopped me right in my track.

''Call me when you are doing it again, okay?''

I stared at him with a lifeless expression.

''Sid... Are you still doing it?''

''Snuffing coke?... Yeah I guess, sometimes...'' He replied, a little ashamed, playing with his leather coat.

''SID!'' I cried out, anger suddenly blossoming in my stomach.

''What? Stopping is not as easy as it seems! I'm not that addicted like I was before! '' He quickly defended himself. ''Now I do "it" like, what, 2, 3 times a month?''

''But Sid... You told us...''

''Yes I know, I lied, but now Arnold, you are no better than me.''

I was about to reply, but he was just too damn right. I couldn't help but pout.

''So you will call me if you are doing this, right?''

''No Sid, I don't even think I will be doing this ever again. It was a mistake, I was drunk.''

Sid stopped and stomped in front of me. He was about a little shorter than me, but as this very moment, he was slightly intimidating.

''Listen Arnold, I thought that too. Don't think you are be better than anyone else. I really don't think it was your last time.''

I got really angry. Who was he to tell me that? He breathed roughly, and shoved it a little on the side and continued to walk.

Now, I wasn't in the mood to go to the restaurant at all. I texted Stinky as I walked to my locker. For a second, I looked up to see Lila talking to Brainy, and I widened when she laughed. Whoa... Wha, okay, I didn't expected her to heal from our break up that fast. I mean, she was all ''come back'' the other day. I frowned. Well, healing, it was maybe a little too much for me to say, knowing that I didn't know at all what she was feeling right now... But Brainy, really? C'mon. The guy almost doesn't know how to say a single sentence without wheezing.

I almost choked at my own mean wickedness, and shook my head. What's wrong with me? This Helga girl had this strong effect on me sometime, I felt like I wasn't myself anymore. I suddenly felt weak, and sat on one of the bench in the hallway, my head in my hands. I wasn't feeling good at all, like I would throw up in a second or another. I felt someone sitting next to me.

''Man, you okay?''

I closed my eyes, guessing who it was.

''No I'm not, Gerald. Don't feel good today.''

''You should go back home.''

''No, Can't. I'm late with my studies, and I still have to go to work.''

He didn't answer, knowing there was nothing more to say. He patted my back and stood up.

'''You gonna come with us to the cafeteria?''

''No, I think I'll just stay here, and wait for the next class. I'm not hungry.''

My best friend sighed, and shrugged.

''Give me a call if you need something.''

Soon, I was alone in the hallway. No students, no teachers. I sighed deeply and pulled off a cigarette before inhaling it. Damn, it felt just too good. I was about to go back in my reveries when I heard a little sound coming from my phone. It was a text from Helga.

''Hey hot stuff, I got some money, can pay the rent, yay! U coming 2night?''

I smiled a little, and texted back.

''Can't, I work.''

I waited a couple of minutes, and then the sound made me jump on my seat.

''Kay, will pay you a visit.''

I grinned more. So, she really wanted to see me, uh? I closed my eyes, and listened to the beat of my heart. This was way too good to be true.

School ended slowly. I tried, I really tried to stay awake, but the teacher's voice was getting more annoying by the minute.

After school, I didn't lose time. I went to home, put on new clothes, and went to work. My boss was waiting for me to arrive, a big smile on his face. He gave me some instructions, and left, leaving me alone in the drug store. The evening was rather calm, not a lot of customers, and I took advantage of the time to discretely play with my Gameboy. Yeah, I know, people now and days have Psps or an IPhone, and I still played with a Gameboy. But this is so cheap compared to the other stuff.

''Damn football head, welcome in 2013.''

I blinked awkwardly and raised my head, unaware of Helga who just entered the shop and have been watching me for a long time judging the look on her face.

''Uh?''

''Wake up, Shortman.'' She said a big smile on her face.

I grinned too, and she stayed with me until I finished my shift, and took me home.
