Chapter 4; Helen

That night, I cried because I missed my dad. I cried because I missed who my mom used to be. I cried because of the shadow of myself which I have become.

I tried to sleep but it stayed away from me till the early hours of the next day. By the time I slept even the shrill noise of my alarm couldn't wake me up. So I skipped school.

😭

When I got to school the next day, my fight with Stacey was a forgotten story. Everyone seemed to be talking about the latest news.
Apparently there was an upcoming poem contest. But that wasn't all,it was the prize for the winner that made everyone to talk about it.

"A sponsored trip to Italy", Helen sighed dreamily,"the city of love".

I laughed shutting my locker and swinging my bag unto my left shoulder,"yeah that would be totally cool".

Helen was a slim blonde girl with the right curves. We were friends with Stacey before the betrayal. But me and her went way back even before Stacey came into the picture. We sort of drifted apart a little after that. Talking only when necessary but now that a poem contest was about to start and she knew I loved writing, she took it upon herself to get me informed.

"And that's not all", she stated,"the winner also gets to present it on talent night. Do you know what that means?"she exclaimed excitedly.

I smiled tunning her out. It meant everything, Stacey was the only one who could write a poem as good as mine. I think. If I could write a better poem than hers then I wouldn't even need her drama club to present on that day. It was my chance to get a scholarship and prove to my mum that I wasn't a disappointment afterall. And the trip to Italy would be an added bonus.

"are you even listening to me?", she exclaimed punching me lightly on my shoulder.

I smiled sheepishly and shook my head. She rolled her eyes and huffed. Typical.
"I said that your idea for the drama team is great. I mean who wants to watch people walk in and out of a stage?"

I frowned," really?"

"yeah, I mean their idea is not too bad but you have a point. I got thrown out of the team when I mentioned it", she scoffed crossing her arms." That girl is..."

"You got thrown out too?", I asked in disbelief. Helen was one of the best in that team. If Stacey threw her out then that was just plain stupid.

"yeah", she huffed just as her phone rang out. "That's part of the reason I came to you. I was thinking maybe we should form a new team and come up with something different and....", her phone rang out again but this time she didn't ignore it. She waved me good bye and rushed away with the promise of calling later.

It was... weird. Helen supported me and got kicked out of the team? I wondered in disbelief. And she was willing to form a new team, with me?

I didn't get to continue with my thoughts as a hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbed me and pulled me into a class.

What the hell!!
