Humming a tune in my head,I helped Brendan and Tom put away the dishes.Outside,Teri,Martha,Willy and Jim chattered and talked excitedly.

  "Helen,wasn't it?" Someone tapped my shoulder.
"Helena.Yes?"I answered,turning around.For a second my heart stopped.

  In front of me stood Teri's brother,Tom.Through his white tank top,I could see a chiseled,toned chest.His eyes were a ludicrously alluring emerald and his legs were muscular and strong,as were his arms.

  "Helena?"he asked,pushing me slightly.
"Oh-oh yeah?" I looked up to see his roman nose and broad jaw and shoulders.Seeing him made me want to scream in joy and kiss him.

  "I need your help carrying some stuff.It's the pink Teddy bear,"Tom pointed to a pink Teddy bear I'd seen a few times in Teri's room.

  I must kill for mother.Kill for mother!

KI-KI-KI MA-MA-MA

  Peeking out from behind a tree,I saw two people in a car driving down the dirt road;the man was driving with the woman singing a song in the passenger seat.I watched them turn a corner,out of sight.

  Groaning to myself,I transformed and zoomed after them,into Camp Crystal Lake.Neither of them noticed,of course,as I morphed back into myself behind the main cabin.

  Through the window,I saw that several people were inside;ten,in fact.One in a wheelchair and an annamite were kissing intensely while another young woman drank filthy drink.Filthy people.

  "Hello,party people!"the blonde woman in the car cried as she strutted into the room,followed by her mousy brunnete lover(I assumed).
"Hey girl!"the woman who'd been here the longest—the host of the party—giggled obnoxiously.I stormed off silently.
