Helen Poston - Tuesday 4 September 2012 6th Period - World History with the Scooby Gang [Open]<br/><br/>The first day of school was always a fashion showcase of new clothes.  Everyone wanted to wear something new and cool and pretty, be it their fancy new Jordans their mom had pulled some other mom's weave out to get to first when the store opened or that just so flirty skirt from A&F.  Because of having to pay for gymnastics and the fact her dad and uncle's wrecker needed a new winch motor, there hadn't been much money at all for back to school clothes.  Helen and her mom had hit the thrift stores and had managed to do okay even though the hipsters had been there before them.  Helen wore a new to her pair of jeans from American Eagle, her best pair of old but clean tennis shoes and a really cute pink and light blue plaid button down shirt worn loose over a tank top.  She thought she looked pretty nice, even if everything was old or had been picked up on the cheap.<br/><br/>There was a really tall, like volleyball tall, girl already in World History.  She had cute hair, sort of boyish, sort of pixiesh.  It wasn't as read as Heather's but had some cool looking blonde streaks in it.  Her face was kind of cool too, not something Helen had ever seen before.  Like...different.  Not American.  Maybe she was an exchange student.  That would be cool.  They were always so much fun and had neat things to tell you about where they lived.  Plus Helen could hide behind her.<br/><br/>When she walked past, Helen saw the girl was doodling or sketching in her notebook.  When Helen sat, it was perfect!  She could see the board but just a little scoot to the left and she'd be completely hidden by the girl in front of her.  Maybe the teacher wouldn't call on her very often.  "Hey," she said to Isolde.  "Your hair looks cool."
