Helen Poston - Tuesday 4 September 2012 6th Period - World History with the Scooby Gang [Open]<br/><br/>James' arrival broke the spell, if that's what it was, between the two girls.  Helen looked away first, slumping back into her seat with the image of ghostly grey rings in her head.  The dark approved and moved inside of her, causing a sudden stirring in her tummy.  It wasn't queasy feeling, it just felt different.  It spread slowly, growing warm, like when Mommy gave her sugar and molasses mixed with Daddy's Jack Daniels to quiet a cough.<br/><br/>"Hey," she said quietly, then bent her head and picked at a few left over pieces of eraser trash on her desk.  "He's not," she said suddenly and looked up with just her eyes, only able to see as high up as Isolde's neck.  "My boyfriend.  I don't have one."<br/><br/>And why was that important?
