Helen Poston<br/>4 September 2012<br/>Sixth Period<br/>World History with the Scooby Gang<br/>Tag: Rebecca specifically, Open if desired by others<br/><br/>Just because Helen was oblivious to what she felt towards Isolde didn't mean she didn't recognize it in others.  There was a touch of the<em>yenata</em>in Helen.  She was forever watching how her friends watched boys and talked about them and flirted with them.  She also listened in on the cheerleaders talk about the more interesting, more grown up things they'd done to flirt with boys.  And sometimes more than flirt, if the rumors were true.<br/><br/>Rebecca's look at James caught Helen's eye immediately.  Helen looked to see if he'd noticed, but James seemed oblivious so far.  Typical boy.  They couldn't see someone interested in them even if they were sitting as close together as she and Isolde were.  How silly!  If Isolde was a guy and Helen was interested in her - him - Isolde wouldn't even notice.  Helen was so glad she wasn't as oblivious to feelings like that as boys were.<br/><br/>Anyway, Rebecca had checked out James.<em>Yenta</em>demanded immediate intervention.   It wasn't being a busybody if it was for the other person's own good.  Right?  She pulled the back page out of her notebook and wrote on it, then folded it into a tight little square.  Using the pretext of having to throw something away, she went past Rebecca's desk and stopped to look at the doodling the other girl was doing.<br/><br/>"Hey, that's cool.  I like that part," she said and pointed.  Helen palmed the note into Rebecca's lap then went on back to her desk.<br/><br/>And Isolde.  Wasn't that just the coolest name!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The Note</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>I know for sure he doesn't have a girlfriend.  Sometimes after school he likes to go do this thing called Parker with some friends.  They usually hang out near the park.  If you ask him about it, he'll talk and talk and talk.  Might be a good way to get to know him.<br/><br/>P.S.  Mr. Baker sucks!  :)</em></span></div></div>
