Lovely Problems

Chapter 3

"I got in! I got in! I got in!"
Helena was accepted into Project-Hearts, and she couldn't stop screaming.

Anne grabbed some earplugs from her pocket and covered her ears. Much better.
After about thirty or more seconds of Helena overreacting, the high pitched voice finally settled down.
"I know you're excited to meet new people and do something for a good cause, but maybe keep it down...", Anne said. Helena's head was full of awesome ideas on what her group should do for their Project. Maybe a popcorn stall? Or maybe even sell things online.
Some students who didn't make the cut were groaning with disappointment after failing to locate their name on the wall.

Sally sadly didn't get in, but being the typical girl she was, she shrugged it off pretty quickly, wrapping it up with her trademark "meh".
Anne didn't sign up in the first place because she knew she had bad luck and probably would not have got in.

The bell for period 5 rang, as everyone hurried to their lockers, grabbing books and pencil cases in a rush.

"This story is about true love", Mr Travers said in a sarcastically enthusiastic voice.
Helena's soul woke up after hearing those words, true love.
No one else in the room cared, or was even listening to Mr Travers for that matter.
But Helena was thinking about Jordan. His black hair, his brown eyes, perfect face shape, captain of his soccer team, hot build-
"Helena?". Mr Travers had called her name, "Stop daydreaming and focus on our story!".
Helena looked around. Luckily no one in the room started laughing or seemed to care, they were all just bored of the English class and wanted to get out already.
Helena shuffled in her seat and payed attention to Mr Travers reading Enchanted.

Helena could hear all her classmates scream a silent "YES!" When the bell rang.
The weekend was here once again, and that meant Helena could finally see Jordan in 2 days.
