Narrative:
While I was finishing up the run up; my instructor notified me that I should find another route because of a thunderstorm rolling into my original destination. While taxiing to the 360 check; I was feeling pretty stressed since there was a lot of things going on in my mind. I was thinking about how I should go to my new destination and after that I checked for any traffic while doing the 360. I did not see anything so I checked my ads-B but I did not see anything. I must have missed the helicopter on the ads-B. I went to the hold short for runway 35 and I looked both ways and it looked like I was clear so I announced that I was taking the runway for take-off. As soon as I got onto the runway; all of my attention went into my plane but I heard a helicopter call and I thought they said parallel for runway 35 since that is what they always did while I was in the pattern. It turned out they did a landing on 35 which I've never encountered. When I started to take off; it looked like they were doing a parallel which confirmed what I thought I heard; so I went with the take-off but when I checked again about 1000 feet off the ground; they were under me so I tried to climb as fast as I could.
