An octet is a set of eight. Atoms of each of the noble gases (except helium) have eight electrons in their highest occupied energy levels and the general electron configuration of ns2np6.
The noble gas, Helium has only two electrons with the electronic configuration as 1s2. Hence, it does not have a complete octet. and thus, it doesn't follow the octet rule.
