Summary: Seeing the class is getting ready to head out for graduation with the expectation of Helga being missing. He decides to go look for her. Arnold finds Helga leaning against the locker playing with a cigarette pack. Wondering what's wrong he didn't expect the response from the normally brash girl.
Feeling the anticipation of the air around him, Arnold frown a bit looking around seeing if Helga is nearby. He has been wanted to talk to her since she been acting off for the past couple weeks of school after learning he gotten into Princeton. He looks at Gerald seeing he's chatting with Phoebe making him smile. Those two make an adorable couple.
He catches his best friend's eye mouthing, "I'll be right back."
The other hums looking at his girlfriend who mutters causing him to snicker in agreement, "About time Arnold."
The blond football-head teen ignores the comment running off trying to think where she could have gone. Only thing would be back to her old locker when she wants to get something to have some alone time. He has to get there in time before she goes off. He moves faster skidding though the hallways.
A sigh of relief passes his lips finding Helga leaning against her locker with a cigarette back in her hands. She looks at it with a blank look obviously lost in thought. She jumps feeling a hand on her shoulder making her stare into the familiar eyes of the blockhead she been having a crush on for years which turn to love. Of all times for her to realize it isn't a crush is when he announces he gotten to Princeton.
"What the hell do you want Football Head," She drawls feeling her hands clenching into fists.
"Helga, what's wrong?" He asks softly looking at her with concern as she looks away.
"Nothing," Helga said.
"That's bullshit," Arnold growls as anger enters his voice putting his other arm on the locker while having the same one on her shoulder making her realize Arnold is a bit taller than her now and he's not one to cuss either. "I know you Helga. Something is up."
"Why do you care?"
Helga pushes at his chest trying to make him to move feeling her world spinning around her as the feeling of resentment towards her life and wanting to leave eats at her. She stares as he lets out a humorous chuckle. He steps back staring at her.
"I care because I realize how much love you and want you to come with me to Princeton." He answers before placing a chaste kiss on her lips. "I'm sorry it taken me so know even though I know or have an idea you love me."
"Stupid fucking Football head," Helga answers feeling her throat close up and her cheeks warm at his admission.
"Well I'm yours if you have me," He promises making her laugh and letting him pull her into his arms.
"Always Arnold and I love you to."
