Arnold's Secret

Disclaimer: I always dream to be Craig Bartlett, but sorry, not even a leprechaun would let me. 

(Story takes place 10 years after 4th grade)

Why do I have to keep everything from him? Why can't I just walk up to him and say, "You're so dense, can't you see I'm in love with you?!?!" Come on I know you could do it, Helga old girl, oh wait Ms. Davidson's here!

Helga takes a seat beside Arnold's chair. After seventh grade, Helga had decided to leave her old self behind, the mean, cruel Helga and become the Helga that Arnold wants her to be. Of course, the only thing that hasn't changed in Helga is her love for her football head (she still calls him that) and her pink bow.

"Hey, football head." Helga said with a smile on her face.

"Oh, hey Helga, you still like that nickname, don't you?" Arnold said.

"Well, when people change, a part of them always stays with them. I kind of miss the old Helga." She said.

"Well, I don't. If you haven't changed, I wouldn't realize how nice you actually were." Arnold said with a smile.

"Thanks, football I mean Arnold." She said.

"Okay, class, today I will assign to you your permanent partners for the whole year. Arnold and Helga, Gerald and Nadine (a/n: they're really a cute couple. LOL), Phoebe and Sheena, Rhonda and Lorenzo (a/n: another hot couple, lol)…..Ms. Davidson said.

Yes! Arnold's my PERMANENT PARTNER. A perfect chance to tell him how I really feel! Helga thought.

"Hey, Helga, we're partners!" Arnold said with a big grin. "uhh, Earth to Helga, Helga, are you there?" Arnold said as he noticed Helga was staring at him in a weird way.

"Uhh, yeah that's awesome!" Helga said finally realizing she was giving Arnold the "I-think you're-really-hot" look. (:
