Hi!!! I am a new writer! Love Hey Arnold, just became a fan a few weeks ago, my bosses nine year old daughter got me hooked! So here is my first story. I know that the first paragraph sounds a little weird because it's just a quick description of them now and stuff and I apologize for that. Enjoy!! :o)
~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~HA~*~
Arnold, Helga, and the gang were in their 10th grade of school, and about 16 years old. Phoebe and Gerald have been going out for three years already and still going strong. Phoebe got rid of the glasses and Gerald was still the same. Arnold finally got the nerve to ask Lila out, only to be dumped a few months later. He was taller now, taller than most people, his hair still looked the same, but he got a new wardrobe. Helga grew up to become one of the prettiest girls in school. Her hair was no longer sticking out from the sides, but now always pulled back into a ponytail, or a braid. Helga was still madly in love with Arnold, but since that summer when she told him how she really felt, she decided that he would never feel the same towards her. He looked so scared when she let out all of her feelings; she knew that she never wanted to see that look on him ever again. So she settled for the next best thing; being his friend. The two became closer and better friends through the years. Helga was there for Arnold when his girlfriend Lila of 3 months broke up with him, and he always had a spare cot in his room for Helga whenever Olga came home.
But now something weird was going on. For the past couple of weeks Helga's been coming to school with bruises all over her. Sure Helga was always known for threaten kids that she'd fight them if they ever crossed her, but no one has actually seen Helga in a fight.
Arnold always asked Helga what the problem was, but she always told him, "I got into this huge fight with this guy coming to school today. He tried to mug me so I had to defend myself, but if you think this is bad, you should see him," she'd walk away and Arnold would drop the subject.
This time she wasn't confronted by Arnold, she was confronted by Rhonda in the girls bathroom.
"What happened to you, got into a dog fight?" Rhonda said and laughed. As the years went by and her family got richer, Rhonda became snottier.
Helga growled at her and clamped her hands into fists. She had to come up with something good. She clamed down, crossed her arms across her chest, and said, "No. You see my boyfriend from the High School on the other side of town is just so damn hot that all the other girls want him." She started to move her hands around like she does when she's explaining something, "Those stupid girls don't understand the words, 'No, I'm in love with Helga,' so I show those girls the meaning of 'No'. Tom loves it when I get feisty like that." Rhonda started laughing, "What are you laughing at snob?!"
"You... you... you... have a... a... boyfriend!!" Rhonda said through her fits of laughter. "Ha! That's a joke! It'll be a cold day in hell when somebody can love you!" Rhonda said and left the bathroom.
Helga started crying, she covered her eyes with her hands, and fell to her knees crying.
Outside at lunchtime...
Even though that there is no recess and no outside playground, the group always sits under the big tree outside and eats their lunches together.
Arnold, Gerald, Harold, Sid, Stinky, Sheena, Eugene and the rest of the gang were already all outside under the tree eating, when Rhonda came out of the school to find her friends.
Helga came out after Rhonda and heard her say, "Listen to this guys." Helga walked up to the tree and hid herself behind the tree so no one could see her. "I just saw Helga in the bathroom, and do you know what she told me!?"
Helga's eyes widened and said to herself, "Please, no! Don't do this!"
"What?" Everyone else asked.
And Rhonda told them exactly what Helga told her. "She says that this boy, Tom, loves it when she gets feisty!"
Everyone started laughing.
"What's so funny!?" Helga heard Arnold say. She smiled, she knew he would stick up for her.
"Haven't you've been listening to what Rhonda said?" Stinky said.
"That is the most lamebrain story I have ever heard! Someone in love with Helga! Seriously guys who could love her!?"
Everyone started laughing harder. Helga covered her ears so she wouldn't hear them and she missed Arnold saying, "I'm sure, Rhonda, that if someone could love you," Arnold looked around, "and love you guys, there has to be someone who can love her!"
But through the laughing, no one could really hear him and for those who did didn't really care.
Arnold, Gerald, and Phoebe, stood up. Gerald said something to Arnold and Arnold and Gerald started laughing. As they walked back into the school Helga saw Gerald and Arnold laughing, then heard Arnold say, "Oh my God, that *was* hilarious and true. Oh so true." Helga stared at Arnold wide-eyed and mouth hanging open. She got up and ran into the school. She wasn't watching were she was going and bumped into a laughing Arnold. With him being taller and stronger, he didn't fall down, but she did.
Arnold stopped laughing and said, "Oh sorry Helga, need a hand?" He said and stuck his hand out for her to take.
Helga slapped at his hand and said, "No, football head! I don't need your help!" She said and got up. She glared at him for a quick moment and then ran off.
"Helga?" Arnold called after her. It sort of frightened with what he saw in her eyes. It wasn't a mean glare like "I'll kick your ass if you come near me," but a sad, disappointed glare, like, "How could you do that to me." Helga ran after her and grabbed her arm, "Helga are you mad at me?"
"Oh no!" She said sarcastically, "I'm just so happy with you!!"
"Helga what did I do?"
"Nothing!"
"Then why are you mad at me?!"
"Didn't you hear me Arnoldo! You... did... NOTHING!!" she poked him in the chest after every word. "So leave me alone!" She pushed him back really hard and ran the other way.
Gerald and Phoebe ran up behind him and asked, "What happened?"
"I have no clue."
"What did she say?" Phoebe asked. "What did you do?"
"I have no clue. She said that I did nothing and kept poking me," he rubbed his chest in the spot she poked at him.

So... what do you guys think??
