Hey Arnold!
Too Much
The day started as I woke up to start another day. I looked around my room
to find me in my clear blue room. Yea, I have changed from pink to blue
since I have gone from elementary to middle school and now high school. The
only two remaining items in my room that are pink is a pink bow, and one of
the many pink dresses I used to wear.
I got out of my bed and headed to get ready for school. I washed up and headed downstairs. I grabbed a granola bar and left the house.
Outside waiting was my best friend, and personal slave. She was waiting at the bottom of my stoop organizing her book bag. As soon as she saw me she said "Hi Helga! Ready for school?"
Sometimes she got a little too excited. I answered with a slow "Whatever".
We started walking for the bus stop when I bumped into someone. Guess who!
Actually Arnold and I have become good friends. I decided in 7th grade that my love for him was gay and wasted my time and tears for him. Phoebe, Gerald, Arnold and I have become best friends and we go everywhere. Well, not all the time because Gerald and Phoebe are going steady while Arnold is going out with---
"Hello Sweetie!" Lila screamed.
"Hey!" Arnold called back.
"How are you on this oh-so-special-day?"
Yea, she was the same...unfortunately. I still have a pain of jealousy when she comes around, but hey what can I do? I don't want to feel that, but I can't help it. I just try to ignore them. Besides, Arnold only falls for girls with a pretty face. That's not the kind of guy I want.
The guys have all changed and look pretty god except for Harold. Better not say that out loud. He joined the wrestling team last year. Sid and Stinky are skaters, and I have to admit Sid does look pretty good. Gerald is obviously a jock, playing almost every sport invented. Phoebe is still herself, maintaining her "A" grades and most likely going to be Valedictorian. Rhonda and Lila are best friends now. Lila started hanging out with Rhonda and followed Rhonda around everywhere. Lila loved shopping, but didn't have the money. Rhonda's family gave them tons of money to Lila's family because Rhonda begged them. Rhonda needed someone to shop with her. Nadine didn't care for her style and moved with her family to Africa to research bugs in the 8th grade. Sheena and Eugene are dating, but their "dates," are by going to a classical music dance club.
That was pretty much everyone who I kept in touch or just noticed around.
I had zoomed out for the last 5 minutes while 2 couples had their "make-out session."
Suddenly I feel hot tears coming done my cheeks. I couldn't believe it! I hadn't cried for years now. I kept telling myself that I didn't love Arnold anymore. I kept repeating it in my mind that he fell for pretty faces, not for who you really are. It didn't seem to work though. I couldn't let any of them see me so I quickly ran to school.
I could hear Arnold's voice asking "Helga?"
I turned to see his questioning face, but he was pulled by Lila to another kiss, and I ran too kept running. I couldn't hold my feelings anymore. It was too much.
