Okay, I'm going to be taking a little break from 'Oh Rhonda!' to write another Hey Arnold fic! It won't be too long, probably about... five chapters or at least six. Anyway, here is the first chapter to this new fic! Anyway, enjoy!

Inside the confides of PS 118, Rhonda Wellington Lloyd was smiling into her mirror as she was looking at her new hairstyle. She smiled at the poofiness she had just put with her short hairstyle. She figured it was about time she showed it off to her classmates.

"Hi, Rhonda." She heard Arnold say. "You have a great hairstyle today."

Rhonda smiled as she turned to Arnold, waving. "Thanks. I'm glad you like it, Arnold!"

Rhonda smiled happily as she looked at her mirror one more time before deciding to show off her new hairstyle in public.

"This hairstyle was styled by my hairdresser thanks to her study on the eighties trends." Rhonda explained to some of the girls that were gathering around. "Notice the poofiness on the hair? Isn't it great?"

Most of the girls were murmuring, complimenting Rhonda's hairstyle. Rhonda smiled, "No, please, you're too kind, really..."

She then heard the school bell ring as she smiled. "Well, girls, I'd love to talk about my hairstyle some more, but I believe it's time I take my departure. Same time tomorrow?"

The girls nodded as Rhonda started to walk off, but then she yelped as Helga ran past her, laughing as she said, "Wrestling competition, here I come!"

"HEY!" Rhonda yelled as she felt her hair being whiplashed. "And I just had this done!"

Rhonda muttered as she took out her mirror and adjusted her hairstyle, smiling a little. "That's a little better."

Rhonda was about to walk outside when she noticed the rain dropping down. She frowned as she muttered, "Of all the times NOT to bring my umbrella... and I don't want this hair being wet..."

"Hey, Rhonda."

Rhonda looked up to see Arnold carrying his umbrella. "Need a little help?"

Rhonda smiled a bit as she said, "Thanks, Arnold. I could use a little shelter from the rain until I get to my house."

Arnold smiled as he went outside and opened his umbrella as Rhonda immediately stepped under it and smiled towards him as the two walked to the bus stop together.

"So, Rhonda, how's life getting back in the rich lifestyle?" Arnold asked, out of curiosity.

"Oh, it's been all right." Rhonda shrugged. "My parents and I are slowly getting into the hang of things again, but at least we got our home and possessions back."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Arnold said as he patted her back. "You're back on your feet, at the very least."

"Again, Arnold, I should really thank you for giving me that boost of confidence." Rhonda said as she and Arnold entered the bus.

"Don't mention it, really." Arnold gave a smile to Rhonda.

Rhonda smiled back as the two rode together. From inside the bus, Nadine was nearby as she watched the two in interest. Her curiosity peaked as she sat not too far away from them.

"Thanks, Arnold." Rhonda said as the bus arrived at the bus stop near her house. "See you around."

"See you tomorrow, Rhonda!" Arnold smiled as he waved to her.

Rhonda smiled as she had gotten off the bus, by now, it stopped raining for the most part.

"Hi, Rhonda."

Rhonda yelped as she turned... but sighed in relief to see it was Nadine. "Oh, Nadine... don't do that! I thought you were maybe Curly!"

"No, if I was Curly, I'd say 'hey, my sweetheart', instead." Nadine rolled her eyes.

Rhonda laughed. "True, true... so, what can I help you with?"

"Well..." Nadine raised an eyebrow. "You and Arnold, for starters."

"What about it?" Rhonda asked in curiosity as she and Nadine entered inside.

"Isn't it obvious?" Nadine said as they started to walk towards her room. "I notice you're more comfortable with him more than any of the other boys... I mean, you've been with people like Sid and Harold, but I noticed you've had a little more comfy feeling towards Arnold the most."

Rhonda raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Are you telling me I like him like him? Because I don't think of him like that."

Nadine frowned a bit as she lowered her eyes. "Rhonda, let me tell you some hints I noticed that you're particularly INTERESTED in him. You decided to put him on his Cool List during your Cool Party idea because you thought the way he dressed was cool. You and him share a common interest in Dino Spumoni. You were sort of his date during the School Dance. He helped you out during the times you were poor, and heck, you even accept his help without batting an eyebrow towards him."

"Because he's a nice guy." Rhonda said as she pulled out her fashion magazine. "Doesn't mean I like him like him."

Nadine raised an eyebrow as Rhonda paused. "Does it?"

"Who knows?" Nadine said as she sat down next to Rhonda. "But hey, if Arnold offered you a chance to go out with him, on one date...would you?"

"Well, if I had nothing better to do, or if I was working with him on a study group or..." Rhonda paused. "Well... probably. I mean, just as friends, but-"

Rhonda looked at Nadine. "Nadine, have you ever had a feeling you're starting to realize certain feelings for a boy that's really nice?"

"So you do admit you have feelings for Arnold!" Nadine smiled.

Rhonda rolled her eyes. "Okay, so what if I do? It's just a silly crush!"

Rhonda looked down. "A crush I thought would probably go away since third grade or so... oh God, Nadine, I think I have a crush on Arnold. What do I do?"

Nadine looked at her watch. "Just think about it for a while, and come see me before school tomorrow. We can talk there."

Rhonda paused as she looked up at the ceiling. Why did she have feelings for Arnold? Was he the right guy for her? Well, she had a lot to think about tonight...

With Helga, as she was about to enter the stadium with her ticket to the wrestling arena, she stopped suddenly as she said to herself, "Why do I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen?"

Once Helga went inside, she immediately ran for the bathroom and locked the door as she pulled out her locket containing her Arnold picture. Helga smiled, "My beloved, I hope it's not another moment where I get another rival... I mean, ever since Arnold lost interest in Lila, everything's been going pretty easy... I just don't want that screwed up..."

Meanwhile, in the Gammelthorpes' residence, Curly was about to cut a picture of Rhonda to put in his little 'Rhonda Scrapbook', when he suddenly stopped, cold. He then said, "Why do I have a feeling that something is not right in the air?"

Curly looked down at his Rhonda photograph and said, "Almost as if... my beloved had a yearning for somebody else..."

Curly laughed. "I must be talking crazy again... Rhonda KNOWS she's for me!"

And that is the first chapter! How was it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest!
