Helga's Plan The Prologue

Helga smiled. She always did whenever Arnold was around. She had since she was 3. And now, 10 years later, he was still making her smile.

Jr. High is a weird place for relationships. People are couples and then not couples almost every day. Its not really easy to have a steady relationship. Arnold's hadn't worked out. Helga gaged at the memory.

Arnold was so in love with her it was sick. Her name was Penny. 'What a dumb name' Helga thought. Penny was 14. Arnold practically was her slave the week they went out together. She dumped him because her friends told her, too. Helga was so miserable that week.

"Helga, are you paying attention?" Arnold asked her.

"huh, oh yeah football head. The answer's 47, right?" She said. She'd made sure that if she had to get a tutor, she'd get one that she could also try to seduce.

"Could you call me Arnold? I can leave anytime I want ya know. And yes, the answer is 47."

"Ok, Arnold. Can we take a break? I'm really hungry."

"No Helga, we have to do this now. Afterwards you can eat."

"Fine." She said looking at the problem in front of her. She hated math. At least Arnold made it understandable.

Helga looked a lot different now. She had finally plucked her eyebrows, so there wasn't a unibrow. She didn't wear her hair the same way anymore. She let it down or in a braid. She'd developed curves, and there were lots of boys willing to take her out. But guess who she was holding out for. Arnold. He hadn't changed at all.

After they were done studying Helga was trying to find a way to keep Arnold there. She had to spend more time with him. "Arnold, would you like something to drink before you go? Lemonade? Kool-aid? A coke?"

"No thanks Helga, I have to get home. My grandma is making my favorite dinner tonight." He said and with that he put his backpack over his shoulder and left.

"Why Can't I get him to be my friend?" Helga thought to herself. She'd stopped talking to herself a while a go.

*Later that night*

"Helga, why don't you just get over Arnold? there's lots of guys who would go out with you!" Helga's friend Natasha said.

"I can't. I know sometime he'll come around." Helga said softly. She was a lot nicer lately. Too bad Arnold hadn't noticed. Whenever she was around him she got this urge to tease him. It was hard to hold back on her anger and taunting around him.

"At least go on a date with a guy to the dance in 2 weeks. I know Joey will ask you. Sid already asked me."

"You're going with Sid?! Thats great! Howabout, if I don't get Arnold in this next week, I'll go with someone else. OK?"

"Thats great Helga! Tell me when Joey asks you!" Natasha said then had to go.

"Great. Now I only have a week to get Arnold. Good thing he has to tutor me all week for Friday's test. At least I have the weekend to think about my plan." She thought. "Only one week. Even I can't do this."

A note from Sqwirrel: What do you think? Is it alright so far? If you'd like me to continue please leave a review. Anything would help me out! Thanks!

Also, I know its short, but its just the prologue. The 1st chapter might be out tomorrow, if I get some nice reviews :)
