Chapter One
~Arnolds P.O.V~
"I really am crazy aren't I, Gerald?" I sighed. I saw Gerald look at me quizzically and asked "What
made you think your crazy Arnold?" I am now seventeen years old, and I have grown up remarkably.
My football head or how Helga describes it has changed, although she still calls me football head.
I grew out of my old clothes and is now wearing dark blue denim pants, with a blue sleeveless polo.
blue Zooyork shoes to match the top. I have grown taller in the past years now landing myself with the
height of 6'3, Im not as muscular as others but my body is built to show of little muscles in the arms.
I look at Gerald who is slightly taller than me with the height of 6'5, He has cut his hair, It still has the
same hairsyle but shorter. He, who is now wearing a red longsleeved polo, with black skinny jeans and
red supras shoes. I sighed at him and pointed towards my back. He looks over at my back and sees his
girlfriend laughing with her bestfriend. Geralds girlfriend since 6th grade. She who now made her hair
longer and was put in a bun using chopsticks, and has the height of 5'4. She who now wears blue fiting
shirt that says "Ohayo". And simple light blue pants and to add up blue flipflops. "What about my
girlfriend, Arnold?" He said. I looked at my back. "No, not her the one she's talking to." I said
nervously. He raised his eyebrow and said "what about HELGA?". "I don't know ever since I rejected
her at the Fti building when she confessed her love and I rejected her making an excuse that it was
because of the 'heat of the moment'. I have been thinking what If I made the wrong choice of rejecting
her?". I heard Gerald sigh and patted my back saying "My bro, Arnold. SHE(points at helga) has been
bullying you since we were kids. And now your saying there is a chance you actually like like her?"
I sighed "I know, it's just that, look although she's still sarcastic, she has mellowed out, and the
bullying has lessen." I look at her slowly hoping not to be catch looking at her. I couldn't but sigh and
smile dreamily at her direction. She has gotten more beautiful than ever, With her yellow sunshine hair
put in a ponytail at one side, and she removed her unibrow, she is now at the height of 5'9. She is now
wearing Black spaghetti shirt with a picture of a skull at the lower left, and her skinny pants that are
now colored pink with ripped parts for design. And her Black and pink stripped sneakers to finish the
look, she looks so mean yet to beautiful, If I could just touch and feel that soft skin of hers. Gerald
snapped me by my daydreaming by saying "Why don't you just ask her out?" I looked at him
nervously. I started playing with my fingers "I'm scared, what if she rejects me? What if it was only
a puppy love thing and she grew out of it, and doesn't love me anymore,were now friends what
If I ruin the friendship we build in years by asking her out ?". Gerald broke into laughter I glared at
him. He patted me at the back and said " you'll never know if you don't ask, right?" I heaved a sigh
and I saw Phoebe and Helga heading towards us. Helga and I had eye contact and smiled at each
other. I saw Gerald and phoebe kiss. Sigh Why can't I do that with Helga? Helga said "Hey football
head!". I smiled at Helga and said "Hi to you too Helga, and hi Phoebe". Phoebe smiled and broke
the kiss with Gerald and said "ohayo, Arnold". Helga sighed "No japanese pheebs, Im going to get a
headache". Gerald, phoebe and I laughed and phoebe said "Roger that Helga just english". We
heard the bell and Gerald said "Come kirei, class is going to begin we should go" Phoebe smiled and
waved a bye to Helga and me before holding hands with Gerald, since they have english together
there class is in the other building. Helga and I have the first class together and it's science. I heard
Helga shout at me "come on football head! Were going to be late". "I'm coming!" I rush to her side
and we started talking about the party Rhonda was going to hold at her place next week. Til we got
to the classroom. was boring but I had nothing else to do. I looked at Helga who was sitting
two tables beside me. I saw her pocket move, must be the her phone. I saw her look at it, she seems
panicky, did Something happen? maybe I should ask her after class.
Helga's P.O.V
I felt my phone vibrate, I took it out of my pocket and read the message. I panicked. It's from HER!
Criminey! she wants to meet me after school. I had no choice but to try to calm myself down.
I texted a "fine" and closed it. I tried to listen to class, but It was hard. I couldn't stop shaking a little
what did SHE want from me?
Arnold's P.O.V
I saw Helga shaking, If you didn't pay attention to her, you wouldn't notice it. I was looking worriedly at her.
What was in her phone that made the Strong Helga G. Pataki shiver? I felt someone poke my back. I looked at my
back and saw Lily looking at me worriedly. She whispered "Is something wrong? you are frowning, you look ever
so sad." I faked a smile and said "it's nothing Lily, thank you for the concern". I was hoping she'd buy it,
she smiled widely and said "I'm ever so relief, but you can always talk to me Arnold". I smiled and nodded.
Still worrying for Helga.
