Chapter 1

Like other day

All the generations pass for the same thing, their graduation of high school. Some are worry about the future while others are excited about college. And here she is, starting her last year of high school, wondering how is going to be her life. She knows that she'll be in NYU studying literature, but she doesn't know if she's gonna find love. Because she has been in love with the same boy for 15 years, and he doesn't know. All that she can do is being his friend; well that's what she thinks. They have been friends since the fifth grade, after her confession in the Fti building. She was a lot friendlier with everybody, but still a little bit tough. Even Rhonda became very united with her, she tell her some secrets that were very .... anyway all was perfect, only that Arnold wasn't her boyfriend.

This day was the same like others, she wake up, take a shower, change clothes, and take a bus to Hillwood high school. Sitting next to the window looking the city with her ipod. Then she waits for Arnold for their first class that they have together. While she puts her books in her locker, he approaches with a big smile in his face.

"Helga, you won't believe what happen!" He stand next to her

"Good morning Arnoldo, yeah I have a great weekend, thanks for asking" she said while she was rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

"Oh sorry, Helga. Good morning."

"Ok, what happen?" She turn her head to see him

"There's going to be a play before the holidays, wanna be in there?"

"I don't know, why I would be on a play?" Turned again to her locker.

"Because you're a great actress and singer?" saying with a face of matter-of-factly.

"Oh please," 'oh my god he said that I'm a good singer. Oh Arnold, my love you're always find something good in all.'

"Come on Helga, it would be fun" he said to her while they were walking to the class of English, passing through the halls and they stop in front of one poster of the play Love Actually.

"Well, only if you do it too. Now let's get inside before Mr. Adams close the door."

"What ever you say Helga" he sighed and open the door for Helga.

The auditions for the play were on Friday of the next week, so they were ore time together, getting ready. They studied in his house, then rehearsed a little bit, and talked. When she was gone he read a book, called Gerald, and then goes to bed. And she called Phoebe and Rhonda while she was headed to her house, then write in her laptop more poems about Arnold and look some pictures of him or chat with Phoebe, and fall asleep.

"Ready?" He looked nervous.

"Yeah, football head. Are you?" she smirks. "Relax we're going to be great"

"Next please" said Mrs. Miller "Oh Arnold, Helga, are you gonna do it together?"

"Yeah, Why?" He said.

"Well, you can but I'll love if each of you sing alone"

"But we already have or song, can we sing it and then each of us alone?"

"Sure, why not? Start when you're ready" The music start and Helga wait for her entrance. Both staring to Mrs. Miller

Helga

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "Seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Arnold
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Helga
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
someone who'll watch over me Arnold
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
to one who'll watch over me

Both turn, and stared each other Helga
although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
to my heart he carries the key Both
won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
someone to watch over me

"Lovely, now please Arnold could you sing?"

"Sure Mrs. Miller, Helga could you put this song? Then can you stand beside me"

"Sure Arnold" giving her his ipod. She connects it and plays it. It starts and Arnold looks at Helga taking her hands.

If I walk, would you run?
If I stop, would you come?
If I say you're the one, would you believe me?
If I ask you to stay, would you show me the way?
Tell me what to say so you don't leave me.
The world is catching up to you
While you're running away to chase your dream
It's time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
And maybe I'm not ready

But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

If I sing you a song, would you sing along?
Or wait till I'm gone, oh how we push and pull
If I give you my heart would you just play the part
Or tell me it's the start of something beautiful.
Am I catching up to you?
While your running away to chase your dreams
It's time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
And maybe I'm not ready

But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

huh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh huh huhhh

If I walk would you run
If I stop would you come
If I say you're the one would you believe me

All the time Helga was looking at him with a lovesick smile and blushing, 'Oh my, he sounds so beautiful' at the end she hugs him and then kisses him.

"Great Arnold, Helga, now is your turn."

'Did I just kiss him; wait a minute, HE KISS ME BACK!!!! Oh it's my turn.' Helga sings her song to Mrs. Miller, while Arnold was looking at her behind her with a little smile. 'That was a great kiss. Wait, did she just kiss me and I kiss her back.'

When the song finish Mrs. Miller said that he results will be posted by Monday. They went out of the auditorium. Helga hasn't look at him at all. 'Now what I'm going to tell him. Crimean, why is he so irresistible? I know I tell him that I was just acting. Oh now he's looking at me. Okay Helga, relax.'

"Helga, can I ask you something?" he said while she picks one of her books.

"You're gonna ask me for that kiss right. Look Arnold it was just a kiss, I was acting." She said without looking at him.

"Really? because it seem like something."

"Arnold, you're my best friend. I love you, but no in that way." She lied.

"Ok, want to go to Slausen's with Gerald and Phoebe?"

"Yeah, but I can't. Olga needs my help with Ally."

"Want help?" They start walking out of the high school.

"No, it's ok. I want to spend time with her anyway." Arnold raises one eyebrow and stops her.

"Why? Usually you don't."

"I just want to talk to her, like real sisters."

"About what?"

"Is none of your business Arnoldo," They finally arrive to her house.

"Well, I think I'll see you later"

"Yeah, bye football head" He kisses her cheek, and goes away. Helga looks how he leaves. She enters knowing that Olga will come until five, she have two hours for herself, that went pretty fast because she was only thinking about her beloved. 'Oh Arnold, why I can't tell you the truth'

"Hi Helga, ready for Ally."

"Huh? Oh yeah sure."

"Oh I see that you were busy thinking about someone, right? Maybe Arnold?"

"Shut up Olga" she rolled her eyes and kissed Ally.

"Well?" She was making the dinner then turn to Helga waiting for her answer. Helga sighed, look at Olga with a little smile.

"Well, you know that I love him since what? Fifth grade?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"And you know that I-I'm just his friend, and nothing else. And today we auditioned for a play in the high school, and he asked me to stand next to him, and I did. So, his song was try, you know try for your love. When he finished I kissed him." Helga said with a sad face and sat Ally in her chair. Then she helped Olga with the dinner.

"So what happen?" Olga stopped.

"Nothing, he asked me why I kissed him, but I just told him that I was acting." She continued like nothing happen.

"Helga, if you continue like this nothing will happen, but if you tell him…." Helga turned to Olga a little bit angry

"No. I won't, because if I do, he will reject me. And I won't stand it." Olga hugged her.

"If you never try, you'll never know. Just talk to him. Tell him that you need something important, and if he rejects you be calm, you'll move on, I know."

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely, now let's get done with this." They finished the dinner, washed the dishes and then they saw a movie. Olga went to bed with Ally, and Helga was writing in her pink book. 'Maybe Olga is right. I'll just gonna tell him, and acted really calm if he rejects me. Oh crimany! How I'm gonna do this?' She falls asleep.

The next day, was the day. She'll finally tell him.
