Chapter 2: Helga almost blabs it all

After Ms. Davidson's announcement, Helga headed for her house. "Bob er Dad! I'm home!"

"Oh, hey, Olga, look I got a new lucky belt!" Mr. Pataki said

"HELGA, dad, HELGA." Helga said.

Helga headed for her room and of course she would automatically go to her "love shrine". It's part of her "routine". But before she could go there, the phone rang.

"Hello, this is Helga Pataki speaking." Helga said into the receiver.

"Oh, hello, Helga, it is I, Lila. I am ever so happy to announce that—"

You're not the Queen of Scots you know.. Helga thought.

"Lila, not now. I'm kinda busy." Helga interrupted .

"Busy with what? Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that Arnold doesn't like me like me anymore. Remember, during the fourth grade you confessed to me your ever so romantic love for him during the ever so beautiful Shakespearean play. I am ever so certain you are happy with my oh so good news. He told me a while ago. Anyway, good luck with Arnold! Tata."

"Hakuna MaTATA. Kidding. Okay, whatever. This conversation, never happened. Ya hear me?" Helga said.

"I won't tell a soul."

After that Helga was jumping for joy that finally after 10 years, Arnold has finally given up on Li-la. (: After that she proceeded to the shrine.

Farewell for now, Heroic Prince.

Our yellow love chariot has arrived.

Gladly I go now to see to your delicious face.

Sadly I stash my passion deep in this secret pink place.

"Okay, this is probably a sign that Arnold's the guy for me. You're one step closer HELGA G. PATAKI. "

The next day, while Helga was walking to school, she saw Arnold with Gerald.

"Oh hello, Arnold and Gerald, whatever are you feeling while walking on this bright sunshiny, day? I am ever so certain that you chose not to take the bus, am I correct?"

"Helga, stop it with the Lila thing. It's making me sick." Arnold said.

"Well, watch your words, bucko, now get out of my way!" Helga said.

"What's with her?" Gerald asked.

"Women." Arnold said.

Wasn't that a hint? Arnold sometimes can be so stupid!! I can't believe he didn't recognize that I was indirectly telling him how I feel! ARGH!! My plan's not working. Oh well. I hope Ms. Davidson gives us a new project so I can tell him already.

(in class)

"Okay, let's start the day by giving you your first project with your permanent partners!" Ms. Davidson said.

YES! I hope Arnold's not mad at me for what I did to him this morning.

"You have to write a biography of your partner! This means, you have to interview him/her about his/her life. To make it easier for you, you can even let your partner visit your room/house and show him/her the things you treasure most. You can even have a sleepover. But take note, don't be too nosy to the point that you're already in her closet or something. Haha." Ms. Davidson said.

CLOSET? Oh…my…goodness.

"Hey, Helga, since you write better than me, can I go first? I mean let's go to your house, and you can show me the stuff that's important to you. Oh even maybe your closet. Just kidding."

"My closet? Uhhh, you see, I'm kind of busy.." what a lame excuse helga geraldine! Helga said.

"Hey football head, watch out it's Big Patty!" Helga said and ran as fast as she could.

"Hey, helga? Helga? Where did she go? Ah, whatever. Ill just surprise her at her own home." Arnold said.
