Hey Arnold: The Switch Chapter Two
Second chapter time! Let's read! Thank you for reviewing if you have! Also, thank you for being patient and sorry about the long wait!(:
It was Friday. A week sense Monday and many students were booming with excitement for the carnival, with exception of the boys that chose to go the next night. They were pretty bummed that they couldn't go right away but they figured anything would be better than being with Helga all night. Arnold and Gerald were not going to let Helga bring them down though. They were still excited for the carnival.
It was the end of the day and the students all looked at the clock waiting in anticipation, for the clock to turn four more little clicks and for the bell to ring. Mr. Simmons noticed this as he was finishing up his lecture.
"Now class, I know we're all excited for the carnival but we still have to learn…" Mr. Simmons was interrupted by the familiar sound of the school bell. The kids took this opportunity and dashed out of the classroom. Mr. Simmons sighed but then sat at his desk and rubbed his temples. He then pulled out his red pen and started to grade some papers.
"Things will never change, will they?" Mr. Simmons asked to no one in particular.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Arnold and Gerald were walking outside and saw that Helga was already there. They sighed.
"Remember Gerald, we should just try to be nice. It may work…you never know," Arnold said optimistically. Gerald sighed but nodded as well.
"We can try it but I don't see Phoebe! This night is probably going to be a be a bust!" Gerald complained. Just then, Gerald felt a light and gentle tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Phoebe.
"Why would it be a bust Gerald?" Phoebe asked in her mousy voice. Gerald shook his head.
"Did I say bust? I meant to say…blast! Yeah, blast…that is what I meant to say," Gerald stuttered. Phoebe giggled and walked to Helga.
"Where are the other losers, losers? I warned them about being late, didn't I?" Helga asked in a demanding tone of voice. Arnold nodded.
"You did… but the guys said they wanted to come another night because…" Arnold started to say but Gerald interrupted him.
"They were busy with family and chores and stuff like that. They couldn't make it but they told me to tell you that they said…sorry," Gerald said smoothly. Helga rolled her eyes at Gerald. While she wasn't paying attention, Gerald whispered to Arnold.
"We can't tell her why they didn't show up or she will be moody all night." Arnold nodded at his friends words.
"Anyway, we should get going. We don't want to get there to late or we won't get to do anything fun. Let's hit it." Helga started to walk with the other boys (and Phoebe) following behind her.
'This is going to be a very long night.' Arnold thought to himself as Helga spit into a trash can. Arnold sighed and kept walking.
