Chapter 2: First day at school
"HELGA! HAZEL! WAKE UP! SCHOOL!" Olivia shouted all the way down stairs.
"COMING Olivia " Helga shouted back
Hazel was still asleep on the extra bed, listening to her MP3.
"Wake up Hazel" Helga said throwing her pillow at Hazel's face.
"Huh?" Hazel said sitting up on the bed. "Oh yea school!" she said jumping of the bed and running to get her cloths on. She had a purple I LOVE NYC t-shirt, blue jeans, purple sneakers and a purple bow on her short blond hair.
Helga looked at her in amazement, "how the heck did you do that so fast!" she asked with her mouth hanging open.
"Practice makes perfect!" Hazel answered happily, picking up her backpack and going downstairs.
"Uh, here we go" Helga said getting, wearing the exact same thing as Hazel, except no I LOVE NYC, and Helga's was pink.
Helga was heading downstairs and was greeted by Olivia, with her long blond hair with black streaks tied in a ponytail, she was swinging the car keys on her finger, and having a goofy grin on her face.
"What's with the keys Olivia" Helga asked.
"I'd thought that instead of taking that bus everyday, I would drive you to school why I'm here" Olivia said with a grin.
"Really?" Helga said with a big smile on her face.
"Yep, now come on it's time for you to go to school" Olivia said heading to the door.
Hazel and Helga walked down the driveway to see Olivia's black Mustang their all shining.
On the car ride all Hazel could talk about was school.
'I can't to meet everyone, last time I was her I only stayed for like 1 day, and I was sick so I had to stay inside so I couldn't meet anyone.
"I remember Hazel" Helga said with scowl, wishing that Hazel would just shut up already.
They finally arrived at the school.
"See ya baby sis, see ya baby cuz" Olivia said with waving and driving off.
Helga didn't know why, but she liked Olivia calling baby cuz in her cool New York accent than Olga calling her baby sister in her college girl high annoying voice.
When they steeped in the classroom everyone was starring at Helga and Hazel like they just reappeared in mid-air.
" AHH there are two Helga's!" Harold said crawling under his desk.
"No pig boy, I'm the real Helga, that's just my cousin" Helga said with an annoyance in her.
"Class please take your seats, we have a very special guest" said Mr. Simons standing next to Hazel. "Principal Wartz told me about Helga's cousin visiting, Helga would you please introduce your cousin to us please.
Helga scoffed. "Fine, this is my cousin Hazel, she's from New York, and I know you may think we're twins or something like that, but don't worry we're nothing alike.
Helga sat down at her desk with a bored expression on her face.
"Umm thank you Helga for that special introduction, Hazel would you like to say something special." Mr. Simmons said with a smile at Hazel.
Hazel smiled back and cleared her throat. "My name is Hazel Pataki, I was born and raised in New York, I like to play guitar and sing, and go to this big art school in New York, where my mom's a visual arts teacher, and my favorite colors purple.
The whole class had a confused look, except Helga, they're looking at Hazel in amazement. Especially Arnold. He had this dreamy look in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Okay thank you Hazel for introducing yourself" said Mr. Simmons. "You can take the seat next to Arnold, Arnold would you raise your hand so she knows who you are.
Arnold raised his hand, and Hazel started walking over to him he kept starring at her.
Hazel sat her backpack down in the desk. Arnold was still staring at her, she looked up and saw him, she gave him a smile and then started doing their assignment.
Arnold started blushing, and smiling more.
"Wow she has a nice smile" he thought stilling wearing the same goofy smile.
It was already lunch time, and all the girls could talk especially Rhonda.
"Wow an actual New Yorker, I went their before very charming little place. Rhonda said flipping her hair they're in the lunch line talking to each other.
"Yeah it's pretty cool my sister Olivia and I, used to go to go walking by the Empire State Building all the time, one thing about New York expect to see a million people. Hazel said laughing.
Hazel was all the boys could talk about too…
"Boy howdy what do you guys think of Hazel" Sid asked .
"She seems okay with me" Gerald said eating his sandwich.
"She's related to Helga, there's got to be something wrong with her" Harold said eating his 3rd Mr. Fudgy.
"I don't know Harold Miss Hazel seems pretty nice to me" said Stinky
"She's from New York, Broadway, dancing, plays" said Eugene not really paying attention to what the other boys were saying.
"What do you think about her Arnold?" Gerald asked nudging Arnold in the arm.
"Uh.. Well … you know.. She's okay I guess" Arnold said stuttering a little.
Gerald looked at his best friend with a raised eyebrow, then started to smile.
"Arnold, you like her don't you ?"
"WHAT? No I mean she's kind of pretty and she has these pretty brown eyes, and this really nice smile and …..
"Arnold ask her out you obviously you have a crush on her, just ask her out.
"What, no I mean she'll just say no, and call me football head, and….
"Arnold, she's not Helga, you met her and Helga even said their nothing alike, what have to got to lose?
"You're right Gerald, I'll just go up and ask her.
"Good boy, now go ask her" Gerald said smiling.
"Thanks Gerald" Arnold said smiling and getting up from the table.
"Hey Hazel, can I ask you something" Arnold said shaking.
Hazel looked and smiled at Arnold.
"Uh sure, is it Arnold?" she asked getting up.
"Yeah" Arnold said. "She remembered my name"
"Okay Arnold, what is it?"
"I know we just met, and you don't ever know me that well, but would you go out with me?" Arnold said it so fast he didn't know if he knew if she got all that.
"Sure, uh Wednesday night?" she asked smiling .
"Yea, sure see you then" Arnold said with the goofy smile on his face again.
"Okay, see you Arnold" Hazel said walking back to her table.
Arnold walked away smiling, "SHE SAID YES.]
