I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE HEY ARNOLD CHARACTERS.

Arnold's POV

So if Helga loves me, how do I feel about her?

I looked down at her face and I couldn't help but smile. She really is an amazing person to be able to hide her feelings for so long. She would hide under a bully façade but every once in a while she would show her true colors.

She has helped me multiple times and she was not even getting anything out of it. Well maybe she was trying to get closer to me in her own way.

Like she has helped me with the spelling be contest, the parents' day competition, saving Mighty Pete, and of course saving the neighborhood.

She always manages to cheer me up somehow. When Lila dumped me, she showed up out of nowhere and talked to me. Helga helped me to get my mind off of Lila and she was really sweet that day. While we were walking I couldn't help but think then that she would make a great girlfriend. She did make a great fake girlfriend; I had fun when we were trying to make Lila jealous. It did backfire though, we ended up making Arnie jealous and he wanted Helga. My jaw started to tighten when I thought about it. Arnie is so annoying, trying to force Helga to like him. I couldn't wait for him to leave.

I heard Helga whimper in her sleep. I looked to see her have a frown on her face; I wonder what she is dreaming about.

"Oh Arnold I wish you would love me, I am sorry for being such a horrible person to you. You are the first person to have noticed me, how could I not love you?"

I felt myself frown, what does she mean by that? How could I have been the first person to notice her? But then I remembered her family, and how they always ignore her. It's like she is invisible to them. All you ever her them call her is Olga which is so stupid. My fist started to tighten at the thought of how they mistreat her, she deserves so much better than that. She started shivering in her sleep so I decided to lay down with her to help warm her up a bit. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled the blanket over us,

"Kiss me Arnold" I heard Helga say. I felt my cheeks heating up. She wants me to kiss her? Maybe I should, what could be the harm in it. She is sleeping.

I leaned closer to Helga and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. She started to smile and said "I love you".

I kissed her on the forehead and cuddled closer to her. I don't know for sure if I am in love her but, I most definitely like her. I have never felt such strong feelings for a girl before in my life. Every girl I have ever liked was just a silly crush. I realized that I have been liking them for just looks With Ruth she was pretty but she turned out to be a snob along with those six grade girls I dated. Lila is pretty and nice, but she kind of got boring. She always turned me down and it kind of started to irritate me after a while. She says ever so too much and I can't believe I'm saying this but she's too nice. Plus she would rather be with someone like Arnie and I could and would never change my ways to act like him. Then there is Cecile, the girl I never saw again after our Valentine's Day date. She was beautiful, fun, smart, witty and exciting.

I looked down at Helga when I felt her stir a bit but then she relaxed again. Then I noticed something, Helga's hair kind of looks exactly like Cecile's. It is wavy and blonde and she has the same facial features as her. Her personality is the same too except for when she is being a bully. I remembered when I was trying to figure out who is Cecile; I still have her red shoe in my closet. I slowly unwrapped myself from Helga and went to get the shoe.

I decided to compare her white shoe size with the size of the red shoe. I didn't want to risk waking her up by putting the shoe on her foot. I looked and saw that shoe sizes are a perfect match.

Helga is Cecile!
