Chapter 3: No way
Helga told Wartz she wanted to go to San Lorenzo.
"Never heard about that place before. But you're the winner so…"
The principal picked up his phone and talked to the contest committee and told the same thing as Helga.
"The committee tells me they have an agreement with a hotel in San Lorenzo, so they approve your destination. As for the plane tickets, since the airline is the one giving the prize, all you have to do is show up next Monday at 6:00 am with your 5 companions and they will print the tickets right there. Flight's at 8:40 am. And you must be at the airport on Friday at 5 pm to come back to Hillwood" Wartz took a deep breath and said "Congratulations miss Pataki"
When Helga left school she went to the boarding house to tell Arnold the good news
"Oh Arnold, I know everything about your parents. Please accept this love gesture. Come with me to San Lorenzo and I will follow you every step of the way until you find them"
"Me? Traveling with you? No way" answered Arnold with disgust in his eyes and laughed at her.
Helga's fantasy was over. She started to feel nervous. What if he rejected her offer? She began to think how could everything go wrong. After all, she didn't have a plan. She did it all in a rush.
When she arrived at Arnold's house, she had already lost her bravery.
Feeling a bit sad she pulled off a paper of a notebook and wrote.
"If you want I'll lend you my trip, football head. I'm not going to such a lame place anyway. You can pick up your ticket at 6:20. Flight to San Lorenzo is at 8:40, next Monday. Then they will tell you the details". She made an envelope and wrote on it her beloved's name. After placing it on the mailbox, she left.
