Chapter 4 Evil Twin

It's been so long since I didn't upload any chapter huh? I am really sorry for that, everyone! I hope you enjoy this chapter and I am sorry for wrong grammar or spell. I wrote this at 10:18pm so yeah. Enjoy! (I don't own Hey Arnold)

"It's okay if I sit beside you right?" Arnold asked Helga with a smile. They were now at theatre 4, where Evil Twin 4 would be played. The room was still bright and people were still looking for their seats. Helga blushed, awkward expression on her face.

"O-of course. I mean, where else would you sit then?" She said, trying to hide her excitement. Arnold nodded then sat beside her. Control yourself! Helga warned her heart. Helga looked around nervously, trying not to look at the man of her dreams. Her eyes landed at Phoebe that sat on her left. She was leaning slightly to Gerald. Gerald looked at her with eyes full of adoration. His hand rested awkwardly on her shoulder. How I wish I could be like them. Helga thought to herself, looking back at Arnold. Arnold was staring at the big screen in front of them, waiting for the room to get dark and the movie to start. This is your chance to talk to him, Helga! Her heart told her. She really wanted to just have a simple chat with him, but she didn't know what to say. Her mind was blank.

"Arnold." She said, sounding kind of stupid.

"Yeah?" He turned his head and looked at her.

Great, just great! Now why you have to open your mouth when you don't have anything to say? Helga screamed in her mind. "Err…the movie…the movie must be great!" Helga laughed with a high-pitch, sounding obviously nervous. She just hoped Arnold was dense enough to not notice it. What a way to start a conversation, Helga!

Arnold stared at her for a while then he started to laugh. "Yeah Helga, I think so." He said. "So you bought the popcorns?"

Helga nodded, giving him his popcorns. Before they went to the ticket booth, they made an agreement, the boys paid for the tickets and the girls bought the snacks. Arnold took the pack from Helga, his hand slightly brushed hers. He said thanks, and went back staring at the big screen. Helga sighed happily, unnoticed by Arnold. Finally the room was becoming dark, the big screen started to light up.

The movie was indeed, great. Helga could say that this was better than the previous Evil Twins. The story was clearer, not really confusing, and of course more blood and screaming. She often flinched or jumped on her seat, and Arnold did notice it. There was this scene when the killer crept behind the victim holding a knife, when suddenly the killer stabbed it right on her ear, unnoticed. Helga couldn't help but screaming, so did most of the people at the theatre. Realizing what she just did, she quickly closed her mouth with her hand.

"Scared, Helga?" Arnold asked with a laugh. Helga frowned and punched him lightly on his arm. He flinched and rubbed the place where she hit him.

"I AM not scared, Arnold. That was just….unexpected." She finished with a low voice. Arnold chuckled.

"Yeah, but I was not screaming."

"Ugh just shut up and watch!"

Helga had tried to make some conversations with Arnold, when the scene was not really important or just boring, which was rarely happened.

"Hey Arnold."

"Yeah?" he said.

"So who do you think will die," She said, pointing at the screen that now showing two high school girls talking, "That girl in blue, err…I forgot her name─"

"You mean Amanda?" he told her.

"Oh yeah that's her name huh? Uh who do you think will die, Amanda or Lisa?" She asked with a grin.

"Hmm I think it might be Amanda because you know Larry hates girls like …her." He said, looking thoughtful.

"You mean he hates bimbos."

"Err… yeah, if you want to call her that."

Amanda indeed looked like a bimbo, wearing a very short denim skirt and blue tops that showing too much stuff. And she got fake tan too.

"I think it would be Lisa." Helga suddenly said, fingers tapping her chin.

"Oh you think so?" Arnold sounded kind of excited, loving the conversation.

"Yep. Yeah I think it would be Lisa because she was not very good with Larry. Even if she's not acting like a slut but she always treat him bad since junior high school. She calls him names, hides his lunch box, steals his homeworks─"

"But I thought Lisa likes him?"

They didn't know what happen, but after Arnold asked that question, their eyes met. It was like they were talking without making any voice. Gosh, why the story…What the hell, I thought this was a horror movie? Helga couldn't even manage to finish her thought. Her mind was like trapped in his green gorgeous eyes. Finally Helga snapped out of it.

"Ugh yeah, yeah I remember some of her friends mentioned it before." She said too quickly, waving her hand wildly. "But it could be untrue or…ugh─ let's…let's just see what happen. It is more fun that way, huh? Heh heh"

"Yeah, alright Helga." He said softly, still looking at her. Maybe he still confused with the staring contest that had just happened. Helga blushed, slightly patting her cheeks as she tried to clear her head. They both finally completely looked back at the screen.

Helga hated this. She really hated this feeling when she was trying to concentrate but something was refusing to get out of her mind. In this case, it was Arnold. This movie was a movie that she really wanted to watch since forever but she just couldn't focus on it. Arnold, you're annoying sometimes, in a very amazing, incredible, lovely, and beautiful way Helga thought with a smile on her face.

The movie ended with Lisa being killed. The screen showed Lisa that was dragged into a dark woods by Larry. Before he could do anything to harm her, Lisa said desperately, trying to make Larry understand "I'm sorry for everything Larry. I do love you". Larry said with a narrowed eyes "Your love was not as big as my hate". Then he stabbed a big and sharp knife right to her chest, blood spilling everywhere.

It was a shocking scene for Helga, not because she's scared of it, but because it was just… matched. Matched with what was probably happening between her and Arnold. Maybe all those bad things she ever done to him was just… couldn't be forgiven. Her behaviour definitely couldn't be good proves that she did love him. That's why, Arnold never really paid attention, never really learnt of her feelings for him. Maybe it looked impossible for Arnold to believe that there was something more than the outer appearance. Even though Arnold told her that he knew she had a good heart, but for her to actually be in love with him, he wouldn't ever believe it.

"It seems like you are right, Helga" Arnold suddenly said. Helga snapped out of her thought.

"Oh yeah of course I am." She said with a small smirk.

"But wow. Larry is really a psycho isn't he? Lisa does love him but he ignores it all and just kills her like there's nothing between them" Arnold said.

"Well, there's actually nothing between them," Helga started "It's a one-sided love"

Silence, an uncomfortable one. Arnold stared at her as if he sensed that there was something more behind that statement she just said. But finally, he managed to say "Well yeah, but even though it's one-sided, it's not a reason for you to just kill someone, especially the one that loving you"

"Don't forget the fact that this girl bullied Larry since Junior High," Helga said, trying to hide her emotion "Larry must hated her so much"

Arnold didn't manage to reply that because the room suddenly lighten up. They both realized that the movie finally finished, the screen was showing the credits.

"Oh wow that was amazing!" Gerald told them both, approaching them with Phoebe following behind him.

"Yeah, it's pretty awesome." Arnold smiled to him.

"You enjoyed the movie, Helga?" Phoebe said to her while Helga stood up from her seat. Helga still looked a bit uneasy but she tried to give her best friend a small smile.

"I enjoyed it yeah. And you must be enjoying it way too much. Don't you even try to hide the fact that you and Gerald were holding hands until the movie finished, you lovebirds!"

Phoebe blushed and then laughs a little, trying to cover her nervousness. "Umm yes Helga I think I enjoyed it…" she giggled again "…way too much". Helga gave a knowing smirk to her.

"Well come on guys let's get out of here!" Gerald said, taking Phoebe's hand with him. They both walked in front of Helga and Arnold, leaving them behind again. "Those two," Helga said under her breath, didn't realize that Arnold's gaze was on her. But suddenly, Helga felt someone breathing near her ear. Helga gasped when Arnold whispered softly, "I never hate you"

Well how was that? REVIEW (it will trigger me to update!) THANKS!
