Riceface:That didn't make any sense, and you seem kinda freaky ;p lol, hope you like this one.

Iggy:You can crush on the chubby girl ...

"There she is." He told the boys as they saw the girl Iggy's been crushing on ever since they came back from their thanksgiving holidays.

Iggy first thought she was new to Hillwood Jr. high but turns out she's been around since the beginning of the year.

"She's … fat!." Sid blurted out.

Iggy blinked at him and then looked back at his crush. He was right, she was … chubby. It's not like he's never noticed her weight before it's just that he never really 'noticed' it.

Cindy nudged Sid in the ribs. "Don't say that!."

"Well it's true." Stinky told her.

The short skinny girl turned to face him and placed her hands on her hips, "But she's like any other girl. She has feelings."

"She's right 'nose-boys'. How would you like it if someone made fun of your 'pretty' noses?." Helga sided Cindy.

"Boy howdy! Helga actually defended someone despite the way they look!."

"Wilikers Sid! I'm as surprised as you are. I reckon runnin' around with Cindy does have its benefits." Stinky scratched his head.

Helga just gave them a scowl.

"Did you get her name Iggy?." Lila asked.

"N-no, not really." He shook his head. "All I know is that she's British."

"I always saw her at the library." Phoebe remembered.

Maybe that's why he never saw her during lunch time.

"W-what books does she read?." Iggy started getting curious. During his eight month crush on her, all he knew about her was that she was foreign ... and she was part of the school band. She played the tuba. He remembers how he loved listening to her play.
He'd hide behind the bleachers after school where she'd sometimes sit alone and practice while she waited for her father to come pick her up.
That's it! That's all he knew!.
She never really hung out with anyone at school. So far the only person he's seen her hang out with was that thin blonde boy sitting with her at Slausen's. They were both sitting there, talking and laughing.

"You think he's her … boyfriend?." Iggy struggled to blurt out the last word.

"We'll have to go and check." Arnold suggested.

"How do we-."Before he could continue he felt himself being pulled over to Slausen's where his crush and whoever that kid was, were sitting.

The little bell at the door rang but it didn't grab anyone's attention in the parlor. Not even the lanky teen boy working at the counter.

"Let's sit there." Arnold whispered pointing to the table right behind the one that girl was sitting at.

He gulped, but followed Arnold anyway.

"Can you hear what they're saying?." Iggy whispered his question.

"No. Maybe we should go up and talk to her."

"What? are you crazy?." He was glad he was still whispering. He looked over at her to see if she's noticed his sudden outburst, thankfully she didn't. "What are we gonna say?." He calmed down.

"You said she was in our school, and since it's the second month of summer vacation now she's probably out of ideas on how to spend her summer. We could offer to hang out with us and the gang, that way you two could get to know each other more."

"Are you forgetting something Arnold?. That kid could be her boyfriend!."

"I don't know," Arnold observed them. "They don't act like they're dating. Maybe they're just friends. Come on, let's go." He tugged at his arm.

"Just … just gimme a few seconds." He seriously was starting to hyperventilate.

"Iggy? You ok?."

"I'm good." He finally stood up and mustered the courage to go walk up to her. Arnold smiled at his friend and followed him.

'This is it Iggy 'ol boy. Just walk up to her and say: Hi, aren't you in Hillwood Jr. high? And then introduce her to Arnold and-'

'WHAM!' Iggy slammed into the waiter who was carrying a tray of milkshakes. It was a mess! Milkshake was spilled all over the floor, some spilled on a few customers and him.

"Iggy are you alright?." Arnold rushed towards him.

Right now, all he could feel was a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he found her eyes staring at him.
She too had little splats of milkshake on her face.

Iggy felt everything spin uncontrollably around him and muffled voices got louder and louder, he couldn't take it anymore. He had o leave!.

"Iggy!." Arnold ran after his friend but was stopped by the manager.

"Who's gonna pay for this mess?." The mustached man folded his arms and tapped his foot impatiently on the floor.

Arnold took out a $20 bill and handed it to him before running out of the ice cream parlor towards his friend who had hidden in an alley nearby.

"Iggy?." Arnold found him kneeling down and covering his face. It was evident how embarrassed he was.

The rest of the gang followed.

"Iggy what happened?." Phoebe asked concerned.

"I made a fool of myself!." You could sense tears in his voice.

"No kidding." Harold muttered.

"Now she'll never want to go out with me!."

"It wasn't your fault Iggy. It was an accident." Arnold tried to calm him down.

"Excuse me?." An English boy walked up to them.

They all looked at him.

The boy looked for Iggy. "You dropped your cell phone." He walked up to him.

Iggy got up and took his phone. "Thanks." He managed to blurt out.

The boy gives him a smile and then walks over to the girl. Iggy's crush.

She looks back at him over her shoulder. It was a look of concern, he sensed that she knew how it felt to be humiliated.

Iggy watches her walk away …

"I'm sorry I caused the milkshake to spill on you." His eyes widened. 'Did I just apologize to her?.'

She was just as surprised as he was. She blinked her eyes and gave him a shy smile. "No harm done." She told him blushingly and walked away.

"Iggy you did it!." Arnold told him as soon as they were out of earshot.

At that moment all he could hear were his heartbeats. 'I did!'. He smiled to himself.

Now what? …
