Hi, everyone I know this chapter took longer then I would have liked but I've been struggling with this story. Hopefully you guys like it, and sorry for the update.
Chapter 7
I woke up to my alarm blaring in my ears.
'God when did I come to hate mornings' I thought.
I turned off my alarm and got out of bed. I went to look through my wardrobe.
"lets see should I get all dressed up. Ugh, but that requires so much work. hm... screw it" I said.
I pulled on some black skinny jeans. A pink form fitting t-shirt and a pair of my converse. I looked at my hair and contemplated on what to do with it. I tied my bow to a little section of the back of my hair and looked in the mirror. I groaned.
"Crimeny, why does it look so girly." I said to myself.
I took the bow out and deiced a ponytail would be best, since my hickey is gone now.
Once I tied up my hair using my bow I said to myself "is this really the best I can look. I mean I'm dating Arnold for pete sake. Oh my god I'm dating Arnold. I mean yeah we have been together for a while now, but school is a whole different ball game. Breath Helga, you must calm down. You already showed affection in front of Stinky and Sid whats the difference if everyone else sees. That's different I don't think I can handle being all affectionate in school. Why? Don't you want to tell the world he is your boyfriend. Well yeah. I really got to stop debating with myself out loud if someone heard me they would think I'm a basket case."
I sighed and walked down stairs. I grabbed an apple and walked out the door. It felt like it took seconds to get there when in reality it was a 30 minute walk. I took a deep breath and walked into the doors. I looked around seeing people slowly heading to class most look excited but some cringed with pain because they were back in school. I smirked and thought 'I can do this. Piece of cake.'
"Hi, Helga."
I jumped as I saw Arnold smiling at me.
"Hey, football head." I said trying not to sound nervous.
"How are you this morning." Arnold said getting closer to me.
I leaned back a little tugging at my shirt from the heat that was creeping up on me.
"you know I missed you over the weekend," Arnold whispered next to my ear.
I blushed a deep red and was about to swoon him.
When Gerald hit Arnolds shoulder saying "whats up my main man."
I breathed a sigh of relief as Phoebe came over to me.
"Greetings, Helga." She said with a beaming smile.
"hey, Pheebes" I said returning her smile.
We all started to walk to class together.
"So how was family time," She asked
"It was immensely painful, I swear if Dan wasn't there I would have drowned them all in the hotel pool. Well I would have drowned Dan to but that would be for a entirely different reason." I said as I thought back to what had happened.
We were all in the hummer as Olga rambled on about her life as Miriam and Bob listened as if it was the most interesting thing in the world, while me and Dan played the card game BS trying to out bluff each other.
I came out of my thought when Phoebe said "Well at least it wasn't entirely bad."
"what wasn't so bad," Gerald interrupted. They clearly were to busy talking about there own things to listen to are conversation.
"Helga's family trip she went on over the weekend." Phoebe answered.
"yeah, how did that go? you verily messaged me." Arnold chimed in.
"well you can thank good old Bob for that. He was to lazy to get a phone adapter from his business so I could charge my phone. Needless to say it left me with no way out from "family" time." I stated.
With that we all walked into the Gym ready to get P.E. Class over with. It was one of the few classes that we all had together. We sat down on numbers and waited for roll to get taken. After the teacher took roll the teacher said for us do four laps around the track then we could relax until class was over.
"Phoebe this will be so nice I haven't had a good run in a while." I told phoebe as I was stretching getting ready for the run.
"I bet. I wish I could be as athletic as you," Phoebe said with a smile.
"Your pretty fast when you want to be. Besides your amazingly smart. You don't need to be super athletic," I said returning the smile.
Gerald and Arnold came up to us.
Then Gerald said "you ready to race Helga."
"Oh, you want to race hair boy? Well bring it." I said smirking.
Arnold and Phoebe just looked at each other and shrugged.
"I guess will compete with you guys," Phoebe said getting ready to Run.
"Yeah, it will be fun." Arnold said.
"Ready, Set, Go!" we all yelled and ran. We had 4 laps to run so the all were pacing are sleves. I was at the front of the pack still keeping a good pace. We all started to pick up speed and Gerald started to catch up with me. I just smirked knowing there was no way he could beat me. We all finally were heading into are last lap. Gerald and Arnold were close behind me while Phoebe surprisingly was running right next to me, but that was fine. She would be the only one I wouldn't mind if I lose to. However it didn't last long before phoebe started to fall behind. I then went into a sprint. I knew I could make it around this track in a sprint any day of the week. Gerald and Arnold started to sprint as well. They both started to catch up to me. However Gerald started to lose his breath and to his own surprise he started to slow down. I just thought ha, I knew he wouldn't be able to keep up. I am surprised Arnold is keeping up with me. As we rounded the last corner, I looked at Arnold and he looked at me. He had such beautiful eyes. I quickly shook the thought as Arnold was smiling at me I returned the smile then knew I wouldn't let it end like this. I will stay on the top, even if that means beating my beloved. My smile started to twist into an evil grin as I used the last bit of strength I had passing Arnold and making it across the finish line. She leaned against they pole to catch herself from falling as Arnold finished. Arnold put his hands on his knees to try and catch his breath.
"How was that for a run, bucko." I said with a satisfactory smile on her face.
Arnold just smiled and came up to me.
He got really close and whispered, "How about I give you a reward." and with that he kissed me softly.
I blushed 5 shades of red. It was so nice though I couldn't help but melt into it. Unfortunately the kiss ended as Arnold pulled away. I yearned for more, but knew in the back of my mind that if he didn't break it we would both be in serious trouble. As Arnold went over to Gerald and Phoebe who decided to finish together. I quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed the kiss. Luckily everyone was to busy talking while they walked around the track to notice are little kiss. I was about to head over to where Arnold and the others where when I saw the football coach. Knowing this was my chance to go over and talk about trying out for the team. I jogged over to him and said "hey, coach Baxter."
he turned around coming face to face with me.
"Yes," he said while looking at his papers.
"I wanted to know when tryouts where for the football team." I said.
He looked up from his papers with one eyebrow raised. "listen girly I won't be having any jokes on my team. You'll get injured little girl. Now if you want to join something to get near the boys try the cheerleading team." He said
My face turned to my old scowl. "Now you listen hear coach. I'm not going to be on some prissy little cheerleading squad. I think your to scared that I will cream your dim witted boys. That still, shockingly enough get girlfriends considering there brain is the size of a pea! If your smarter then those jocks then you would know it would be highly irrational to not even let me try out." I stated with a scowl still on my face.
He seemed to be taken aback with my little outburst and said "fine if you want to try out and get yourself injured then be on this field ready to go tomorrow after school, but don't say I didn't warn you." and with that statement he walked away.
I smiled knowing I had won the argument. I walked over to the gang who was sitting on the bleachers.
"Okay, spill man. Why were you talking to coach Baxter? Phoebe won't tell us anything. She says it's your personal business." Gerald said looking at me.
"Well you don't think me being so calm and quiet was because I just magically changed. I had to take out my anger some how, so what better way then football. I've been playing since 5th grade. I was going to play last year, but I was away visiting Olga during that time and missed try outs." I said nonchalant.
"Man I knew you were doing something. There's no way you could just start acting all quiet like that for all this time." Gerald said.
"well there was another reason why I started to mellow out," I said starting to think about it.
"what's the other reasons." Gerald asked curiously.
"Nothing," I said shrugging off his question.
I looked over at Arnold and he looked at me. I could tell he was wondering what it was. I bit my lip wishing I would never have mentioned it. Luckily the bell rang signaling time for are next class. I let out a breath of relief as we walked to are next class. Me and Arnold walked together as he grabbed my hand and smiled at me. I tried to hide my blushing face behind my bangs as we headed to poetry. I sat against a window as Arnold sat in the desk next to me.
"I know you wanted to follow me to all my classes, but do you really want to take poetry." I said.
"Hey, I'm actually pretty good at poetry." he said.
"Oh okay, Arnold." I said in a sarcastic voice.
He just gave me one of those Arnold smiles and turned to face the teacher that just walked in.
She took roll then stated "Okay everyone this class period all of you are going to write a poem. I think a poem can really give you true insight about a person. So instead of talking about yourself you will write a poem. It can be anyway you want and of anything. Of course keep it school censored to an extent. Now all of you have 30 minutes to write. Get started."
I sat there thinking for a minute then started writing. Once time was called I set down my pen happy with what I wrote. People went one by one as there names were called. Not many people from the PS118 gang had this class. You had Nadine, Lila, me and Arnold. Nadine turn came up and her poem talked about how you bloom from a caterpillar to a butterfly how she wrote it though was actually quit good. Nadine's clothes are usually green and being Rhonda's best friend means she is up to date with the latest fashion, in her case it means pleated skirts and v-neck t-shirts. Her hair was blond with brown highlights and instead of 3 braids on each side. She let her hair down and put it in a Topsy tail hairstyle. After a few more people lila came up, and her poem was about a farm to city life. It was an okay poem. It was a little to literal, and im not just saying that because I'm not a fan of hers. Actually me and Lila are okay. We don't really talk, but she still hasn't told my seacrt. Well when it was a secret so were neutral with each other. Also she never comes on to Arnold. she was truly done with him after 4th grade, which helped ease the tension between me and her. Anyway her hair was now in side pigtails, she ditched the braids and let her hair loose which gave it a curly effect. She now hangs out mostly with Sheena and wears different green sundress most of the time. Again a few more people went then it was Arnold's turn.
I looked at him and thought 'this will be interesting.'
Arnold cleared his throat and started to say,
What is Courage?
Courage is...
Being responsible
Being proud of what you are
No matter how hard
Going that far
Courage is…
Never know as a zero
The true hearted hero
The bravest of them all
They will never fall
I looked at Arnold a little stunned I didn't think he could actually write, let alone poetry. I started to daze out thinking 'oh, my beloved football head. So good at everything. So perfect. Oh how I'm so lucky to have you.'
I was brought out of my thought when the teacher called my name. I stood up like everyone else and started to read my poem.
The moon comes out to play
Shinning bright lights through out the night
You wander through the streets
Step by step
Night by night
Falling for the fake light
The tricks of the moon come undone
Leaving you stranded
Broken
Not as one
What can you do
What can you say
That's what happens
when the moon comes out to play
Once I was done I sat back in my chair Arnold looked at me. I couldn't really tell what he was thinking but he was thinking about something that deals with me. I turned and looked at the clock.
'10 minutes left to go and just a few more people left,' I thought.
After everyone was done and the bell rang and the teacher let us leave. I headed out the door as Arnold followed right behind me. We walked over to are lockers and switched out our books.
"so did you like my poem," Arnold asked me.
"yeah, you surprised me football head your actually pretty good," I said as I closed my locker.
A bright smile formed on his face "thanks, Helga you did great to."
"Thanks. Now lets head to math wouldn't want to be late for calculus." I said in a sarcastic voice.
"Joy," Arnold said just as sarcastic.
I raised an eye brow at him and thought 'maybe I'm rubbing off on him because usually he will look on the bright side of things, but I guess there's no real bright side to calculus.'
The next few classes went by pretty fast and before I knew it, it was lunch time. Me, Arnold, and phoebe walked into the cafeteria and met up with Gerald in the lunch line. Unfortunately I was greeted by some boys in the lunch line while Arnold was greeted by some girls.
I groaned 'I don't want another year of boys fawning over me I already got the boy I want. Can't they just go away,' I thought.
We walked to the table and sat down. The group of people didn't leave us alone however. I looked over at Gerald and Phoebe. Gerald had his arm around Phoebe and whispered something in her ear. Phoebe only nodded at whatever he said or asked her.
"So Helga how was your break." said some guy.
'I don't even know who this person is' I thought.
I just rolled my eyes and stayed quiet. I looked over at Arnold and one of the girls that surrounded him was coming extremely close to Arnold. My blood was starting to boil. I could tell Arnold was uncomfortable, but was to nice to say anything. A guy ran his hand on my leg and my body tensed and I clinched my fist. I looked back over at Arnold. That same girl was slowly wrapping her arms around him. That's it!
I slapped the guys hand away from my leg he looked at me a little shocked I stood up fist still clinching and yelled "get your fucking hands off me. Why the fuck are you guys bothering me. Don't you guys get the hint the I'm ignoring you. Do you think I would have the slightest bit of interest in any of you. I just want to enjoy my damn lunch in piece!"
I slammed my fist against the metal table leaving a small dent. Then I swung my self around to face the girls.
"Get your slutty hands off my boyfriend. If any of you want to even get a foot near him I will rip out your intestines and make you eat it. Now all you can go fuck off!" with that I grabbed Arnold's arm and dragged him across the cafeteria.
Everyone seemed to be shocked besides the PS118 gang.
I heard Stinky say "well the old Helga's back." and then Rhonda say "I knew they would make her snap some day."
I just kept dragging Arnold through the cafeteria then out the door. When we made it outside the school building I faced. Arnold he just looked at me blank faced.
It made me feel even more irritated "and you Arnold. I thought you liked me. Heck I thought you loved me, but that must be wrong considering you let some slut snake her arms around you. I mean you didn't even care that some guys was trying to fill me up."
His face twisted into a frown as if he didn't know I was being filled up.
"also-" but before I could finish my rant he pressed his lips against me hard.
My eyes went wide but I couldn't help but kiss back wrapping my arms around him. He then spun me around and pushed me against the school building. He bit my lip, making me open up my mouth. He shoved his tongue in and roamed my mouth. Once he pulled away to breath. I asked still kind of dazed "what brought this on." He nibbled on my ear and then whispered "your mine, and just mine. If anyone is going to fill you up its going to be me." I blushed a dark red at the thought of Arnold feeling me up. My thought felt so real. Wait, real! I'm not dreaming this!
I felt Arnold's lips back on mine as I could feel his hands running up and down my leg. His hand slipped up my shirt and under my bra. He massaged my breast. It felt nice. He then pulled his hand away and started to play with my pants button. I could feel his bulge growing against my leg. Oh my God is this really going to- before I could finish my thought I heard a fake cough. Me and Arnold both faced to the direction it came from seeing Gerald shaking his head as Phoebe giggled. Arnold stepped away from me and gave a shy laugh rubbing the back of his neck.
"mm,mm,mm. Your lucky it was us that caught you and not some teacher." Gerald said.
Me and Arnold just blushed.
"You guys ready to head to class or should we give you more time." Gerald said grinning.
"ha, funny hair boy. Lets get going." I said.
then we all walked to are classes.
