She LOVES ME!?!

Chapter 7 (YAY!)

Thursday...So beautiful, and the students of PS118 were so happy, because they had Friday off! One more day left! Then a 3 day weekend!! It was before morning announcements and everyone was already excited. Then Principal Wart's voice boomed through the speakers...He seemed...flustered? "A-Attention students! Today will be a half day! You will be getting out at 10am. Teachers, let your students use the class phone to inform their parents if necessary, then after school we will have to have a VERY important meeting! That is all." The speaker was heard shutting off, and Mr. Simmons class (along with the rest of the school) Erupted in cheers.

"Well, thats an unexpected surprise isn't it children?" Mr. Simmons smiled at all of them. "You can have free time while the others call their parents." The students erupted in conversation as the others went up to the phone to call their parents...But one boy wasn't talking to anyone...No, not Brainy, Arnold. He sighed, his mind drifting to Helga...AGAIN...And quite frankly, it was annoying the heck out of him. 'Gah! Dammit Helga, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!' This only caused a small headache to form and he sighed once again pressing his forehead against his desk.

"Heh, so now what Phoebs?"

Arnold's head snapped up at the sound of her voice and listened to the conversation, he had already given into the fact that he was going insane, and quite frankly, he didn't care...

Phoebe smiled at her best friend. "Well Helga, my parents are home all day...and they certainly enjoy your presence...I'm sure you can stay at my house until you have to go home..." The blonde girl seemed to think this over, but Arnold could tell she was faking it, she was excited, but would never show it. That's what would annoy him, the way she would hide things, and keep her distance from things she liked or wanted, but the way she always kept her distance, is the very thing that keeps his interest...

Helga shrugged. "Sure, why not? Were getting out at 10 right? Mom doesn't get home until 4...So I can stay until 3:30...That okay with you Phoebs?" The Japanese girl smiled and nodded. "Sure Helga!"

Arnold blinked, this was it!! It was the perfect opportunity!! 'She's not gonna be home for almost 5 hours!! Okay...All I have to do is sneak into her house...Go into her closet, and see if she has a shrine of me...I also have to check for volumes of poetry books...And If I don't find anything I'll forget about her, I SWEAR IT!' Arnold nodded to himself, looking confident. "Okay!"

All of a sudden, his smart, sensible side kicked in. "Okay Arnold, 3 things wrong with that plan, one, it's not sneaking, it's BREAKING AND ENTERING! You could go to juvy for that! Two, It's wrong to go through people's things! Especially her closet and private books! And Three, lets say you do find them...What if you get caught?'

Arnold frowned. 'No, I'm sick of listening to you! I'm going to break into her house, I'm going to find out if she really loves me!! And I WONT get caught!!'

'Fine, but you'll regret this.'

'Would you shut up for once?!?'

After school, Arnold hid behind the bushes and watched Helga, as she got into the car with Phoebe, the Japanese girl's father was driving. Once Arnold was sure they were gone, he headed for Helga's house, upon arriving, his picked up the stone next to the door, and under it was a key. He knew where it was because Helga had told him, but the thing is, she had amnesia since she was hit by a baseball, but she had somehow managed to remember where the key was...Anyway...

He made sure nobody was looking and unlocked the door, putting the key back, and walking into the house, locking the door behind him. He walked past the empty living room, and upstairs into Helga's room, he wasn't paying attention to anything else, Arnold was a man on a mission. He opened the closet and blinked when he just saw clothes. "Hmmm...Maybe it's behind the clothes? But I can't see...Ah! Light!" He reached up and clicked a light bulb, which illuminated the closet. Yes, he was talking to himself, but since nobody was there, nobody would judge him...

Arnold pushed the clothes away and his eyes widened. "...Holy crap." There it was, a shrine to him, his head made of a football, his hair, yellow feathers, his hat, a little blue cup. Behind his shrine were Christmas lights, that were shining pretty, and in front of the shrine, unlit sticks of incense, candles, and an open book, a pen on the ground next to it. To the right of the open book, were more books, and a boom box.

Arnold continued staring, his mouth agape. 'Heat of the moment thing huh? YEAH RIGHT!' Suddenly a small wave of euphoria engulfed him. "She...loves me? She really truly loves me?...I mean the shrine is a little creepy, but...Wow...Are...All these books really filled with poems of me?" He picked up the open book, which was almost full and he looked at the spine. "Volume 14!?!?" A small grin came to his lips. "Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do...Better start from Volume one..."

Helga sighed and looked at her watch, it was only 1:39pm. She could have stayed at Phoebe's house for another hour or two but Phoebe had forgotten that her family had to pick up her cousin from the airport, and sadly had to drop Helga off at her house. The blonde girl sighed. "Well...at least I'll have something to do...I have the itch to write..." She walked up to the front door, grabbed the key and opened the door, closing and locking it behind her, then headed upstairs...

Have you ever been so consumed in a book that you weren't aware of anything going on around you? Thats what Arnold was experiencing right now, he was on volume 14, he went four and a half hours, non stop reading, and enjoying every poem. And he was currently on her newest one. Oh Arnold, your my soul, my desire, my love, and my fire...

'This stuff is great! She's really talented!' Arnold continued reading as Helga walked into her room, and wordlessly headed for her closet and opening the door. Arnold heard that and looked up from the book, seeing Helga there. Her eyes widened. "Arnold!?!?!"

And then there was silence...They stared at each other, Helga seeing the 14th volume in his hands, and realizing he must have read every single volume...Arnold was in her room, in her closet, in her shrine of him, reading her books of poems about him...Thats when it hit her...

...And Helga screamed.

TBC!!!
(TO BE CONTINUED!!!)

Jenn: MUAHAHAHAHA! Yes hate me for the evil cliffie! (Sigh) I hope Arnold wasn't too OOC in this chapter. I've been getting very freaked out that I'm making him and Helga OOC. Thank you all so much for reading!
