Chapter 7:
"Wait.. Tell that to me one more time" said Haze walking to their classroom.
"You… hate… Arnie" said Helga like it was obvious.
"See that's where you keep losing me, what do you mean I hate Arnie?" said Hazel.
"I mean I hate Arnie, and since I'm suppose to be you and you're suppose to be me then that means you hate Arnie too" said Helga.
"But I don't hate Arnie, what's there to hate about him?" asked Hazel.
"Well lets see there's.. well… EVERYTHING!" yelled Helga.
"C'mon Helga, he's not that bad, he's as normal as you and me" said Hazel.
"You know? Sometimes I wonder if we're related" said Helga.
"Helga just trust me" said Hazel.
"Ok, so he wants to meet me… or you… whatever!" said Helga.
"Yeah, it would mean the world to me if you could act like me, and be nice to Arnie" said Hazel pleading.
"Fine, when do you want us to meet.. Again " said Helga.
"Today at lunch, we'll all sit together, you, me, Arnold, and Arnie" said Hazel smiling.
"Great" said Helga dully.
When they arrived at their classroom there was a substitute sitting in the teacher's desk reading a newspaper, and written on the board was:
"Mr. Reynolds, do whatever"
Helga and Hazel sat down and Arnold was passing notes to Helga.
"Hey Hazel"
Helga got out her pencil.
"Hey Arnold"
"What do you think about Arnie and Helga?"
"Their a nice couple, have they got along in the past?"
"Well.. Uh.. They could've been closer?"
"Oh I see. Did Arnie tell you about the date
"What date?"
"The one Helga and Arnie are going on"
"Helga's on a date… with Arnie?"
"Yeah"
"Oh that's um… nice?"
"What wrong"
"Nothing!, nothing"
"Ok? Oh and Helga wants us all to sit next to each other, she wants me to meet Arnie"
"Great"
"There it is again, what's wrong"
"Nothing, why do you think something's wrong?"
"You keep acting like you don't want Helga and Arnie together"
"I just don't think Arnie's.. well the one for Helga"
"Really, why"
"Well, he's kind of boring, and she's the complete opposite of boring, and Helga's never liked Arnie before what made her change?"
"Well, um people can change?"
Arnold looked over at Arnie and Hazel. Arnie was passing notes to Hazel, and Hazel was just scowling at him, which made Arnie like her even more. Arnold sighed.
"Yeah I guess people can change"
Lunch time finally came and Helga, Hazel, Arnold, and Arnie all sat next to each other.
Hazel bit right into her sandwich and ignored all 3 of them, until Arnie finally tapped her on the shoulder.
"Um Helga shouldn't you introduce me to your cousin?" said Arnie.
Hazel looked up from her sandwich.
"Oh yeah, Arnie that's Hazel, Hazel that's Arnie" said Hazel pretending like she didn't care.
"Nice to meet you" said Helga putting out her hand and smiling.
Arnie just stared at her with big eyes, with his mouth wide opened.
"Are you guys like twins? You look exactly alike!" said Arnie who was talking out of his non monotone voice.
"No were cousins" said Helga.
"Oh, then hey" said Arnie going back to his old voice.
"Weirdo" thought Helga.
"So, Arnie what do you like to do?" said Helga.
"I collect lint" said Arnie.
"Oh that's…. cool?" said Helga.
"Uh, how about we talk about this date?" said Arnold.
"We're just going to the movies" said Hazel shrugging.
"Oh.. Yeah.. That's nice" said Arnold.
"Yeah, I guess" said Hazel.
Helga was noticing something in Arnold's voice, something like jealousy. Was he actually jealous about Arnie and Hazel's date? That meant only one thing in Helga's mind.
Arnold had a crush on Helga.
What'd you think of the ending? Tell me everything, is it to weird?
