Best Friend Twist: Chapter Ten
I don't have much of an introduction to this cause for most of my chapters, I just wing it. Anyway, read on!
Gerald stopped eating and looked at Helga. His jaw was open. It was so wide open that food was dropping out of his mouth and onto the floor. Helga knew he would be surprised but not that surprised. She didn't expect for him to sit there staring at her for so long. Lunch was almost over by the time he finally closed his mouth and chewed what was left of his food. (Most of it was on the floor.)
"When you say you like… Arnold…do you mean…Arnold who was my best friend? Arnold who…" Gerald started babbling. Helga put a hand up to stop him from saying anything.
"Yes Gerald, I like…or rather love Arnold. I sort of always have but I guess that doesn't matter now that he's going out with my best friend!" Helga said that last part through clenched teeth. Gerald saw that she was mad too.
"This is a bit of a shock but…I can tell you're mad about the whole Phoebe and Arnold thing so I'm going to try to get over this shock and help you through this. I am mad too but…" Gerald started to say but was at a loss for words. He was in utter shock from the secret that had just been revealed to him mere minutes ago and he needed to help his new friend through this crisis as well as himself. He was in a big dilemma.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Arnold and Phoebe were sitting at a table together. They were watching Gerald and Helga talk and it almost seemed like they were flirting. Arnold and Phoebe thought that that made sense considering they were dating. Phoebe and Arnold were so mad, it was driving them crazy!
"What else should we do to get them mad? I don't even know if Helga knows that we're dating," Phoebe said with air quotes over the word dating because Phoebe and Arnold were pretending to date just to get back at Gerald and Helga. Arnold was starting to feel guilty considering he didn't want to hurt Helga. He did really like her after all!
"Maybe we should stop this. I mean, Gerald seemed pretty ticked off. Isn't that enough?" Arnold asked. Phoebe scowled.
"No! It's not enough. I haven't got my revenge on Helga yet. What if she doesn't know we're dating? She needs to know or the whole thing will be pointless. She knows how I feel about Gerald and look at what she's doing! She is dating my crush and she is just sitting with him and flirting. Did you see her shoving him softly? I didn't even know she could be so flirty! I think it's disgusting!" Phoebe complained. Arnold raised a brow.
"I don't know…maybe they aren't dating like I told you. Maybe they're just friends. We could be wrong," Arnold unsurely said. Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"Please, they are obviously dating! Look at them! I know they're dating! I just know it!" Phoebe yelled. Arnold looked over at Helga and Gerald. They were sitting a little close to each other. Gerald was patting her back…almost sympathetic. Arnold knew that friends weren't usually that touchy. Arnold was getting really jealous. He was about to explode!
"I know what we can do!" Arnold said with a sly grin on his face. His anger was bubbling inside the pit of his stomach. He wanted revenge times ten!
"What?" Phoebe asked. Arnold smiled very evil.
"We can kiss right in front of them," Arnold said. Phoebe nodded and matched Arnold's mischievous grin.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OOOOO….what's gonna happen next? Are they really going to kiss? I'm leaving you hanging again…sorry. I hope you got that Phoebe and Arnold are not really dating. They're just pretending to get revenge! *evil laugh* Also, Phoebe and Arnold think that Helga and Gerald are dating but again…not really dating! The only difference is Helga and Gerald are not getting revenge. They're just friends. (: Helga and Gerald are the good ones now. Kind of a switch. Hope you all like this! (:
