Arnold must choose between the certain reality of life with Lila and childhood fantasy when Helga returns to Hillwood after twelve years when her mother passes away. His heart and mind play tug of war with his life... who will be the victor?

Full summary inside. Where Arnold and Helga meet in their senior year due to her constantly moving around. Arnold is his normal self. Helga is more her natural self where she can be both sweet & still be blunt when need be. There is fluff, bad language, sexual tension, and some bad things that occur. They're taking a journey through high school life before reaching the jungle.

Helga, a struggling journalist is desperate for a hit article so she lets her couple's therapist roommate, Rhonda write just one article for her. But what happens with this one article, isn't exactly what she knew she wanted.

Arnold and Helga don't hang out like they use to. Arnold will try getting reacquainted with her after finding himself intrigued when he finds her sitting in the park one day. They are now seniors in high school. Sorry for the lousy summary.
