Her whole world came tumbling down on her. It was only a disagreement, but she didn't expect it to change her life forever in the name of love. She'd put all that she was into exposure, and she wish she hadn't. Her boyfriend couldn't accept who she was as a person, which alone already called for a toxic relationship. It was bound to happen...she didn't expect it to be now...
And she didn't expect it to be in front of Arnold...
Her head was pounding and it felt like she was on fire. Bloodshed tears ran down her face as she forced her voice into play. "Daniel! Why do we have to talk about this now?!"
Arnold stopped in his tracks right after he closed his locker. Gerald walked over to his side, looking at the sight as well.
"Here they go again..." He mumbled. "It's probably going to blow over like last time."
Arnold sighed and rolled his eyes into the back of his head. Gerald did have a point. It seemed to happen at least once a week. He couldn't help but be reminded of when Helga used to argue with him, except they never actually dated. Although something seemed different about Helga and her boyfriend. It appears as if her boyfriend Daniel was the one who started arguments between them. Over the past few weeks, Helga had never been the one to raise her voice. It was him...and it gave Arnold a tiny feeling of bitterness towards him.
"Because I said so Helga!" Daniel exclaimed.
Helga ran her fingers through her hair with a stressed out look. "Ugh...Danny, all week long YOU have been on my case. And I don't know the heck why! I try to do nice things for you, and I don't expect you to do them in return because I like-like you. So I don't know what's the matter with you."
"What's the matter with me?! I tell you what's the matter, your attitude! You're too emotional and grumpy. I can't take it anymore! I'm breaking up with you blondie. I'd rather date your sister than you!" He threw a bouquet of roses at her and then stormed away.
Helga looked down at the ground where she imagined the roses were dying. As well as her heart. She felt a bunch of eyes staring directly at her in the hallway. She turned her head a little to see them all staring, but her heart dropped even more when she saw that Arnold, the boy she'd always wanted to go out with had seen the whole thing.
