Helga was feeling so happy at last Arnold was showing some kindness her way. She looked over at Lila who was crying heh what a cry baby she thought. After class Arnold turned to Helga and said.
Arnold: "You ready Helga?"
Helga: "Uh,yeah I am."
Arnold: "Ok then, let`s go. (he said offering his arm to her)
Helga was shocked but she was thrilled at the same time, she took his arm and together they walked to the bus. Lila saw Helga with Arnold and felt sudden anger. "It was Helga`s fault Arnold ditched me, I just know it!" she was very upset about this she decided she would confront Helga after Arnold left.
At the park Arnold and Helga were just sitting down when Arnold started to speak.
Arnold: "Helga, I.. I am curious as to why you were always torturing me is there a reason for that?"
Helga: "Well Arnold I...
Arnold: "You?"
Helga: "Oh I can`t say, it`s just too difficult!" (she said turning away blushing)
Arnold: "It`s ok Helga I understand, I was just wanting to know you`re reason for being such a bully."
Helga: "Arnold,it`s a very long story."
Arnold: "Ok, then why don`t you come over to my place tomorrow after school and we can talk."
Arnold: "Helga, I just wanna say I care even if you torture me everyday, I`m not gonna let that stop me from being your friend." I`ll always be here for you."
Helga: "Thanks, Arnold I appreciate your concern."
Arnold: "Hey what are friends for." (he said smiling and gave her a hug)
Helga: "Thanks, I better get home before dad gets mad."
Arnold: "Could I maybe walk you home?"
Helga: "I guess, if you want."
Arnold: "Sure I do." (he said giving her a warm smile)
Helga started thinking everything was gonna work out she was doing her best to hide the fact that she was blushing sure he was being nice but she just wasn`t ready to confess yet besides it may happen the other way.



Lila was watching Helga and Arnold as they walked towards Helga`s house. She wanted to confront Helga but with Arnold there it wouldn`t be easy,so she decided to wait til after Arnold left, she hid in a bush close by Helga`s house.
Arnold: "Well I guess I`ll see you tomorrow Helga."
Helga: "Oh no!" (she groaned) "My parents left and forgot to leave the key to the house, argh!"
Arnold: "Well is there any way you could get in?"
Helga: "I`ll try my bedroom window" (she went around to where her bedroom window was, Arnold followed her)
Arnold: "I could stay with you til your parents got home if you want."
Helga: "Sure Arnold if you really want to."
Arnold: "Of course I do!" (he said with a smile) "I`ll call my grandparents and let them know."
Helga: "Ok, (she opened the window climbed in she kept the window open while Arnold climbed in then she closed and locked it)
They walked into the living room Helga sat on the couch and turned on the t.v. while Arnold went to call his grandparents. Soon he came back and sat down beside her.
Arnold: " I can stay til your parents get home, they were ok with it."
Lila who was outside stepped out of the bush and very angrily walked home, the one chance she had and Arnold is still there with Helga, so she decided to confront Helga at school tomorrow.
Meanwhile Arnold and Helga were on the couch watching t.v. when Helga yawned and laid her head on Arnold`s shoulder, she soon fell asleep. Arnold looked over seeing Helga asleep on his shoulder he smiled then gently put his arm around her and continued watching tv. He started thinking maybe he was seeing the real Helga, and then it hit him could I be falling for her? Is this really happening? he had to think about that.
Helga soon woke up finding herself on Arnold`s chest and surprisingly he even had his arm around her too, she got to thinking maybe he has feelings for me too. So with tons of thoughts running through her mind she snuggled closer to Arnold and fell back asleep. Arnold noticed that Helga had snuggled closer to him, he just smiled and held Helga closer to him, deep in his mind he`s wondering if he could ever fall for someone like Helga, yet the way she was being so nice he thought maybe I am falling for her.
