Phoebe's Diary 4: by Anne O. Nimus
The next morning, Gerald
went to Phoebe's while Arnold went to Helga. They both had one question in
their minds. Earlier in the morning, the two agreed that they ask the question
as naturally as possible.
"Hey Phoebe!" Gerald said as
he and Phoebe started walking.
"Oh, hi Gerald! What brings
you here this early?"
"Uhh, nothing much. I was
just wondering…"
"Wondering about what?"
"You and Helga."
"Me and Helga? Why?"
"Well, there's this question
running through my mind."
"What is it?"
"How did you become best
friends?"
"Well, I…"
"You don't know?"
"Uhm, not really… but…"
At Helga's…
"What?! You came all the way
here just to know how I became Phoebe's best friend?! Criminey! You're wasting
my time!!"
"But Helga, I'm just
curious."
"I don't care football head!
It's like questioning how two enemies became best friends!!"
"No Helga it's not like
that."
"Well then how would you
want me to interpret it Arnold?!"
"I'm just curious that's-"
"Whatever football head!
This is a very personal topic and I'm not the only one involved in it so get
out of my room!"
"Okay Helga… I'm sorry for
everything that I did. " Arnold leaves the room and heads for the ice cream
parlor. There he met Gerald.
"Hey Gerald. So did Phoebe
answer?" Arnold said tired form his interview.
"Not at all. It's like she
doesn't want to answer."
"Yeah, and Helga's like
avoiding the issue. All I got from her was… her screams."
"Well then maybe we should
just let it go. It is kinda personal."
"Yeah, I guess your right Gerald.
That's their life and we shouldn't go inside it."
The two started eating their
banana splits.
Later that day at Phoebe's
room…

Dear Diary,
Something strange happened today and it bothered me the whole day! You
see, Gerald asked me how I became Helga's best friend and I didn't answer him
because … Oh! This is killing me!!
All right, I'll tell you how it all
started. You see, I came from a different state. Then one day, my parents
decided to live here so we did. I was still a kid who's in kindergarten and I
needed to go to school. And just like Lady Destiny would want it, I saw Helga.
Since I was a new student, I didn't know anyone. But it was Helga who became my
first friend and she was actually nice …in the beginning. She was the first
person who introduced herself to me. As time passed, she grew into what she is
right now, you know, ordering people and being a bully. But since she was like
that and all, she didn't get to have as many friends as I did, so I decided to
remain loyal to her. I pitied her so much. So, that's how I became Helga's best
friend.
I guess, people don't see Helga's
nice side. They can't see beyond the lines! I mean, everything has a reason
right? I know why she likes bullying Arnold, but I think and I know Arnold
doesn't know why. It's pretty obvious when Helga asks help from me for
something. And that something is Arnold. 'Cause when she states her problem
like, for example: 'I have an obsession and I can't seem to get over it, what
shall I do to get over it?' I ask her what it is and she says, 'Arn—I mean Ice
cream'. Then I help her. After giving her tips, she tells me, 'Phoebe, this conversation,
never happened.' So I go 'Forgetting!' And I tell you, I feel really stupid
saying that 'cause truth is, I don't forget our conversation! And to make the
long story short, Helga bullies Arnold because she likes him! Come on, Arnold
should've seen that a long time ago, I know lots of love stories like that. No
offense to Arnold but, he must be blind.
Oh, about this whole lovie dovey
thing, yeah, you're right. I really must get this out of my chest. I REALLY
LIKE GERALD!!! There, that feels so much better. I don't know how it started
diary! It's like magic! It suddenly comes to your life just like that. I
honestly think it was developed. Yeah it was developed. It feels so… oooohhhh!
I can go on and on about Gerald!
Oh, too bad, my mom's calling me. I
really have to go now. Bye diary! Tomorrow I promise to write… yes about
Gerald!!
Phoebe
