Sarah Brightman NOTE:I do not own this song. Or Hey Arnold. I
just thought it would make a cool fic!
Helga Pataki stomped out of the school one fall
afternoon. She looked for a football head to taunt and torture. She secretly
loved him. But never told a soul. Or else, she would have to die. Well,
not literaly. But she would feel like it. She saw Arnold, (the football
head), pass by her. His beautiful green eyes, and cottonflower hair. Helga
thought:
When he passes me by He's a ray of light Like
the first drop of sun From the sky.
And I knows he's a king Who deserves a queen.
But I am not a queen And he doesn't see me.
"ARGH!" Helga and Arnold toppled over each other.
"Hey! Watch where you're going, football head!"
"You ran into me, Helga."
"Yeah, well, so what!? See you in the funny papers,
Arnoldo!" Helga stomped off and met up with Phoebe.
"That Helga, Pataki," Gerald, Arnolds best friend,
said, "She is always messin' wit you man!"
"Yeah, well," Arnold said, "I guess. But what
can I do about it, Gerald?"
"You're a bold kid, man!"
Helga met up with Phoebe and waited with her
by the bus stop.
"Are you going to Rhondas party tonight, Helga?"
Said her mousy best friend. Who always wore big blue and green glasses.
"Yeah, I guess. I have nothing else better to
do. Big Bob is going to be hogging the TV since he just finished his new
beeper commercial. And Mariam is going to be sleeping on the ketchin table
with drool.And I guess since all my friends, you Phoebe, is going, then
I might as well go too."
"A well rounded argument, Helga!"
"Yeah, yeah, quit sucking up." Phoebebeamed up
at Helga.
That night Helga got ready in her finest dress.
The truth wasnt that her night was going to be boring. Actually, ig Bob
Patakis commercail came out a week ago. Andshe would rather stay at home
then to be at Rhondas with her geeky classmates. The truth was, Arnold
was going to be there. And thats the only reason she was going to go. She
rode the bus to Rhondas, and went inside. There was Arnold on the dance
floor. With someother people, but she cuoldnt tell since her fcus was on
a certain blond boy....
When he dances he moves me to a smile.
I see everything Near his shine
Helga walked over to Arnold. She was going to
ask him to dance. All her courage worked up. Until, she tripped and fell
right in front of Arnold!!!!!Helga was misserable. Everyone was laughing!
There's a grace in his ways
That I can't contain.
I have not that grace
Oh, I havent that grace
Arnold bent down to Helga to help her up. Helga
was turning so red! She couldnt stand it. She stood up and faced him. The
tesion was so thick...
And the closer he gets
I can't help but hide
So ashamed
Of my body and voice
There are boundaries
We pass in spite of the war
But our own
We can't seem to cross
"Hey! Watch it, football head! Get out of my
way! Criminey!" Arnold looked surprise by this common outburst. She stomped
off, not looking back once to see the hurt look on his handsom face. When
he turned around she thought for a moment. But pushed the thoughts away.
He has a way that surrounds her
So delicate
With a glory that reigns in her life
He is also so much that she is not
These things they don't see
...And he doesn't see me
Ohh ...
And he doesn't see me.
Helga walked outside for a moment. The courage,
the embaressment, the anger. She had enough for one night. Even though
it only began. Helga looked up at the waxed moon. The honey glow reminded
her of Arnolds cornflower hair. She thought as she wished upon the stars.
The same thoughts came back to her. They were deep like a poem. A poemlike
shes never written before:
There are things we can change
If we just choose to fight
But the walls of injustice are high
When he passes me by
He's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun
From the sky
And I knows he's a king
Who deserves a queen
Someone other than me
So different from me
Oh...
He doesn't see me
Helga turned to go. She saw her beloved dancing
to the modern music of Rhondas new stero system. Phoebe and Gerald together
talking in the corner. Everyone so happy, but her.
Oh ...
He doesn't see me.....
But one day, He will.
