Reunited
(Arnold's POV)
` Oh, crap,' Arnold thought as he was walking to school on Monday morning. ` I'm dead starting... now,' he thought. Today was the day he would see Helga again, and today was the day he would start to live in hell...again. Helga had been so evil before she moved, it was one of the happiest days of his life when she finally did. Slowly, completely dreading what horrors await him inside, he walked up the stairs to school.
(Hallie's POV)
I'm nervous. I'm nervous. Oh, god I'm so nervous I could puke. Why am I so nervous, you ask? Why? Because. Today is the day I see Arnold after six years. What if he's changed? What if he still doesn't like me? What if I'm not pretty enough? Or smart enough? Or what if he has a girlfriend? Probably does. I know whom, too. Lila. He always had a crush on Lila, after Ruth, that is. Oh, how I hate Lila's perfect guts ever so much! Ugh. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. Oh, god. I'm so nervous I could puke.
(Lunch line at school)
Arnold and Gerald were standing in line waiting for their pizza. Phoebe and Hallie were getting a soda nearby. As Arnold and Gerald got out of line, Gerald looked around for Phoebe. When Arnold spotted her first, he noticed a VERY pretty girl talking to her.
" Gerald, who's that talking to Phoebe?"
" I dunno, man. Wait here and I'll find out." Gerald left Arnold standing there drooling, and made a beeline for his girlfriend. "Hey, Pheebs, whos your... oh shit, Helga?"
" Hallie, and why do you care, not-so-tall-hair boy?" Helga snapped.
" Well, normally I wouldn't, but I wanted to say hi to my girlfriend and wanted to be polite. Plus, Arnold wanted to know who you were." Gerald replied cooly.
" Foot ball head? Why would he care? And, if he really wanted to know, why didn't he come over here himself?" Hallie asked, apparently annoyed.
" Well, see, he would, but he was too busy mopping up all his drool," Gerald said while laughing and pointing to Arnold. Sure enough, there he was, standing there and staring at Hallie. She told Phoebe to wait a minute, and walked over to Arnold, a small smile playing on her lips. `Oh, good! He doesn't recognize me!' She thought to herself.
" What are you staring at, football head?" she asked.
" Football head? Why would you... huh?" he asked, in Hallie's opinion, quite stupidly.
" I'm Hallie. I'm new." She introduced herself. `Well, its not a lie...' she thought.
" I'm Arnold."
" I know." She replied, now wearing a frown where a playful smile should have been.
" How'd you know my name? And Why did you call me football head? Only one person has ever called me football head and that was..."
" Me." Arnold stared at her unbelievingly.
" How? What? How? Helga?" he asked, babbling.
" Doi. Just said football head. You maybe older, but that doesn't mean you have to be smarter, which in this case you're not." Hallie quipped.
" Oh, and by the way, my name is Hallie. Anyone who calls me Helga gets aquatinted with ol' Betsy here. Got it?"
Arnold nodded and asked, " So, what was it like in California?"
" Not that you would care, but, good. I miss it. I miss Liz and Stacey and Will and Wills. I REALLY miss Gwen, though."
" Who's Gwen?" Arnold asked with interest.
" My best friend. There. My best friend THERE. Pheebs is my best friend HERE. Uh, I gotta go. Bye." She added hastily, wanting to get away.
` Well, she's not THAT bad.' Arnold thought to himself. ` And she's prettier, too. Not gorgeous, but... oh you the hell am I kidding? She IS gorgeous! She's just a bitch, that's all. Though no where near as mean as she used to be. Hallie, huh? I like it. Suits her.'
( A/N: chapter three will be up soon. Just gotta get through this week, and through the weekend. Four hours in a car with four other people! Ugh. Yosemite trip. Anyway, preview (gonna start adding these): Arnold and Hallie are partners on a health project. What is it? They have to live each other's lives for a week. Arnold sees why Hallie is the way she is. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE REVIEW! I wont post chapter three till I get five reviews! Only two more! And it's REALLY good. I have it here with me. G2g.
