~*Chapter 3: Stuck in a moment you can't get out of*~

"What was that all about?" Arnold asked Lila. "I mean, it was a pretty good kiss. but-Helga, by any chance, did you have anything to do with this?"

"Uh-" I froze. I lifted my hands up in different positions so it would be easier to explain. "No," I lied. Lila opened her mouth.

Arnold turned to Lila. He grasped her hand. "Arnold, I told you-you are not the special one.."

"Then why did you just kiss me?" demanded Arnold. "I mean, if you didn't like me-and tell me the truth, why did you do it?"

"Oh hell," I said. My hand automatically flew to my mouth. This is it. Arnold will never like me. He will always like stupid stupid Lila.

"Well. uh. I.. love you!" she lied.

"What?!" asked Arnold. "Lila, I know you don't love me." Arnold looked skeptical.

"I-I did it," I said, proudly. "I told Lila to do it-" I sighed, "it's a long story.'

"Helga, you know you can tell me!"

"What are you talking about, Arnoldo? I cannot tell you things like this!" my hands flew to my forehead.

"Helga," began Lila. "Just tell him. Everything."

"Everything?" asked Arnold. "Helga, what are you talking about?"

"Uh. I told Lila to kiss you because it made you happy and I wanted you happy because I love y-" stuck in a moment you can't get out of. Oh my lord! Do I realize what I am saying?! Maybe I should just make up a name.

"Helga!" said Arnold and Lila at the same time.

"Uh. I love a guy named Yoku-" I began, then Lila interrupted.

"Helga!" Lila cried.

"I love ya. Okay? I can't say you. Okay?! I love-" I looked at Lila's face and said, "you."

A/N: Told you! Short chapter, wasn't it? I am happy to say that Helga still does love Arnold, and she was stuck in a moment she couldn't get out of. and Lila was ratting her out!
