Chapter 4 "Every little thing she does is magic"
(Though I've tried before to tell her, of the feeling's I have for her in my heart, every time that I come near her, I just lose my nerve, as I've done form the start.
Every little thing she does is magic…)-"Every little thing she does is magic" by: The Police-
Arnold woke up and turned his alarm off and got ready for school. As he went down stairs he saw his grandma and grandpa standing with a letter in their hands. "Umm…short man we have some bad news. We have to move tomorrow." Grandpa said sadly. "No Grandpa we can't move, I have two weeks of school left and I graduate and it's not fair!!" Arnold screamed. "We have to but when everything is settled you can come back here and live." "It's not fair" Arnold said tearfully as he ran out of the house.
Arnold couldn't believe just what happened, he finally has the guts to tell Helga how he feels and now he has to leave. When he got to school, he found Gerald and told him the bad news. "Geez man, I'm going to miss you, but you are going to write to me every day right?" "Yes Gerald, I promise" Arnold and Gerald hugged each other. After that Arnold told stinky, Harold, Sid, Eugene, Chris and brainy. They all promised they were going to see him off tomorrow and they told him how much they would miss him.
Arnold later found Sara sitting at her lunch table alone and went up to her and took a seat. "Hey Sara" "Oh, hey Arnold, nice singing you did up there on stage Friday night." "Thanks, but I have to hand it to you, were you pretty amazing on the piano" "Thanks Arnold" "Umm…have you seen Helga?" "No not since yesterday" "Oh, well I gotta find Helga and tell her," Sara looked at Arnold and then it finally hit her, he liked Arnold. "Arnold, I hope you know that Helga does care and I think even loves you. And the song she sang was for you." Sara said with a smile. "I know you like her too and I think it's wonderful. She's liked you since preschool. But don't worry, she'll show up." Arnold looked at Sara; he was amazed at what she had just told him. "Sara you are an amazing and wonderful person and I thank you for everything, and Chris is deeply sorry for what he did and he wants you to give him a second chance," Arnold said with a smile. "Oh Arnold I'm gonna miss you" Sara said while giving Arnold a hug. "I'm gonna miss you too" "Good bye Arnold," Sara said tearfully. "Good bye Sara" Arnold said sadly as well.
Lunch was over and Sara bumped into Chris. "I'm sorry Chr…" Sara took a step back and put her head down. "Sara please look at me," he said while her chin. As their eyes met, tears just rolled out of her eyes and into his hands. "I'm sorry Sara, no words can describe how much I miss you and how I just want you to give me another chance. Nothing can ever make up for how I treated you, okay, I was wrong, but you know we all make mistakes and we sometimes have to learn how to forgive and forget. I swear I'll never hurt you again. Please Sara!" Sara just stared at him. "Excuse me, Chris I need to see you in my office immediately" Mrs. Roseanne said. "But can't I just…" "No, now, Sara go to your class!!" Sara quickly went to her class. Chris followed the principle to the office where he took a seat. "Umm.Chris I was checking your records from the last couple of days and although you have passed all of your classes but because of your lates and absences we have to suspend you for two weeks. And yes I know you will miss your graduation we will send you your diploma in the mail. I'm very sorry but you knew the policy, that'll be all thank you." "I understand" Chris said sadly as he walked out of the office. He grabbed his belonging from his locker and headed towards Sara's class, just to see her one last time. As he stood in front of the door, looking through the window she spotted him and looked at him. When their eyes met tears quickly fell from both of their eyes and she turned away. And with that Chris grabbed his book bag and left the school. If only Sara knew that would be the last time she would ever see Chris again.
When school ended Sara found Helga sitting on her porch. "Helga, what is it? Why are you crying?" Helga just grabbed Sara and hugged her. "I can't stand my father, every night he's drunk and I'm so upset about Arnold." Helga said tearfully. "Helga, the song Arnold sang was for you, not for Lila and I'm also very sorry but Arnold is leaving tomorrow for Kentucky and he was looking for you today." "He was, and the song was for me!!" Helga said dreamily. "Wait did you just say he's moving?" "I'm afraid so" "NO he can't leave, it's not fair, I mean we have about 1 week of school left and then we graduate, nooo…" Helga began to cry. "He wants you to see him off tomorrow" "I'm sorry Sara but I need to go home and let this all sink in, please excuse me." "Call me if you need me Helga." With that Helga walked away. She walked to the park where she climbed her favorite tree and laid on the branch and pulls out her little pink book.
Dear Diary, oh my darling love, how I love thee, Arnold please do not leave me, leaving me in the depths of my despair, leaving me to drown in my river of tears that I have cried, please do not take my heart then leave me here alone to face this world by myself. Oh dear Arnold I do not want to say good bye but I'll take my chance and tell you my love for you is true.
Helga
