Chelsey: "I was glad Arnold was there to help me along my new coming of the
neighborhood. 2 months passed after that time. Helga was being a bully to
me. But I befriended her and found out that she had a huge thing for
Arnold! Yeah, I was shocked. She only showed me her poems though, but in
time, she let me see her shrines, and her heart shaped locket that had a
recent picture of Arnold. But after I found out that Helga loved Arnold, I
wasn't planning on what was coming next.
(*Flashback*)
It was another afternoon at P.S. 118. Arnold and the gang were all in the 6th Grade now, except for Chelsey who was now in 7th. After school, Chelsey walked back to the boarding house. Arnold decided to go with her instead of riding to see why she didn't ride the bus that afternoon.
Arnold: "Hey, Chelsey. Can I walk back to the boarding house with you?" he questioned her hoping for a yes.
Chelsey: "Sure Arnold. I don't mind." She said.
A few minutes later.
Arnold: "How come you didn't ride the bus this afternoon?" he asked hesitantly.
Chelsey: " I forgot all of my money, so I couldn't have rode the bus without a bus fair."
Arnold: "You could've asked me for some money. I would have been glad to lend you some."
Chelsey: 'Oh, thank you, but I don't like borrowing money unless I'm desperate. But I knew I could easily walk instead. It's good exercise."
Arnold: "Oh, OK."
Before they reached Gerald's Field, Arnold asked a question.
Arnold: "Hey Chelsey. Could you meet me at the park this afternoon at 5:30?"
Chelsey: "Sure Arnold. Why?"
Arnold: "I've got to tell you something."
Chelsey: "OK. See ya then. Bye."
Arnold and Chelsey parted in the hall going to their rooms. Chelsey didn't know what was going on, but later that day, Chelsey called Helga and told what she was going to do this afternoon.
The phone rings at the Patiki's. Helga hears here father's loud voice coming from the downstairs as Helga was reading wrestling magazines.
Bob: "Olga, Phone's for you!"
Helga: "It's Helga Dad! I've got it..." picks up the phone. "Hello? Oh, Hi Chelsey! What's up?"
Chelsey: "Hey Helga. A lot. Arnold asked me to see him at the park this afternoon at 5:30. He needs to tell me something."
Helga: "He did? What about?" she asked nervously.
Chesey: " I don't know, but, I was wondering, maybe you could spy on us, I wonder what he wants to talk about. Hmm."
Helga: "I don't know, but I'm game. You better get ready. Go early and I'll meet you there OK."
Chelsey: "OK. See ya there. Bye Helga."
Helga: See ya Chels.
Helga hung up the phone and got ready to go. I wonder what he wants to talk about? She shrugs it, and gets ready to go to the park.
At 5:30 Arnold walks through the park and sees Chelsey sitting at the bench waiting for him. Although he doesn't know it, but Helga was hiding in the bushes listening to their conversation.
Arnold: "Chelsey, there's something I need to tell you."
Chelsey: " OK, Shoot."
Arnold: "OK, here it is. I have liked you, like you ever since, you've came here. I just took now to tell you this."
Chelsey is shocked at what she hears, Helga too. Helga feels heartbroken.
Chelsey: " I... I'm sorry Arnold, Did you say that you. you liked me, liked me?
Arnold: "Yes I did. I do. It's true! I just hope that you feel the same way too."
Chelsey takes Arnold's hand and tells Arnold how she feels.
Chelsey: "Arnold, I like you a lot, I really do, but I don't like you, like you. I'm sorry, Arnold, I like you as my best friend. And I love you like a brother. I'm sorry, I didn't know you had feelings for me."
Arnold's head sank low.
Chelsey: "There's someone out there who is the right one for you. She is out there and closer than you think. She' out there, right in front of your eyes, but it is hard to see her or feel her presence. She's close to you physically, but she's far away from you emotionally. You'll find her soon; I already have someone out there for me to. Arnold, if it is meant for you and me to be together, I will see it, but I don't think it is, but who knows? Maybe time will tell, you'll never know."
With that, Chelsey gave Arnold a kiss on the Cheek, and left. Arnold was still there, trying to hold back tears. When she left, Arnold's tears came running down his cheeks. Helga left the bushes, and came walking by casually and asked what was wrong, and Arnold told her what happened, and Helga tried to comfort him, and he was glad to have a friend to comfort him, even if it was Helga.
Wow! What an amazing turn of events. Watch out for Chapter 3: The H.S. 118.
