All in Your Head, Ch 10

"Bye Helga, see ya tomorrow." Arnold had walked Helga home and was now on his way to the boarding house.

"Ya, see ya Footballhead," Helga waved goodbye and shut the door.

Arnold smiled as he began to walk home. Helga wasn't so bad. He could tell she was trying to be nice, and maybe she would stop hiding from him.

He felt like someone was watching him. Turning around, he saw Lila standing behind him.

"Lila, why are you following me?"

"Oh, Arnold, I'm ever so sorry!" Lila cried and hugged him, but Arnold pushed her away, and kept on walking.

"Arnold, please. Why wont you listen to me?" she grabbed onto his arm, but he wouldn't turn around.

"Leave me alone, Lila. I don't like you." he rounded the corner and was gone.

Lila sighed and sat on the curb.



Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby

Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real

Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?

Why'd you turn away? Here's what I have to say



Why did he hate her so much? It seemed everything she did was wrong. But what had she done? He liked her back in the 4th grade, even through 5th and 6th. So why did he hate her now? It didn't make sense.

Her eyes filled up with tears wiped them away with her hand, "Why can't you love me, Arnold?"



I was left to cry there

Waiting inside there

Grinning with a lost stare



Why cry over Arnold? He wasn't worth her tears. She was the prettiest, most popular girl in school. It was Arnold's problem if he didn't love her. His problem if he loved that stupid reject, Helga Pataki. She didn't need Arnold. She could have anyone else she wanted. Only one problem: she wanted Arnold. But he would never love her, would he? From then on, she told herself, she wouldn't care any more. That's right, keep saying it until it was true. That's what she would do.



That's when I decided

Why should I care?

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone

You, you need to listen

I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip

and I'm in this thing alone



Even though she didn't care, it still bothered her. She wanted to know what had happened to make him change his mind. She thought about everything that had happened between them. First, someone wrote on the wall that Arnold loved her, so she had started to like the idea and decided that she loved him too. Then, he broke up with her, and she had felt really bad. All of a sudden, Arnold started following her around, trying to get her to love him, but she had been to proud to admit that she still "liked him liked him instead of just liking him" like she said she did. Arnold continued to follow her around, until 6th grade, when she decided that he had been tortured enough and admitted to him that she liked him back. Things were great, up until 7th grade started. Out of the blue, Arnold had dumped her again.



Am I just some chick you placed beside you

To take somebody's place?

When you turn around can you recognize my face?

You used to love me, you used to hug me

But that was not the case, everything wasn't ok



Deep down, she knew why he had dumped her. Arnold had never really loved Lila at all. He was just looking for someone to fill the empty space. He really loved Helga, he just didn't know it. Lucky Arnold, she loved him back. Lila knew, Helga had told her about her secret. Arnold was in love with the concept of being loved. That was the only reason he thought he loved Lila: because it made sense to. He had done it a few times since he dumped Lila in the 7th grade, "gone out" with other girls he had crushes on because he thought he was supposed to.

Lila realized, that in the end, Arnold and Helga would get everything, and she would be left alone. But that was the way things were.



I was left to cry there

Waiting inside there

Grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decided



She didn't care. She didn't care. She- she cared! WHY DID SHE CARE? Why couldn't she just accept it? It wasn't meant to be! Just forget about him. Just leave that stupid Arnold and his reject "girlfriend" alone.



Why should I care?

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone

You, you need to listen

I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip

And I'm in this thing alone



She got up, and ran, more tears with every step. She didn't know where she was going, but she didn't care. She just wanted to be somewhere else.



Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud

Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud



Didn't Arnold know what he was doing to her? Why did he have to be so cruel? Dumping her was bad enough, he could at least be nice about it. Arnold was nice to everyone but her. And she deserved it. Forget Arnold, forget everything. She didn't care.



Open your eyes, open up wide

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone

Why should I care

If you don't care, then I don't care we're not going anywhere
