After school, most of us went to the park. Most of us, as in: Sid, Catrinka, Stinky, Harold,
Peapod kid, Park, Arnold, Gerald, Phoebe, Brainy, Robert, Big Patty because she is Harold's
girlfriend, Rhonda, Nadine, Gloria and me. Good, no Lila. Sure, we became friends after Arnold
had been declared dead, which now is a lie, but I still didn't like when she came around with us,
'cause in the 5th grade she had a crush on Spike.
Spike grabbed my hand, and began to drag me away from the others. I slightly giggled, and
looked back to the others. I saw the others smiling at us, except one... Arnold was scowling.
Wow. Arnold is jealous right when I don't care. I shrugged, and looked forward.
!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/!/
I stared at Brainy and Helga as they left. I scowled as Helga turned her head back this way. Oh,
how I wanted to shout for them to come back, but I'm still me... Arnold, the nice guy. Rrrrrrrr.
Sometimes I hate being so nice. But, that's just the way I was taught. Helga shrugged, and turned
back forward.
I stopped scowling, and turned to the others. They were all smiling. I sighed, and rolled my eyes.
'I guess I'm the only one that doesn't like Brainy and Helga together.' I thought, and walked over
to a bench to sit down.
Rhonda walked up to me, and sat down. She looked quite different, also. She was taller than me,
of course, still had ebony hair except going down past her hips and was in a french braid held with
a flower at the bottom of it, had on a black french beret, a one strapped black tank top that came
down to a point, a long red skirt, red slip on shoes that showed her heels, but since I'm a guy I
don't know what they're called, and had on red eye shadow.
"Uh... hi, Rhonda." I greeted, half smiling. She giggled, and wrapped her arm around my
shoulders. Ooooo... not good.
"Hello, Arnold." she even sounded mostly the same. Man, did any of my friends, besides Brainy
and Helga, change?
"Ssssoooo... what did you want?" I asked, looking at her out of the corner of my eye. She was
giving me a flirtatious smile.
"I was just going to tell you that," I figured she was going to something like my clothes were last
season, but not what she WAS going to say, "I think you look hot." my eyes widened, and I
looked back at her. Did Rhonda Wellington-Lloyd just say that I look... hot?!
"Excuse me, but I don't think I heard you right. Did you just say that I look... hot?" I asked,
slightly pulling away.
"Yes, you heard me right. I think you look very alluring. I never thought that you looked THAT
bad when we were in elementary, but now... well, lets just say, I think you'd be a wonderful
boyfriend." my eyes almost popped out. Did she just ask me to be her boyfriend? Aren't the boys,
as in me, suppose to ask the girls, as in her? I don't even think she looks that great!
"Uh, Rhonda... if you're asking me to be your boyfriend, you've got it all backwards. You see,
the boy asks the girl, not the other way around. Plus, I don't even want to be your boyfriend." I
said, scooting a little away from her, 'cause she was beginning to scare me.
She scowled at me, and sat up straight. "Oh, really? You just gave up the chance of a lifetime!
Me, Rhonda Wellington-Lloyd, asks YOU, Arnold... whatever, to be my girlfriend! Any other boy
would dump his girlfriend for me! You hear me, Arnold?! You hear me??! Any other boy would
do that! Wait... I bet you're still after Lila, aren't you? Well, give up, 'cause she is Stinky's
girlfriend!" man, I think she said that it one breath... hee, hee, hee.
'Well, actually Rhonda, I'm not even wondering about Lila. I have my eyes on Helga.' I thought,
but decided to say something else. "Actually, no." I said, looking the direction of Helga and
Brainy.
"Well, then, who?!" she asked, placing her hands on her hips. I felt like just standing up, and
running away at that moment. But, I didn't, just because she'd get more suspicious.
"Someone..." I mumbled, playing with a leaf. Leafs are quite interesting, you know? Especially
when you want to ignore someone, like Rhonda.
"'Someone' WHO?!" she was getting quite angry, I can tell. Can't you? Lol. "ARNOLD, JUST
TELL ME!!" she screamed.
I growled, and discarded the leaf over my shoulder. "Rhonda... I can't tell you, 'cause she's not
available, and you'll find a way for me to be your boyfriend... oops... I said WAY too much..." I
laughed, slightly, and blushed. Great... now she'll try and get me to accept to be her boyfriend.
Rhonda looked shocked. Course, I would be too if she told me that she had a crush on a guy that
was already taken. "There aren't that many taken girls, Arnold. Lets see, there is Lila, but you
said you didn't like-like her any more... Phoebe... Helga..." I flinched there, "... Gloria... Big
Patty, but if you like-liked her Harold would pound you... and that's it. So, there are three
possibilities... Phoebe, Helga, and Gloria. Well, Phoebe is your best friend's girlfriend, so she
can't be the one, 'cause you wouldn't want to hurt Gerald. Helga... well, she used to pick on you,
but she does look almost as good as me, so she could be a possibility. Gloria... well, you don't
want to hurt Sid's feelings, do you? But, that leaves... Helga." her eyes widened, and she stared at
me. Then, her look of shock turned into a smirk.
I blushed even more. She knew that I had fallen for Helga in just a few moments... great. "N-no,
of course not, Rhonda. Where w-would you get that idea?" I stuttered, blushing even more.
She chuckled, and leaned back against the bench. "I would have never guessed that you would fall
for Helga Pataki. I mean, she used to pick on you more than anyone else!" she laughed, then
turned to me. I felt like my cheeks were brighter than her eyeshadow. "Well, you'll be happy to
know that she no long picks on people. She stopped right after you were declared dead, which
now has to be completely erased from the books..." she trailed off, in a chuckle. Man, she is sure
getting a laugh out of my embarrassment, isn't she?
"I do not have a crush on Helga..." I trailed off. I hate lying, but I also hate being embarrassed.
Then, I saw Helga and Brainy coming back. I smiled kind of love-sickly while staring at Helga.
I heard Rhonda laugh beside me. Oh, I forgot that she was there! I stopped staring, and blushed,
looking down at the ground. "Quit denying it, Arnold. I saw that love sick smile on your face!
You have a crush on Helga! I HAVE to go tell Nadine..." she stood up, and began to walk away.
I looked in her direction, worriedly. No! I don't want anyone to hear that I actually have a crush
on Helga G. Pataki! I stood up, ran to Rhonda, and spun her around to me. "No! Don't tell!
Please!" I slightly shook her. "I'll do anything... even be your boyfriend. Just don't tell... please."
I begged, shaking her more.
She laughed. "Don't worry. As long as you are my boyfriend, I won't tell. Now, ta, ta!" she said,
and pulled out of my grip.

As Spike and I returned, I saw Rhonda and Arnold sitting on a bench arguing. I could see Rhonda
laugh, then Arnold blush. I felt like laughing at Arnold's look, but I didn't. Then, I didn't see a lot
of it, but I saw Rhonda say something excitedly, then began to walk away. Arnold looked over to
Rhonda with a scared look, stood up, and ran to her. He grabbed her, and began to shake her. it
looked like he was begging... but... why would ARNOLD shake and beg someone?
Then I could hear him yelling something. All I could make out of it all was, "No!... Please!... I'll...
boyfriend... don't... please." it sounded very weird. No, please, I'll, boyfriend, don't, and please.
What on earth? That doesn't make ANY sense! Maybe it's... "No! Please! I'll be your boyfriend!
Don't leave! Please?" 'Oh, good, Arnold found himself a girlfriend.' I thought, smiling.
Spike turned his head to me, and took notice of my smile. "What is it?" he asked, making me look
at him. I sighed.
"Arnold found himself a girlfriend. I'm happy for him." I said, simply. He smiled, and grabbed my
head, pulling me towards him into a kiss.
When we pulled away, I saw Arnold staring at us with an almost sad look on his face. Now... this
doesn't make any sense at all. Arnold just got a girlfriend, he sees me and Spike kiss, he gets sad.
Now... why doesn't that sound normal? Doi! Because boys/girls are supposed to be happy when
they get a girlfriend/boyfriend and not get a sad look on their faces when they see other boys and
girls kissing!
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
As soon as Rhonda left, I looked back over to Brainy and Helga... and they were kissing. My face
fell. As soon as they pulled apart, Helga turned and looked at me, and I looked away. Oh well, at
least having Rhonda as a girlfriend will help me do one thing... make Helga jealous.
Peapod kid, Park, Arnold, Gerald, Phoebe, Brainy, Robert, Big Patty because she is Harold's
girlfriend, Rhonda, Nadine, Gloria and me. Good, no Lila. Sure, we became friends after Arnold
