Chapter Three: Nobody Can Help
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
'So, nobody believes you?' Arnold asked while sitting on top of a box in the janitor's closet while Helga paced back and forth trying to figure this out.
'Exactly,' she said matter-of-factly.
'But Helga, you have been known for stretching the truth, even if you are telling them everything without exaggeration, remember seventh grade?' Helga stopped pacing and chuckled slightly at the memory. She had her leg broken after she fell off a four wheeler. She decided to have some fun with the situation and told the people at the hospital that Sid had pushed her off so the police became involved. It turned out that Sid was tiding a different four wheeler at the time. How would they remember that incident though?
'Well,' she said shaking herself out of her own revere, 'I guess we'll just have to catch this guy red-handed.' Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of lunch and the beginning of fifth hour.
'Oh, shit! We're late for class. I'll write you a note and you can decide if you're going to help me or not.' Arnold nodded, then thought about something as they walked to class, receiving stares as they walked out of the janitor's closet by some other late students.
'What about Phoebe?' He asked.
'She's busy,' Arnold nodded as he and Helga rounded the corner. They walked in, as the class turned and stared at them. Mrs. Stellar walked over to the two late students, staring Arnold in the eye. Helga glared at the teacher.
'Well Arnold, I must say I'm disappointed in you. You're never late. As for you Miss Pataki,' she turned sharply toward Helga, 'You should have been to class on time for once.' Helga's glare softened into an innocent smile.
'Why, did I miss something?' Helga asked priggishly. Mrs. Stellar fumed at her wit.
'Why are you always late?' she asked sternly? Helga smirked and walked toward her seat.
'Because you're always ringing the bell before I get here.' The class, including Arnold snickered at her comment. Mrs. Stellar sighed in defeat.
'Sit down, Arnold. Now class,' she said picking up a stack of papers,' I'm going to hand back your essays.' She started to pass them out. When she got to Stinky Peterson, he looked at his paper, then up at Mrs. Stellar.
'Willikers Mrs. Stellar, I done think I deserve other than a zero on this paper.'
'Me too Stinky, but that's the lowest grade I could give.'
'Aww, gee.' He sulked in his deep southern accent. Helga just scribbled the plan on a note and handed it to Arnold when the teacher wasn't looking. After he read it, he gave her the thumbs up and went back to the book he was supposed to be reading.
~*~
'So, this is the famous Silverain house?' Arnold asked as Helga pulled her car into the driveway.
'Yep, it looks like its 200 years old or something. Crimeny! Why don't they plow down these houses and--I-I mean.' she stopped when she realized what she had said. Once again, her mouth spoke faster than her thoughts. She looked over at Arnold who was now looking at her sadly.
'So they can tear down these houses like they almost ruined my neighborhood?' Helga was truly sorry with that she said, and she could tell Arnold had been hurt. She placed a hand on his shoulder. He shuddered and a warm feeling grew in his chest at the contact.
'Look, I-I'm sorry.I-I didn't mean it like that.' He looked over at her and managed a small smile,' Let's go inside. I'm sure Mrs. Silverain has to leave soon.' Arnold nodded and opened his door. They both walked up to the front door as Helga rang the doorbell. Mrs. Silverain answered it.
'Hello Helga.oh, you brought a boy?' she looked a little hesitant about it, 'Is he your boyfriend?' both Helga and Arnold blushed at the thought.
'Well, he's a boy, and my friend, but we're not a couple if that's what you're asking.'
If only we were, Helga thought.
'Oh, okay,' she let out a long breath, then checked her watch, 'Oh my, we need to go. David!' she yelled, 'c'mon honey, you'll be late for practice! Bye Helga, bye.what's your name?'
'Arnold.'
'Okay bye Arnie.' Helga and Arnold both froze when that name left her lips. They stayed frozen as Mrs. Silverain and David left.
'Hi Helga!' Daniel yelled, making Helga's blood rush again.
'Oh, hi Danny.' Helga said as the small boy squeezed the air out of her. Arnold smiled at her.
'Let's go inside.'
~*~
'And they lived happily ever after, the end.' Helga put down the book she had been reading him, 'See, I told you we'd finish it tonight.' Daniel smiled and jumped up and down on his bed.
'I was waiting all day for you to come! I like how the wizard turned the witch into a toad, that's my favorite part!' he stopped bouncing and looked up at Helga, 'What's your favorite part?' Helga smiled.
'When the prince and princess fall in love.' She said dreamily, then she sighed. Daniel looked at her strangely.
'Helga!' Arnold yelled shaking her out of her little dream, 'I thought of something.'
'I'll be there in a minute!' she yelled, then turned to Daniel, 'Good night, I'll see you next Thursday, Okay?'
'What about that man?' Daniel asked. Helga froze.
'W-w-what man?' she stuttered, scared to know what he was talking about.
'That man.oh yeah, I think he was in my dream. He said he'd come back tonight, but he wouldn't bother us.' Why was he acting so strange? First Mrs. Silverain, now Daniel. It was like everyone had been brainwashed.
'O-okay,' she said shakily, trying to keep her cool, 'I-I'll look out for him. Good night.'
'Good night Helga,' Helga tip toed over to the door after tucking him in and shut off the lights, then flew down the stairs much like she had the night before; and then.
The lights went out.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
