Arnold was first at the bus stop, followed by Gerald, Lily, Eugene, and finally by Helga, she didn't look as sulkily as Lily did who had her head down staring down at her shoes, she was wearing blue jeans with a light, pink, shirt that hugged her every curves, she looked more pretty when she was quiet. While Helga was covered by a loose tucked in white shirt and some light blue jeans with matching white boots.
Arnold wore a black tight t-shirt and black jeans felt a bit to tight for him, white sneakers held his white socked feet. He was now reading chapter eleven of Huckle Berry Finn, it had gotten more enjoyable once he got used to it, and at least it took that nervous feeling of going to detention after school. The lump in his throat seemed to have enlarged this morning when he remembered he was going to get detention with his friend or so called friend Helga, and with his girl friend Lily.
His nerves were running as the day started to seem to go even slower than usual, and even though it might have been for fine for others the dread of being locked up in a room with the two girls grew heavier on him every time he thought of it. It was lunch people chatted as usual about how many classes more they had and what homework they completed and what they were doing for the weekends. He had four more classes till he met up with Helga again, she was still ignoring him, acting like he was some kind of deadly virus.
English grew more interesting as he tried to forget the detention slip that was slapped onto his desk when he got to his desk. For the weekend they were supposed to read four chapters of Huckle Berry Finn, while doing a report on how they think it is going to end, the students groaned at this, not wanting to have to spend their free two days of reading and writing, Arnold was now officially miserable, detention, work, and family. He didn't know how worse it could get .
His teacher was pointing the basics of what they should write in the report, it had to be at least two pages long with five sentences in each paragraph. One picture which was probably the only thing he looked forward to since he enjoyed drawing and was very good at it too. As he wrote down the notes of what to do his teacher pulled the cord of the screen down making it role up so quickly that the teacher had back away to avoid being hit my the metal ring.
About to add the assignment in his book the bell made a shrill ring of signing that class was over the students were assigned to go to their next class. Arnold wrote neatly down his work and placed his pen behind his ear slamming his book closed and shuffled his things into his full arms. He stood up and continued out the door, meeting up with his science teacher who knew about Arnold's detention, stared down at Arnold like he was up to something. Ignored the peoples stares knowing that in less than forty-five minutes he would be stuck with his girlfriend and Helga for a whole hour doing nothing but writing, reading, or just sitting in their seat doing absolutely nothing.
At the one class he was in grew so slow a slug would have been considered faster, the teacher seemed to noticed too because she soon began to stop talking fast and started writing slower. Arnold was tense as ever, wondering if the others who would be joining him were too, he started doodling in his notebook. He was surprised by how much time had passed when he was done his doodle but was even more shocked to have what his so called doodle was a masterpiece. A full drawing of what he had dreamed the other night. He decided to keep it as shoved it into his folder, as he glanced at the clock, only four minutes left till he faced his fate.
The four so called minutes became seconds so quickly he had forgotten how he walked out of his desk, went to his locker, grabbed all his supplies and found himself walking toward the office. Helga was already their, good he thought he would be able to talk to her in peace with out Lily becoming suspicious. Helga was holding her books close to her chest, in deep thought, "Helga?" he spoke softly, not wanting to surprise her. He thoughtful face was soon replaced by an angry expression, he backed away "Helga what's wrong?" she said nothing, she began to look down at the floor again, "Helga." He said a bit louder, sounding more annoyed. He placed his hand under her chin letting her green eyes meet his light blue ones, she pulled away not saying anything a couple of tears rolling down her cheeks.
He attempted to touch her shoulder but she shrugged away, out of anger he slapped her, he hadn't meant to loose control but she wouldn't listen to him. Her eyes filled with even more tears as she began to sob, all her hidden and cooped up emotions were spilling out. She leaned against his shoulder, soaking his shirt with her tears. He hesitated at first but finally wrapped his arms around her letting her cry everything.
That's when Lily came into view, both angry and hurt, Arnold couldn't make an excuse, and couldn't explain why Helga was in his arms for she would never believe him. Helga seemed to have noticed too, she backed away forcing Arnold to let go as she dabbed her eyes with her sleeve, "Sorry, it was my fault." she said weakly, she pulled a forced smile as another tear slipping out.
The detention teacher looking mean as ever walked in holding a stack of lined paper and some pencils with a book. Helga walked through the doors, knowing where she was going she stepped into the cold room sitting in the far corner Mrs. Kanji handed a small book, it was Huckle Berry Finn book. Helga immediately started reading while the teacher handed them each a work sheet of impossible looking problems, all mixed, from long addition, to decimal division. The teacher looked pleased to see their shocked faces she ordered them to separate seats and told them to begin.
All three of them were quiet, only the sound of papers being written on and turning of pages was heard, Arnold still on the front side of the difficult paper couldn't help remember the feeling of Helga in his arms, she felt so nice. It was as if they were to puzzle pieces that perfectly fit together, he was brought back to reality when the teacher snapped her fingers to get him back to work, he continues with his work when his thoughts went too far. He wondered what it would be like kissing her, he shook the thoughts away, he was with Lily and it was only because he had slapped her that she started to cry. They had nothing in common, but this too was a lie too.
As he went along doing the problems they seemed to get longer and harder, his brain was filled with numbers, decimals, and different math symbols. He looked at his watch he still had eleven more minutes till he was free to drive home, he was now on the second worksheet, and was working on number two-hundred ten. His pencil was barely able to write with as the problems were starting to blur, all this math was clouding his head, he was sure it would explode from too much math.
He had gotten done four more problems before the teacher let them go, Helga set down her book, striding out of the classroom. Helga seemed embarrassed by her break down and didn't even say bye to Arnold, who was starting to see her in a whole new light.
Arnold now very confused, pressured, and stressed offered Lily a ride but she refused and didn't bother to ask Helga, he was taking the chance to be alone and thing things out with himself. He settled into his car starting the engine as he reversed out of the lot and drove off, he turned on his radio, needing something to clear his mind. His fingers thumbed against the steering wheel, as he came to a stop light, lightly pressing his foot on to the brake, he waited for the people who walked to pass by. The light switched on to green as he pressed his foot hard onto the gas petal.
Arnold reached his apartment, unlocking the door he stepped inside with his book bag hanging from his right hand, walking up the stairs where both Phil and Gertrude were arguing. "Shut up!!" both shocked opened their mouths, he walked passed them and went up to his bed from locking his door he plopped onto his welcoming bed. He sat up staring along is wallpaper, then to his desk, neither of them seemed to remind him of anything, he was glad he was too mentally wore out to think of anything.
Arnold woke up refreshed and less confused, it was six pm he would be able to take a small walk or a bike ride, Arnold walked stepped out of his room ready to get good clean air and rid energy. It had gotten sunnier as he jumped off the steps of his apartment. Taking his blue bike he started off in a steady pace to go see Gerald, maybe he could play a one on one game of catch or basket ball. As he was near his place he saw some one behind the corner of a building. He recognized those braids, anywhere.
It was Lily, her lips connected with someone else, as soon as he caught sight of him he tumbled off his bike. His heart caught fire as his heart also crumpled into two, why is his friend of all people!! Arnold cleared his throat catching both Lily's and Iggy's attention.
