peanut butter Hershey Treasures from my Easter basket that my stupid
boyfriend ate to be funny. Ha-ha, John. Real amusing.

Chapter Eight: The Orchid
"Thanks for helping me get Kristi home," Helga said as she closed the door to her dorm room and faced Arnold.
He shrugged. "No big deal- it's not like she was that heavy."
She laughed. "I heard you. 'I wish I had my car, a wheelbarrow, a stroller- anything!' About halfway up the hill, I believe."
"I didn't say anything like that!" he blurted.
"I'd swear it on a stack of Bibles. I'm just glad to be away from that horrible animal."
"Oh come on. Short Round wasn't that bad." Short Round turned out to be the rat's name.
She shot him a sly grin. "I was talking about you panting over Roxie."
"HEY!" He blushed. "Oh, by the way- when I got your mail for you, you had a package. Here." He passed her a large box, then abruptly announced, "See ya," and darted to the elevator. She watched him leave, puzzled by his sudden need to depart, then carried the box into the room and examined it.
It read "Careful", "Fragile", and "Plant Material" on three of its four sides. She slowly opened it and carefully unwrapped a beautiful, purple- flowered plant. The card within said, "Orchid: Orchids portray a simple elegance and beauty unmatched by any other flower."
"Oh my gosh," she breathed as she saw it, then asked no one in particular, "But who sent it?" On a more delicate inspection of the exterior, she found the gift card attached to the delivery slip. "'To a long-lost friend: You never left my thoughts. –A.'"
She looked again at the gift and began carefully transferring it to its ornamental planter, softly humming to herself as she worked.

IT'S SO SHORT! ARGH! I'm sorry! I guess that just means I'll type up chapter 9 sooner. Keep reviewing, folks- it makes me happy! And then read chapter nine, Requiem For a Dream! Luvs! -PopStarOE
