Chapter two- ill be missing you
Arnold didn't know what kind of surprise was waiting for him at the
boarding house. He hoped something bad hadn't happened.
When he arrived at the boarding house, his grandparents told him to wait outside. Arnold stood outside for what felt like an eternity. Finally, he was allowed to go in. Standing in the kitchen was his parents. SHOCKED? I THINK NOT. NE WAY I HOPE YOU LIKE IT SO FAR. WELL CONTINUE!!!! Arnold felt many things at once. Confused at how they could be standing in his kitchen, glad that they were, and so many other things. After explaining every thing Arnold found out how they were standing there.
Arnold's parents' plane had crashed on an island. They had spent all of those years trying to get off and finally they did. That was the story in a nut shell.
Arnold was glad they were back. Then he got the news. His parents would be moving to Hawaii, and he would be going with him. Helga could not believe what had almost happened. They had almost kissed. After years of stalking and writing poetry it had finally paid off, almost. They had been interrupted by Arnold's grandfather. He had had news. Helga wondered what it was, but she would find out Monday anyway.
MONDAY On Monday Arnold couldn't wait to spread the good news. When he got on the bus, he told Gerald, and by lunchtime, Helga had heard the news. She hadn't known what to think. She was extremely happy that he had found his parents but she was distraught to find out that he would be moving.
Arnold wondered what was wrong with Helga. She had been despondent the whole day. He thought back to what had happened at the party and shook his head. He thought of Helga as a friend and nothing more but he wondered why he had almost kissed her and asked her to dance.
That evening everyone went to the dock and sat and threw rocks, something they hadn't done for a long time. Helga sat on the edge with her legs swinging over the side. Lila was standing beside Arnold and talking. "Since your leaving I just wanted to say that I like you now".
Helga was furious. She had loved him for nine years and he hadn't noticed her at all and Lila had just now started liking him and he was happy. "I like you too" said Arnold. And with that, Helga stood up and 'accidentally' pushed Lila in the water. "I am so sorry" said Helga as she suppressed a laugh.
Lila glared and said "The only reason she did that was because she loves you" she said to Arnold. And with that Helga ran.
THAT NIGHT After that traumatizing experience Helga had ran to the tree house. She sat in the cool darkness and thought about what had happened. After all of those years he knew. But then of course she had told him once before on top of the FTI building.
Arnold hadn't known what to think. He walked around for hours thinking, and then he came to the tree house. He heard soft crying and slowly climbed the latter. There sat Helga with tears running down her faced. "Hey" he said. Helga looked up. "About what Lila said, was it true" asked Arnold. "Of course not" lied Helga.
They sat in the tree house talking about things that had happened over the years. Finally at around ten they went home.
SO DO YOU LIKE IT SO FAR, I KNOW THAT WASN'T A GREAT PLACE TO STOP A CHAPTER BUT MY HANDS HURT FROM TYPING. I WRITE ANOTHER ONE VERY SOON. SO STAY TUNED AND REVIEW.
