Chapter 3- shocked

Arnold sat comfortably in his seat on the plane. He stared out the window at the ocean below. He had been on the plane for what felt like days. Arnold already missed his friends and was sad that he hadn't gotten to tell Helga goodbye.

Meanwhile, Helga sat in her room, her face in her pillow, hating the whole world. She tried to convince herself it was all a nightmare. She would wake up and Arnold would still be there. But she couldn't even fool herself. He was gone and she had to deal with it.

--------------------------Flashback----------------------------------------- ------- At the airport, Helga sat crying. She was on the grassy ground by herself. She heard footsteps behind her and lifted her head to see her best friend sitting beside her. "Helga I am so sorry" said phoebe. "For what" asked Helga, her head still in her hands. "Im sorry that you didn't make it and im sorry that you didn't get to tell him" she said and with that she stood and walked off. -----------------------End of flashback-------------------------- Helga had walked home slowly with her head hung. She had walked to her room and locked the door. Helga had sat there for hours. At dinner she had told her parents that she wasn't hungry and had stayed in her room. Arnold had finally arrived. As he stepped off the plane he took a big breath of fresh air. He was home. Well that's what he told himself anyway trying to push all other thought to the back of his mind.

They drove to their new house. It was a large wooden house with two stories. It was brown with a black roof. Arnold thought it looked out of place.

He ran upstairs and claimed his room and started unpacking. As he opened his suitcase he stopped when he spotted and unopened package. ---------------Flashback----------------------------------------------- At the airport Lila had handed Arnold a small package. He hadn't opened it and promised that he wouldn't until he arrived. He silently opened the parcel. Enclosed was an envelope with a letter.

Arnold, When I told you that I liked you I was just trying to upset Helga. I know it wasn't a nice thing to do and I don't know why I did it. Back in fourth grade Helga made me promise that I wouldn't tell you but now I think I have to. She loves you, Arnold. She did then and she does now. I know this information is shocking and I don't know what you'll do with it but I think you'll do what your heart tells you. Im sorry for misleading you if you really do like me and I hope we can still be friends. Please forgive me for rejecting you in fourth grade. Your friend, Lila Arnold stared wide eyed at the letter and was confused at the information that he had just received. Helga loved him? Sure she had told him that once on the top of the building............. But she told him later on that she was just caught up in the moment. And he had believed her. Until now. "I have to talk to her" he said. Helga was tired of sitting around. She knew what she had to do. She was going to pay Arnold a visit and she was going to tell him the truth.
