Chapter 5

Helga packed her things in a small black duffel bag. She didn't need much, just some clothes, a hair brush, and an explanation for why she was in Hawaii.

Helga wrote her parents a note saying that she had went to stay the night with phoebe. Even though she knew that they wouldn't notice that she was even gone.

Helga walked towards the airport. It was only five so she expected to see people that she knew.

She spotted phoebe and Gerald on her way. She tried to walk without them seeing her, but it was too late.

"Helga where are you going" asked Gerald. "None of your business" she replied. Phoebe put all of the clues together and realized where Helga was going.

"Actually, Helga I think it is" said phoebe. Helga didn't have time to argue; instead she told Gerald the truth. At the end Gerald just stood there and finally said "So your going to Hawaii...................." "Ill explain it all again" said phoebe as she drug Gerald off and wished Helga good luck. Arnold was enjoying Hawaii. He loved the sights and loved the ocean. Helga was on the plane. She had been seated by a sweaty guy that kept falling asleep on her shoulder, but she knew it was worth it.

The plane ride went uneventfully; Helga planned what she was going to tell Arnold when she arrived.

Finally she was there. She stepped off the plane as her nervousness grew. She didn't know what to do. Phoebe had given her Arnold s address and lucky for her it was near the airport. She walked slowly toward the house and stood on the front porch.

Finally she rang the doorbell. She stood there for what felt like forever twisting her hands. Finally some one came to the door. It was Arnold's mother. "Well hello, may I ask who you are" she said. "My name is Helga, im one of Arnolds friends". Said Helga. Stella gave her a knowing look and then said "what are you doing here". "Well my parents are on vacation and I decided to visit" she lied. "Ill tell Arnold you're here" said Stella.

As soon as Stella went back in the house Helga ran. She couldn't do it. She ran to the beach and sat on the sand. She heard footsteps behind her and even before turning around, she knew it was Arnold. "Mom told me you were here, and your parents are on vacation" he said as he sat down beside her. "Yeah, just wanted to say hi, and well hi, gotta go" said Helga as she stood up.

She started to walk away and what Arnold said made her stop in her tracks. "Why did you lie when I asked you if what Lila said was true". With that Helga ran. Even though it almost never rained where they were it started to hard. She ran as fast as she could but Arnold caught up with her.

"It's true isn't it" he said as he grabbed her arm and forced her to face him. "Yes" she replied in a small voice. "I love you". Arnold wasn't shocked. "I love you too. "and with that they finally had their kiss.

Helga was invited to stay the weekend with Arnold and his parents. She stayed in the guest bedroom. Finally the weekend was over. Helga boarded her plane. Her parents had found out where she really was and had told her that when she got home she was grounded. Helga knew it was worth it.
