Temptaion

Chapter5


the fellas lookin fly,
there was one that caught my eye
so i bit my lip
switched my hips
as i walked by

"Pheobe I just don't know what to do. I like Arnold but I can't cheat on Justin!"

"Johnathan"

"Whatever! Just give me some advice." Pleaded Helga.

"Look try spending some time with Arnold tonight, then call me back in a day or two."

Helga hung up the phone and just lay on her bed for awhile thinking about what Pheobe had said. Finally she sighed and reached under her bed for her pink book. Helga had fondly named it Vol. XVII. Helga opened her the book, got a pencil and began writing. She didn't bother to lock her door. Helga had realised long ago that her parents didn't like comming to her room. So she had nothing to worry about unless she made a banging noise.

Helga sighed agian and started to write a lyric she'd heard once, only she couldn't remember it.

Helga sighed yet again and decided that she was going to take Pheobe's advice.

When the door bell rang Helga rushed down the stairs to let Pheobe in. But when the door opened, Arnold was on the other side. For a moment she just stared. he was wearing soft faded blue jeans, and a white t-shirt. Dear Googaly moogaly was he cute.

Helga snapped out of her daze when Arnold smiled.

"I was expecting Pheobe," Said Helga trying to recover her scattered wits.

"So I guessed,"

Helga just nodded and led him to the living room.

"Why don't you relax here until everyone gets here." As soon as Arnold got comfortable on the coach she sat down beside him.

"So tell me about your self," Helga said and winced at how it sounded.

Arnold arched an eyebrow, "What would you like to know?"

Helga shrugged, "Tell me about you grandparents. How are they doing?"

He smiled a fond smile and replied, "Grandma is still grandma. But Grandpa is getting to that time. He'll turn 91 in a couple of years."

"Whats wrong with that?"

"He thinks there is a family curse. He says every man in his family dies at 91. But i seriously doubt that. He's as healthy he was when he was 19."

"Not Bob! He keeps complaining about his back. He just doesn't want to go to work. He thinks I'll take over the bussiness one day. But I don't want too."

"Why?" asked Arnold

"Because I want to write. I want to write a book or be a journalist." Helga said almost defiantly. As if waiting for hm to tell her it was a stupid idea.

"I want to be a photographer or a cartoonist." Said Arnold and Helga smiled. A real smile, not the fake smile she gave her parents and teachers just to appease them. Arnold felt gifted to be getting one of her rare smiles.

Arnold smiled back at her and they began talking about their hopes and dreams.

"I could be a scientist but I don't think I would be happy." Arnold confessed.

"Because of your parents." It wasn't a question it was statement.

Arnold just nodded aknowledging her perseption.

For a minute they sat there in a comfortable silence. For the first time in their short lives, both were totally at ease.
