A/N: Oh my goodness... it's like I update every hour. o0 Anyway.. here is chapter 3: What?
The whole playground and I gasped. I heard whispers come from random people, including Harold, Sid, and Stinky.
"Ooh.. they must be in L.O.V.E.!" Harold blurted out, and Sid and Stinky just laughed.
I saw Arnold turn about 50 shades of red, as he let Helga go and grinned nervously. "Me and Helga? In love? HA! Y-you have to joking! I don't like her that way!"
"Then what was that hug about?" Stinky asked.
"It was just to make her feel better!" Arnold shouted, and narrowed his eyes angrily.
Suddenly, I saw a girl standing right there beside me. She looked familiar, and I could've sworn I known her from kindergarten. Let's see... tall, brown medium-length hair, brown eyes... dressing tom-boyish. Yep, it was her. Sari Meyers.
"Looks like you two have a "thing" for eachother." She said mischieviously.
"Not-- hey... who are YOU?" Arnold inquired, raising one eyebrow.
Sari held out her hand with a small grin on her face. "Sari Meyers. 11-years-old, old hometown, used to live in Florida." She paused. "And you are Arnold, am I correct?"
I could tell Arnold couldn't help but smile. Hey, she WAS pretty... although not the nicest. "Yeah..."
"Interesting. Hey, I used to go to this school before.. and I remember YOU." She pointed to Helga. "You are that bully that always used to call this kid football head. Right?"
Helga acted tough, as always. "Yeah, and I still do. Wanna make something of it?"
"No thank you." Sari growled. "Listen, kid, you leave him alone. He doesn't DESERVE to be treated like this."
I could tell Arnold was about to say something back to Sari... probably something like, "No, you leave ME alone," or, "Let me and Helga be." But, I didn't get a chance to hear, because Sari pulled him away.. to a place unknown.
Poor Helga... sititng there with no one. But.. I couldn't help her. She hated me now, and that was that. So, since I was bored to death, I decided to go sneak up on Arnold and that... jerk... Sari, and see what they were up to. I leaned agaisnt the wall, not soundproof, and heard Sari's cold, mean voice.
"You listen to me, kid. If you don't avoid that girl by 3:00 today, you're going to get it!"
"Sari... let me down!"
"ENOUGH! Follow my orders and act like you hate that girl until next Saturday. She will sure be dead."
End of conversation, I believe. So, that's when I took off over to where Helga was. I didn't care if she hated me or not. She needed me to tell her before something went terribly wrong.
"Helga!" I screamed, so loud that she actually jumped and fell to the ground.
"What do you WANT Ashlyn?" She mumbled. "Are you hear to tell me that Arnold is in love with Sari? Cos if you are, I DON'T want to hear--"
"Hosh!" I snapped. "Listen.. I overheard Sari threatining Arnold telling him that he needed to act like he hated you until next Saturday! Helga! Sari wants you dead! She said "Act like you hate that girl until next Saturday. She will sure be dead." Come on, Helga! Believe me here!"
"And what did HE say?"
"I didn't hear muich. I just heard him say.. Sari... let me down. She was probably about to physically abuse him."
"So, why are you telling me this, Ashlyn?"
"Because I don't want you to get hurt! And I want you to understand that you can't kill yourself because Sari is TELLING him to act like he hates you."
Helga sighed deeply. "If you say so."
"So you believe me?"
"Yeah, sure." And with that, she got up and walked away.
The next day at school, I was happy, knowing that Helga could live. At least... that's what I thought. You see, she wasn't in school today.. and Mr. Simmons (yes, he went to the 6th grade, sadly,) said that the principal didn't get a phone call from her parents telling her that she wouldn't be attending school today. I though at first that that was because her parents didn't notice and didn't care... but...
When I went to her house to drop off her homework, her dad was there, with tears rolling down his face. "Mr. Pataki.. uh.. is Helga home?"
"No... she wasn't home ALL day."
"Did she come home yesterday?"
"No... police are saying she's been kidnapped by some 11-year old with brown hair."
"11-year-old?"
"Yeah, probably bringing her to her house so HER parents can torture her."
"And you said BROWN hair?"
"And brown eyes."
"WHAT?! No.. it can't be... SARI MEYERS?!"
"Is that 'er name?" And with that, he slammed the door right in my face. I was left there thinking hard. It sounded like Sari all right, but why would Sari do that? She's only 11. But, like her dad said... maybe her parents wanted her to take her to their place. Either that or..
It's all a joke.. and Helga is gone...
A/N: HA! Cliffys, cliffys, cliffys. Hmm.. I kind of added some mystery and suspense in that chappy, huh? Oh well... XD In the next chapter, you'll find out what happened to Helga, and if she is okay or not. AND who kidnapped/hurt her. Your guess is as good as mine. o0; Byebye, ya'll.
