A/N: Yep, chapter2 is here. I actually got a lot of reviews for my first chapter, so I must thank all of you. On with the story!
Chapter 2: What Do You Mean?
I watched as Helga sat alone at lunch, not taking a bite of anything at her table. I believe it was the first time she ever felt this guilty about something, and I felt bad for her.
Then, I looked over at Arnold, who was sitting alone also, but eating. I could've sworn I saw a couple of tears streaming down his cheek, and I couldn't help but feel bad for him also. But, being my usual self, I just sat there and watched them, as they took a couple glances at each other here and there.
"Hello, Ashlyn." A voice came from behind me. It was, again, Mariah, looking sad and sympathetic for once. "Don't you feel bad for them?"
"Yes," I began as I took a sip of my milk. "but it's her fault as always. I mean, she loves him so deeply... why'd she have to say all that harsh stuff to him?"
"I don't know, Ash. I really do not know."
I sighed. "Do you think we should get those two to forgive each other?"
Mariah looked at me funny. "Wow, you're actually going to help out with love life?" She paused. "I'm in!"
After school, Mariah and I walked to the park together to come up with a plan. But, when I looked to my right. There she was: Helga.
"Brilliant!" Mariah shouted, and then toned her voice down. "Now she'll hear us."
"Don't you think that's better if she hears us now?"
"Not really."
I sighed deeply, as I then looked quickly to my left and spotted Arnold. "I don't even think we NEED a plan now." I whispered to Mariah, and smiled.
"What do you mean?" She asked in a very confused tone.
I pointed to Arnold and smirked when Mariah's jaw dropped. No work for us now!
"ARNOLD?!" I heard Helga scream in fear, yet anger. "What are YOU doing here?"
"I was just taking a walk to get over what you said to be today, Helga." He bit his lip and forced himself to stop tears from flowing. "You really hurt me."
Helga sighed, and looked deeply into his green eyes. "Arnold... I'm very sorry. I know I shouldn't have said that. I had no right to even attempt to make you upset." Was she actually being... KIND?
Arnold avoided her eyes for some reason. "I---I forgive you Helga."
She raised half of her eyebrow. "What did you just say?"
"I said I forgive you, Helga. You actually expected me to hate you, or not forgive you?"
"Yeah... I mean, I was so mean. You shouldn't forgive me one little bit."
"But I do."
Helga sighed. "Arnold... if you dug a little deeper into my heart, you would find out why I said that to you."
"What do you mean?"
"It's for me to know, and you to find out." And with that, she walked away.
Arnold stared after her in confusion, but then walked away also, as Mariah and I stood there, happy, yet worried that Helga would never get the guts to tell Arnold the truth.
A/N: Whew! End of chapter 2! t took me forever to come up with a good ending. oo Anyway, in the next chapter, you'll find out if Arnold and Helga's friendship grows... and if Helga EVER gets the guts to even try and tell Arnold her true feelings. Byebye!
