Chapter 2: Keep your distance
An: *sniffles* I feel so loved! Thanks for reviewing and reading my story! *wipes tear* Well here's chapter 2 enjoy! ^_^
Helga approached Gerald's field with her pink baseball cap shadowing her eyes, her hands were shoved into her pockets and she popped a bubble from her gum. She looked up and smiled at the gang.
Rhonda was leaning again the wall wearing a baseball uniform and talking away on her cell phone. Her slick black hair was pulled into a ponytail which was pulled through the cap. She nodded to Helga and continued to talk.
Nadine was sitting on the ground a magnifying glass pressed against her eye as she stared at a cricket. Obviously to interested in the cricket to greet Helga, Helga smiled and shook her head.
Sid and Harold where talking about last nights wrestling match, Harold's Football letterman's jack was around Patty who was talking to Phoebe. They all waved.
Arnold and Gerald were over the pitchers mound laughing, Arnold turned to Helga's direction and waved; Helga glared at him and waved to Gerald instead. She ignored the hurt look on Arnold's face.
Curly was laughing insanely, while Eugene edged politely away from him but trip over a bat, "I'm okay" he called. Helga laughed.
Lila was entertaining Stinky with one of her stories, about her childhood, Stinky laughed while Lila smiled.
"You guys ready to play?" She called and everyone broke into teams.
Helga was catcher as Arnold went up to bat; Helga glared at him and turned her attention to the pitcher. Arnold was expecting to hear her taunt and tease him to distract him from the game but all he heard was "STRIKE ONE! STRIKE TWO! STRIKE THREE! YOU'RE OUT!" And even that wasn't directly to him. Arnold dropped the bat and trudged to the bench were he watched the rest of the game.

"Well that was a fun game" Phoebe said as they all made their way to the ice cream parlor.
"Yeah whatever" Gerald grumbled.
"Aw!" Helga said with a put as she pinched his cheeks "you're just saying that cause WE CREAMED YA!" Helga teased and laughed as she high fived Phoebe.
Arnold was admiring Helga from the back, as she teased and bragged all the way to the parlor. He smiled softly and sighed as she smiled and bragged some more. He wished that he and Helga could be friends like they were when they were younger. He missed her so much, even if she was mean to him at least she noticed him! It seemed after seventh grade they kind of went their separate ways, whatever he did to make her mad he just wanted to apologize and restore the friendship.

Helga dropped her spoon and leaned back, "Well I better start heading home" she said with a yawn.
"Thanks for the ice cream" she said to Gerald and patted him on the back.
Gerald grumbled and waved as Helga left the parlor.
Arnold looked back and stood up, "um, I think I better go too, see ya guys later!" Arnold called and left.
Arnold looked down the street and saw Helga's retreating back grow smaller and smaller.
"Helga!" he called and ran full speed towards her. Helga turned around slowly when she saw Arnold running towards her she turned around and continued to walk.
"Helga!" he call as he reached her.
"What?" She sneered, Arnold's heart fluttered as he heard her voice.
"Um I want to apologize" Arnold said looking at the ground and slowly looked into her eyes. There was no sign of any emotion, besides hatred.
"You want to apologize?" She asked, "Do you know for what?" She asked and placed her hands on her hips.
"Um" Arnold stalled.
Helga sighed and pushed past him," You're wasting my time, if you know what's good for you, you'll stay away" she spat and hurried away.
"I-I'm sorry" Arnold whispered, at Helga's back as she continued to walk away. He sighed, and turned to walk to other way.
"What did I do wrong?"
