Chapter 3: The joys of school pairings *laughs*
AN: Thanks for the reviews! I didn't think you guys like this story THAT much! ^_^ Oh well! Here's chapter three! I hope you guys like!
Life skills, the most boring class Helga had ever sat through. She stifled a yawn, as Ms. Potter bored the class with another pairing assignment.
"This quarter we're going to understand the struggles of teen parenting, you will be assigned a husband or wife and a doll you will be living together for this quarter each of you will also receive a job. Your goal is to provide your child with a good home, and maintain a good marriage" She held up a doll, behind her was a basket of different colored babies.
"These babies have a computer chip that reports how the parent's a treating it, it is very life like." She said as she pushed her glasses up.
Helga looked up half interested as she slowly popped a bubble; she was retracing a heart over and over to the point it was a black circle.
"The couples are.." Helga yawned once again and blocked out Ms. Potter.
"Helga and Arnold, please come up for your baby and your job please." Ms. Potter called.
"What!?!?" Helga shrieked as she pounded her fists on the table.
"I demand another husband!" She yelled.
Ms. Potter looked at her calmly, "now miss. Pataiki you know that you can't change your partner you've been assigned to everyone else in this class, it's your turn to work with Mr. er- Arnold now" Ms. Potter said and handed Arnold their child and papers containing their jobs.
Arnold smiled warmly at Helga and handed her, her papers. Helga sneered and snatched the papers away from him. Arnold frowned and carried the baby away.

Helga was happily chatting with her friends when Arnold approached her carrying their baby in his arms.
"Helga?" he asked softly.
Helga looked up and glared at him, "what do you want?" she sneered.
"Um, can I talk to you for a second?" Arnold asked as he shifted the baby.
Helga stood up and exited the cafeteria with Arnold close behind.
"What?!? What do you want?" Helga asked, glaring.
Arnold had the strangest urge to say 'You' but instead said "I know you really don't want to be my partner, but we have figure out who's house we'll be staying at, what we do with our profits, what the name, and gender of our baby." Arnold said as he handed Helga the baby who began to cry.
Helga rolled her eyes and sighed, "Who said WE would be staying together? Of course it's gonna be a girl and HER name is Melinda. There I solved the problems you can pick up the child on Wednesday, and I'll take her back on Friday, and how do you make this thing SHUT UP!" She yelled as she held the doll away from her.
Arnold chuckled, and handed her a bottle, Helga glared and snatched it away, "Helga we have to live together. We don't have to share a room, how about you stay at the boarding house; we have an extra room we can lend to you for our project. A girl is fine, but I was thinking of going with Melissa." Arnold said as Helga quieted the child and was currently rocking her to sleep.
"Fine what ever, How about we name her Melissa Anne?" Helga suggested.
Arnoldo smiled, "fine with me, I knew we could get along and compromise." Arnold said. "When are you moving in?" He asked.
"I'll start this afternoon" Helga whispered and walked back to her friends without even saying good bye. Arnold waved and joined Gerald, a huge smile on his face. Helga may still be mean to him but at least she was talking to him, it was a start and if everything went his way they would be friends before this project was over.
An: Well there's chapter three hoped you like! Thanks for the reviews! I really enjoy reading them and I'm glad you guys like the way this story is going, hopefully chapter 4 should be up around Sunday or maybe Tuesday. But I'm not promising
