Chapter 9:"Encounter "
Helga jumped. She spun around and felt hatred and jealously fill her heart. There standing poised behind her was her arch nemesis…Lila.
Lila. Pretty, Nice, and popular…Lila is everything Helga isn't…and wants to be. The worst part is that Arnold likes Lila and Helga is constantly ruining Arnold's plans to have Lila like him back. Although Lila knows Helga loves Arnold, which is a tale meant for another time, Helga would still be a bully towards both of them.
"Don't seek up on me! Shessh!" Helga said.
Lila put a finger on her chin and said in a soft tone, "I'm ever so sorry I startled you. I was just wondering why you look oh so sad."
Placing a hand on her hip, Helga stated, "Me! Sad! Where on earth gave you the idea that I was sad!"
"I noticed that you were standing here all alone and that you were looking out the window, not looking very exultant," Lila answered.
"Crimany! Can't a girl look out the window without everyone assuming that she's sad!" Helga shouted in frustration.
"Oh, well, I thought you were-"
"Well, you," she poked her in the shoulder, "thought wrong, bucko."
Lila remained quiet. She turned to leave but then turned back to Helga. "Helga…does it ever so have something to do with Arnold?" the country girl asked.
Helga froze. "No-!Of Course not-! I mean, what's with all the questions, Sherlock? I didn't realize I was suddenly under surveillance!"
"I was just wondering, Helga. But it ever so seems that your alright now," Lila said.
Helga laughed bitterly. "So, you do have some smarts after all, Lila."
Lila ignored her cruel remark and placed her hand on Helga's shoulder. "If you ever so need anything…come tell me."
"Yeah, Yeah," she said and swat Lila's hand off her shoulder.
Lila was carrying her lunch in the other hand and placed her hands together. She bounced on her toes and said, "Well, I have an oh so pleasing lunch to eat, I'll talk to you later Helga." Helga crossed her arms and sneered.
Lila's side
Poor Helga, thought Lila as she walked down the stairs, I ever so think that there is something wrong. And if I'm right, then it oh so has to do something with Arnold. She just loves him ever so much…I wish there was something I can do to help. With one final sigh, she walked towards the lunch room.
Helga's side
"Later, Pukenator," Helga said with a girly voice and waved. "Crimany! Haven't I suffered enough?"
Helga stayed for a little while longer and decided to talk to Arnold when the chance came. In the mean time, thought Helga as she walked towards the cafeteria, I might as well eat my lunch. She continued on, neither knowing the adventure waiting in the future…
