Chapter Two: Confessions Begin
The next day at school the seniors were all talking about the signs Phoebe had posted up about her project. Helga, however, was completely hesitant about going in and confessing things on camera.
What if I accidentally slip out my adoring love for Arnold. Everyone will make fun of me forever! Crimany! Why does love have to be so difficult? Maybe if I prepare what to say-
"Helga! Oh Helga! I'm sure you're excited to go in the confession room." Standing before Helga was Lila, pretty and perfect. She winked at her. This was nothing new to Helga. Lila knew clearly about Helga's undying love for Arnold since fourth grade. Helga had convinced Lila out of being Juliet, so Helga could kiss Arnold.
She stared at her blankly before answer, "I..uh..I guess." She slapped herself and then scowled, "I mean, WHY WOULD I BE EXCITED it's just a stupid project!" Lila chuckled and then said, "Ok Helga, I was just wondering. See you later!" Lila walked off. The bell rang and Helga headed toward her classroom. Walking through the door, she saw a ton of people gathered around Phoebe. Finally, Phoebe sat down next to me.
"Helga, you haven't scheduled your appointment yet. I have a whole section for you." She said cheerfully. I stared at her, a whole section about me? What the heck. I turned facing her and said, "When are there openings?" She scanned with her finger the list of times and looked up with a slight smirk on her face, "Well there's one right before 6:30 tonight then Arnold is coming." BOOM Helga slammed her hand against the desk and practically screamed, "I'LL TAKE IT! I mean um yeah that's the only good time for me, you know, since I'm so busy and everything."
After forty-five minutes of complete torture about world cultures, the lunch bell finally rang. Arnold was sitting at his usual table, but alone today. Gerald had told him he had to eat with student council today. He looked around at everyone, trying to find someone he could ask to join him. He paused when saw a familiar figure. Her long blonde hair glistening and her almost perfect body, it was hard not to stare at her. Helga Geraldine Pataki, ever since day one I have known her and learned to put up with her, Arnold thought to himself. She was heading his way, tapped her arm, "Helga, do you want to sit here?" Her eyes looked down at him for a minute. Their deep blue eyes were locked at each other for a while. She blinked and said, "Um ok.." slapping herself she made a mean face and yelled, "IN YOUR DREAMS FOOTBALL HEAD!"
She sat down with Sheena when she looked across the room noticing Lila sitting down with Arnold. Eyes filling up with tears, Helga, dramatic and all, rushed to the bathroom. Once again Phoebe was standing near the corner of the room, filming this entire scene. Bingo.
".. and Gerald man, what a great kid. Ever since day one he's been there. I guess people find it unusual that we've been friends for that long. Then there was Eugene, clumsy Eugene.." Helga stopped listening into the room Arnold was talking. She was so nervous, she didn't want to confess anything at this point or say anything nice. Helga wasn't LOVED among her peers. Now with three weeks left in her entire first chapter of her life, Helga hadn't told Arnold her true feelings for him. It's been since preschool when she loved him. Lost in her thought she missed what Arnold had about her in the interview.
"..and Helga Pataki.." Arnold paused for a second, then finally said the rest of his speech on Phoebe's camera. Whipping the door open, he heard a big thump. He looked behind the door to find Helga on the floor, holding her hand on her head. "Helga! I'm sorry here let me help you…just grab my-"
"LOOK ARNOLDO I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" She raced into the camera room slammed the door,positioned herself in front of the lensand the camera started rolling.

Yeah I know, I know. That wasn't a very good chapter. I was having some serious writer's block, but I'm sorry it took so long. Chapter 3 will be up very shortly.
Thanks for the very nice reviews, it really motivated me to write more.
Until next time,
A.P.
