Chapter 2

Lila: What?…...what else you have to tell Erma, you hurt me bad enough don't you think?.

Erma: I invited Jake down here he's coming this weekend.

Lila: What th-- before she could finish her sentence Rhonda comes

Rhonda: Hey, you two are friends again? Looking shocked

Lila looks at Erma and shakes her head no

Lila: We will never be friends

Rhonda: Oh bummer, um I just wanted to tell you guys that I'm hosting a dance at my house and I wanted to give you an invitation. And please leave the drama at home.

Lila: Sure Rhonda wouldn't miss it for the world. She walks off, sad

Rhonda: Do you want me to talk to her?

Erma: Would you please! I don't want to lose her as a friend, well too late for that I already have, but I want her as my best friend again

Rhonda: Well maybe all she needs is time to cool off she'll come around. Well I have to finish giving out all these other invitations. She walks off saying hope to see you at the party! Bye! Heading to Arnolds house

Erma: Bye!

Erma went inside; while she was walking up stairs going to her room she open the invitation that Rhonda had given her she read the card.

Erma: No way the party is this weekend? That's when Jake comes over Lila will really hate me if I bring Jake, Oh man what do I do?

There was a knock on Erma's door she goes to the door and opens it. To her surprise it was Arnold.

Erma: What are you doing here Arnold?

Arnold: Just seeing how you are if you got into another fight saying sarcastically and wondering if you wanted to go walking with me to the park.

Erma: smiling sure I will

They both leave

Arnold: So are you going to Rhonda's party I know she invited you.

Erma: I don't know…Lila is going to be there and I don't think she wants to see me anywhere anymore.

Arnold: All this over one guy?

Erma: I told her that he's coming over this weekend and it's the same weekend as the party. I want to go and bring Jake with me, but I don't want to hurt Lila anymore than I already have.

Arnold: Oh bummer and I was going to save a dance just for you winks at her

Erma blushed and smiled, she knew that Arnold like her, but she already had a boyfriend and she loved love Jake if so why is she starting to like Arnold she thought.

Erma: So what happened between you and Lila?

Arnold: It's a long story, it started in fourth grade I had the biggest crush on her, and she liked me, but we liked each other at the wrong time, when she liked me I didn't like her and when I started liking her she didn't like me, so here I am., anyways enough about me what's the story about you and Jake?

Erma: ah…now that's a long story, well to make a long story short, before Lila moved here, her and Jake were dating and then when she left, me and him hooked up, which I told her I never would, but I couldn't help it I like him so much……and Lila is just now finding out that we go out.

Arnold: So you two have a long distance relationship?

Erma: yeah, but it probably wont last long.

Helga sees Arnold and Erma walking together, as usual she still likes him of course, she followed them all the way to the park. Arnold and Erma sat on a bench and Helga hid behind a tree.

Helga: Maybe its time for me to tell him? Then I wouldn't have to hid from him, but what if he doesn't feel the same way? Maybe I should just give up if I haven't gotten him by now then I never will.

She seen them talking and laughing she took out her heart locket that she has had forever, she walked out from behind the tree, and started to go home, she looked at him again and back at the locket then she drop the locket on the ground. The glass in the locket shattered. Arnold had seen her and called out to her, she looked at him and turned away and kept walking.

Erma: What's wrong with her? She always seem like she's in a bad mood

Arnold: With Helga who knows, you'll get use to it. You can be nice to her, but she'll still be mean to you I don't know how Phoebe put up with her.

Erma: Oh……Can I ask you something?

Arnold: Yeah, sure anything

Erma: Do you like Lila?

Arnold: Wait……what? Where did that come from?

Erma: You had a crush on her for a long time, and by the looks of it you still do. I think that you flirting with me to hid your true feelings from her, like when we almost kissed what was up with that?

Arnold: Oh, yeah that just the heat of the moment I guess, ok maybe I like her a little.

Erma: You should tell her before its too late

Arnold: But apparently she still likes Jake

Erma: Call her and ask her, you see I want her to feel good again and be happy with someone who really cares for her, I just want her to stop thinking about Jake. Ask her to the party tomorrow night what do you have to lose?

Arnold: Maybe I should, wow its getting late, we should get home

They both get up and headed home, they got to Erma's house.

Erma: Thank you, for today I needed it.

Arnold: Your welcome, and thank you for the advice I needed that

They smiled at each other and said goodnight and Arnold went home and she went in her house.

Arnold goes up to his room, and lies in his bed for a while wondering if he should call Lila, he finally decided to pick up the phone and calls her.

The phone rings at Lila's house.

Lila: I got it!. Hello?

Arnold: Hello? Lila? I was wondering if you wanted to go to Rhonda's party with me tomorrow night.

Lila: I think you got the wrong girl, don't you want Erma?

Arnold: No, I like you not her that kiss that almost happened was just a reaction, I felt sorry for her and I just got caught up on the moment she's just a friend.

Lila: Well since you put it that way yes I would love to go to the party with you, oh I gotta go, pick me up at seven thirty?

Arnold: I'll be there bye

Lila: Bye Arnold

He hung up the phone and changed into his night clothes.
