Hello everyone. I hope some of you like this story. Please review so I know how I'm doing.
. I know what you mean. I started that it and TJM didn't happen but, when I was writing that scene I thought it would be best if the Jungle movie did happen. They did rescue the parents. Just not how it went in the movie. They never kissed. I did screw up the time line. I went back and changed the prologue. Where TJM happened fourth grade. And FTI happened beginning of fifth and they moved shortly after that. Thanks for correcting me on it. I had to think about that. 😊

Chapter 2
Helga walked into school the next day she was wearing her usual pink hoodie blue jeans and a tank. This tome she didn't have her nose in a book instead she had her earbuds in as she was banging her head to New Year's Day she didn't notice a football head standing next to her locker trying to talk to her. When he didn't get a response, he slammed her locker shut Helga jumped at the sudden burst.
"Jesus, Football head what the hell was that?" demanded Helga as she took her headphone off and tried to calm her jittery nerves. Arnold realized she wasn't ignoring him started to blush and rub his neck nervously he had his head down and was looking at her shoes. Helga couldn't help but get a good look at him. The years have been very kind to him in Florida. He was broad and had some muscle and toned arms that Helga's was trying not to drool over. His voice got deeper and occasionally shell hear a huskiness to it that wet her panties immediately she hated that a simple word can have that affect on her. All she wanted to do was grab his sexy face and make him her. But she stepped back as she rubbed her arm.
"Hey Arnold?" asked Helga at the mention of his name his head shot up oh no, am I in trouble she said my real name shit what did I do? Arnold asked himself.
"Look Arnold, I'm sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have run off. Its not easy for me to open about THEM. Let's start slow and talk about you first?" she asked still rubbing her arm and sating at her pink converse. She didn't see the happy look as his head snapped up at what she said.
"Yeah Helga, that'd be great how about today after school you can come over or I can come over there if that's easier for you." He said rushed out Helga's head went up in horror at that.
"No, how about common ground what do you say we go to that coffee shop at the corner and we can get something to eat. Its quiet so it'll be easy for us to do our homework." She said nervously I hope he doesn't think it's a date I didn't mean that.
"Like a date?" he asked with a happy smile. Helga's face dropped.
"No, no, no I meant for the assignment we have to do." She quickly said as he watched the blush creep up her neck to her cheeks Arnold had a dirty thought about tracing the blush with his tongue and seeing where it started. On instinct his eyes went to her chest.
"Hey, my eyes are up here bucko" said Helga crossing her arms over her chest which did not help only pushed them up more. Arnold sighed as he ran his fingers through the air.
"Yeah we can do that, maybe even work on our parts we both know sim mons wants us to audition for Romeo and Juliet tomorrow before he auditions everyone else." Said Arnold
Helga sighed as she nodded to him then the bell rang, and they went their separate ways.
Next thing Arnold new it was lunch time. He went to the cafeteria and saw Helga talking to phoebe. Arnold finished looking around and saw Gerald in line.
"What's up man?" asked Arnold as they did their signature hand shake.
"Hey man so what's up with you and Pataki?" asked Gerald. Arnold tried to hide hos blush, but Gerald caught on to it.
"Nothing were partners for an English assignment about getting to know your partner that you'll have the rest of the year. Were going to work on it more after school." Said Arnold as he paid the lunch lady and they went and joined the girls.
"hello ladies" said Gerald on a purr as he raised hid eyebrows at Phoebe which earned him and a giggle.
"Gerald stop it." Giggle phoebe Helga rolled her eyes.
"Ok one more comment and I'm leaving" she said. Gerald raised his brows and put a smirk on.
"So that's all its going to take?" he asked mischievously. Helga rolled her eyes and again and was mumbling to herself. Gerald leans in and whispers something to phoebe and she smacks his arm "Your horrible" Helga slammed her soda down.
"That's it just get a room already." And she stored off with her scrawl and stomping out the door.
"Look what you did Gerald." Said phoebe as she got up to go after Helga.
Arnold was shaking his head
"You're a BOLD kid Gerald" said Arnold on a chuckle
"Hey that my line" said Gerald amused. They started talking about sports and girls when Rhonda came up to them and sat down
"Hello, Rhonda" said Arnold in a friendly tone.
"Hello Arnold darling, so this weekend I am throwing a welcome back Arnold bash I know we did one when you first came back, but this will also be a party for our senior year." Said Rhonda as she flipped her long black hair behind her.
"Umm. I don't know Rhonda I have homework and that play to rehearse.
"Oh posh, well get the results on Monday, and besides after everyone has their roles we play in doing extra rehearsals at my place." Said Rhonda with a shake of her hand.
"Wow Rhonda that's nice of you." She said. Gerald raised an eyebrow at her
"Why?" asked Gerald suspiciously.
"You don't want to hang out with all of us constantly since when are you throwing parties and rehearsal parties." Asked Gerald with a raised eyebrow. Rhonda looked shocked and put her arm to her chest dramatically
"excusez-moi? Gerald I can't throw a party for my dear friend Arnold? I can't throw rehearsal to help my dear friends." Asked Rhonda appalled
"Well, you can but all these will include a certain somebody that's obsessed with you." Said Gerald thought full just then Rhonda shivered in disgust.
"What's the real reason Lloyd?" demanded Gerald. Rhonda looked between the boys seeing she's not going to get out of this. She sighed
"Its very personal." She said
"Come on Rhonda its us there's nothing you can say that would make us look at you differently." Said Arnold in his concerned friend voice. Rhonda shook her head.
"No, no it's not me…I'm worried about someone and I want them to open up to, so I can help and that is all I'm going to say." Said Rhonda crossing her arms this just piqued their curiosity even more.
"Someone? "asked Arnold Gerald raised his eyebrows
"Is it a GUY?" asked Gerald
"Please like I Rhonda Wellington-Lloyd I do NOT need help with men." She said on a huff.
"Well a girl then? You we wont judge." Remarked Gerald on a chuckle. When she didn't say anything and started admiring he perfectly manicured nails.
"Hmmm? I'm sorry I didn't hear you" said Rhonda new rubbing her nails on her red sweater. Arnold and Gerald's mouth opened.
"Rhonda are you..." Rhonda shook her head
"Oh no I am worried about a girl it's not like that." They just looked at her.
"Ok fine but this stays between us?" she made them both promise
"I'm worried about Helga." She says as she looks around
"Helga? Why?" asks Arnold
"Well you haven't kept I touch with anyone except fir Gerald s I guess you don't know." She sighed looking down Arnold started to worry more is this about her quietness and lack of well Helga? He asked himself
"Look at the end f fifth grade Helga started to change. And no, I don't mean like puberty. No, she started being quieter not getting on trouble at school. Soo her clothes started changing no more dresses baggy clothes, make up always wearing jeans or a sweatshirt even in middle of summer even if she shows up to my fabulous pool parties. I'm just worried and I want help. I have my suspicions, but I think the less she's at home the better." Says Rhonda sadly Arnold was speechless sounds like she's being abused.
"Do you have proof?" asked Arnold very concerned now it makes since why she freaked when I mentioned her family.
"No. she doesn't talk to anyone. Not even phoebe. They do homework together on the weekends but that's about it. Phoebe doesn't low anything…." Just the Phoebe comes back in the cafeteria in tears and slaps Gerald and runs out.
"Oh, dear I'll be back boys." Said Rhonda chasing after phoebe.
Helga got up from the table and stormed outside. I can't believe them he does this to me every time. I'm not even going to sit with the, anymore. She took out her music and started to calm down. Just then she saw phoebe walk up to her. Helga put her headphones off.
"Yeah phoebes." Asked Helga
"Helga I'm sorry I know you don't like it when Gerald gets to lovey with me." She said as touched Helga's hand.
"thanks phoebes." Sad Helga with a smile. They were talking for a little when phoebe said, "I'm going back in do you want join us?" Helga shook her head phoebe starting to get irritated with Helga
"Come on Helga get over it. Your just jealous that I have someone and you're still pinning over Arnold." Phoebe slapped her hand over her mouth and looked up at Helga in horror. Helga thinned her lips and look at phoebe
"Well, at least you told me how you really feel. Ok. I get it Phoebe." Helga was nodding her head as she stood up and put her music on.
Phoebes point of view
Oh shit, why did I say that. "Helga wait" she put her arm on her shoulder and Helga shrugged her off. She grabbed her shoulder and turned Helga around, and Helga gave her a cold and mincing look.
"You made your point phoebe. I get. I do. Go back to lover boy." Said Helga but phoebe saw the start of tears in Helga's eyes.
Back to Helga's pov
I can't believe it. Is that what she really thought of me. Helga felt her heart break her only friend just abandoned her. O really am all alone in this world. Maybe I should just run away. She thought when phoebe grabbed her Helga saw the regret but its to late. She just lost her best friend.
She walked away and packed her backpack and left school for the day. She went to the coffee shop to wait for Arnold and work on her other work.
