It looks like Arnold is starting to fall for Anne Hathaway! Oh come on, who wouldn't (Well, by the time that she started in the movies, that is)? Well, let's keep going…
Morning
Arnold was ready to go to school. As he opened the door, Gerald was now outside, and Arnold said, "Hi Gerald!" Gerald just giggled, as Arnold said, "What's wrong?"
Gerald said, "Your shirt… (Arnold looks at his shirt) you put it on backwards!"
Arnold noticed it and he said, "Yes, it is backwards. I feel like my head's all backwards."
Gerald said, "No, Arnold, it's probably your shirt."
Arnold smiled and he undresses his shirts and he wears it correctly again, while Gerald looked at his watch and the next bus passed over them.
While they were walking to the school, Arnold noticed the beautiful flowers and he said, "Oh, look at the birds… look at the flowers…" Gerald got irritated and he said, "Are you making me sick of something?" then, all of a sudden, a car drove around in the street and Arnold recognized it.
Arnold said, "Hey, that's Miss Hathaway's car!" he then goes near the car and said, "Oh hi, Miss-" then, the person's head noticed Arnold, only it wasn't Miss Hathaway, but someone else.
Arnold frowned and said with a sigh, "Hathaway…" Gerald said, "Miss Hathaway?" As they walked, Arnold said, "Nah, I thought it was our substitute teacher." Gerald was shocked and he said, "You just want to say hi to our substitute teacher?!?"
Arnold stopped walking (Because they were already in their school) and he said, "I can't stop thinking of her! Look at my homework!" Arnold then shows his homework and Gerald said, "Um-Um-Um! Arnold, you've got the disease!" Arnold then asked, What Disease?" Gerald explained, "You have a crush on our substitute teacher, Arnold! A 'major league' crush, that's there to is to it!" Arnold took his words and said, "I do not! In fact, she has a crush on me!"
Gerald said, "Random… if she had a crush on you, that's just an infatuation… or it's just you."
Grade 4 classroom, start of class
Miss Hathaway said, "Now, before we go on our homework, let's start our section on poetry!" everyone sighed, but Arnold looked like he was in love. Miss Hathaway said, "I know, I know, one of you might be a poet, but you don't really know it!"
Miss Hathaway continued, "Ok, let's read a poem written over a hundred years ago by Matthew Arnold. Mr. Arnold…"
Arnold recognized that Anne told his first name and he said to Gerald, "See? She called me!" Anne noticed Arnold and she said, "Arnold?" Anne said, "Why don't you sit in this desk near to me so I can see you." Stinky said, "Ooh, teacher's pet!"
Arnold noticed Stinky and he eyed him and he later said, "I am not!"
As Arnold sat down, Anne started to read the poem.
Oh, Love.
Let us be true to each other.
So very, so warm so Arnold.
(This is followed by Anne's dialog, saying Arnold's name repeatedly.)
As she repeats Arnold's name, Arnold daydreamed of getting an A+ on his homework, with a kiss on it. Anne was dressed on a wedding dress, while Arnold was on a wedding dress (for males, of course) as well, and he got a kiss. He looked like he fell in love for the first time.
Anne finished saying, "Arnold…" Arnold woke up from his daydream and said, "Huh?"
Recess
Arnold and Gerald were in the playground of the school, and they sat on the table, Arnold then said to Gerald, "Hey, Gerald, listen to this poem!" Gerald said, "Man, I'm tired of hearing to your poems!" then he said, "Oh, because of Miss Hathaway!"
Arnold said, "This has nothing to do with Miss Hathaway. I just like poetry."
Gerald said, "I'll pass on this one. Want to play baseball?"
Arnold said, "Later." Then he continues,
But soft, what yonder the window breaks? (I don't know if it was accurate)
It is the east… and… Miss Hathaway is the sun.
Gerald said, "Man! That's it, I'm puking!"
As Gerald was walking back to his room, he overheard a conversation. It was Miss Hathaway speaking with a teacher, while over a cup of coffee.
Anne said, "Tonight, I will finally get to be with Arnold!" Gerald was shocked to hear it.
Anne continues, "Oh, I can't wait to be with him. I'll be serving dinner with him, and this will be fun! It's my first time I'll be having a date with him!"
Gerald said to himself, "I've got to tell this to him!" then he ran, unfortunately, he didn't finish eavesdropping on Miss Hathaway.
Anne continued, "Tonight, I'll finally be with my boyfriend, Arnold Schelter."
Outside
Arnold said, "What?"
Gerald informed him, "I heard her right! I thought you had a crush on you, but no, she really DOES have a crush on you! (Imitates Anne) 'Oh, I can't wait to be alone with Arnold!'"
Arnold asked, "Are you sure?"
Gerald said, "Yes, I heard it with my two ears! She does have a crush on you!"
Helga was walking on the place where Arnold is and she said, "Hey, what's going on here?"
Gerald quickly said, "Um, Helga, there's no time! We're sorry, but we've got to go! It's an emergency!" Then Gerald pulled Arnold away from Helga and they ran away, leaving Helga. Helga then whined, "Oh, Running, running away from me, my beloved! Oh, how I wish I could run with him, run with him to the finish line as Ms. Arnold- Hey, what is his last name?"
Hehehe, it's about time to face the music. But of course, Arnold has to prepare for his first date- with an actress! Find out later on the next chapter… soon!
