DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT
Phoebe P.O.V.
I looked up to see Lila in her usual green outfit but this time it was sleeveless and an added belt that wasn't there earlier glittered in the light. She was asking Mr. Bolt something but my mind wasn't focused on that. No, instead it was focused on my best friend the angry aggressive side was coming out of her, just streaming. Her face red with a mix of embarrassment and rage that only I noticed since I knew exactly what she was planning to do.
"Hey Helga you alright?" I whispered to her while following her gaze to see Lila talking to the teacher but really looking towards Arnold while twirling her ever so long (in Lila's words) pigtails.
"Yeah Pheebs I'm fine but don't you have work to excel on. You know your brain have to be pumping every ten seconds. Nerd." she replied in a rude and nasty tone. Gosh what a low blow I so don't deserve this.
Turning away from my ungrateful best friend I looked over to my left at Gerald. "Hey um.." Great my little girl shyness was coming back. "Um.. never mind I have to finish this problem so we talk after class." He just shrugged with his too cool but clueless way.
Ah what did I get myself into. I looked down at the problem and couldn't even read the first letter let alone word. Think Phoebe think two months ago when my Papi (she studied Spanish with herfamily during the summer resorting to that name) gave me that IQ test my grade was so high that he said I had an intelligence that was manifested in being quick, witty and just overblown cleverness. But now that I had fallen for a taken boy I can't even read. Gosh I shudder at the very thought.
"Pheebs Phoebe PHOEBE!" I awoken out of my thoughts to a loud yelp coming from Gerald. "Finally what happened to you the bell rang and you were staring blanking at your paper. Is everything okay cause that's so not like you?"
"Yeah sorry come on we need to talk." I grabbed my books, adjusted my glasses and walked out the room. But I couldn't help to notice Mr. Bolt looking at me strangely but winking at Gerald. Which was strange but I had bigger fish to fry so I shrugged it off.
"Okay here's the deal Helga like Arnold and when I say like I mean like like. Like totally dating, man and wife, mother and father type stuff. Carries his picture in her locket which is sometimes stored in her pocket. Even writes poems about him while punching the daylights out of Brainy." I say in a fast hushed tone knowing that I probably gave to much away and Gerald might think Helga a obsessed stalker.
"Wait come on Phoebe I know you told this joke before but all the added stuff makes it even funnier. HA nice rhyme there pocket locket." Gerald replied with the same laugh he had that day she told him something like this in the milkshake shop. Oh no he's helping me this time even if I have to raise my voice. I dragged him to the courtyard outside and st next to him on the bench making sure we wouldn't be overheard.
"This isn't a joke now you shut up and listen here Gerald Johansen! (hmm maybe Helga did rub off on me) I will not sit here and see my best friend die inside because Arnold can't get his mind off a grade school crush." Ha I'm one to think. Shaking my head I continued. "Now either you help me get them together or do I have to tell Nadine that you actually plotting to beat Rhonda at another class campaign and you know two things are right about that fact. One Rhonda and Nadine are best friends who loves telling each other gossip and two last time you beat her you weren't invited t cool parties for a month and you know how much you love those. " I looked at Gerald's face which happened to be unreadable, too many expressions and thoughts I guess. Probably also surprised I spoke loudly at him. I know I surprised myself but hey Helga is my best friend and I am her sidekick.
"Okay okay gosh when did you learn how to blackmail people? Especially me Pheebs I thought we had chemistry. " His face now was so close she could see his puffy curls in his up straight hair. Oh gosh this is it my first kiss.
"Ahem sorry about that umm... so what's the plans." Bummer I should have known. "Yeah the plans are for you to speak to your best friend and maybe hint around the topic and also ask about Lila. Even if him and Helga don't get together I know she be upset if Lila gets him."
"I don't get what y'all have against her she's a pretty sweet girl but whatever." He said after I shot him a look. "I go by Arnold's place after school work on some homework get him to start talking POW WOW BOOM we got the info. Am I cool or what? Oh excuse me Phoebe I got to meet Nadine by our tree see-ya!"
I look across at the stupid tree that got them together and us apart. No Phoebe don't think about that not right now at least. I don't deserve him anyway remember the motto we're just friends. Besides I hope he does alright with Arnold, Helga's counting on me and I mustn't fail.
AN: Ok guys that's the third chapter. I think I wrote Phoebe a little OOC it's kinda hard to write her. I'm better at Helga I suppose. I planned the outline out so I know where the story is going. I should update a little faster now during the weekends. But I would love if I get more reviews you know thats what gets me to write. So I won't be updating until I get 10+ reviews.
