Invitation-Lila x Sid. Requested by MemyselfandI373
Once again, the whole 4th Grade of PS 118 was invited by the princess - Or Rhonda Welling Lloyd to a prestigious party on her house. But this time, it was a little different. In order to get in the party, you must bring a date with you.
Apparently, it's to not make the people that didn't dance the last time look like losers, but seriously? Yes it seemed mean but it was for their own benefit. Or that's what the princess had said herself.
"Hey Sid, You comin' to Rhonda's party?" Stinky asked, sitting on the wooden bench while throwing rocks to the fence.
Sighing, he joined in with his best friend as the two reluctantly picked up stray rocks while casually throwing them towards the gate. "I don't know man.. I don't want to go, really. I mean, I have to bring a girl with me.."
The taller boy, turned to his friend with a semi-serious look. "It's just girls, Sid. There's nothing wrong with them, they don't bite. Except for Helga. That girl reeaally bites."
"Yea but I don't think any girl would want to go with me. I mean, look at me, Stinky! I'm not exactly like-like material..." Giving another groan, he threw a fairly large rock on the barrier and managed to scare some stray sparrows.
"Shucks Sid, don't be so hard on yourself." Stinky sighed, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. "I'm sure you can ask one girl out, I mean, there's plenty of girls enough for everyone, I think..."
The two surveyed the School playground and surpringly, all the girls from their class came into view.
Helga and Phoebe were trying out some sort of device that throws pies directly at your face. Phoebe wrote some notes down on her wooden clipboard and gave her best friend a thumbs up, making the girl grin mischieviously.
Rhona and Nadine were hanging out with Lila, braiding their hairs while sharing each other gossips and rumours. Lila, being the nice girl she is, would just laugh along and not believe a single thing.
Sheena was practicing her choreography with Eugene and Patty was no-where to be seen. Probably in the bathroom.
"I know, maybe I should ask Rhonda to her party! That way, I won't have to dance since she would be too busy attending other people besides me."
"Nuh Uh, Sid, I think that's a bad idea. I already asked Miss Rhonda out and she said yes to me." Stinky said in a matter-of-factly tone, shaking her head. "Maybe you should go ask Lila. I think no-one asked her yet."
"Lila?! But doesn't Arnold like her?"
"Well, they're not technically boyfriend and girlfriend. I mean, Lila just likes him, not like like him.. I think you got a shot there."
Taking off his cap as he straightened his hair, he whispered a small 'wish me luck' as he headed towards the girl's direction, picking up flowers he had found on the ground. To his luck, Rhonda and Nadine dispered, leaving the girl alone on the bench with a fish-tail plait on her hair.
"Uh Lila.. Do you want to go on Rhonda's part with me?" Crap. Was that too straight-forward?
"Oh Sid..." She said, slowly, fingers playing with each other. Here comes the rejection- "I would love to go with you! I'm just ever so eager. Thank you so much for asking me!"
Wait, Did he just got a date..? Whew, that was easy. "I, Uh... Got you these flowers." Shyly, he pushed the yellow dandelions to the girl's hand. "I'll pick you up at 7, okay?"
"Flowers? Thank you ever so much!" The redhead gave the boy a quick hug as she placed the flowers on her hair. "I'm ever so happy that you asked me, Sid! This will be really fun."
Rush of heat crawled to the boy's cheek as he made his way back to Stinky.
"So how did it go? Did Miss Lila reject you?"
"No, she said yes to me! Can you believe it? I'm going to the party with a date! With Lila!"
"Well, you sure are a Lucky man, Sid. You sure are..."
A football-headed kid with cornfield-coloured locks made his way towards the redhead girl, cheeks filled with red tints.
"Hey Lila." He said, attempting to act natural.
"Oh hello Arnold." The girl waved to him. "Gee, are you sick Arnold? Your face is red..."
"Oh that? Well..." Coughing a bit, he kept his hands on his pocket. "I just wanted to ask you if you want to go to Rhonda's party with me? You know? As friends..."
Her smile dropped slowly as he talked. "Oh I'm ever so sorry to tell this to you, Arnold, but someone already asked me out."
Hearing the bell ring, she stood up from her seat and made her way to the entrance door. "And I said yes."
His smile and hopes also dropped as she left the scene. Behind the brick wall, his bestfriend, Gerald placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Tough luck, man. Told you you should've asked her earlier."
"Well, I guess I'm not going to Rhonda's party then. Have fun with Phoebe."
"N'aww, man, don't be like that!" Tapping his chin, he thought up the most ridiculous suggestion. "Hey, why don't you ask Helga? That way, both of you can go. And you only have to dance with her for a few times and both of you did danced together in the April Fool's Dance."
"Helga? I don't know..."
"Come on man! You can hang out with me if you don't want to go with her.."
"Fine.. I'll ask her." Rolling his eyes, the two made their way back to their classes, planning what tuxedo they should wear for the party.
