Chapter 3: Love and Lila.
The next 2 weeks Arnold and I started dating. We still haven't told anyone yet, but I knew today was the day. But, I had to tell Phoebe first. She was my best friend, after all. Finally I found her, except she was kissing Gerald. "Hey Phoebe, can we talk for a minute?" I said. She nodded and followed me. "So Helga, is this a very serious conversation? You never call me by my real name." She said. She knew me so well.
"Well yeah, actually it is serious, so you know how I still love (ice cream?)" She giggled and said "Haha yes?" "Um well, we are dating." Phew talk about a huge relief. At first Phoebe looked shocked, then she smiled and said "Helga I'm so happy for you, that's exquisite news! Who else knows?" "No one, yet." I said. Arnold told me he would tell Gerald later today so I wasn't lying. *Ring Ring* "Oh dear, it seems I must take this, call you later ok?" Phoebe said. I nodded and off she went. So I decided to get ready for class, I saw Arnold in the hallway and wanted to hold his hand so bad. "Not yet Helga, not yet." I had
said to myself. Arnold saw me and walked towards me. "Hey Helga, did you tell Phoebe?" He asked. "Yep, she was so glad." I said. "Have you told Gerald?" I asked. "Nope, but tonight he's coming to my house so I'll make sure to tell him then." He said. "It's really hard not being able to do anything romantic in school yet." I told him. "Yeah I agree, 100%." He said. He looked around before gently kissing my check and saying goodbye. I still couldn't believe he liked me. It was like a dream. I grabbed my books
and headed towards my science classroom, when I bumped into someone. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you." I said. I looked down at the person and you'll never believe who it was, that's right Lila. Lila looked at me like I had just done something disgusting. Then she walked right up and said "You better stay away from Arnold, or someone will get hurt." Before I even had a chance to respond she smiled and picked up her books and skipped away. Ugh, never liked that b****. Finally I walked into my classroom. Little did I know, class had ended. After all the chaos, I was late. Stupid Lila. School was finally over and I could go home. I wanted to ask Phoebe to walk home with me but she had to study. So I walked home by myself. It had been a long time since I had walked home alone. When I came inside I saw Bob watching some dumb football game and Miriam snoring on the kitchen table. Nothing new here. When I arrived in my room I saw a note. It said "Meet me at my house at 8:00pm, you're going to want to see this." Signed
Arnold. I looked at the clock and it was already 7:30. So I took a nap. It was 8 and I headed to his house. I opened his front door and saw him and Gerald. "Mm mm mm! Arnold why did you invite Helga G, Pataki here?" Said Gerald. "Well Gerald, we have to tell you something, were dating." Said Arnold. "Wow Helga and Arnold? Dating? Now I've seen everything." Gerald said. I looked at him and made him shut up.
"Well Arnold as long as your happy." Gerald said. Then they did their classic handshake. "I gotta go, I made a reservation for me and Phoebe at Chez Paris. " And off Gerald went. "Now that were alone, follow me." Arnold said. I followed him upstairs. He opened his bedroom door and I saw a pile of rose petals on the bed and his whole room was decorated with candles. "A-Arnold, did you do this all for
me?" I asked him. He laughed and said "Of course, Helga, we've never really had any fun, if you know what I mean. I blushed, "Well I thought you didn't like that kinda stuff." I said. He said "I don't, but if it's with you, I do." I was really shocked with what he was saying. Without giving me time to respond he pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. I kissed back and started to put my arms around his
waist. His hand started towards my right breast and my face turned red. "Helga, you I know I love you right?" He said. "Of course I love you too." And this time he actually put his hand on my breast. I didn't care, I loved this guy. I knew we wouldn't do anything like that yet. After a while of kissing he had to pee. So after he left the room I took off my shirt and pants and all I had on left was my bra and undies. He walked in and saw me. Immediately I saw his thing bulge. He walked towards me and we kissed again. At this point we had done everything but sex. I wasn't ready and neither was he. I had to go home soon. But I got so tired and I accidently slept on Arnold. I woke up and remembered where I was. I smiled. Thank God it was the weekend. He woke up and kissed my forehead. I sighed. *BANG BANG BANG!* "What the hell was that?" I said. He looked up at the windows on his roof. It was Lila trying to break in.
