Five Hundred Words
~Arnold and Helga Drabbles
Second One Hundred
Inspired by theme #02 ~ metaphor
Helga is a puzzle. She is a puzzle with a few key pieces missing, and Arnold is always trying to put her together and see who she really is. One moment she calls him "Football-Head" or "Hair-Boy", the next she smiles at him and is nice. For all the spit-balls and pranks, she has never once hit him with her fists, like other bullies. She rescues him sometimes from punches. How could one girl be so confusing? He was sure once he had the missing pieces he would know what to do. He just had to find them.
