She's all that chapter 2: trying to impress

Hey guys so I would like to thank you all for the reviews. I did edit the first chapter because I wasn't that happy with it. So, I did change a few things around now it flows better and goes with the movie. To Timewarp321. I am going to try to go by the movie as best as I can. I am watching it as am typing and stopping the move. Because of this I had to do some changes in the previous chapter. I will make Helga is not going to be as tame as Laney was. She still has her attitude she doesn't always show it. But she will have her snarky comments. Especially at the party. I did change the characters a bit from other fanfics out there. But story is about she's all that, so the characters must change. To guest and (guest) thank you for your reviews. Now on with the show.

Disclaimer I do not own any characters or plot lines. I wish I did though 😊

Arnold just turned off the tv of watching Rhonda's new boy toy and started eating an apple when his sister Emma turns and says "so enough of the guy who replaced you" Arnold sighs and asks "how did you hear about it? You go to a different school?" Emma puts down her eyeliner and looks at him.

"Look Arnold the whole town heard about it. So, who's the rebound skank" she turns and goes back to putting her make up on. Arnold finishes his apple and throws it in the trash as he finishes chewing "well there's no rebound skank. More of a …. Project" he chuckles to himself. Still trying to figure out how he can make Helga the next prom queen. I mean sure she calmed down a lot she is still scary and unapproachable by all. He was thinking about how it went down at school when Emma nudged him.

"I said a project?" he sighed and said, "well yeah to tell you the truth she kind of blew me off today."

Emma puts her makeup down and smiles" well I like her already." He; laughed and said, "well to be honest I think it was some kind of mistake." Emma puts her make up brush down and looks at Arnold and says, "Arnold I know this may come as a shock to someone who is such a bitch magnet did it every occur to you to make a little effort." "what do you mean" he asks confused. "D=find out where she hangs out, find out what she likes. Ah crap mom and dad are home." She gets up and grabs her bag says "if mom and dad ask I am going to be at Sophies house. He brother just came back from being kicked out of military school. And he is so hottt." As she closes the door Arnold thinks of how he can get her to go out with him. Yes, after the whole FTI debacle he could have had some sway in it. Then again when they went to the jungle and saved his parents. He found out he had a sister two year younger then him. She goes to an all-girl private school. She has taken the city life well. For the past nine years. Helga and he shared a moment but that all changed when they got back

Arnold walks into the living room where his dad is. Miles is going through the mail and says, "Hey Arnold how was the first day back?" as his mom walks past and kisses Arnolds cheek. "eh school is school." He says Stella puts on and earing and says, "Rhonda and the girls have a good time in Florida?" he just shrugs and says, "I guess so." As Stella walks out of the room. Miles turns to him and says, "There is still no word from the Dartmouth application?" Arnold panics and says, "oh you know how things go." And tries to walk away. Miles stop him by saying, "Maybe I should give my old college a call and see of we can get things moving." Arnold in total panics says a little to enthusiastically "NO! I mean no, just give it toll the end of the week. I am sure it is on his way." Miles looks down and slowly agree "Only till the end of the week. Arnold walks up the stairs and pulls the cord and go to his room in the boardinghouse. Which is no longer a boarding house. After Arnolds grandparents died when he was kin the seventh grade his parents decided to turn it into a home instead. So, the boarders moved out and the house became a quiet home. They expanded it a bit, so it looks smore like a big house then an apartment complex. Arnold closes his door and sits at his desk. He looks around and pulls out the file by his laptop that has all his college acceptance letters. Still trying to figure out where to go. And he is running out of time.

Meanwhile

At the shopping mall Rhonda, phoebe, and Lila were shopping. Rhonda turns and asks Phoebe "can you believe this still hurts" phoebe just looks at her and gets angry and says, "who cares" Rhonda is put off by this and says, "and what are you so up bent about now?" her tone says she doesn't care. "well last week we were working on your acceptance speech for prom queen, and its Thad this Thad that. And the tattoo doesn't get me started on the tattoo Rhonda the last thing you want to do before the election is alienate people. You may not like the outcome." Says phoebe Lila just nods. Rhonda asks, "and what is that supposed to mean?" she raises her eyebrow. Lila who was listening the whole time says, "What I think she is trying to say is you need to be careful." Rhonda put off by this gets all drama queen and says "I ma Rhonda Fucking Wellington-Lloyd. I am an Icon. I can win this thing in poor lighting, no makeup, on my first day of my period dressed in TJ Max" she shivers (My mother was prom queen, my grandmother was prom queen, my cousin would have been prom queen if it wasn't for the rash from the concert tour. I am a god damn legend and not to sound like a bitch but who is going to beat Rhonda wellington-Lloyd?" As she walks off leaving them in the dust Phoebe looks over at Lila and they just hake their heads and follow. Phoebe says, "God I hope that's not your acceptance speech." And Lila just laughs agreeing with her.

When Helga was fifteen she got a job at a café. She works there everyday after school and most weekends except when finals and midterms are coming up. Helga was talking to a customer confirming his order and asking if he would like to supersize his order. when Arnold walks in and waves at her. He says "Helga" she looks over and her blue sapphire eyes widen and thinks what the hell does HE want? He stands behind her customer when the customer asks "Well, what does the supersize entail?" Helga looks at Arnold with a fake smile talking through her teeth and says "Stalking is illegal in all fifty sates football Head" as she goes back to her customer Arnold keeps trying to talk until Helga looks at her customer and says "excuse me sir while you think about" she marches up to Arnold and grabs a hold of his shirt and pulls him a side she has her usual scowl on and Arnold instantly got a Deja vu going on. He pulls the collar of his shirt when Helga demands "What is it you want hair boy, as you can see I am busy. You know what I am not that smart. I know your thinking oh look its Helga Pataki she's smart she can help me with my homework." The whole time Arnold is trying to talk but she keeps cutting him off until he grabs her and "HELGA!" she looks at him surprised and Arnold lets go and shakes his head for a minute and steps back "I have one of the highest GPA in our whole school I don't need tutoring." Helga looks at him quizzical and looks at brainy he just shakes his head at her. Now Helga had a slight blush on her face and said "If you don't want help tutoring what the hell do you want? She crosses her arms as she stares at Arnold with her eyebrow raised. The scowl back on fa e. Arnold starts t get very nervous and start to shuffle his feet. His hand goes to the back of his neck as he starts to rub his neck he looks down and realized he saw a pink notebook sticking out and membered how talented she was in English. "I had a question about poetry" he says nervously. Both her eyebrows go up at thins "poetry?" "Really?" she says very skeptically. "Well, yeah I love poetry." Helga shakes her head as she sighs and doesn't believe him. Mr. goody two shoes is lying why? She asked herself. "Poetry? How come I have never seen you any of my classes then?" she thinks she has him now. "well, you see, I have a big interest in poetry and I take online classes and after school because of football. Helga just looks at him not believing this for a minute as she's thinking about what to say she can't help but wonder what his angle is. When Brainy spoke up "Hey there a poetry reading on Saturday night at 8. You can have my ticket." Helga's head snaps over and she's giving him the death glare when Arnold brightens up and says "Really? You don't mind?" brainy just shakes his head as Arnold grabs the ticket and says "Thanks man, I owe you one. What do you say Helga?" Helga is so angry brainy grabs her arm and pulls her to the side. "Helga are you nuts, the hottest, coolest guy in school is taking an interest after so long and your blowing him off?" Helga is still angry but sees his point and sighs "It starts at 8 parking's a bitch be there by 7:0 at the latest." As she turns to walk away. Arnold grabs her arm and she turns her head with a raised eyebrow she looks at his hand and he quickly removes it and says "Thanks, Helga you won't regret it." She shakes her head and thinks I already do. Before she gets back behind the counter "Maybe do you want to grab…" he starts to ask but she cuts him off in her stern finalized voice "NO!" and starts ignoring him Arnold walks out think ok, ok I can do this its just a poetry reading it can't be that bad. As Helga goes back to her customer and asks, "Have you decided sir?" he says "Yes, I have, supersize my balls." Helga just looks at him and puts it in the register.

I know it is kind of short chapter, but I will post the next one up maybe tomorrow. So how will Arnold fare at the poetry reading? Will he have a better chance than Zack did in the movie? Questions, concerns, and comments are always welcome until next time my dears.
