…Chapter 3…

"Why didn't you tell me that you can write?" asked Arnold.

I tried, but you assumed that I was reminding you to write to your friends. She wrote

I waited until the teacher took them to their seats and I fumed. Arnold looked back to see me and all I did was wait until class ended, because I know that he would want to talk. The bell rang and here he was.

"I am sorry I didn't talk about…uh, Serena in my letters." I looked up to see him. "It was just, we found her over a year ago with a message from the Green Eyes that they saved her.

Oh Arnold, my ever so caring darling, helping a blind girl for…a year.

"Her eyes were badly damaged and we knew she could never see again. We tried to make her talk but no matter what we did, she just doesn't want to speak. This is the first time she ever wrote to talk to us."

"Okay, football head. I believe you. It's just…for a minute there, I thought I would get jealous and would have to fight for you, but since now I know that she's blind I can just feel sorry for her."

We hear a crash, Serena wanted to walk carefully towards Arnold bearing a written message but she tripped and fell onto the floor. "Best we talk during lunch. See you later."

…Lunch…

"Hey, you see Arnold helping out that blind girl?" Rhonda asks Nadine.

"Yeah, she seems pretty, though."

"Her face is pretty, and her hair isn't so bad, but she needs clothing help most of all."

I sat down at a table within earshot of Rhonda and her little group, and hearing every word of their conversation. My best friend Phoebe sat down next to me with her boyfriend Gerald, as always. Phoebe and I start up a conversation about our English test coming up when Arnold and Serena joined us.

"Here we go, here is your seat." He sat her down.

"Dude, why are you hovering over Serena? It looks like she's telling you that she can feed herself" said Gerald.

"Really?!"

"Well, doi Arnold, she has been waving her hands for like a minute" I said

He finally stopped fussing over her and began to eat and join the conversation.

"So, has anyone noticed how Mr. Sunshine acts like Mr. Simmons?"

"Their characteristics are similar to the fact that they are very sensitive with their feelings and most alike around certain age groups. One could only wonder if they ever meet in person" says Phoebe.

"Two completely different people with the same personality traits, good thing there isn't another Harold in this school."

"Helga, you're still funny as ever." I looked over at Serena frantically writing in her new journal.

Are you THE 'Helga?' She wrote.

"I guess I am what of it, blind girl." She writes back I have heard so much about you. Arnold talks about his friends all the time from his 4th grade class, yet he rarely talks about you. I looked over at Arnold with a glare, and she writes some more while staring at me.

Ever since I was found, both he and his parents kept a close eye on me, making sure that I won't fall or help me with eating food, but there were times where I just felt like myself. None of them knew that I was a light sleeper and I usually sit outside staring into nothing but darkness, there is no light in my seeing world. Sometimes at night I hear someone stirring. Dream talking. Most of the time I hear the name "Helga" and I wondered who it was, and now I know.

I was startled and looking over at Arnold he was blushing. "Wait, I 'dream' talked in my sleep?"

Very often, some even sounded like a confession.

"Well this is news to me. Hey Serena, you have anything embarrassing to tell us about Arnold from when he found you?"

We looked at her and she looked like she was a little nervous, but she found something that made her shake like she was laughing.

"Well tell us, blind girl" I said.

He was proposed to by a boy.

Us three laughed but Arnold shot up and asked "When did that happen?"

New Year's day, at the docks, we helped gather fish for a fish merchant and his son took an interest in you. I noticed, he didn't, that he was boyishly flirting. Talking to him about how "strong" he was and asked if he wanted to swim in the night. As the day went to an end, that boy gave Arnold his family necklace, but was sadly declined. But that boy did find another the next day.

"I didn't know that. Gosh, I was horrible to him."

"Don't sweat it, football head. He found another guy. He is happy now."

"How did you know that it was a proposal?"

His Aura told me that he was infatuated with Arnold.

"Oh…wait, his 'AURA'?"

…Still Lunch…

I watched her trying to explain as fast as she could, but I could tell that she was shaky.

Imagine yourself in a dark and very black world…that is the world I see. No depictions of light or shapes, just darkness. When I look at people, their hearts radiate light and their minds change colors. It takes a form of the person's outline. I still don't see clothing or features, but I know that you four have such good hearts that I can see you clearly. Yet, the thing is, I do not know what the colors are.

"You don't know what 'Colors' are?" I asked.

For what little fragments of memories I have, I definitely know that I was born completely color blind. I saw everything in black and white, with shades of grey that are supposedly colors. Other than that, I never knew the colors of the rainbow. Whatever the Green-Eyed people did gave me some eyesight, in a form I do not know.

"Wow. That is…wickedly cool."

For these new colors that I do not know, I can just look at them and just feel what the colors are meant for. All of you have the colors of Fascination and I am feeling a bit nervous, right now.

I looked over at Arnold and thought we should change the subject.

"Hey what are your next classes?"

"Let's see, I have science, and Serena's is…creative writing."

"That's the same as mine. Hey I could walk you over, Serena. Ms. Orchid is a wonderful teacher."

I thank you very much Helga.

"No prob."

The bell rang as we got up, Serena bumped into the wicked witch of this high school, Lindsay St. Clair…

"Watch where you're going, loser, you have just about to make me break a nail."

All she could do is bow her head, but Lindsay had more to say.

"What is the matter with you? Cat got your tongue? Speak to me when I'm talking to you!"

"She can't, she has a psychological problem that makes her unable to speak" Arnold spoke up.

Lindsay just looked at him. I could tell she was calculating something. Gerald, Phoebe, and I knew that she was up to something. Why did it have to be today that Lindsay appears?

"You're new, and very cute too. As long as she stays out of my way then she is safe. How about you? Would you like to hang out with me after school?"

I snapped, "You do no such thing, Princess. He already has plans with me!"

She left not while after she says "For Now."
