A/N: Sorry it took a while for this chapter, I had a bit of writer's block. Which sucks. But hopefully the ideas I came up with are okay, and I hope you all enjoy it. (:

"Arnold!" an irritating voice called from behind, "I hope oh-so badly that you remembered the note."

Sighing, he took a neatly folded piece of paper out of his pocket. "Yeah, I do."

"Well, let me see it. We wouldn't want to be fooled, and let you give her a blank piece of paper, now would we?" The brunette stated. "Hand it over."

"Rhonda, it's the note." Arnold unfolded it, revealing the love letter, and Rhonda grinned.

"Fabulous. Your best bet is to put it in her locker, before she gets here. Oh, this is going to be priceless!" She giggled, and walked away with her best friend.

"Yeah, sure it is. Now, to just find the closest trash can, and then I'm done." He crumbled up the letter, and walked in the opposite direction, trying to find a good path to discard it where no one would see him. "Ugh, all the garbage cans are in the classrooms. I guess I'll have to go to homeroom, first…"

"Hello, Arnold!" A polite voice said.

Startled, Arnold swung around, and relaxed when he saw it was only Phoebe. "Oh, hey Phoebe. I didn't see you at the party last night. Weren't you invited?"

"Yes, but I decided to hang out with Helga instead. I felt bad that she wasn't invited…err…once again."

"Uh, right. Helga…" A look of nervousness spread across his face, although he was trying to hide it as best as he could.

It obviously didn't work. "Is something the matter, Arnold? You seem to be…slightly distracted today."

"Yeah, I-I'm fine. I'm just uh…a little dazed, that's all. The party ran pretty late last night and…I went to sleep at about 2 a.m."

"Oh, very well. If you don't mind me asking, what's that in your hand? It seems to me that you're, well, hiding something, perhaps?"

"It's nothing. It's um, an old algebra assignment that I found buried in my locker. I thought I should just throw it out, you know?"

Raising an eyebrow in suspicion, the petite girl inquired, "but Arnold, you don't have algebra yet. Don't you have it next semester?"

"OH! Um, right! Did I say algebra? I meant…Biology. Yeah, that's what I meant."

"If you say so. I should get going…wouldn't want to be tardy."

"Yeah, uh me too. Seen you around, then."

"Goodbye, Arnold." Phoebe smiled, and walked away. 'Something's going on…and I'm going to find out what. Let's see. He was at Rhonda and Lila's party last night. They tend to do some…crazy things.' She made her way towards the two best friends, and heard them giggling from a foot away. "Um, hello girls. How are you?"

"Phoebe! We gave you an ever-so special invitation to our biggest party yet, and you didn't even decline, you just didn't show up." Lila pouted, attempting to act innocent.

"Yeah, I mean, what's up with that? Rude, much?" Rhonda started to walk away, until a voice called her back.

"Wait, I wanted to ask you something. About…Arnold. He seems to be very distracted today, and I was just wondering if--"

"If we had anything to do with it? How dare you even ask us that, Phoebe!"

"I wasn't about to say that…I was just wondering if you knew what was bothering him."

The red-head giggled, but stopped as soon as she was elbowed on the side. "Look, if we tell you…you're just going to ruin it completely. I'm sorry, but you might have to just find out for yourself. You're good at that, aren't you?" Turning her back towards her, the girls walked away, giggling and whispering.

"Well, maybe I will just find out for myself…" Phoebe mumbled to herself, and made her way towards her homeroom.

"Yes! Finally, a trash can. Now, just discard it, and she won't…uh-oh." Shuffling in his pocket some more, he had a frantic look on his face. "Oh no, where is it?"

A/N: Haha, cliffy. (: Yeah, I hate them too. But it's fun to write them, no? Anyway, this is where I'm going to get completely stuck: chapter 6. I would appreciate it so much if any of you have any ideas to share for the next chapter. I'll love you. (: I hope you all enjoyed this…the next chapter should be up at least by Monday. Bye.
