Chapter#6: What a girl wants.
"There he is!." Nadine whispered to the girls as they stood in the hallways before school started.
Phoebe looked at her on again off again crush since the third grade looking handsome in his new 'do, what was killing her that so many girls have been noticing him now.
Arnold saw his girlfriend hanging out with the girls and walked towards them, of course his best friend following along.
"Hey Helga." Arnold sweetly held her hand in his.
"Hey." She smiled shyly but felt someone stare at her and saw Rhonda's teasing face which went away with the blonde's infamous scowl.
"Gerald I'll drop Helga to her locker and then go to class. Don't wait for me." Arnold told his best friend.
"Alright man."
"But Arnold, my locker isn't this way." Helga told him as they walked away from the group.
Arnold just gave her a wink which sent a warm wave through her body and she decided to trust him anyway.
She knew she wouldn't regret trusting an angel in human form…
"So… hi Phoebe." Gerald put his hands in his pockets and smiled nervously.
"Hello." She replied with equal shyness as she held on to her books tightly.
"We were just talking about going to the movies this weekend, wanna come Gerald?." Tried to get this conversation to go somewhere.
Phoebe shot her a 'What are you doing!.' Look which the raven haired princess ignored as she focused on the cute black boy.
"Sure." Gerald shrugged. "What are we gonna watch?."
"We'll think of something." Rhonda smiled cheekily.
"Ah-Ahem." A clearing of the thought made Rhonda turn around to find that measly little freak standing behind her.
"What do you want Curly?." Rhonda rolled her eyes as she walked past him and towards her locker.
"Well I couldn't help over hearing that you and a few friends are planning to go the cinema."
"I don't want you to come Curly." She simply told him and closed her locker and walked away.
If she only knew how hard he tried to pretend that her piercing words didn't hurt him… but he knew that someday she'll see him for who he is, and return those feelings he longed to share with her.
"You know, your brother's pretty hot with that new hairdo of his." One of the girls told Timberly as she was walking down the school hallways towards the cafeteria.
"Please they don't tell me that." She was obviously disgusted.
"No really, I'd totally date him if I wasn't in elementary school." Another girl joined in.
"Uh, aren't we a little too young to be talking about dating?." Timberly asked them.
"Aren't you a little too mature for a fourth grader?." The first one retorted and went away laughing with the other girl.
"That doesn't even make any sense!." She told herself before entering the cafeteria.
"Hey Timberly!." Her friend Trina called out to her from their table.
"Hey girls."
"Did you hear? Jordan's datin' Ashley." Her other friend Monique said.
"No way!."
"Who's Jordan?." Timberly asked.
"Chocolate boy! Girl!." Trina told her.
"Well that's nice. I guess."
"No it ain't," Monique said. "why would a nice boy like Jordan go out with that heffer?."
"I heard she blackmailing him." Trina started.
"I heard his momma and her momma are best friends, and they set them up for some kinda arranged marriage for when they grow up."
"Oh come on Monique." Timberly rolled her eyes.
"I heard her dad's making him date her or else."
"And I hear all these jealous people talking about me."
The girls found Ashley standing over them with a dirty scowl on her face, behind her was Jordan, Chocolate boy, hlding her lunch tray for her.
"Oh hi Ashley, we weren't really-." Timberly tried to reason but the blonde cut her off.
"Whatever. Come on Jordan, let's go." Chocolate boy followed her.
"That little-."
"Drop it Trina, who cares why she and Jordan are dating?. It's not like we have anything to do with it." Timberly warned before sipping on her orange juice.
"$35!." Sid groaned as he looked at the boots on display in one of the shops.
Ruth's birthday was coming up in a couple of weeks and she's been dropping hints that she had her eyes on those shoes and Sid really wanted to get her what she wanted… the problem is he didn't have the money for it.
"Sid, why are you late?." Gerald asked his friend with the weird nose when he came to Geraldfield.
"Maybe he was busy with his girlfriend, Ruth." Helga taunted.
"Sorry guys I was just… just checking on something." Sid told them
"Well take your place nose-boy, we're burning daylight."
"I hope things are going better between you and Ruth, Sid." Eugene sincerely told him as Sid stood next to him.
"Things are going great Eugene." Sid gave him a nervous smile.
Great…
Author's Note: I can picture Timberly growing up to a little more mentally mature than her peers, besides she's got two big brothers. Another short one, more action in the coming chapters I promise. In the meantime, I gotta go finish my pending college work… IT'S THE LAST WEEK OF THE SEMESTER! XD.
P.S-I named Choc. Boy 'Jordan' after his voice actor... the name does suit him though n-n.
