Hi everybody!
I hope you enjoy this chapter! heruisdkferdfgrendfl!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold. Yeah, that's pretty much it. You're lucky I'm in a not so irritated mood right now. Otherwise, I would KILL YOU!
Ha, just kidding! But seriously, I don't own the show, so stop bugging me for it.
He still couldn't believe what he wrote! The very idea of the words astonished him. As he thought about it throughout the remainder of the classtime, he couldn't help but sense that strange familiar feeling again. Only it's stronger now. He still couldn't identify it, but he knows that whatever this feeling was, he hasn't felt it in a long time.
Maybe it has something to do with that disappointment I felt in preschool. When he thought about that disappointment, he realized that this strange, unidentified feeling came with another feeling with which he could identify. Relief. He now feels relief. This is the feeling that has rendered the disappointment null and void.
So now all that's leftout in the open is the unknown, yet strongly familiar feeling that is no longer hidden by disappointment. He still couldn't figure it out. It's no longer hidden by anything yet he doesn't have a clue as to what it is.
He thought about this for the remainder of the class.
After the bell rang and the rest of the class ran out of the room, eager to get home, Helga was on her way out the door and saw the crumpled up paper in the bin. She took it out and as she started to unravel it, she saw a bunch of doodles of the shape that was oh, too familiar to her crewdly drawn and smudged slightly along the edges. As she continued to unravel it, she thought, Oh, great! Who's he crushing on now? I bet he hasn't gotten over Li-
Her thoughts were screeched to a halt by what she saw in the middle of the page. She was taken aback by the words she saw. She couldn't believe it. She was so awestruck that only two words came into her mind, and strangely voiced by Rhonda instead of herself.
No way.
She folded up the paper quick and stowed it next to her locket. She decided she'd look at it again when she got home as she headed out the door to the bus.
"So Arnold, what's wrong? You seemed distracted today." Gerald asked as the bus pulled away from the school.
No answer.
"Seriously, man. What's got you so distracted lately?" He said with an eyebrow raised.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Gerald. I just need some time to think, that's all."
"Are you sure you don't need to talk about it?"
Arnold shook his head. "No. I need to sort things out before I can talk about it."
Gerald nodded. "Okay, man. Just don't lose yourself, okay?"
They did their secret handshake. "I-I won't."
They sat through the rest of the busride in silence. They walked home in silence. Arnold went up to his room in silence. When his door was completely shut, he started pacing his room, thinking. What is that feeling I have? It makes no sense. Why is this feeling so familiar? And why do I keep thinking about Helga?
He stopped. Wait. There's a connection between Helga and this unnamed feeling. But what? And why would I get lost in her eyes twice in one day?
As Arnold thought that over, he then remembered the paper from earlier that day. No, no. That can't be it. Can it? I knew it was possible. But this soon?
Then he remembered the conversation a couple weeks ago. More specifically, what she said when she left.
"Aurevoir, Arnold."
That sounds so familiar. Where did I hear that before?
Then his eyes widened. Valentine's day! Cecile, or, the girl who pretended to be Cecile, said that when she left me at Chez Paris. Then he realized. That must have been Helga in that outfit! Well, at least I know why she did it. She told me she liked me then, too. And I kissed her hand goodbye as we departed.
Arnold paused. What? Wait, I'm supposed to meet them in the park! Arnold grabbed his baseball and his brown leather glove as he headed out his bedroom door.
"See ya, grandpa! I'm going to play some catch in the park!" He said as he passed the family room.
"Okay! Be back by six, short man!" Phil replied as Arnold was on his way out the front door.
Soooo, what did you think? Please let me know!
I give eternal thanks to all of my faithful readers! I can only hope and pray that you stay faithful! I love you all!
I'm sorry about it being a short chapter. I coudn't really think of anything more to add. Sorry.
Now, I must be saying goodbye. I know you must be balling your eyes out right now. I bid you a do.
I can't think of something funny to put here, so...
REVIEW!
