In the lockers inside the PS 118 Gerald ask Arnold to show him the new locket.
"C'mon man, why you don't want to show me?" Gerald asked as he opened his locker.
"I told you Gerald, is not that like I don't won't to, it just, I can't." Replied Arnold as he open his locker.
"And why you can't?"
"Well ... as I was trying to say before you interrupted me, yesterday I forget to reconnect my alarm, so today I got up late, I left quick my room and forget it on the desktop" Arnold lied about it, not being safe to tell him or not.
"Is that why you have the shirt backwards?" He asks while pointing Arnold's shirt.
"What?" Asked surprised watching his shirt. "Do not tell me that I have had it like this all day?"
Quickly they close the lockers and go quickly to the bathroom so Arnold could accommodate the shirt but forgot to put his green sweater again.
"Arnold, your sweater"
"Oh, thanks Gerald" Says this as he put it on.
"You are very distracted today too Arni" Gerald said suspiciously when they come out of the bathroom.
"If I didn't know you, I would say that you have something or 'somebody' in mind"
"W-w-what? O-of course not" Arnold answered nervously as she blushes with his friend's comment.
"Do not tell me is Lila again, man, she only likes you"
Arnold sighs and decides to try be honest with his friend, but not saying everything.
"It's not Lila, actually is … someone else" He says this while deviates a little the look as he blushes a little again.
"If not Lila, then who is?" His friend asked curiously.
'Sorry, but I can't tell you, I don't know if you like the answer' he thought.
There was silent for a moment and said the first name that came to his mind.
"Well is ... Helga" Someone who also was around in his thoughts, but not in the same way as she did.
"Helga? Helga?" Gerald asks as Arnold nods his head slightly
"I know she can be a little annoying, but I really think that she can be friendly in the bottom" Arnold said as he staring at his friend
"Arnold we are talking about Helga G. Pataki, She always teasing you with pranks and nicknames" He said this as he raised his arms in the air
"I think she behaves that way because she feels insecure to show her feelings." He really weighed about it, though that wasn't what really distracted "Besides, you remember that she helped us to save the neighborhood"
"I still don't understand why she did that, I say, her house was not in the area and she would become rich."
"Well she first said that she had pity on us, but then she said that she doesn't hate us as much as we thought..." Arnold paused and remember what happened that day with Helga.
FLASHBACK (This is a part of the Hey Arnold Movie so I don't describe what happen)
Arnold: "Deep Voice!"
Helga: "Don't come another step closer. Pay no attention to that man with the voice box."
Arnold: "Who are you?"
Helga: "No one in particular."
Arnold: "No more games Deep Voice. I'm not doing anything until I know who you are. Helga? You? You're Deep Voice?"
Helga: "Ha-ha looks like it."
Arnold: "But I don't get it. How come you couldn't just tell me what you knew? Why'd you have to make up all this crazy secret identity?"
Helga: "No reason."
Arnold: "But Helga you just risked everything to help me save the neighborhood."
Helga: "So? What's your point?"
Arnold: "That's pretty amazing thing to do for someone you clam to hate."
Helga: "Yeah, well I'm a pretty amazing person, football head."
Arnold: "But I, I thought you were on your dad's side. I thought you were get rich off the whole deal."
Helga: "Money isn't everything."
Arnold: "Helga, why'd you do it?"
Helga: "It's my civic duty."
Arnold: "Helga."
Helga: "Because I love a good mystery."
Arnold: "Oh come on. What's the real reason?"
Helga: "Oh I don't know Arnoldo. Maybe I just took pity on you and your stupid friends."
Arnold: "Well, why?"
Helga: "Because- because I guess maybe I don't hate you as much as I thought, okay? I guess maybe I even kind of like you a little. Heck I guess you might I like you a lot."
Arnold: "You do? You did this for me?"
Helga: "That's right, hair-boy, I mean Criminey what else are you supposed to do when someone you love is in trouble?"
Arnold: "Love?"
Helga: "You heard me, pal. I love you, love you. Who else do you think has been stalking you night and day, building shrines to you in a closet, filling books with poems about you? I love you, Arnold. I've always loved you ever since I first laid eyes on your stupid football head. And from that moment since, I lived and breathed for you, dreamed of the moment I could finally tell you my secret feelings, and could grab you and kiss you! Oh Come here, you big lug!"
-The Big Kiss-
Arnold: "I'm confused. Did you just say you loved me?"
Helga: "What? Are you deaf?"
Gerald: "Arnold!"
Helga: "Not Now!"
Gerald: "Not Now? Who the..."
Helga: "Oh, Arnold, just hold me."
Arnold: "I ... I ... I need to think."
Helga: "Yes I suppose you need to do the thinking for both of us now darling."
Arnold: "Wow this is all happing too fast. I feel dizzy. I need to lie down."
Helga: "Wonderful. I'll go with you."
Arnold: "No. I mean, there's no time for that. We've got 20 minutes to get back to the neighborhood before the bulldozers roll."
After all the mess
Arnold: "Pretty crazy day."
Helga: "Yeah, we said a lot of nutty things."
Arnold: "Yeah."
Helga: "Yeah. Well, about all that stuff I said, Arnold, It... It was crazy back there, and..."
Arnold: Yeah, with all the excitement we just kind of..."
Helga: "Got carried away?"
Arnold: "You didn't really mean all that did you? You don't really love me, right?"
Helga: "Right."
Arnold: "You were caught up in the moment. Right?"
Helga: "Right."
Arnold: "You actually hate me, don't you?"
Helga: "Of course I hate you, you stupid football and don't you ever forget it, ever!"
End of Flashback
Gerald let out a little sigh and start talking with his friend.
"So ... do you like Helga?" He asked in a calmer way with a look of concern.
"Of course not, where did you get that idea?"
"Man, I saw you blush when I ask you into who you were thinking."
'I'll have to tell him, I only hope we can still be friends' Arnold thought that was the only option.
"Well, about that ..." He began to speak as he rubbed his neck.
"It's a secret" Gerald suddenly interrupted.
"Huh?" Arnold looked surprised at his friend.
"You want to keep it secret, I do not blame you for it, I think it's good that people keep an occasional secret, and I know when you think you can tell me, you will tell me who is she" Gerald explained.
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course, that's what friends are for" As soon he said that both made their special greeting.
"Thank you Gerald" When they finished talking Arnold breathed a sigh of relief.
"Leaving aside the subject, what is it you plan about Helga?" Gerald asked.
"Well, I thought about trying to meet the real Helga, I really think she could be someone nice and we could become good friends" When he finished talking they start walking towards the classroom, besides wanting to be friends with Helga, he wants to clarify a very important issue with her.
Nearby, just around the corner the best friend who they was talking, a black hair girl with Japanese ancestry, overheard part of the conversation on her way to the classroom.
"Arnold? Thinking about Helga? And he are interested in being friend with her?" Phoebe questioning herself with some exaltation.
"I must tell Helga, those are good news" She said this as she put his hand on his chest.
"But if they are good news, then ... why I felt a little pain in my chest when he was talking about that?" She asked when she continued her way to the classroom.
'I better forget about that and tell her what I hear.' She thought as she entered and sit.
And here is the second chapter, The third chapter will take longer because I am in weeks of evaluation.
