Challenge 6: Serenades In The Moonlight
"I'm ever so sorry about last night, Helga" I apologized to Helga in homeroom. "We didn't mean to hurt your feelings or ignore you. I guess Olga and I just got caught up in our wonderful song." I smiled at the back of Helga's head, hoping she would accept my apology.
Helga twisted to scowl at me, though I have no idea why. Olga and I were just ever so worried about her when we stopped serenading On Moonlight Bay and noticed she was gone. We looked all over the lake for her, but she was nowhere to be found. Olga hoped she was alright and we finished our sailing.
"I couldn't care less about you and OLLLLGA. But I wasn't going to sit there and listen to you two sing yourselves silly while I rowed around." I was uncertain why Helga would act like that. Then, I thought of something that ever so could be the reason.
"Helga? Are you jealous of me being with Olga?" I asked her.
"Of course not, I… I just…" stuttered Helga. She snarled and turned away. "I just think you two together are really annoying, that's all."
I sat in the desk next to her. "Are you sure Helga? I'm ever so confused why you would be upset over me asking if you're jealous." I smiled at her, hoping to get to her.
I guess I did, because she sighed and her face became clear of emotion. Frowning slightly, she whispered just ever so softly, "I'm jealous of you being with Olga, Lila."
I smiled, glad that she had told me her true feelings. It reminded me of the last time she had done that. I giggled slightly, and then I questioned her, "Why are you jealous of me and Olga, Helga?"
"Because you two just clicked the second you met and I've never been as close to my sister as you two have been, so I was jealous about how much fun you guys have been having and being together, so I tried to sabotage your good times." She took a breath after her long explanation. "It didn't work though; you always had some way to control the chaos I would set up."
I put my hand on hers, and she looked up at me. "I'm ever so sorry about making you jealous Helga." I smiled sincerely. I was sad that Helga would try to ruin my good times with Olga, but I understand why she did. And I forgive her for it, since no harm had ever come from it. Helga smiled slightly, and I got up and walked to my desk just as class was beginning to start.
I'm glad Helga isn't upset anymore, and I hope she and Olga become closer.
