Chapter 12

Normal POV

A few days went by for the gang. They have gone back to school and Helga saw an opportunity for a writing competition.

"Oh look Arnold!"

"What is it?"

"It is a chance to write script for a Christmas play!"

"That is perfect for you go for it!"

"Promise me one thing!"

"What is that?"

"I want you to go for the lead with me if it gets picked!"

"of course I will!"

"Well after school I will get it done!"

He smiled at her and all of them went to their classes. When Helga is in class she is fiddling with her new locket. And in an empty notebook she is writing some stuff for ideas for the script. By the time that class is over she has a script written and all she has to be type it and hand it in. Before she knew it the school day was done and she waited for Arnold by her locker so he could walk her to work.

When Arnold saw her leaning on her locker he started to blush.

"What is with your cheek Arnold?"

"Oh nothing! Lets get you to work what time you get off tonight?"

"8:30 why?"

"I will be there to pick you up so let's go!"

So they walked her to work. When they got there he kissed her cheek and ran home.

Arnolds POV

I still would like to know what she is writing for the script. But that does not matter I have to prepare everything for tonight. I think I have made her wait long enough. So tonight after she is done I will have a perfect mood set in the rooms. Well chances it will have to be my room.

Meanwhile Helga POV

Arnold is so sweet I love him! I hope he has something big planned for us after work. I just don't want to have to just do my homework. It not like I can't do it all in first hour. My boss was nice though. We do not have many customers. So he is letting me type at the register. Well as long as I don't ignore customers. I set my computer aside when I see the manager walk up to me.

"Helga when you do have a minute to talk please close the register and come to my office."

"All right I will be there in a few!"

I slowly shut down my register. After doing so I go to my boss's office. I just hope that I am not in trouble for anything? As I walked in he gestures me to close the door and to take a seat. So I do so and I look at him wondering what he is going to say.

"Miss Pataki it has been brought to my attention that a customer saw you taking something from the store. She told me that she witnessed you putting some books and money in your bag the other day. Is this true?"

"No it is not! I love my job here why would I risk something that I enjoy doing. Here I have the luxury to be around poetry books. May I ask who told you that I was stealing?"

He described the person and my jaw dropped and I explained everything.

Normal POV

Helga walked out of the store knowing what the person had done and was thinking what she will do to them when she saw them.

Arnold was waiting at the house for Helga. He was getting worried because she was not there when he went to pick her up. It was already past eleven. When she finally showed up he walked to her.

"Hey what's up Helga? I went to your work to pick you up and you where not there!"

"Well I was working and my boss wanted to talk to me. Come to find out that someone is trying to get me fired!"

"Who would want to get you fired?"

"Well someone who hates me don't worry about it not we can talk about it tomorrow Arnold. I just want to forget about it. By the way I emailed the Script I wrote in and I got a response back. She told me that my play was the best Christmas love story and she wants to have the school do the play. I talked to her about casting and she said that you and I have the lead roles!"

"That is great! I want to show you something come upstairs to our room!"

"Our room? What you mean? Is it not your room?"

"Well I thought since you sleep in my room almost every night why not have you live with me instead and Grandpa can rent the room out to woman that needs a room. I did not think you would mind. Everything is upstairs already and I hope you like how it is organized so it is roomy."

She ran upstairs to see that room and to her surprise he had it set up all romantic and she knew what was going to happened.
