Hey, Arnold

Ch 7: 'Little Black Dress

(Helga's POV)
What a day. School had just finished, and I'm walking towards the bus stop. My mind felt so high, my cheeks felt so hot that it can melt the snow, my heart continuously kept pounding all day too. I pulled out my locket open to see Arnold's face. I can still remember all the things we talked about in the Nurses office. I told him all the places I wanted to visit, especially John Cabot. Just my luck would have it, he wanted to visit as well. I can't believe Arnold wanted to go to the same college as me. Helga Pataki!! We also looked into the restaurants we plan to eat also, Pizzarium, Pizzeria Da Baffetto, L'Isola della Pizza. It feels like a dream come true, maybe... Maybe Arnold and I can work this out. I mean I didn't feel the need to be mean to hide my feelings, it just felt so natural to talk to him. I was still nervous but not as much as I thought. Maybe we can pull it off and be good friends. Nothing beyond that. I can't let him see my feelings at all. I finally reach the bus stop, when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out to see a text from Olga.

Olga- "Hey!!! I'm waiting for you at home so we can go shopping today!
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that.

Me-"Okay I'll be there in 6 minutes. Just got to the bus stop."

Olga-"Kk. See ya here."
I'm kinda glad Olga and I are going shopping, well mostly cause I kinda want some food at the mall, at an Auntie Anne's pretzel place. But spending time with her is good too.
After the bus drops me off, I go in and see my sister in the living room.
"Hey, I'll be down in a minute just let me get my purse."
"Yep, I'll be in the car." She says smiling.
I get to my room, put my book bag by my desk then grabbed my hoodie and purse. I get down stairs then, I'm out the door. I get into my sister's car and we head off towards the mall. I took out my phone and saw I had revised a text from Phoebe.

Phoebes: Hey, I'm going to the movies with Gerald. Wish me luck, I'll give you the details later."
Awww that is so cute of him.

Me: Good luck Phoebes!!! <3
"Phoebe's on a date with Gerald. Isn't that sweet." I said to Olga
"Awww totally cute, I didn't know know he likes her." She responded.
"This is the second time he's asked she out."
"Great for her. Lucky girl. Maybe I'll find a man in Italy." She pouted
"Olga any guy would dream to be your boyfriend. You'll find someone." I said with a smile.
" Helga you too, I know that one person will see you as a cool, wonderful, awesome girl." Wow. I kinda like this side of her, when she's not annoying and bratty.
"Thanks Olga."
We arrive at the mall. As soon as we enter Olga already finds a shop to go in. I followed as she tried on every party dress, shoes, tops, pants, jewelry. And here I am just carrying some bags and sitting in the corner. I begged her after one of the stores we enter in, to go and get some food, cause I was starving. She agreed and we went into this nice clothing store. All the outfits looked very interesting put together. So I started to grab a couple of things that would look good on me.
"Helga you have to try on this dress, this will look perfect on you." My sister said. I turn,and saw the the black dress she was holding. It was so Beautiful, the top part was reveling but covered with a thin black cover, then from the rest down was covered, it had a nice shape for my body too.
" Wow, that dress is amazing, do you think it would look good on me?" I asked
"Oh please it will look perfect on you, go try it on." She said while pushing me into the dressing room.
"Okay let's see." I said to myself
I go into one of the rooms, take my off my clothes and put on the dress. It zippers up completely with no trouble. Wow it does fit perfectly, and it hugs around my body pretty good. I stepped out to see my sister.
Her eyes were bigger than her head.
"I knew it would look great on you. You look so beautiful Helga." Out of no where she bursted into tears.
"Olga what's wrong why are you crying?"
"You should get this dress, you're so beautiful right now. I can't believe how grown up you are."
"Whaaattt?? Okay, let's go to the cashier then get some food." I suggested. I went and put my clothes back on, then went to the cashier and bought the dress and my outfits, then headed straight towards the food court.
I got some Mc Donald's while Olga went for sushi.
"Olga are you sure you're good. Want some of my Milk shake?" I offered. She declined and continue to eat her sushi. I wonder why she broke down crying? That was really strange.
After we ate we went to get Auntie Ann's pretzel's. Mmmmhhmmm nice and warm for my liking.
" Helga, where did you get you're golden locket?" Olga asked. I froze before I took a bite out of my pretzel. What do I say, she can't know the picture of Arnold. Just play it cool Helga, just go with it.
"I got it a year a go. I just liked the way it looked an hoped to put a picture in it of some one I love." I said while eating my pretzel.
"Wow. It looks really pretty. Do you have some one you love?"
"What? Nooooooo. N-nooo. Not at all. Hey we should go home and watch some movies with some popcorn."
"Okay sounds fun!" That a was close one, if she found out that would be embarrassing. I grab the bags and started to head out when I caught Lila in the corner making out with Sid near the bathroom. I mean they were so into it. Sid had picked her up and took her into the bathroom.
"Oh my gosh!" I said in shock
"What's wrong Helga?" Helga asked.
"Nothing sorry. I thought I saw something but it was nothing." I said as we head straight to the car and drove home.
I can't believe Lila would cheat on Arnold with Sid. One of his good friends. She is such a b*tch!!
Oh I can't believe I just said that. But really. Why would she do that. Arnold is everything you can have in a boyfriend so why would she cheat on him.
"Arnold you don't deserve this at all. This is unfair." A tear rolled down my face, why am I crying? Man I'm so emotional.
