Footballhead Returns Part 2

"A-Arnold?! Wh- What are you, how did you, what?!" I stuttered.

"I was wondering what was taking Gerald so long, so I had decided to walk around a little and go looking for him. And also to get away from my grandparents for a little bit, they were embarrassing me pretty bad. Then I happened to find you out here sitting on the ground." Arnold said looking down at me.

"But how did you know it was me?" I asked looking up at him.

"Well I just figured the only girl who would do something out of the ordinary would be you." Arnold said cooly. I squinted my eyes and scowled at him.

"And what's that's supposed to mean." I retorted in anger, upset that he thought I was some weirdo.

"No! I mean your name was the first name that came to me. I guess I was just hoping it would be you and looks like I was right."

He said staring down at me with those half lidded eyes and a smile. Just like in the picture but a hundred times better. I looked away blushing uncontrollably.

"Oh... well whatever..." I replied as nonchalantly as possible.

He was hoping it was me; my name was the first name that came to him. I chanted to myself getting happier by the moment.

"Oh what's that?" Arnold pointed towards my chest. Gasp I totally forgot I had the locket in my hands, I was so shocked at seeing Arnold that I ended up forgetting about it. I quickly stuffed it in my shirt to where he couldn't see it, and then turned back towards him.

"None of your business football head." I snapped while scowling at him.

A few moments passed by with him just staring at me. Aww damn it I can't believe I just snapped at him like that, after five years of not seeing him this is how I behave. He's never going to speak to me ever ag- ! Then out of nowhere he burst out laughing. I just stared at him completely dumbfounded by his reaction.

"Wow I haven't heard that nickname in a long time." He chuckled.

"Yeah because being called a football head is completely funny." I scoffed while rolling my eyes.

This of course made Arnold start to laugh even more. He then stared at my hands where I was covering my chest to hide the locket then he began to turn pink in the cheeks. He ended up coughing and looked away quickly hiding his face. I stared at him blankly and raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was so embarrassed about.

"What Arnoldo?" I asked a little annoyed.

He looked down at me again then quickly turned away. His face a deep crimson. What did I spill something on my shirt? That's when I looked down and then realized that my shirt had pulled down a bit too far when I had stuffed the locket in there. Revealing my cleavage, that's what Arnold must have been embarrassed about, OH MY GOSH, Arnold was staring at my breasts.

I turned scarlet and tried to cover my breasts some more, which of course only made it worse since they made my breasts squeeze closer together. When Arnold saw, it looked like he had almost died since he gasped and ended up falling to the floor, his face on fire.

By now everybody in the airport was staring at us as if we were psychos. I was so mortified that I couldn't even look him in the face anymore, not that he would notice since he was doing the same.

"Err um seems like some things never change eh heh." he said nervously rubbing his arm.

"Y - Yeah I guess not, I guess that's why they say old habits die hard." I stammered talking to the floor.

"Yeah..." Arnold added. It was an incredibly awkward silence that I wanted to die right then and there. Eventually Arnold broke the silence.

"So how has it been these past few years? Anything new happen?" Arnold asked. I looked at him from the corner of my eye.
