The Patakis

A bet is a bet

We continued to eat and talk about whatever, the guys mainly making up the dumbest jokes. Though we all still ended up laughing. I heard Arnold laughing and looked over at him. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Arnold. His laughter, his smile, we're just all to contagious I would find myself smiling with him. He was eating some of his tapioca pudding when some of it slid down the corner of his lips.

"Football head you got a little something there." I said pointing towards his mouth.

"Oh shoot." Arnold said.

I ended up laughing at that but stopped when I saw him lick his lips and lick at the corners of his mouth. I blushed upon seeing his tongue. Oh there are so many things I would like him to do with that tongue... I then mentally smacked myself and shook my head. Oh my gosh I hate when I get these dirty thoughts around Arnold. I have got to stop that!

"Hey Helga are you alright?" Arnold asked with his spoon in his mouth.

"Y-Yeah what of it?" I said.

"I don't know it just seemed like you were thinking about something really hard. So I just got worried." Arnold said.

Why must he always have to be so darn sweet?!

"Not that it's any of your business Arnold, but I'm not thinking of anything so I'm fine." I said sarcastically.

"Okay well if you say so Helga." Arnold said.

I just huffed annoyed while blushing. I could hear my friends giggling around me. I gave them a quick glare and they all quieted down. It wasn't long after that I heard a loud voice shriek from behind us. Next moment I saw Sid being tackled from behind by Timberly.

"Sid where have you been you was suppose to come to my class to help me with my history project!" Timberly yelled.

"Ack! I'm sorry I just uh I forgot?" Sid said nervously.

Timberly frowned knowing he was lying and tightened her grip around his shoulders.

"Timberly what in the world are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in class now?" Gerald said annoyed.

"Hey he promised to help me every other day with my homework." Timberly said angrily.

"What he doesn't have to help with your preschool work." Gerald said.

"Just because I'm in 9th grade doesn't mean the homework is easier." Timberly stated.

"It was pretty simple to me." Gerald said knowingly.

"Yeah right I saw your report card and you failed every one of your history classes. You suck at it just as bad as me." Timberly stated.

We all ended up giggling a bit while Phoebe gave Gerald a comforting little pat. Though I could tell she was trying to hold in her laughter as well.

"Yeah whatever doesn't mean he has to help you." Gerald said slightly embarrassed.

"Hey man it's cool. Besides I owe her." Sid said.

"What why?" Gerald asked in disbelief.

"It really doesn't matter, just know I owe her and besides I don't mind helping her." Sid said with a smile.

Okay talk about weirdness.

Gerald looked back and forth between Sid and Timberly before speaking again.

"Timberly if you're going to try and blackmail him-" Gerald started.

"Are you serious I would never do that to anyone." Timberly said angrily.
