Arnold's POV:

*In a country accent* "Arnold. ARRRRNOLDDDDDDD!!!!!!!" I open my eyes to Grandma violently shaking my shoulders and screaming my name.

"Stop it! What is it Grandma?" I sure hope she didn't wake me up for nothing. Since sometimes she thinks we're in the army or something and wakes me up before dawn. I look outside to see the sun rising. At least she didn't wake me up too early.

*In a country accent* "Arnold! Joe's whipped up some buttercakes and there's molasses downstairs so get yer butt down there! And soon!" Oh, Grandpa made pancakes! Yum!

"Ok Grandma I sure will." 

"Okie partner." She exits and leaves my door open. I close it so I can change out of my pjs. I hurry downstairs and grab a seat at the table.

"Hey Arnold! You're up kinda early aren't ya?" Compared to how late I stayed up last night, definitely.

"Yeah Gramps I guess so." I dig into the stack of pancakes in front of me and then check the clock, 5:30 AM. Not too early, maybe I can work on some homework. I go back upstairs and pull out some textbooks and my notebooks from my backpack. I have a while 'till 12:30 so if I hurry I can hang out with Gerald.

- Time Skip Cause Homework Sucks -

Finally finished! It wasn't that hard though English was kinda difficult. Speaking of English what in the hell was up with my dream last night. I mean wtf!! It reminds of that other weirdass dream I had 3 years ago when I dreamed Helga and I were married. That's weird, in that one she acted all sweet at the end, she said she didn't hate me, and she said she actually liked me. Just like in this dream where she said she loved me. If she did, it would make more sense for her to skip English yesterday since I was extremely mean/rude to her. But she does the same to me! If she loved me she definitely wouldn't treat me like crap right? 

But I guess her actions don't give me an excuse for mine... Even if she is a bully that doesn't mean I should be a complete jerk in return. Maybe I should just ignore her, I mean all she really does is pull pranks, push me once in a while and say mean things. Nothing too mean actually. And she might have a messed up life outside of school or something. I should probably just ignore her as much as I can later today. 

Okay enough thinking about her! It's been 5 minutes already! I better head down to Gerald's and see what he's up too, we'll probably end up playing basketball or baseball with the gang.

Well it's getting close to 12:30. I better start heading to school. "Bye guys!"

"Oh, bye Arnold!" (Sid)

"Byeeee!" (Lila)

"Have fun in detention!" (Harold)

"Bye." (Rhonda)

"See you soon!" (Nadine)

"Bya Arnold!" (Stinky)

"Goodbye Arnold!" (Eugene)

"See ya later!" (Gerald)

"Adiósssssss!!!" (Curly)

Ugh I can't wait to get this over with so I can play some more basketball. I make my way to school, as slow as I can drag my feet until I'm at the front door. I bitterly open the door and go to classroom 409. I see that Helga's already inside, reading a super thick book. What a surprise. I go inside and pick the chair farthest from her. Then she turns around. 

"Hi Arnold."

Ohhhhh what's gonna happen next I'm on the edge of my seat. And I will stay there until I feel the need to write more, sorry! 😅
