HELGA'S POV
I heard the sounds of birds chirping and I felt the sun peeking through the tent. I rolled over onto my side and felt an empty space. I slowly opened up my eyes to see that Phoebe was gone. I blinked my eyes then sat up. Did last night....really happened? I gently touched my lips, feeling a tingly sensation. I dreamt that me and Arnold were kissing but that didn't actually happened...did it?
I sighed then opened the door flap and crawled out of the tent. I looked around the camp and saw a few kids eating near the fire and others holding a conversation. Last night really felt like a dream. Maybe it didn't happened. I started to make my way over to the fire when I saw Gerald and Phoebe sitting down, eating breakfast.
"Hey, guys." I said when I walked up to them.
"Hey, want breakfast?" Phoebe asked, holding a plate full of food. I took it then sat down next to her.
"How was last night?" She asked.
"Last night?" I asked, taking a bite out of my food.
"Yeah. You went to go see Arnold." She said.
I blinked. "So...that wasn't a dream?" I asked.
"What wasn't a dream?" Gerald asked.
I swallowed my food. "I dreamt that Arnold kissed me."
Phoebe and Gerald's eyes lit up. "Arnold kissed you!?" They both said at the same time.
I slowly nodded. "I guess that wasn't a dream. It felt so real. We were both standing in the woods, Arnold had his arms around me and then he kissed me." I explained.
"Wow! You two finally kissed!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Shh! What if Marley hears?" I said.
"She won't. Her and Arnold are washing up in the creek nearby." Phoebe said.
I nodded. "Oh..." I silently went back to eating my food.

ARNOLD'S POV
I know last night was real but it seemed too magical to not be real. I enjoyed kissing Helga. I know it sounds really weird considering that I never thought in my life time that I would kiss Helga Pataki. It still feels weird but I enjoy the tingly sensation on my lips. When I woke up that morning, I ate breakfast with Marley. I wanted to talk to Helga but Gerald told me that Phoebe and Helga were still asleep and he was going to wait till they wake up. I wanted to wait too but Marley insisted on us washing up together so here I am, washing up in the nearby creek with Marley.
I had my shirt off and was wearing shorts as I played with Marley in the creek. We both splashed water on each other. I like Marley but as days go by, I just keep finding myself drawn to Helga. Gerald is right. I think I might be falling for Helga and that kiss last night proved it.
I suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of my eye. I looked over to the shore to see Helga standing there. I suddenly had a flashback of us kissing last night.
"Think fast!" Marley said as she tossed a rock at me.
"Woah!" I caught it in my hands.
"Nice catch." She said then looked over to see Helga. Suddenly, Marley walked over to me and kissed me right on my lips. I was caught off guard by the kiss. I quickly pulled away and looked over to see Helga leaving. I sighed then looked at Marley.
"We should dry off." I said then got out of the creek and grabbed my towel.
I quickly dried off then slipped on my shoes and a t-shirt before going after Helga.
"Helga!" I called out then grabbed her arm to stop her from walking.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hey, football head. Having fun?"
I smiled then shrugged. "I guess."
Then, there was an awkward silence between us.
"So...last night with the kiss.." I started.
"What are you two talking about?" Marley asked as she walked up to us.
"Nothing." I quickly said.
"Well, i'm going to go change. I'll see you later." She said then kissed my cheek before walking away.
I sighed then looked at Helga.
"Well, i'm going to go see what Phoebe is up to." She said then started to walk away when I grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Hey, can we talk?" I asked.
"About what?" She asked.
I grabbed her hand then started to pull her down to the creek. We both sat down on the ground.
"What's up?" She asked.
I shrugged. "I dunno. Last night was...amazing."
Helga smiled. "At first, I thought it was all a dream."
I nodded. "Me too but i'm glad it happened." I said, looking at her.
Helga then leaned over and kissed me on the lips. I felt my heart racing and the tingly sensation coming back. We both pulled away and stared into each others eyes.
"I wish I can kiss you forever." I said.
Helga nodded. "Me too."
I leaned in to kiss her but suddenly stopped myself. I sighed.
"I can't."
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because, i'm dating Marley. If she found out, she'll be seriously heartbroken." I explained.
"What are you going to do?" She asked.
I shrugged. "I don't know." I then stood up. "I'll see you later." Then I walked away, leaving Helga at the creek. I have a lot of things to think about.
