HELGA'S POV
The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face. Everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place with me and Arnold. Besides the fact that Arnold is still with his girlfriend but not for long and speaking of Arnold, I decided to go see if he's awake. Phoebe had already woke up before me. I'm assuming she went to hang out with Gerald. I slipped on my shoes and crawled out of the tent. I looked around the camp till I saw Arnold sitting by himself at the fire pit. I smiled then walked over to him and sat down next to him.
"Hey, football head." I greeted.
Arnold just sat there, poking the ground with a thin stick. "Hey." Arnold didn't look happy.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He sighed. "Marley won't speak to me."
"Why not?"
"Because she saw us kissing last night."
I was surprised but I should've known that Marley would've caught us. Everybody else went to bed except for me and Arnold. Though, with Marley hating Arnold, this is the perfect opportunity to capture Arnold's heart completely. I scooted closer to Arnold then placed my hand on his arm.
"Everything will be okay." I assured then leaned forward to kiss his cheek when Arnold quickly stood up. He looked down at me.
"Don't...don't talk to me alright?" He said then walked away.
I watched as Arnold walked away. I couldn't believe he said that. I thought that he would've want to break up with Marley and be with me but I guess I was wrong. Arnold still has feelings for Marley. I sighed as I stared at the fire pit. That's when Phoebe walked up to me and sat down next to me.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Arnold...He still likes his girlfriend." I admitted.
"Did he tell you that?"
I shook my head. "He didn't have to. He said that Marley caught us kissing last night and now she won't talk to him and he seemed really sad about it so that means he still likes her." I sighed sadly.
"Oh, Helga. I'm so sorry. That sucks."
"And I thought that Arnold was starting to like me more than her. I mean, we kissed so many times." I started to feel my eyes well up with tears.
Phoebe wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. "Don't worry about it. Maybe Gerald can talk to him?"
I shrugged. "What's the point? He won't be able to change Arnold's feelings."
Phoebe nodded. "Okay. I'll leave you alone then." She said then stood up and walked away.

Later on in the day, I decided to go check up on Arnold to see how he's doing. I checked his tent but Gerald said he wasn't around so now i'm on the search for him. I looked and looked till I saw him by the creek...with Marley...and they were kissing. More like making out. I suddenly felt my lungs putting pressure on my heart. It felt like my heart was about to burst. I slowly backed away then took off running. I ran all the way back to camp when I ran into Phoebe.
"What happened? What's wrong?" She asked.
I sniffed as I felt tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Helga, what's wrong? Did you find Arnold?"
I nodded as I wiped the tears away. "He...He was with Marley and they were kissing."
Phoebe's eyes widen. "Oh...Helga." Suddenly, Gerald walked up.
"Hey, did you find Arnold? Woah, what's wrong?" He asked once he noticed that I was crying.
"Helga saw Arnold kissing Marley." She said as she wrapped her arm around me.
"Wow. That's deep. I guess they're back together then." He said.
"If you need me, i'll be in the tent." I said then walked over to me and Phoebe's tent and crawled in.
Gerald sighed. "I'll talk to Arnold later."
Phoebe nodded. "Good idea."

ARNOLD'S POV
I wasn't sure how it happened. After I left Helga alone at the firepit, I ran into Marley and we started talking. Marley made me promise that I would stay away from Helga but I wasn't sure if i'm able to do that. Even though I like Marley and care about her, I like and care about Helga more. I said what I had to say to keep Marley happy but deep down, I knew I was breaking Helga's heart. Me and Marley started to kiss and while we were kissing, I thought about Helga. I hadn't even noticed that Helga was watching us till I broke away from Marley and talked to Gerald. Now i'm on the hunt to fix things between me and Helga.
Phoebe said that Helga was in their tent so I went there to see. I slowly opened up the door flap to see Helga laying on her sleeping bag, reading a book. I crawled into the tent and closed the flap back up. I sat next to Helga and watched her look at me.
"What do you want? Shouldn't you be sucking face with your girlfriend?" She asked.
"I would rather suck face with you." Suddenly, I blushed.
"I-I mean...." I sighed. "Look, Helga, about earlier, i'm sorry. Gerald told me that you saw me and Marley kissing."
She nodded then sat up and set her book next to her. "I thought you liked me."
"I do!" I quickly said.
"Not as much as Marley right?"
I shook my head. "No. I..." I trailed off. "I really like you. Like... a lot. And when I was kissing Marley earlier, I've thought about you."
Helga blushed. "R-really?"
I nodded. "I wish I didn't have to mess with Marley's feelings like this but...I dunno.."
"You don't know who to be with?" She asked.
"I do. I want to be with you but I also like Marley and care about her feelings..."
Helga sighed and looked away. "Maybe we should forget about this. Maybe we should just stay friends. Maybe we should-"
I cut Helga off by kissing her. After a minute, I slowly pulled away.
"Stop talking for a sec."
"B-but-"
"Shh. Just kiss me." I whispered then kissed Helga again.
I leaned forward and gently pushed Helga on her back and got on top of her. We both started to make out as I ran my hands up her body. That's when Helga pulled away.
"Maybe we shouldn't." She said, starting to sit up.
"Nobody is going to bother us okay? Gerald is making sure Marley doesn't come looking for me." I said softly then kissed Helga again.
I continued to run my hands up Helga's body till I felt the back strap of her bra. That's when I remembered seeing it when Helga was changing before. I slowly pulled away, staring at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh..." I blushed slightly. "Sorry." I kept my hands on her bra strap.
"Arnold...are you.."
"S-sorry!" I quickly pulled away. "I just remembered seeing you in your bra and when we had that water fight.."
Helga smiled softly.
"Gerald tried to get me admit that I think your breasts..." I suddenly stopped myself.
Helga raised her eyebrows. "What about them?" She asked.
I shook my head. "It's nothing."
"No. Tell me."
"It's crazy."
Helga smirked. "Just tell me, football head."
I sighed. "I think your breasts are cute."
Helga just sat there, staring at me.
"I mean....I can't really tell since you're wearing a bra...Not saying that you should show me your breasts! I mean...if you want to, I don't mind. But again, you don't have to!" I stuttered as I blushed.
Helga smirked and chuckled. "Football head, you're something else."
I sighed. "Sorry...Gerald told me that now we're in high school, things like this are going to be brought up."
Helga nodded. "He's right. After all, I have an older sister remember?"
I nodded.
"So...do you want to see them?"
I blinked my eyes. "Wh-what?"
"I said, do you want to see them? My breasts I mean."
I started to blush harder. "I-I...um...okay."
Oh jeez. Helga is going to show me her breasts. I'm not sure what to do about this.
