Arnold's greatest treasure

A familiar face

Helga was terrified she was going to get mugged again, she was lost and it was dark. Then she saw someone she knew..

It was a handsome young man that look very tired and sweaty...
"Helga what are you doing here?!"
"Andrew I'm so glad to see you!" Said Helga while she run to met him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Wow you are glad to see me" Replied Andrew blushing.
"What happen Helga? why are you alone and dressed so nicely... and your knee is bleeding!" Asked Andrew
"It's a long story and I fell this flats are not good for running, but I'm so glad to have found you...I'm so embarrassed to say this but, I'm lost and I don't have signal on my phone." Said Helga

"I known this area is horrible with phone signal come on my house is near we can make a quick stop there.."
"Your house...I don't know" Said Helga unsecured
"Helga your knee is bleeding and we are pretty far from your house"
"Well actually I'm spending the night at Phoebe's."
"Do you have her address?" Asked Andrew
"Yes it's saved on my cell it's just that because I don't have signal I can't view the map."
"Okay come on follow me" Said Andrew
As they were walking Andrew asked Helga
"where do you come from?"
"The movies I was with Phoebe and...her date but it didn't work out so I left.?"
"And what about you...you look tired."Asked Helga
"I was doing some practice on my boxing and I never expected to find you."
They walked two blocks down and reach Andrew's home.
"Come in Helga, I'm not alone my father and sister are home...you can trust me."
Said Andrew while extending his hand for Helga to take.

As Helga walked inside the house, Andrew's father was home watching tv and his little sister was sleeping in the couch.
"Dad this is Helga, a friend"
"Hello Helga come in make yourself at home." Said Andrew's father
"Thank you sir."
"Uh Helga and I will be in my room," Said Andrew.
"Remember son to respect the young lady"
"Of course Dad" Replied Andrew shy...
"Come on Helga this is my room, you can seat here." Said Andrew while pulling a chair
I have a first aid kit here somewhere...here it is you can use this wipes on your knee and here are some bandaids."
"Thanks champ you are always so nice to me." Said Helga
Andrew smiled
"Are you thirsty?"
"No, I'm fine thank you, I'm just tired." Replied Helga.

"What happen Helga, why were you running?" Asked Andrew worried.
"It's not important" Replied Helga nervous
"Come on Helga, I doubt it's not important, your we're running about something who was Phoebe's date?"
Helga was just thinking should I tell him.
" It was...Gerald" Replied Helga
"So, I guess Arnold was there as well, did he made you upset about something?" Asked Andrew making a suspicious face.
"Nothing gets pass you ugh, champ!"
Replied Helga raising an eye brow
"If Arnold tried to touch you or disrespect you in any way let me know and I'll deal with him." Said Andrew a bit upset

"It wasn't like that, it's just that... " Helga sighs
"I just saw something I didn't like, but thank you for your concern Andrew."
Then Helga remember the incident at the cafeteria.
"Since we are talking about Arnold, why was he so upset at you the other day during lunch?" Asked Helga
"You know about that?" Asked Andrew
"It's kind of hard not to know since the entire cafeteria made rumors about it." Replied Helga.

Andrew laughed , "I bet it was the talk of the day... Did you talk to Arnold about it?"
Helga rolled her eyes
"Well... I did kind of ask him."
"And What did he told you?" Asked Andrew while staring to Helga Uh I like it when he looks at me that way thought Helga.
"He said it was just guys stuff or something like that."
Andrew smiled and grabbed a towel..
Then Helga continue...
"But it's strange to see Arnold so upset at someone, his usually very calm and easygoing."
"Is he now" Said Andrew
"So what happen?" Asked Helga again
"I don't know and he didn't tell you either so I guess he didn't like something I said." Replied Andrew with a cute smile staring at Helga.
