"I have my reasons" Replied Arnold.

On another table Helga and Phoebe were having lunch and talking.

"Helga, do you know how popular you and Arnold are now because of that dance video streaming on the web."

Helga was serious."Yes Phoebe I heard."

"A girl asked me today if you and Arnold were together." Said Phoebe

"Really Who!?" Asked Helga concern.

"She in my second period class, ah... Susan."

"That trame!" Shouted Helga

"What did you say?" Asked Helga

"That I didn't know." Replied Phoebe

"Good Phoebe it's better if they don't know."

"But Helga, what if by you leaving Arnold another girl steals him."

Helga thought for a second.
"I know Phoebe but.... I can't be scare of the what if.. .all this years he could have been going out with someone and his not."

"Not yet" Replied Phoebe pulling back her glasses.

Helga was just thinking.

Then a boy sat next to Helga while the other boy sat next to Phoebe.

"Hey Helga how you been?"

"Hey girls" said the other one.

"What do you want Jacob?" Asked Helga to the boy next to her.

"I wanted to ask you what you were doing later today."

"Like If I'm going to tell you." Replied Helga with a sarcastic voice.

"My sister it's in your volleyball team."

"Really I guess I don't know her." Replied Helga.

"What's your name?" Asked the boy to Phoebe.

Phoebe was extremely nervous and was quiet for a second. "It's Phoebe"

"Leave her alone doofes." Helga told the boy.

"We're just talking." Replied the boy.

"Do you want to come to homecoming with me and maybe you can show me some of your moves." Asked Jacob.
Helga's eyes widened.

Arnold got up to throw something in the trashed when he saw two guys seating next to Helga and Phoebe.
Arnold yelled at Gerald and headed to the girls.

Suddenly someone put a firm hand on Jacob's shoulder. "Beat it Jacob you too Jamal!"

The boys saw Andrew and stood up.
"We were just talking, right Helga." Said Jacob
Before Helga could say anything Andrew interrupted.

"She doesn't need to respond to you." Said Andrew looking upset.

"Fine come on Jamal." Said Jacob and he was leaving.

By then, Arnold and Gerald arrived at the table.

"Are you Okay Helga?" Asked Arnold

"Did that ass say something to you Phoebe?" Asked Gerald

"We're fine, Andrew help us get rid of those two jack asses." Helga responded.

"Thanks man." said Gerald to Andrew
"Sure" Replied Andrew
"Aren't those guys your friends?" Asked Arnold upset staring at Andrew unpleased.
"We talked during lunch, but I wouldn't consider them good friends." Said Andrew
"I didn't see you during first period.Did you just got here?" Asked Helga
"Yes, I had a Doctor's appointment this morning, I been sick all weekend, but I'm better now, my Dad just dropped me off." Replied Andrew looking at Helga.
