"WHAT!?!?!?" she said faintly.
"Yes I was quite shocked too. I'm going to keep her and the boy apart in
school and I was wondering if you would forbid her from seeing him at home."
"Of-of course Mr. Simmons. She will never see this boy again. What's
his name?"
"Gerald. Thank you and I wish you a pleasant and special day."
"Hello? This is Mr. Simmons, Sid's teacher."
"Yes, did he bring his frogs to school again?"
"No, he did worse. Yesterday on the class's fieldtrip to Adventure
Woods, he and another student named Nadine were making out. I've forbid them
to see each other at school and I would appreciate it very much if you would
do the same at home."
"Of course Mr. Simmons. It's disgraceful how kids start making out
earlier and earlier these days. And at nine!! I'll make sure he doesn't see
Nadine."
"Thank you and I wish you a pleasant and special day."
"Hello? This is Mr. Simmons, Nadine's teacher."
"Yes? Did she bring her bug collection to school again?"
"No. I'm afraid it was far worse. Yesterday on the class's fieldtrip to
Adventure Woods, she and another student named Sid were making out. I've
forbid them to see each other at school and I would appreciate it very much if
you would do the same at home."
"Sure, at age nine, they should be ashamed."
"Thank you and I wish you a pleasant and special day."
"Hello, this is Mr. Simmons. I'd like to talk to Mr. Patacki. It's
about his daughter."
Secretary: "I'll put you right through to him."
"Whaddya want? I'm busy runnin' my beeper empire here!"
"Yesterday the class had a fieldtrip to Adventure Woods and in the woods
Helga and another boy were making out."
"So? What do I care?"
"Well, I've forbid them from seeing each other at school and I would
appreciate it if you did the same at home. His name is Arnold."
"That ORPHAN boy!?!?!?!"
"Yes, I believe he is an orphan."
"You got yourself a deal! I'm never letting her lay her eyes on that
ORPHAN again!! In fact, I'll get her a tutor at home so she doesn't even see
him at school!"
"Well, I don't think it's necessary to go that far."
"Well, you're right. Too much money."
"Thank you and I wish you a pleasant and special day."
"Hello? Mr.---" the last name was smudged on the card. "<throat clear>
I'm Mr. Simmons, Arnold's teacher."
"Arnold's teacher? Short man's not the type to get in trouble at school."
"No, he isn't, but this is a very special type of trouble I'm afraid."
"What happened?"
"Well, yesterday on the class fieldtrip to Adventure Woods, Arnold was
making out with another student named Helga G. Patacki. I've forbid them
to see each other at school and I was hoping you'd do the same at home."
"WHAT!?!?!"
"I know, I was outraged, too."
"Why'd you forbid short man to see her!?!"
"But it's against school rules to be--"
"To be in love!?!"
"No, to display public affection."
"I will not forbid Arnold to see Helga! I have been trying to make
Arnold realize she loves him for years and now that he knows and loves her
back I'm not stoppin' 'em. In fact, I'm gonna encourage him!!"
"Oh my."
"Good day to you sir!"
"I do not wish you a pleasant and special day. In fact, I wish you the
opposite."
"I don't need your special ness."
At recess, word had somehow leaked out about the making out at Adventure Woods and the 6 kids were being horribly teased.
"Ooooooh I love you I love you," mocked Harold, kissing his hand.
The other kids were chanting the tree song and other immature garble about kissing when Arnold decided he had had enough.
"YOU GUYS!" Arnold yelled to the playground. They all stopped and looked at him. "So what, we were kissing, big deal. I KNOW in a few years you all are
gonna be doing it too so shut up and stop teasing us. Its so IMMATURE!"
Lila heard all the commotion and Arnold's speech and she suddenly became very jealous of Helga. She realized that Arnold had moved on and
she didn't want that to happen. She found herself liking Arnold in a very different way and decided that she had to get him back some how.
