Arnold was laughing with the gang of boys from P.S. 118 on the steps of the high school. As they were entering their junior year of high school he couldn't help but marvel at how close they had all stayed. The boys all chuckled at a joke that Brainy was telling as they waited for the girls to arrive. Phoebe, Rhonda, Nadine, Sheena, Lila, and Helga would be arriving together. His heart gave a twitch as he thought of Helga. FOr some reason he had grown closer to her over the years but it never actually felt right.

"Maybe you want to me a little something more than friends." Gerald had teased earning a few laughs from the guys. Brainy had smirked but said nothing even when people asked what was so funny.

He shook his head of the thought and tried to focus back on what Brainy was saying. By the time he had gotten his head together he realized that Brainy was no longer speaking.

"So when are the girls going to be here? We are going to be kate for class if they take much longer."

"Pheobe just texted me. They should be pulling up right about...now." Gerald said smiling as a silver corvet rounded the corner at a rather fast speed.

The boys tried to keep calm as they stared down at the car that pulled up into the parking space next to them. Their mouths fell open as the door opened and a pair of silky legs stepped out followed shortly after that by another pair after that, and more after that. Stinky pulled down his sun glasses to the bridge of his nose and whistled quietly to himself.

"Have Mercy." Brainy whispered as Lila stepped out looking a little green.

"You Drive like a bat out of hell Rhonda!" a voice snapped from within the car on the drivers side of the backseat. "How is it possible that you got your licence, Criminy!"

Helga stepped out of the car and Arnold felt his heart rise into his throat choking him. Helga looked nothing like she had last year. Gone were the baggy t-shirts and the ripped up jeans held onto her skinny frame by her leather, spike studded belt. Instead her every curve was hugged gently by a soft looking sweater, a baby pink color, and dark jeans that closed tightly around her ankles. Her heair was loose and pinned to one side in delicately spun curls.

"Hot damn." Gerald muttered as her best friend Pheobe joined her laughing slightly.

"Oh come on Helga it wasn't that bad." she said tossing her long black hair so that it was out of her hazel eyes. "In fact I found it to be rather invigorating."

Helga looked like she was torn between laughing and blowing up but she decided to just laugh quietly and looked towards Lila who was doubled over slightly.

"You okay there Miss Perfect?" she asked amusment ruining her look of concern.

"Oh yeah fine." Lila said smiling weakly "It's just...on the way home...is it alright if I drive."

The group laughed, besideds Rhonda who did her best to look offended, "Your welcome by the way." she said before looking over at the boys who hastily snapped their mouths closed.

"Hello boys..."Rhonda said waving slightly looking a little concerned.

"What's wrong with you?" Helga asked bluntly looking at them for the first time. They all shook their heads or shrugged not daring to say a word.

"Are you all okay?" Sheena asked gently giving them all a small smile.

"Yeah..."Arnold said breathlessly "We just ...were waiting for you all to arrive."

"Okay, well now we are here." Helga said narrowing her eyes at them. "So we better get a move on or else we will all be late. Come on girls."

The boys watched them as they disappeared up the steps and into the school not moving an inch. Sid opened and closed his mouth a few times and gulped nervously, his eyes wide.

"Okay I know everybody is thinking it so I am just going to say it...when in the hell did those girls get that hot and why haven't we noticed before?"

They all shook their heads and slowly got to their feet. They all made their way into class silently and took their seats, blushing slightly as each of the girls looked at them in wonderment.

By lunch time the boys were seriously freaking out by the new feelings that were stirring up inside of them. They all sat at their usual lunch table (claimed by them since freshman year) and stared at the girls at the other side of the room laughing away. THey didn't even touch their food instead trying to get the girls out of their heads.

"What are we going to do mates?" Sid said nodding towards them his leg shaking uncontrolably "We can't just keep this to ourselves it will kill us! How are we going to get this out of our system?"

They were silent, all except for the slight drumming on the table.

"I've tried playing it cool But when I'm looking at you I can t ever be brave 'Cause you make my heart race" Brainy sang only loud enough for the group around them to hear staring off at the firey red head laughing merrily. They all looked at him wide eyed before calming down. It wasn't like it was unusual to hear the group singing. They had done so plenty of times in the school talent shows. "Shot me out of the sky You're my kryptonite You keep making me weak Yeah, frozen and can't breathe"

Gerald joined him his eyes drifting to Pheobe again and the words falling naturally from his lips

"Something s gotta give now 'Cause I m dying just to make you see That I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing"

The boys all hummed and began to sing along with him

"So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing"

Arnold was the one to raise his voice louder. However his voice shook slightly as he stood up. He kept his eyes cast downward so he wouldn't be able to see the crowd that was now oogoling them. "Now I'm climbing the walls But you don't notice at all That I'm going out of my mind All day and all night"

"Something s gotta give now 'Cause I'm dying just to know your name And I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing" SId sang wavering slightly on the last note causing several girls in the corner to swoon.

They all grew courage at this and their show casing attitudes clicked on as they all sand together So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh

Arnold caught Helga's eyes and he smiled at the way they twinkled. You've got that one thing

Brainy made his way over to the girls table and leaned over it slightly, smiling up at Lila's face which had turned the same color red as her hair. He cooed to her gently the next few lines of the song

Get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead

He held out a hand which she took and pulled her up with him to dance around the room with him.

The boys were surprised. Brainy wasn't exactly known for being the most confident of them all but when he wanted something he worked hard for it. They all laughed slightly before presenting themselves to each of their own ladies pulling them up into the middle of the lunch room, all blushing furiously. Rhonda most of all as Curly, who had transformed completely since the fourth grade (though still arguably insane) looked deeply into her eyes.

So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing Yeah, you've got that one thing

They twirled them out and spun them back in just in time. The last note hung in the air and all was quiet for the moment save for the heavy breathing coming from the boys. Then the room errupted with applause for them all. The girls giggled and untangled themselves from the boys remarking how silly they were. Helga snorted and said something about show offs. The boys knew that they had all thought it was a joke but they couldn't help but feel a little better now that they had got that out of their systems. As they headed back to their table howevr they felt the feeling begin to pool in their stomachs again.

"This is far from over is it?" Curly asked wiping his forehead as he plopped down next to Arnold.

"Oh buddy," Gerald said picking up his sandwich and taking a huge chunk out of it. "YOu have no idea."

*okay I was really really bored and doped up on pain pills ( My back has been acting funny lately) but I just wanted to share this with ya'll cause well...i wrote it and it obviously rtook some cutting a pasting work. Well I obviously don't own the song or the cartoon so that's that. I'm not normally a one direction fan but some of their songs are pretty cute. So anyway tell me what ya'll think and tell me if i should do more cause like i said i was really doped up when i did this and i kinda figure it was meant to be a one time thing.
