Prologue
"What do you mean they're still not revealing the green eyes sanctuary?!" A cold and shrill voice yelled as he slammed down on his desk angrily. The man in front of him flinched before taking his hat in his hands slowly, twisting it nervously as he looked to the two men behind him for help. They did not, however, step forward as he would have wished. Taking in a deep breath the man slowly shrugged, becoming tenser with every word he spoke.
"They- they're still refusing sir...we can't kill them, we've tried all sorts of methods to break them down for information but- we- we still can't " He whispered shakily. The room was dead

Introduction
Arnold stared blankly up at the blue sky through the glass ceiling as the clouds drifted slowly past him. With his hands behind his corn blonde hair he closed his eyes slowly, letting out a deep breath. It was October fifth another year had already come and gone. He'd had his first love, had his first heartbreak, he'd finished his first year of high school, and preformed on stage, he'd had his first kiss- though- he wasn't too sure if he should count that attack on his lips when he was in grade school a kiss.
Yes, Arnold had done all of these things, all without them.
It was times like this that he felt all of his emotion

Chapter One:
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Arnold whispered to himself as he gripping his shirt nervously. He looked upon the tall blue building in front of him and gulped some before slowly going up the patio steps. He was about to knock on the door when it flew open, knocking him down with a crash.
"Yea well fuck you too Bob!" A loud and brash voice called out. Slamming the door behind her Arnold looked up while rubbing the bump on his head. Helga stood in front of her door, furious and tense.
He noticed a light tint on her cheek as she pulled her hood over her face and black beanie. Her hands moved to her pocket without looking dow

Chapter Two
Dear Cecile,
I know that it's been a while since we last wrote, and I do apologize for any worry that I might have caused you. Rest assured I'm fine, and perfectly healthy, life has just been rather- well hectic lately. As you know for the past month Helga's been coming over to the boarding house to prepare our essay. Of course she refuses to let me see it until it's finished- but I have faith that it'll turn out great. You know Cecile despite the mean jokes when she talks to me it's actually been kind of nice hanging out with her. I love watching her when she's writing, the way her eyes start to soften and her en

Chapter Three
"Class, class settle down- I have some very special news I'd like to announce before we start the school day- Rhonda, please, cell phones off- Harold, no eating in class- Phoebe advanced physics is next period so please, books away." Mr. Simmons called out as he smiled happily.
After a few laughs and rustles the class seemed to move their attention to Mr. Simmons who waited
patiently for their silence. He tapped his fingers against one another patiently as he smiled gallantly.
"Thank you class." He laughed out before walking in front of his desk.
"Now today I'd like to congratulate two very special students in our class wh

Chapter Four
Helga gulped as she looked in the mirror. Hair scrunched, half of her bangs falling over her face as she slowly applied a light color of lipstick and blush. She had never been so nervous before in her life. Pushing her hair the side she took in a deep breath a she leaned forward, curling up her already long eyelashes. She tied her bow to the side slightly as she took in a deep breath.
" alright Helga old girl...you can do this." She whispered to herself.
Arnold's words kept ringing through her ears as she flinched.
'I'm so scared, and nervous. It's really happening, and suddenly, I feel so angry that I have to go through

Chapter Five
" well this is it." Arnold whispered to himself as he stared out into the open jungle. He gulped and moved his backpack onto his shoulders slowly. Somewhere in this jungle his parents were waiting for him. With one last look at the map for courage Arnold glanced behind him at the campsite, all of the lights had been put out and everyone's tent was closed up tight. He could hear Harold snoring from a nearby tent and it made him feel a lost sense of melancholy. He bit his lip, overlooking them all one more time before gulping.
" don't worry guys, I'll be back " he whispered to no one.
Arnold hesitated as he looked

Chapter Six
"Shit." Helga whispered, moving her hand into Arnolds quickly, the two stood wide eyes and ready to run as two shadowed figures emerged in front of them, pistols in hand. Helga gulped and Arnold
slowly pressed his arm over her and pushed her behind him.
" we don't want any trouble." Arnold whispered slowly putting his hands up. "We're just looking for someone, they got lost "
"The boss was right, this kid really is an idiot, I didn't actually think he'd go into the jungle alone but- here we are." One of the men said with a laugh as he looked back at his partner. The other smiled at that, sending shivers down Arnold'

Chapter Seven
"How could you be such an IDIOT?" Helga paced back and forth, holding onto her head as she took in quick shallow breaths, they had just been chased by men with guns, men who wanted to kill them, men who wanted to kill Arnold. Arnold leaned his head against his knees, soaked from head to toe. After the initial shock of being nearly killed the two had run through the jungle in silence, only to find that the "small river" they had jumped into turned out to be a "small waterfall".
They had found a cave behind the roaring waters and climbed inside for safety. For a while they just stared at the floor, Helga hyperventilated for a li

Chapter Eight
"Do you remember that time we made out in seventh grade?" Helga suddenly blurted out. Arnold twisted his face in confusion but chose to not respond to the statement. Yes, he had remembered, it was the most awkward seven minutes of his life.
Even as a seventh grader Helga was always more developed than the other girls, and with her body pressed against him in that little closet- her breath against his ear as they waited for the time to be up. She had kissed him first, he remembered that much.
He didn't even know what he was doing when they attempted to move onto a French kiss. He had
just closed his eyes, awkwardly plac
