MONDAY WAS THE FIRST cool day of the school year. Emma and Allison gave Arnold a ride that morning. Emma was so happy just to have one of her friends back, she didn't even care that Allison kept smirking at them the entire time. It just felt good to have someone to talk to who wasn't one of her siblings again. Someone who always got her more than most people. Emma even started working out again, for the first time in a month.

And as she and Arnold entered the school together, she told him about Coach's offer.

"You do know that Helena's going to be trying out today too?" Arnold asked, his eyebrow raised.

"That'll just make it more fun," Emma chuckled. "I can take her on my worst day."

"Maybe you should practice before you try out," said Arnold. "It's been a while since you've been in a fight."

"Since when do you know about training?" Emma smiled, clearly bemused.

"Well, I mean, I didn't become 'Hot Arnold' just by mowing lawns."

"Alright, we'll try it right after study hall," said Emma. "That should give us enough time."

"Sounds good," Arnold smiled. "See you then."

Emma smiled as she watched Arnold walk to class.

"I see that you two are... what are you exactly?"

Emma turned around to see Hector standing behind her, wearing a long, black sweater, slacks, and brown dress shoes. The look didn't suit his usual snarky attitude. He also looked a lot paler and skinnier as well.

"I'm not sure," said Emma.

"Yeah, I've been there," said Hector. "In fact, I'm still here. I'm thinking of renaming it Hector's Island. Because Arnold and I haven't really talked in about a month... neither have you and me, come to think of it."

"I didn't mean to — I — it wasn't your fault," Emma stuttered. "I thought Arnold was dating some older girl, and I felt it would be better not to be around either of you since you're both usually a package deal. But it was just a misunderstanding; I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize," Hector shrugged. "I never knew you felt that way about him."

"What way?"

"Doesn't matter," said Hector. "Arnold, and I got into a disagreement about Pria."

"Your girlfriend?"

"Yeah," said Hector. "I told him I wanted to go to this student conference with her in a few weeks. He told me I was moving too fast with her and that I was letting her take over my life. We both said some choice words and haven't spoken since."

"I'm certain if you’d just talk to him about what happened, you two could —!"

"I'm willing to listen to what he has to say," Hector sighed, "if he'll actually say it."

Ding! Ding!

Hector checked his phone.

"Shit," Hector muttered. "Pria needs me to carry her books to her locker. It's after chemistry class, so that means it's the thick books! I'll talk to you later, Emma. Let — let Arnold know what I said... if you think it'll matter. See you!"

Emma shook her head. She could see Arnold's point on the subject. She felt her phone vibrate in her backpack and took it out.
