Gee, where should Emma begin?

I guess it all started back in highschool. It was the last day of highschool before exams and prom. Emma had been best friends with Manny Santos and Darcy Edwards since the start of preschool and they were so excited to go to college together soon.

Emma was a bit of a environmentalist, and a smart cookie; the brains with the beauty. She even helped run school council. She was a tall, model figured girl with long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was quite the eye full. But studying was always more prior to dating, until Peter Stone walked into her life. He was only the most popular, charming guy in school and also helped the council.

Now, Manny, who dated all the hottest guys in school, ruled with beauty and sass, quite the wild girl but who was also bubbly and loyal to her friends. She wasn't part of a club, but a squad, the cheer squad! She was quite the coordinator.

Lastly, Darcy a self rightous kind of girl, but always wanting to help and get in on stuff. She was the leader of the Bible club in Degrassi, yet went to most of all the highschool parties thrown. It was a little confusing to people on where she stood because she also dated and rumored to have slept with them. She was pretty popular too, with long brown hair and also a cheerleader, and part of council! She always felt like the third wheel though sometimes to Emma and Manny, who acted as if sisters and had even moved in together when Manny was kicked out of her home.

The three were in inseparable.

Keyword: Were.

Emma had walked into her school council one morning, where her council president, (her being Vice), was already taking ideas for their high school forum, a small grapevine of school news if you would.

Emma liked to write sometimes too, add it too her special talents. Her boyfriend, Peter, had walked in with her hand in hand and she smiled when he kissed her cheek before sitting in the group of council students as Emma stopped up front.

"Still in honeymoon mode, I see." teased Liberty as Emma came and stood by her, blushing. Emma and Peter had dated all year, but he had just asked her to prom and they were soon going to make college plans together.

Peter was perfect to Ema. One of the most popular guys in school, and yet, he didn't have ONE flaw. At least, not to her naive eye just yet. She had just given up her virginity too to him the other month.. she wanted to save it for Prom but he insisted and why not? He was so good to her. He drove her to school, like, all the time.

Darcy was in the crowd sitting down, and after Emma and Liberty announced some new school topics, Emma came to sit down next to her and sighed when she caught Peter staring and smirking at her across the room.

"He's perfect." Emma whispered to Darcy, stars in her eyes.

"Is anybody perfect?" taunted Darcy and Emma blinked, turning her head towards her and Darcy blinked, noticing she said it out loud and bared a smile. woops.

Emma rolled her eyes smiling, insisting Darcy was just down because she had broken up with her ex weeks ago and also, she would no longer be the leader of her bible book club since off to college really soon.

"Ok people, we need something big for our next and last topic of the year." Liberty held out a bowl and everyone threw pieces of paper in with their names on it, "The two names I pull out of here will be the boss and writer of what that topic will be about... and it may look VERY promising on your college resume for our seniors."

Emma put her hands in her lap, wearing a white short skirt (but not too short, she had a reputation!) and a ombre baby blue to white top. She brushed the bangs across her forehead as she nervously watched Liberty pull out the two names.

She REALLY wanted this!

"Peter." Liberty read and they clapped for him.

Emma stiffened. Ok, now she REALLY REALLY wanted this.

"And Darcy."

Emma's shoulders dropped, frowning and tried to join in on the clap. Well...guess she had enough on her college resume I guess. She had always done extra credit stuff and joined other clubs in the past too, like science and trivia.

"Congrats." Emma said with a small smile when Darcy turned to her, a little shocked she too had gotten picked. She didn't really care for it. She was so over highschool now that college was weeks away but something about this made her a little excited. Darcy got up, smiling and eyes looking in wonder as she and Peter walked to Liberty.

Emma sighed, and looked down, grabbing her bag at her feet before getting up to go also congratulate her boyfriend. Maybe she could help him on it!

Liberty turned to Peter and Darcy as the bell rang, "You two can get together after school and brainstorm, I'll see you tomorrow morning to print your story." she smiled, and with that, left.

"Next time tiger." Peter purred to Emma playfully, putting his hands on waist and pulled her in as she pouted a bit but smiled after.

Darcy stopped on the other side of Peter, "Sorry, Em. Knew how much you wanted this. Only fair though right?"

Emma paused, but nodded at Darcy, "Yeah.." she breathed and they both said their goodbyes, walking out of class.

((*))

Emma stood alone at her locker as her petite, curvy best friend in Degrassi's blue cheerleading uniform came over. Manny had long brown hair that everyone admired and longed for.

"Hey frowny face." teased Manny, coming up beside.

"Hey." she weakly smiled and they walked to math together.

"I heard you didn't get it." pouted Manny for her and squeezed Emma tight with a hug while they walked. Emma finally smiled and rolled her eyes as Manny nearly hugged her so tight her arms went numb. Manny pulled away and insisted, "College will be different, you'll get your own column! I'm sure of it."

"Emma Nelson, column advice." Emma said, amused with the thought that would probably never happen and the two bursted into giggles.

((*))

Later on that night, Emma kept texting Peter, but he must of been so busy with the paper. She decided to just have girls night with Manny, since they lived together, but it felt weird without Darcy, but so be it, it happened a lot since Darcy would always ditch sometimes anyways.

The next morning, the two walked into school nice and early together, "I am so not ready for this exam." breathed Manny. She was thankful Emma was going to study with her in the Library before classes started though. It was only 6:45 am. School wasn't in session until 8am.

Emma laughed and glanced at the library, "I'll meet you in there." Manny nodded and went to her locker just a few doors next to the Library.

Emma smiled, walking into Library but frowned, looking around and lights were off but she didn't feel alone. Some light came through the blinds from the window, leaving just a grey tint around the books and shelves and empty computer desks.

She went to leave, but heard something, and turned back with an odd expression. Was that a giggle? Where was that coming from?

Emma took a step passed one isle of shelves covered with books, then another. Nothing. She heard whispers, and she knew that giggle anywhere now...Darcy.

Her chest caved in.. not liking the feel of this already and took one more step and turned down the isle Darcy and Peter laid in, on a school blanket and naked. Right here, infront of her, in school.

Peter laid over Darcy, whispering things and must of 'finished' because to Emma's knowledge, he did that rather quickly, barely lasted a minute. And Darcy was still giggling and didn't look one bit regretful.

"You.." Emma drifted and Darcy gasped, gripping Peter to her who looked back startled and then horrified.

He never wanted Emma to find out about this.

Peter cursed, grabbing his pants up, "Emma." he quickly tried to dress so they could talk.

"You bastard." Emma felt it, the tears, the hurt and betrayl. Her first real anything boyfriend, with her best friend, behind her back.

Darcy grabbed the blanket from under them, around her, rolling her eyes, "God, Emma. Don't act like it's the end of the world."

"Darcy!" Peter snapped, looking at Darcy who gave a 'what' expression, and he sneered at her before turning to Emma, putting his arms out, "It's not what it looks like."

"She clearly will see through that." muttered Darcy to finally have a pinch of guilt and told Emma, "this isn't the first time, Emma." hey! At least she told the truth.

"Shut up." he shouted. She raised an eyebrow, so rude coming from the guy just sweet talking her a second ago.

Emma needed to run out as fast as she could as teared burned her eyes, but Peter ran after her, grabbing her before she went out the doors.

"She came onto me!" Peter swore.

Emma sobbed, crying so hard and stared into his eyes hatefully, "OH right, and you just had to go stick your dick in her." she sneered and pushed him off her when he tried to hold her back again and slammed the door open and closed.

She went straight to Manny at her locker and Manny's mouth dropped, "Em.." she grabbed the blonde and hugged her tight, she'd never seen her look so crushed, "What's wrong!?"

"Darcy.." Emma choked on her cry, "a-and Peter."

Manny could only put the pieces together, "That bitch!" Manny shrieked, pulling away and her mouth fell. You did NOT go after your friends' boyfriends! Especially your BEST friends! Manny was always closer to Darcy then Darcy and Emma were, but she'd pick Emma over in a heart beat

Darcy had come out, all dressed and fixing her hair and turned when she saw them still around and huffed, taking a few steps towards Emma, "Em, come on. Don't take it too personally. He's a guy. Did you really think you'd take your relationship to college?"

"Guess they'll never know now." snapped Manny, glaring at Darcy who stepped back a bit. She didn't think Manny would be so mad.

Darcy snapped at Emma, "Should of guess she'd take your side. You guys ALWAYS had your stupid little bond and loved to leave poor little me out."

"Poor you, huh Darcy?" Spat Manny, and even Emma was trying to hold her back. She could be quite the hot head when cat fighter when she needed to be!

Emma just turned to look over her shoulder at Darcy, "We're done. Don't ever speak to me again."

"Thank the lord!" Darcy said, as if that was all she wanted, "Now I never have to talk to the school prude or slut ever again." she yelped and jumped back when Manny had gotten out of Emma's grasp for a second and almost swung at her.

"She's not worth it." Emma said, shaking her head and now more angry than hurt. Peter and Darcy were horrible, selfish people. She glared after Darcy who walked away.

"No," Manny admitted, "but punching Peter is." she side noted and stormed to the Library and Emma groaned, chasing her. God love her but Emma just wanted to get away from this entire thing!

He had finally got his jacket on and his eyes widened seeing Manny storm in with Emma behind her, and she dove her fist back and collided her little fist into his nose.

"Oh SHIT Manny! I have prom pictures tomorrow!" he cried, holding his nose in pain that began to bled.

"That's for being a selfish prick!"

Peter looked at Emma so painfully, "Why are you taking this so badly? We'll get over it, move on. It's just some stupid girl. Darcy didn't mean a thing!"

Emma bitterly snickered at him, "We're done."

He frowned, but then eyed between them and slowly had to walk between to get out and they glared him down. Then, he was gone.

Emma looked a wreck, red eyes, puffy nose. Manny shook her head and looked around for her eyes to fall on something.

"What do they say?" Manny asked Emma, "There's nothing like vengeance?" she smirked

"what.." Emma asked, confused, until Manny nodded to the computer screen still on.

Peter and Darcy's work for the last Degrassi High forum was on the screen... and she could erase it all, do her own story and send it out to Liberty to print for everyone.

This is where she could take her revenge.

This is where 'Dear Heart Breaker' would begin...

((*))

The next day of school, everyone was around the halls, laughing and reading their last forum of the year. Some people pulled up the Degrassi news on their iphones.

Peter walked into school, and eyed the people who seemed to be...laughing, at him? Some even narrowed their eyes, and mouthed word words like scum, or jerk.

"Jerk!" a girl even shouted, when he walked passed and hit him with her Science book. Yup! This was for sure about him. He stopped at his locker, looking around nervously to then see one of the forum flyers posted on his locker and ripped it down to read it.

He read it in his head, almost hearing Emma's spiteful words...

'Dear Degrassi students..

As a last end of the year forum, you'd think you'd be getting the corny 'it's been good, we'll all miss you' speech from the seniors who were assigned to write the last paper. Peter and Darcy were too busy getting busy in the Library to do that for you..

So let me lay down the truth instead of the usual bogus lies.

To all the juniors and sophomores who will be seniors and juniors next year? Don't waste your time making future plans with your boyfriends. They don't take them seriously. Also? College? Single life? It's the perfect plan. Focus on yourself, cut your ties from your highschool drama, and start fresh when you finally get to go to college..

.. Make sure to also watch out for those Peter Stones in college too, you don't wanna repeat that highschool immature mistake. Be sure to cut all ties with the lying backstabbing Darcy's that are in your life too. You definitely don't wanna drag those girls to college with you, to your new fresh start (they'll do anything to ruin it for you)

Well, that's my advice for you Degrassi!

Sincerely, and I'll 'miss you all',

Heartbreaker.'

Peter angrily ripped the flyer up and Darcy had been going up and down the halls, trying to take them from everybody.

"Hoe." a girl whispered passed Darcy. Darcy gasped and turned, watching the girls laugh and keep walking. Peter madly kicked his locker and looked around, gritting his teeth... he knew whose handy work this was.

..And Emma happily waved at him from her locker before leaning off of it and followed Manny out the door.

Revenge could be so sweet.
