Emma had no idea how much of a hit it would be, that forum became a legend at Degrassi, and when Emma went to college, and had to watch Manny go through a tough heart break herself, Emma decided 'Dear Heartbreaker' needed to become college legend too.

She wrote an anonymous letter to the newspaper to put in their paper about boys in college who used freshmen girls like a piece of meet. She wrote about how mothers would be ashamed of their sons, and that girls worked so hard since the 1800s to be respected, not treated like sluts. She stated that those guys were just manipulative insecure losers and that the girls needed to put their foot down. It went so viral, that every girl wanted to read more, and every guy that did that sort of thing, was put on blast. Every girl in freshmen year had actually took a stand, and barely any guys got into any freshmens pants that year. Everyone wanted to know who 'Dear Heartbreaker was'.

Luckily, Ellie Nash, a tiny red head apart of the newspaper, knew where the sent address was from, and went to secretly go meet Emma to ask her to write more.

It took some serious thought, but as thoughts of Peters and Darcys flowed in her head, Emma took the job. She would anonymously write for the college paper, talking about guys she met and which ones to stay away from, she was like a dear Abby, and even wrote back to girls who needed help.

Manny, who had finally gotten over her little heart break from some idiot named Craig, noticed Emma still didn't seem over hers from Peter. Or, maybe, it struck home. Emma's mom Spike and step father Snake were now getting a divorce, which came as a painful blow for Emma who thought they were perfect together. Snake was like a father to her since she was 10. Manny even loved them like second parents. Manny began to notice Emma get a little too obsessed with the column when she dated more guys, who turned out to be the idiots she knew they would be, but at least Emma had built a wall up and it became a great story!

But as a year passed and Emma was still writing this column secretively (nobody knew who Dear heartbreaker was), somebody began to notice Emma purposely sabotaging every relationship she went into. . Manny.

"I can't help it every guy I seem to attract is some pig, loser or womanizer." Emma would say when Manny brought it up.

"What about Darrel? He was actually a nice guy." Manny reminded her.

Emma shrugged, "I had to end it, to show my readers nobody who seems perfect, is." she raised an eyebrow at Manny.

"You're harsh girl.'' giggled Ellie, sitting with them for lunch and Manny sighed. Ellie didn't help, Ellie LOVED the views her newspaper got because of Emma. She took most the credit, because Emma didn't. Couldn't, really.

Manny had to think hard when it came to the almost the end of their second college year. She had to think smart (which really hurt her brain because that was usually Emma's job to brainstorm).

Manny was unhappy that Emma was getting rid of guys who could of been good for her, so Manny thought all she needed was somebody who basically wouldn't let Emma break up with them. A guy who was determined. A guy who could hopefully change her best friends mind and fix her trust issues.

Manny now had a plan, to find the perfect guy to knock Emma off her feet, because a girl like Emma couldn't be swung, she had to be hit. And it had to be real.

But who?

Who could this perfect guy be?

((*))

"Hey girl!" Manny heard and turned towards her new college friend, Mia, and smiled. Manny now still had her long brown hair, but it flowed even longer and she had bangs too and a more toned body from her Yoga classes that she actually shared with Emma and Mia. That's how they met. No Emma today though, just Mia.

"Mia." she greeted and had waited for her at an outside cafe near campus where they usually eat lunch on Wednesdays when Emma was too busy writing her 'secret' column to her fans. Not even Mia knew she was the writer.

Mia was also followed by three guys, one guy holding her daughters hand. That was Lucas. The two had Isabelle when in highschool. The other two guys though? Manny had no clue who they were but they were no college guys. They probably worked at the auto shop Lucas did.

"Hey Isabelle!" Manny said happily as the little girl blushed and sat next to her. They all sat, and now Manny had more of a view of the mysterious guys and my, were they pantie dropping material.

The one had a backwards hat on, the cutest little light brown hairs peeking out and he was tall, and lean, and lighting a cigerette. He caught her eye before he exhaled and tried to hide his smirk.

Manny was known to be an eye grabber too. He noticed her as soon as he pulled up with his friends in his car, the bright orange civic. The girl had tight curves and wore a tank top that hugged tightly around her perfect sized tits and her hair looked so long and soft. He loved brunettes. The dimples when she smiled or laughed too was making him almost groan right then and there. Too bad he had a girl friend. But, he was Jay Hogart and he never took dating seriously.

Manny couldn't help but have to glance to the guy next to Jay. Even if she did feel a wierd, but good 'vibe' with Jay, she couldn't help but notice how gorgeous the guy next to him was and he made her curious. He seemed like a mechanic, with his white wife beater, jeans with car grease stains on some of it. He had biceps that even made her wanting a glass of water already. Where was the damn waitress?

The only odd thing about him was, one) he wasn't drooling over her, and two) he had a business book in his hand that he dropped on the table in front of him before leaning back and trying to just enjoy a good friendly hangout.

Manny gave Mia a look, almost silently asking 'where did these guys come from and how long have you been hiding them'. But only Mia laughed, understanding that look. In highschool, Lucas, Jay and Sean were the bad boys of her school and Lucas had her in the palm of his hand easily. Thankfully, she too had him wrapped around her finger. Unfortunately, the condom broke when they had sex. But! At least they got something great out of it. Isabella.

Still though, Mia sent Manny a silent warning with a look not to both with these guys. Jay and Sean were heart throbbers, yes, but also heart breakers.

"Manny, this is Sean." she pointed at Mr Biceps in sunglasses who pushed his growing hair back but nodded politely at her. "And Jay." The guy with the backwards hat shared a mischievous grin with Manny. Mia rolled her eyes smiling. She could see the spark flying. But Jay had a girl friend. Or atleast a reoccurring girl he's been sleeping with for a month now, which was 'commitment' for him. Her name was Alex, and she was kind of a ball buster but he sorta liked that, she gave him a few laughs. But this girl in front of him now, she made him harder than any girl ever did by just a smile and dare he say it, he was even getting butterflies.

"Do you mind?" Manny couldn't help but tease Jay but admit, "The smell makes me wanna vomit."

Jay tried to hold in his smirk, biting the inside of his cheek as Sean even laughed shortly while he ashed his cigerette out, then grabbed a menu off the table.

Mia then happily put her arm on Lucas' shoulder and asked Izzy, "What are you hungry for, princess Izzy?"

Izzy, who wore a disney dress today, giggled and shouted, "Hot dogs!" they all laughed, and order when the waitress came.

As they socialized, Sean sighed and opened his book to study, not really into the 'gossip' the girls were in at the had worked 7 hours at the shop today, and he had his buisness homework to do still. He didn't think trying to work and go to school was going to be so hard but it was.

It was wierd he made it to college, Jay didn't and he honestly didn't think either of them would but he did, and this was his last year to finally finish his business course and go and get that dream of his to work out..his own auto shop. Jay was depending on him too.

"You take business too?" Manny spoke up, still a little curious about Sean.

"He's a year above us." Mia said and then gasped "Oh god, Lucas, it's your moms birthday tomorrow!" she got up quickly, grabbing Izzy's hand, "We have to go find a present before the mall closes!"

"How do you remember this stuff and I don't?" Snickered Lucas to the guys but got up, "Later guys." he paid their half the meal and left.

"Sorry Manny!" Mia called over her shoulder, running down the street with her daughter and boyfriend.

Manny giggled a bit and leaned back in her chair. No big deal. It was a nice day out. And Manny could handle a pair of two guys- no wait- ugh, get your mind out of the gutter! . . oh but, wow, were they quite the studs.

Jay leaned forward on his seat, not wanting this girl to go just yet, "So are you passing this course?" he taunted playfully but knew Sean even was having some difficulty. Sean didn't show it off, but the guy was actually smart when it came to stuff he knew he had to put an effort in, liking owning a business one day. So if Sean just thought about it, auto shop style, he passed with flying colors.

Manny gave him a look, "Ofcourse-" she frowned, "..I am.." nope, it was pretty hard. Emma tried helping her study but Manny was thinking of changing her major.

Sean even gave her a look, his sunglasses now hanging off his shirt. He had bright blue eyes. Oh my god- Manny now knew who he'd be perfect for. He was charming, mysterious, gorgeous and seemed responsible since studying and what kind of bad boy tried studying? He was clearly a good one! Just hopefully, he was single. And who didn't love a mechanic? Ohmygod, ohmygod, oohmygod. He was perfect for Emma! A best friend would know.

Manny now smiled brightly and scooted closer, wanting to get to know these guys more. She admitted, "It's a little tough." she grabbed out her books from her bag and the schools newspaper was sitting on top it. She had circled Emma's column on the back page just because sometimes, it was fun reading it. She went back to show Sean the part she was a bit confused about, but the guys had actually noticed the column and spoke up "In here-"

Jay cut her off, "You read this crap?" he asked, taking her newspaper.

He saved Sean by the bell though, not really wanting to do this chicks work while he was trying to focus on his.

He glanced at what Jay was now reading out loud, "Dear Heart breaker, my name is Gabby." he snickered already at the name, "I don't know if my boyfriends cheating on me or not but I've been finding some horrible evidence in his college dorm, like bras even! But he's saying it's his sisters... I've never met his family though so couldn't say he was telling the truth, but we have been dating for 2 years.. What should I do?'

Sean laughed at Jay's high pitch reading and Jay had expressed enough that he wasn't a fan of this column. Manny could tell why. She rolled her eyes smiling.

"Response." Jay said, raising his finger for everyone to listen up and cleared his throat and spoke seriously, "Dear Gabby, Is somebody forgetting that one corny saying 'trust your gut?' It's not an annoying phrase for nothin'. Get out Gabby, while you can..and haven't met his family yet in two years? You shouldn't need my advice on this girl. You know what to do! xo- Heartbreaker."

"bullshit." mummered Sean, getting back to work and flipping through pages.

Manny looked between them and raised her eyebrow, "You guys clearly hate the column because you've either being the type of guy whose cheating, so can't respect the column, or has actually been called out in the column.. or," she wrinkled her nose, "Actually there's no more options."

They both smirked at her devilishly. Ohhh, those smirks just let her read them loud and clear. Oookayy.. She got it. These guys were actual heart breakers, the real deal, the type that even made Peter Stone look like nothing.

Jay spoke again, "Let's just say Ive have a few girls ask for advice from Dear Heartbreaker about me but luckily, the mystery writer hasn't been able to figure out who I am since I don't attend your little world of college."

Manny raised her eyebrows and laughed a little then asked Sean, "you?"

Jay laughed for him, hitting Sean's shoulder, "Sean here has been able to stay clear of being mentioned in the column while even being in the system and breaking hearts left to right. My little professional." he joked, putting his hand over his heard.

Wow. Manny was impressed, Sean was a player and Emma hadn't heard of him or wrote about him? He must be good. Enough to fall in love with, good?

She had no intentions to hurt Emma, but, she wanted a guy to make Emma remember how good a guy could make her feel. She'd have to make Sean promise not to break her heart if she could make him agree to setting them up. She had no idea how she was going to do that though. Emma just needed to be..taught a lesson, for her own good though! That's all! A guy to tell her 'no' when she tries to purposely destroy the relationship. A guy who would put her heart back together and finally give up this bitter column that really just led back to Peter and a betraying best friend, and step Dad whom she missed.

Manny's head tilted, an imaginary light bulb appearing over her head, "So you're a bit of a ...charmer, right?" she said to Sean.

Sean sighed, closing his books. He clearly wasn't going to get done any work here. This girl was hot, but, he just wasn't interested today, and Jay called dibs that Sean wasn't going to fight him for. Sean had yet to find a girl worth that energy. No offense to the girl.

Jay jealously looked between the two too, "Hey, he learns from the best." teased Jay and Manny flashed him a look.

"You're too much for her." Manny declared.

"Wait...what?" Jay asked, now confused.

Sean was also and furrowed his eyebrows, "What are you talking about and where are you trying to go with it?" he had to chuckle a bit.

Manny bit her lip nervously. She's never told anybody this before, Emma would kill her.

"I know who Dear Heart breaker is." Manny confessed. Both guys looked amused and interested, but, why was she telling them?

"Oh god.." Jay feared, giving Manny a look, squinting his eyes at her as if he felt assaulted, "It's not you is it? Did we just rat ourselves out to THE dear heart breaker?" Jay asked Sean.

Sean eyed Manny, "She doesn't look like a writer..."

"Hey" barked Manny and pointed her finger, "I'm not, but I can easily put you in there." she teased then told Sean, "I have an offer for you."

"Is there some spark here between you guys I'm not seeing here?" Jay bittered jealously. Manny almost blushed at his obvious annoyance and Sean sighed boredly.

Manny went on, "How would you like to meet her yourself?" she asked.

"And let her put her nose into my life and expose it in your little newspaper? No thanks." taunted Sean, laughing with Jay.

"No." Manny rolled her eyes, "Charm her, get to know her, make her fall for you..you don't have to fall for her, but don't let her ruin another relationship. Don't let yourself become another story for her column so she can go on saying every guy is bad news. Teach her a lesson, change her mind."

Jay and Sean stared at her, than shared a look with another skeptically.

"What's in it for you?" Jay asked, "Why do you wanna teach this girl a lesson?"

"Is this out of spite or trying to help her?" Sean asked, getting a wierd vibe but kind of interested. Meeting Dear Heart breaker herself, and making her fall for him? That was a nice challenge.

"Tough love." sighed Manny, "She's my best friend, and she can never know I set you up to this!" she threatened Sean.

"I haven't even agreed." he rolled his eyes, "Who says I wanna be part of this nosey girls life? She's probably not even hot.. .some nerd behind a typewriter whose..I don't know, fat? Ugly?"

Manny snickered, Emma was far from, some people tend to be put into shock when Emma outsmarts them when they think she's some dumb hot blonde, "Well, wouldn't you like to know?" she amused him some more.

Sean always liked a challenge and clenched his jaw, looking to Jay for advice who shrugged.

"Would be nice to turn it around on her for once," Jay noted.

"No breaking her heart!" snapped Manny, almost making Jay's eyes widen at the fury across her face now. Wow, she got fiesty. She looked to Sean, "Meet me tomorrow on campus infront of school, directly at 2:30" she told Sean, standing up, "You can tell me then if you're in or out."

With that, she turned and walked off, guys watching her go but Jay watched her til out of site and finally let out a shakey breath, "She's hot."

Sean opened his books back up, not paying attention and muttered, "You're suppose to be dating Alex."

Jay smirked, "I know..." he drifted but couldn't help but glance where Manny last sat. She had the cutest dimples.. .He'd call her dimples for now on if he saw her again...he hoped he would.
