Episode 11: Heart Breaker

Zacharie Couffaine raised his eyebrow at his classmate as she handed him a letter, "Look, just please give it to Emma."

The boy sighed at the red head, "Again, not sure, Iris. She's going through some stuff."

Iris huffed at him, "Look, Zacharie. I understand that. But...I finally got the courage to do this. I need to make sure the letter gets to her."

The blonde eyed the red head, "That's great and all but I'm not a messenger. Give it to her yourself."

Iris glared her amber eyes at him, "I'll freak out. I'll lose my nerve. Emma is so hot and sweet and funny and her arms...her arms…."

Zacharie made a face as the red head got a far off look on her face and seemed to reflect on his friend's good features. Honestly, this didn't surprise him.

It was Valentine's Day and his school falling all over each other trying to get the attention and love of who ever caught their fancy. Zach didn't really care honestly, he rarely got into the Valentine madness. But this year apparently dragged him into it. Since Emma Agreste, his friend, had entered the school she had turned some heads and gotten a lot of guys and girls' attention. But most boys had decided to give up on any pursuit of Emma once it became know she was a lesbian. The girls followed once the rumor began that she was interested in Sophie Léon.

Zacharie had thought that would be the end of it.

Till that was Iris Bellamy of all people had come up to ask about Emma a couple days ago. Then come up to him today to give Emma a confession letter. Iris, the server that had literally learned that Emma was into Sophie in the first place, wanted to confess to her? Wanted to do this on Valentine's day?

The boy rolled his eyes and handed the letter back, "Look, I'm not going to do this, Iris. If you like Emma you're going to have to do it yourself. Leave it in her desk or go to her house, I have no idea when she'll be back."

Iris gave the purple tip dyed blonde an annoyed look, "Couffaine, just take her the letter. Me a stranger really can't show up at her house."

The two started passing the letter back and forth as some of their classmates started looking at their fighting, it really was too early for this shit and they know their homeroom teacher will give them crap for causing a commotion when he got in.

"Take the letter!"

"No!"

"Give it to Emma!"

"You do it!"

The rest of the class minus the fighting pair froze as a new person came into the room.

"Just do it!"

"Emma doesn't need it!"

"I want to get it to her!"

"If you want Emma to have it you give it to her!"

A hand shot out and took the letter.

Iris and Zacharie jumped in shock and blinked. Zacharie looked surprised as Iris grew red. Looking confused holding the letter was Emma.

"Emma, hey. You're back?" Zacharie asked in confusion.

The green eyed girl raised her eyebrow and flipped the letter over to open it, "Um, what up with the letter?"

Iris blushed deeply, "Um, well. I just...I got to go!"

The red head ran away and into her friends who were waiting to comfort her.

Emma looked confused at Zacharie as she opened the letter, "What's up with Iris?"

"I'm more concerned with you, Em. You okay?" Zach asked his friend as concerned, "It's been a week."

The girl opened the letter and pulled out the paper, "I'm still kinda in a daze. Heartbreak does that but I think I'll be ok-" she stopped abruptly as she read the letter, "Oh. Oh. um…" She looked at Zacharie again and shyly asked, "Iris likes me?"

One of their other classmates, Francis Jeong, leaned closer and looked at her dumbly, having overheard the conversation, "Agreste, you'll find a lot of guys and girls like you. If you weren't so busy chasing Léon you'd know."

The girl stared as Zach couldn't help but giggle at her dumbfounded face.

…..

Sophie hummed softly to herself the song Louis sent her this morning as she put her books in her locker. She paused and looked down at the book that Emma had given her for her birthday.

Honestly, she had no idea how Emma had hidden that bag of her balcony but she was honestly surprised.

How did Emma get that onto her balcony?

She sighed and put the book back into her bag and closed her locker, then moved to turn down the hallway to where her class was located. When all of a sudden Nina appeared in front of her.

"Let's go this way!" Nina turned her around and tried to lead her a different way.

Sophie started to let herself get pulled away till she heard a crash and a familiar voice, "What is all this?!"

The blonde froze and then looked accusingly at Nina, "You…"

Nina looked ashamed, "Its not…"

The blonde swiftly turned around and went down the hall but stopped frozen in place as she whispered, "Emma's back…"

Indeed Emma Agreste was back in school, looking the same as always did, in comfortable jeans and a black hoodie, backpack over her shoulder. Unlike usually though her face was in a comical expression as she looked at a stack of gifts and letters that had fallen out of her locker as Zacharie was laughing hysterical next to her.

Emma glared at her laughing friend through her glasses, "This isn't funny, Zach!"

"I think it is," Zacharie laughed harder.

The black haired girl sighed and looked back at the pile of the floor, "I can't be this popular."

"It must be your arms," Zach added with a snicker, "Iris says they're dreamy."

"My arms?" The girl blushed deeply as she heard the warning bell go off, " Just help me gather these Valentine's Day gifts up!"

Sophie watched silently as Zacharie and Emma scrambled to gather up all the gifts and letters. She moved to help and checked how Emma was when Nina reached her and dragged her out of the way.

"No. You can't talk to Emma yet," Nina warned, "Not till me and Zacharie see where she is mentally."

At that Sophie narrowed her eyes at that, "And why would you need to do that?"

Nina's eyes widened with shock, "Um, what...I mean…"

Sophie gasped, "You didn't…You told her and then I….Nina!"

"Shit."

…..

Across town in a secret location, Luna Moth was smiling as she looked at all the choices she had for her new akuma.

"So, many heartbroken people," the villain smiled, "Today shall be fun."
