Episode 15: Last Try
Louis Agreste took a deep breath and walked over to Sophie Leon and Nina Lahiffe, "Hey, Sophie. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure?"
"Will you go out with me?"
Sophie looked surprised for a moment, "Um, sure?"
Louis and Sophie smiled awkwardly at each other, neither noticed the look on Nina's face.
Louis stared at his girlfriend in surprise at her being on the couch with his sister. They were on opposite ends of the couch with their legs tangled together as they watched some cartoon.
"Sophie?" Louis asked sourly as he sat his backpack on the floor, "I thought you were busy today."
Sophie and Emma looked confused at the boy as he looked at them. Sophie blinked before answering, " Yeah, I made plans with Emma today."
The boy glared at his sister and girlfriend's tangled legs.
Emma noticed the glare and quickly removed her legs from Sophie's and stood up, "Um, I'm going to just head to my room for something I forgot."
The older Agreste left the room ignoring the protests from Sophie and the glares from Louis.
"What's with that look and tone, Louis?" the blonde demanded as she stood up and looked at her boyfriend.
"You told me you couldn't come work on those papers at the library cause you were busy," he explained upset, "Watching cartoons with my sister is not busy."
"Amazingly, Lou," the girl shot back, "Helping you with your history paper is not fun and I wasn't cancelling my plans to watch Sailor Moon with your sister to help. My time with my friends is just as important as my time as you."
Louis's blue eyes seem to light up with anger at this, "I'm your boyfriend not your friend. Not to mention you've felt like you've been avoiding me."
Sophie rolled her eyes at Louis, "No, I've just been hanging out with Emma more since she broke up with Iris and has been down."
"Yeah, hanging out with my lesbian sister that has a crush on you."
The room went quiet as Sophie stared at Louis in shock, "You knew?"
"Everyone knows, Sophie. Hell, she kissed you, I don't care if you said it was a mistletoe kiss, it was still a kiss."
They both stood silently as the tv continued playing the ending of the show in the background.
"So, where do we stand, Sophie?"
….
Emma laid on her bed trying not to listen to her brother and her friend as she pet her cat that was sitting on her stomach.
"You know," Plagg commented as she ate some of his cheese, "I think your love life is certainly more complicated than your fathers and mothers."
Without hesitation a pillow collided with Plagg, "Plagg, shut up!"
….
Sophie looked up at the plans she had written down with Louis tomorrow. She couldn't help but think about why she was doing this. Why was she trying to fight for a relationship with Louis? Her heart wasn't in it anymore. Was it ever?
The dates weren't fun anymore, and the few times they ever had slept together were….not what she had expected.
Sophie had more fun with Emma. She felt safety and happier with Emma...so why was she clinging to Louis? Was it because it was the easier option, the expected option?
She sighed, "Emma."
"You know," Tikki commented while eating a cookie, "You never did have that talk with Emma about her crush. Maybe you should talk to her about your crush as well."
"TIKKI!"
She fiddled with her necklace as she glared at the laughing kwami.
…
Iris and Zacharie sat eating french fries with a disgruntled looking Nina and a bored looking Tsubasa.
"Why is she here?" Nina demanded glaring at the girl.
"Friendship and what not," Zacharie explained as Iris rolled her eyes.
"I thought we were here to bitch about the Agreste love triangle," Iris innocently stated as Tsubasa choked on his drink.
"Don't joke like that," Tsubasa complained, whipping his mouth.
"Seriously," Nina agreed as Iris and Zach laughed.
Zacharie tossed a fry at Nina, "Look, Nina we need to accept that all three of them are idiots."
Nina glared as Iris added, "Like seriously. I hate these. Like I wish Emma and Sophie would get together already."
Tsubasa glared a little at Iris, "Hey, Louis is still my friend."
The other three glanced at Tsubasa surprised till Tsubasa sighed, "Your right….Louis keeps complaining about his and Sophie's sex lifr Or lack thereof."
Nina made a face and added, "Gross but Sophie has been saying how sleeping with Louis doesn't feel right."
Zacharie looked expectantly at Iris to add something and Iris gave him a playful, "I have nothing to add Mr. Couffaine. Me and Emma never had sex."
"Really?!"
"Huh," Nina muttered shocked "Damn, I was hoping for a wrong name or something during passion."
The teenagers continued their gossiping, not noticing the brown haired teenager listening to them from a couple tables away thinking about all the trouble she could make with the love triangle.
"So much havoc to do, so little time."
