Leave Zack alone, but keep this in her arsenal for later

Emily leaned over and kissed his cheek, rubbing his arm, "Sorry for teasing you babe, don't worry though now that I know it gets you going I'll bring it up again." She gave him a wink before turning her attention back to the front to listen to Mrs. Alvarez explain the course curriculum. Emily could hear Zack let out a bit of a groan realizing she now had a way to get him going when she wanted.

English class dragged as Mrs. Alvarez droned on and on about proper punctuation, future reading assignments and how to succeed in her class. Emily didn't really care she was good enough at English that she didn't need the yearly review. As the bell rang her and Zack made their journey back to their locker, going back and forth like this between opposite ends of the school was going to be a pain but when classes ended and extracurriculars began it'd be a blessing. Hand in hand the two turned the corner to their locker and saw Heather slumped against them. She was on the ground knees tucked into her chest, arms wrapped around her legs and her face planted firmly on between her thighs. "Should we see if she's alright?" Zack asked, "I know she's been mean to you and Chloe but nobody should feel like shit and not be comforted." Emily let out a sigh, Zack was right, despite Heather being a monster she shouldn't be left to suffer. The two approached Heather and Zack was the first to get her attention. "Heather are you okay?" Heather looked up and Emily could see her beautiful greens eyes now had tears in them and her makeup was smudged slightly.

"No...my boyfriend *sniffle* I guess now my ex boyfriend cheated on me!" Heather slumped her forehead forward again and started to cry. Both Emily and Zack got on the ground on either side of her, Emily couldn't help but smell the perfume she was wearing. Some sort of fruity blast hit her nose and Emily couldn't help but enjoy it's scent. Putting a hand on Heathers shoulders she gave her an awkward sideways hug. "Why are you being nice to me? We hate each other, you should be enjoying this...." Emily watched as Heather drew further into herself.

"I don't hate you Heather I just don't like how mean you are to me and Chloe. Regardless of that you shouldn't feel like shit alone, you shouldn't have to deal with a cheating asshole alone." Emily took a loose strand of hair from Heather's side and tucked it behind Heathers ear, she'd have to help her fix her braid afterwards. She looked to the otherside of Heather where Zack was sitting and his eyes locked with hers as he mouthed 'proud of you for being the better person'.

"Heather you've got drama class with us right? Why don't you walk with us there and sit with us? If we've got a performance or something I'm sure we could convince Ms. Pomeroy to let the three of us work together." Zack had a pretty good plan there, Heather probably didn't want to be alone and if she got stuck with other peoppe they might ask her a bunch of questions she doesn't want to answer. Heather lifted her head to look between the two of them.

"You'd keep me distracted today?" They both nodded and Heather suddenly leaned over and hugged Zack before turning to hug Emily. "Honestly I didn't know what I was going to do for support since he cheated with my bitch of a best friend Jasmine!" Despite having tears in her eyes, Heathers sadness was suddenly replaced with that bitchiness Emily and Zack had come to know of her. Emily quickly realized Heather wasn't upset about the guy she could care less it was about being betrayed by her only friend. The feeling of being alone is what had broken Heather but now that she had Zack and Emily, Heather had no reason to be upset about the prospect of being alone. The three of them stood up and Heather handed Zack her stuff, "Zacky could you be a sweetheart and take our stuff to the drama class? I need Emily to help me fix myself up for class." She flashed Zack her pearly whites and Emily knew neither of them could say no, neither of them wanted to risk upsetting Heather.

Zack nodded in agreeance before getting Emily's bag while giving her a quick kiss and saying he'd meet them in drama. Both Emily and Heather watched Zack walk down the hall, Emily couldn't help but watch her boyfriends ass as he walked away. Did she have an ass fascination? She noticed she wasn't the only one watching Zack walk away, Heather's eyes were bouncing with each step he took. Emily felt a pit of jealousy in her throat and coughed to get Heathers attention, "Ahem, hey Heather we should probably hurry up and get you fixed up." Heather realizing she had been caught quickly turned to Emily with a smile and looped an arm through hers.

"C'mon Emily lets make me sexy again." Heather giggled innocently and started to take the two towards the girls changeroom, Emily couldn't help but wonder what she had gotten herself into.
