🌹 Rose Giving For a Heartbreaker

[Marnie Frogg]

Red Rose for @Emmanuel Okoye

As one of the organizers, Marnie knew it was fully in her power to delegate her next to rose someone else. Literally anyone else. But once she'd seen it on her list, she couldn't ignore the curiosity of who could possibly be sending Emmanuel a red rose. Sure, he'd been popular, what with Penny AND Daria pining after him at least (and hadn't that been a surprise to find out, poor Daria), but Marnie couldn't imagine anyone still thought the same way after he broke Penny's heart.

"Emmanuel, hey- I mean hey," Marnie said, greeting him before remembering to lower her voice in the library. "It's Valentine's day and someone sent you a rose," she announced rather flatly, holding out the red rose like an accusation between them. She'd mostly gotten past her animosity for him after they'd spoken last year, but it'd had reared up rather suddenly today and she was rather hoping to get a glimpse of the note to get a few answers.

Emmanuel wasn't really expecting to get any roses this year. He had been busy and unable to really focus on anything beyond his studies. So, Marnie suddenly being in front of him with a red rose being held out hand him curious. He had no idea who might've sent him a red rose, and yet his mind flicked to Kyon. He had sent the boy a pink rose, not a red one, but maybe this wasn't from him. Why was he hoping it maybe was. "Thanks Marnie," he said with warmth and politeness.
