Iris

Chapter 1:

...I'm in love with you Helia.

~ Flora

Ugh this is rubbish.. Flora thought, before throwing the letter in the trash can. I'll never be good enough for him. He's just so smart, handsome and considerate. Compared to him I'm worthless. No wonder I'm the only one without a boyfriend.

Flora stood up, packed her bag and went to the forest for some studying. Maybe she would stay there for the night, to escape reality.

Meanwhile Stella just finished cleaning her room. It was time for spring cleaning and since she was already cleaning, she decided to clean the other girls' rooms as well. She began with Flora's and Bloom's room. Bloom's part was quite messy: Stella found some used panties and old, dusty socks under her bed. Flora, on the other hand, had always kept her place nice and tidy. The only thing that she had to do in Flora's part of the room was emptying her trash can. There was only one object laying in her bin: a fumbled paper. Stella, full of curiousness, decided to have a look at it. It seemed to be a love letter from Flora to Helia, that 'artistic' pacifist. He was alright, but she didn't really know him that well. He wasn't that talkative. She decided to read the letter.

Dear Helia,

I know this is unexpected, but I can't hide my feelings anymore. You see, I really enjoy being surrounded by nature. It comforts me. In the forest of Magix, you can find the iris flower in many different colors. From blue, to green, to purple dotted pink, to all black. However, I've thus far only found one rainbow-colored iris. Every weekend, I visit that place to admire this very special flower, but I never pick it, because I don't want to harm it. This beautiful flower makes me think of something, someone actually. That's why I'm writing this letter to you. You see, to me you are just as special as that flower. I think you are pure and honest, unlike most guys. You're also smart and sweet, and I know you love nature as much as I do. It just feels like you get me, and that's a rarity. I've never felt like that. When I think of you, my heart starts pounding and seeing you just makes my day. I just have the urge to tell you, but I don't want to ruin things between us. And so I hid my feelings towards you, because it's better to stay 'just friends' than to lose you. Therefore I'm going to throw this letter in the trash can, as usual. But I would really want you to know that you will always have a very special place in my heart.

I'm in love with you Helia.

~ Flora

She couldn't believe what she had just read. She never knew Flora was so insecure and she definitely didn't know about Flora's feelings towards Helia! Stella felt that she needed to talk to Flora about this, but she was nowhere in sight... She should call the other Winx first, maybe they knew where she would be.

A.N. Hey dear readers! We just started a new story. This is the first chapter. Sorry if it's short but we'll hopefully write some longer chapters in a few weeks, because we have finals at the moment. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and please leave a comment. If you have any suggestions, please let us know!
