Miraculous : The Tales of Luka and Marinette

one - the first day

note- this is my first book and im going to try my best please give me feedback and bare with me

Today is the first day of eleventh grade. I am determined to win over Marinette. I love her and all but I am so fucking tired of listening to her go on and on about Adrien. I hate Adrien so much. I don't get what he has and I don't. I am always so kind to almost everyone and if I am being honest, I am better looking than him.

I got dressed after laying in bed thinking of Marinette. I brushed my teeth and flossed then put on my favorite cologne. I put on some eyeliner and used a eyeshadow brush to smudge it. I also put on a bit of mascara. Looking in the mirror, I imagined Marinette standing on her tiptoes and giving me a kiss on the cheek. Shaking my head, I grabbed by bag and went outside. I can't believe it.

Marinette and Alya are walking right across the street together. They never walk this way. Ever. I crossed the street and joined them.

"Hey Marinette. Hey Alya" I smiled and greeted them. I looked down at Marinette and she was staring off in space. She must be thinking of Adrien. The whole summer his father wouldn't let him out of the house. Marinette must be dying to see him. I elbow her.

"Hello? Earth to Marinette?" She giggles and looks up at me. I blush.

"Oh! Hey Luka! Ooo I love your makeup! Did Juleka give it to you? I made you some macaroons yesterday." Marinette hands me and small paper box filled with light blue macaroons. 

I smiled at her and take the box. "Thanks Marinette. Yes Juleka did give me some makeup. I decided to wear some today because it's the first day of school."

She smiled even more. I love when she smiles. I can't stand it when she is sad. Marinette usually only gets sad because of Adrien. That's another reason why I hate Adrien.

We kept walking and eventually we made it to school. We walk in together and I see Adrien staring at Marinette. That's new. I look back down at Marinette and I see Alya whispering in her ear. I feel like she is talking to her about Adrien. I clench my fists and decide to sit behind Marinette and Alya this year. Juleka was going to sit next to me but her girlfriend, Rose, wanted to sit next to her. No one wanted to sit next to me so I just put my bag in the empty spot.

Ms. Bustier walks into the classroom and signals for everyone to stop talking. She starts the lesson but I zone out and think about music and Marinette. I stop zoning out once I hear everyone talking and realize that class is over. Before Alya leaves the class, I stop her.

I bend down a bit and whisper in her ear, "I think I love Marinette."

She covers her mouth in shock then gets super excited. I smile and she whispers back in my ear, "She has been talking about you a ton over the summer. She took down all the photos of Adrien in her room. I think Adrien is starting to like her though because I saw him staring at her when we walked into the school. I told Marinette but she didn't even act weird." 

"Do you think I should tell her? I don't want to ruin our friendship." I whisper again.

"No, I wouldn't tell her yet. Just wait a little bit. But yall should hang out more often and maybe get an idea of how she feels." Alya grabs her bag and walks out the door. I see her meet up with Marinette. 

I sigh and grab my bag. I head out the door and jog to catch up with Marinette and Alya. 

Marinette looks up at me and smiles. "Hey Luka! Me and Alya were wondering if you wanted to have a sleepover with me and Alya this friday. It would be at my house because her sisters would want to hang out with us and they're quite a handful." 

I smile back. "Sure."

"I am going to hang out with Nino. See you!" Alya waves and walks over to Nino and Adrien. She holds hands with Nino then they walk off together. Adrien then starts to walk over to us. Before he can reach us I bend down so my mouth is at Marinette's ear.

"Do you want to do the homework together at my place?" 

Marinette blushes and I grin. I hoped that would happen. I look up and see Adrien staring at us with his mouth open. I take hold of her hand and we walk outside together. 

"I- Um..er. I-I-I would love to!" She stutters. It's so cute when she stutters. I squeeze her hand and we head to my house.

---------------------time skip---------------------

We are sitting across from each other on my bed. Both of us are sitting with our legs criss crossed (idk what its actually called its that position that you would sit in in elementary school at that carpet ugh idk what its called my apologies) with our books sprawled on my bed. We are working on our math homework.

"I can't believe Ms. Bustier would give us this much homework on the first day of school." Marinette sighs and scratches her arm.

I yawn and set down my pen. "I know. It's crazy. But hey, at least we are doing it together." I grin at her. She smiles back and blushes. 

"What if we took a break and went to get ice cream?"

"Sure."

---------------------time skip---------------------

Marinette was sitting next to me with her head on my shoulder. We were sitting by the river, just talking and eating ice cream. While we were talking, I asked if she still liked Adrien and, to my surprise, she said no. I might actually have chance. It was almost four and she should be getting home. I slowly got up and threw away our ice cream cups. 

"You should probably go home soon, Marinette." I take her hand and help her up.

"Yeah, you're right. We need to stop by your place again so I can grab by books and stuff." She smiles and we start walking to my place, still holding hands. I am pretty sure she thinks of us in a friendly way but I don't care. At least I am holding her hand.

We go inside and get all her stuff together. Marinette hugs me and says goodbye but I grab her arm to stop her. 

"Can I walk you home?" I hope I am not pushing it. I just love every moment we spend together. She blushes and nods her head shyly. I take hold of her hand again and we walk to her house. We walk inside together, still holding hands. I see her parents and let go of her hand. I don't think she would want her parents bugging her about us. Marinette smiles and hugs me again.

"Bye Marinette. I'll see you tomorrow." I wave goodbye and walk back to my house. I lay on my bed and replay everything that has happened today. I love her so much. I hope Marinette loves me back.
