Spin the bottle had lasted for a little while longer, Max got to take a break and was excited to have his turn with the girls and the boys for a few times.

Alya and Nino were beyond happy with the results of the first plan. It had gone so well. Marinette and adrien still had a rosey glow to them ever since the kiss they had shared and were making conversation - meaning that they were pretty much completely out of the stuttering, shy phase.

'High school game 2, seven minutes in heaven' alyla yelled excitedly receiving another positive response from the crowd.

Marinette's head ducked shyly and adrien noticed this.

'Are you okay?' He asked politely taking a small swig from his drink.

'I've never really played this before... have you?' Marinette replied nervously.

'Nope, if I'm being honest with you this is one of my first proper parties - other than the one Nino threw for me a few years back' Adrien smiled trying to reassure Marinette.

'Ah okay, I think you have to be locked in a room with someone for 7 minutes... I just - I don't know whether I'd be comfortable with that' Marinette looked down a little anxiously.

'Hey don't worry, it's just a game and if you really aren't happy with it, you don't have to go through with it you know' Adrien patted marinette's tense shoulders.

She looked up at him and nodded in response.

Max was back up at the counter spinning the bottle once again.

'Drum roll please!' Alya yelled taking a shot of tequila. Everyone began to slap the floor rapidly.

'The first pair to head on down into the Party hall's cupboard is... LUKA AND CHLOE' Nino shouted excitedly.

Chloe smiled and whispered under her breath 'finally!'

Luka looked a little uncomfortable, but decided to give Chloe a chance since she seemed to be quite the spirit at times. They walked off towards the cuboard, Chloe clinging to Luka's arm being dramatic as always in which Alya ran over to close the doors behind them and set a timer for 7 minutes.

Whilst this was occurring Adrien had been watching marinette's reaction the whole time, trying to see whether she was envious or jealous of Chloe who was with Luka. Nothing absolutely no reaction occurred... Marinette actually seemed happy for Chloe or Luka or even both of them for being able to have a chance to get to know one another.

Who does she really love then? This is driving me crazy! Adrien thought.

Whilst Adrien was in a stressed thought process state Marinette started giggling copying his expressions whilst doing so. Marinette furrowed her eyebrows and pulled a thoughtful face - imitating Adrien and waiting for him to notice.
