My Girl (updated)

Chapter 4

LUKA'S POV

I watched Marinette walk down the stairs, a happy smile on her face as she rushed to hand Ms. Bustier the papers. I was so focused on her, that I missed Lila sticking her foot out and tripping Marinette. My world froze as she toppled over, the papers flying in the air. My heart sunk when I heard the thwack of her head connecting with the edge of the steps. I wanted to race over to her but I couldn't make my body move fast enough. By the time I got to her everyone was already surrounding her. I pushed past Adrien and Alya to get a better look at what happened and to see if she was ok.

When I finally got to the front I stopped and let out a cry. There was blood pooling around her head as she lay seemingly lifeless on the cold linoleum. I heard several gasps and cries from behind me but I couldn't bear to look away from her. I watched as her chest methodically rose and fell with each breath she took and sighed, relieved that she was still alive. I finally broke away and looked around for the teacher but she was nowhere to be seen. Then my eyes connected with Lila and my blood boiled.

It's everything in my power to keep me rooted in place and not rush over and punch her. How could she hurt someone and then have the audacity to sit there smiling while her victim bleeds out? She caught me staring and waved, her smile growing wider. I glared at her and immediately turned around. By now everyone was in a panic. No one knew what to do and everyone was freaking out. Some wanted to move her, while others argued that it's dangerous to move her. And then there were the people trying to figure out who tripped her. Alya and Nino were in a heated argument with Chloe and Adrien didn't seem to move at all. Rose was crying and Juleka was muttering something to herself under her breath.

It was utter chaos all around while Marinette started there motionless. I was thinking about running out for help when the classroom door banged open. Paramedics rushed the scene followed by Mr. Damocles and Ms. Bustier. They carted Marinette off without a word solemn looks on their faces. "Don't worry", I told myself, "she was still breathing. She'll be fine." I took a shaky breath, trying to calm my heart as it tried to pound out of my chest. Mr. Damocles cleared his throat loudly, catching everyone's attention.

"Everyone gather around. It has come to my attention that someone in this room was the one responsible for hurting our dear student, Marinette. If the person steps forward and confesses now we will handle this through the school. If not I won't hesitate to get the authorities involved. That being said if anyone saw what happened and would like to share it with us we will be speaking with you one by one. Given where she fell we have only four suspects to go off of. Now we will call your name in order please come up swiftly and accordingly."

One by one we were called out taken out of class, everyone saying their piece. However, they didn't call everyone. Ms. Bustier pulled four students to the side while Mr. Damocles questioned the rest of us. As soon as I saw who it was I wasn't surprised. They were the only ones who could have possibly tripped Marinette. Alya, Lila, Adrien, and Chloe. I sighed in frustration and clenched my fist. They didn't do anything wrong. It was all freaking Lila's fault. But there she stood looking innocent and acting like she was worried about Marinette. "Luka Coffaine. It's your turn. Please come speak with me outside."  I promise Marinette, I'll make sure she gets what's coming to her.

Hey, Author here. So sorry for the late update I was working on my other story. Across the stars. I wanted to maybe step away from Miraculous with that story but I might just turn it into a Miraculous story. It depends on how it does I have ideas for what to do if it's a Miraculous story and what to do if it isn't. Haha, anyways enough boring talk. Sorry again for the late post, I'm already writing the next chapter as we speak. Thank you for reading. Bye, everyone. See you in the next chapter.
