Marinette's POV:

"We have some bad news Marinette.." says Rose

"It's about college, isn't it?" I say

"It's about-" Alix starts

"Wait how did you know?" She asks

"College starts in a few weeks, which means most of you guys are gonna leave me pretty soon, if not all of you." I say

"We're sorry Marinette." Lila says

"Now, don't you guys dare start apologizing to me." I say

"You guys need to live your lives. Stop worrying about me all the time." I say

"Well.. Are you sure?" Mylene asks

"Absolutely sure." I say

"Look girls, all things considered.. I have a good life. I do. It may not always be the best or ideal, but it is still good even if it's not great." I say

"I think Rose infected you with too.much positivity." Says Alix.

"No, I always think out like this. And honestly. Life. It can always be worse. But all things considered, I still have a good life." I say

"And I get to work with my parents." I say with a smile

"Marinette.. Max and I are gonna try working together to see if we can find anything to prove some of your innocence." Says Alya

"You shouldn't bother at this point Alya. It's been 5 years since it started. And I figured if I lay low and out of Chloe's sight, she'll forget about me and the dust will finally settle." I say

"I'm sorry, but that's really stupid." Alix says

"I think it's what's best at this point." I say

"Well.. We are your friends, so whatever you decide, we'll stick with you." Juleka promises.

"Thanks girls." I say with a smile on my face.

Adrien's POV:

Yay. Visiting Chloe.. Just living the dream here.

"Adrikins!! I'm so happy you came to see me!" Chloe says

"Yeah.." I say

"We should go on a date or something." She says

"Chloe.. maybe some other day. I am pretty tired today." I say

"Sure Adrikins! Or better yet, we can have a private date up here." She says

Oh brother.. how do I get out of that.

"Chloe.. I think I'm gonna take a nap." I say

"Okay, I'll be right here." She says

I feel a little uncomfortable when she sits really close to me when I lay down to take a nap on the couch.

Maybe I should sleep with one eye open at this point.

Oh what difference does it even make. Because honestly I do the same thing at my own house every night for the last 6 almost 7 years now.

Ever since I had the first freedom in my life time since my mother died with Luka and Kagami, I want some more freedom.

Bit of course I'm not dumb enough to say that outloud.

Not dumb enough to try and break up with Chloe.

But maybe I'm reckless enough to try something else.

But what would I do?

There's not much I can do in secret to begin with.
