KAGAMI
Don't ask me why I did it.

I had to. Something was so right about it.

Her lips felt so soft against mine. My hand crept up her cheek as our mouths moved together as one. Her body moved closer to mine- she was practically in my lap.

As I put my hands on her waist, she quickly parts her face away from mine and covers her mouth.

"I... I can't do this," she whispers.

She immediately gets up from her spot and starts stepping down from the ladder.

"Marinette, wait!" I yell to her.

I jump up and go down the ladder, but as soon as I get down, Marinette is nowhere to be seen.

Tempted to call out her name, I walk away from my house to see if I can find her.

Nothing.

A tug pulls at my heart, tears threatening to spill.

I clear my throat and start my small walk back to my house.

-:-

I anxiously sit in my mothers car, watching all the kids walk to school.

I wish she let me do that.

"Kagami, don't forget about your fencing tonight," my mother speaks in monotone.

I ignore her, but then it hits me.

I lied to her about fencing on Wednesdays. I told her that so I could train Marinette.

Wednesday is today.

The car stops at the front of the familiar school. I take a deep breath, extremely nervous about seeing her.

Exiting the vehicle, I walk into the school and head straight to my locker. To my suprise, Marinette stands not at her own, but at Adrien's locker.

A twinge of jealousy takes over me as she tucks her hair behind her ear while laughing with Adrien.

I clench my cheek, trying to ignore it while I unpack my bag into my locker.

I speed walk to class, attempting to clear my mind of Marinette.

I walk into Biology 30 and see an empty spot at the back of the class.

Sitting on the cold wood, I just stare out into space.

My head goes through all of the events of last night and before class.

How could she not even look at me?

I turn my head to the front and see Adrien sit down beside Nino, but still no Marinette.

Staring at the front door, waiting for her to enter, she finally does.

My stomach turns at the sight of her.

Please just look at me.

She keeps her head down as she takes her seat next to Alya.

Marinette whispers to Alya, and Alya turns back to look at me.

I feel my face turning red as she gives me a look of sincerity.

I bite my lip as I watch her and Marinette talk to each other.

Wow.
