Seven Minutes In Heaven ~ A Miraculous Fanfic

Chapter 2

Marinette

She sat down in her seat, not daring to glance at the blonde in front of her. They hadn't spoken in two days, and they both actively avoided each other. It hurt that Adrien was avoiding her, but in a way she was grateful for it. It meant that they wouldn't have to talk about it, and he wouldn't question why she was so passionate when she kissed him. Alya gently touched her shoulder, and Marinette fought not to shrug her hand off. This was all her fault. She knew Alya meant well, but she had gone too far this time. It seemed that Adrien's friendship with her was broken, all because of that stupid game. Marinette noticed he wouldn't look at her, even when they were standing in a group. That was fine, totally not heartbreaking at all. She kept playing the event over and over again in her mind, trying to figure out what went wrong. Maybe she had been too forceful? Or maybe she had done something during the kiss that had made him uncomfortable? Or what if she had kissed him wrong? She could never ask him, and even if she did she knew he would lie to protect her feelings.

"It'll be okay." Alya whispered, and Marinette wanted to roll her eyes.

That was easy for her to say. Rage flooded through her, and she decided it was time to give Alya a taste of her own medicine.

"Hey, during our lunch break do you want to play truth or dare?"

She made sure her voice was loud enough to be overheard, and she heard someone gasp behind her.

"Hell yeah. That sounds awesome." Kim whispered, and Marinette turned, giving him a sweet smile.

"Awesome, so we already have another player. Anyone else?"

Rose nodded, as well as Ivan and Myline. She turned to the front, forcing her words out.

"Nino? Adrien?"

She stared at Nino hard, trying not to look at Adrien.

"Uh... sure. Adrien?"

He glanced at his friend, and Marinette quickly looked away, looking for more recruits.

"Sabrina?"

She glanced at Chloe, waiting for a response. Chloe scoffed, and Sabrina immediately shook her head. Oh well.

"Max?"

He nodded, and Marinette turned back to Nino.

"Sure, why not?" Adrien mumbled, and knots formed in her stomach.

Him being there was dangerous, especially if Alya got mad at Marinette. The bell rang, and Mrs. Bustier nodded for everyone to go. She grabbed her bag, quickly getting up. Adrien stood up at the same time, and she slammed against his back. She muttered an apology, quickly steadying herself and walking around him. Alya was going to pay. She couldn't even look at Adrien without thinking of that kiss. And he wouldn't even look at her. The entire class except for Chloe and Sabrina ended up in the library, cluttered around the tables eating their lunch.

"Simple rules. Truth or dare. If you dont want to answer the question or do the dare, you have to strip and run from here to the cafeteria and back."

"I'll go first."

Kim stood up, looking around the room. Though, everyone knew who he would pick.

"Alix. Truth or dare?"

"Dare, obviously."

She stood, a challenging look in her eye. He tapped his chin, thinking for a moment.

"I dare you to ride down the railing from the second floor."

She walked up the stairs, glancing around the library to make sure no one but the group would see her. She climbed up on top of the banister, stepping over the edge. She slid down the railing, but her foot caught something. Her weight shifted, throwing her towards the stairs. Kim caught her, and quickly set her down. Marinette smiled softly at the blush covering Alix's cheeks, before Alix turned to her.
