How Can Love Survive

Ever since the hickey issue on Wednesday, Thursday came along and Marinette had to put a bandage on her neck because she didn't want anyone to question it. Luka came around here and there hanging out at the school when basketball practice occurred.

"What happened to your neck?" Asked Deb.

"Nothing happened..." Mari looked down at her paper, checking all the supplies needed. She hadn't heard much about her mom lately which made her less tense.

"Also, Ben and Mei are together. I wonder if they did it..." Nana trailed off.

"Nah, Mei is too innocent and Ben is just awkward." Nicky leaned on the wall. "Why does break today seem dull?"

"Because half of class C7 is in Asia because of their parents and stuff." Nana sat down, taking off her jacket.

"But Mari what actually happened?" Deb brought back up the topic not yet satisfied.

"Like I told you, nothing happened—"

"Hey!" Luka called out, walking towards them. He sat down next to her, wrapping an arm around her, taking the paper.

"Sir can you not?"

"Hm, manager of the basketball team. I just ditched school because junior year is just boring right now. Oh also..." He took something out of his backpack and it was Hao's jersey. "I came by yesterday to pick up my sister and found this."

She snatched it out of his hands, stuffing it in her bag. Also the papers. "Thanks."

"Wait...are you and Hao?" Asked Nicky with an excited tone behind her words.

"NO, NO, NO HE WAS NOT THE ONE WHO GAVE ME A HICKEY!" She let it slip.

"WAIT THEN IT HAS TO BE LUKA!" Nana called out with a fan girl vibe.

"NO."

"THEN WHO IS IT?!" Deb asked, shaking her.

"GIRL LET GO!"

"This is fun." Luka smiled.

"Ya'll are annoying and why are you here Luka?" Mari spoke in a hushed tone.

"Oh right. I need to talk to you." He stood up while she started to follow.

"Have fun." Teased Nana.

They went outside of the school. "So what is it?" She asked.

"I have always wondered. Why are you manager?"

"Just because it's a hobby."

"Or is it Hao or Adrien?"

"No, it's really none of them. Including, why are you hanging around the school now?"

"I don't know. Probably because it's you, but do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, why are you asking me that?"

"Probably because I am confessing."

"Listen, you're not my type at all and for one I am glad that we broke up. Honestly we are not meant for each other."

"You know I cannot let that go."

"You drunk or something?" She hissed. He chuckled, swiftly pinning her to the wall behind her. His arm was above her head as his hand rested underneath her chin. He smiled at her and she realized that he changed. Everyone who she knew back in freshmen year or eighth grade changed. His hair was more dark blue, his earrings were now small hoops and he chose loose fitting clothing.

"You've changed Cheng sempai." His hand moved up to her bandage and slowly ripped it off seeing a hickey spot. "You're not innocent."

She breathed hard and felt his breath on her face. Slowly he moved his hand to her shirt, unbuttoning it. Some part of her wanted to shove him away, but she was frozen. Suddenly someone pulled him away from behind and there showed Hao. "Get away from her."

"Oi, oi well it isn't the hero of the sophomore basketball team." Mocked Luka.

"Don't start with me blueberry!" He yelled, walking over to her, grabbing her by the wrist pulling her away.

"Chill, would you? We were just having fun."

"YOU CALL THAT FUN?!"

"Anger issues."

Then someone pulled her away from Hao's grasp and it was Adrien. "Don't touch her. She's mine."

"Since when was she yours?!" Hao hissed.

"I marked her," he pointed at the mark, "see?"

"She doesn't like you touching her." Luka pointed out.

"She doesn't like you touching her too Luka." Hao growled.

"I touch her because I just confessed to Cheng Sempai."

Both of their eyes shot open in a sense of anger. "Well, Hao...are your feelings still the same? If not, only two play the game." Adrien asked.

"No, my feelings are not the same for Marinette. They have only grown to be stronger. I love her like crazy." The truth was out and he confessed.

"Prig." Mumbled Adrien.

Meanwhile Mari's little brain was having a literal seizure. WHAT?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT?! THEY ALL LIKE ME AND I CANNOT CHOSE!

"I...have to go..." She trailed off trying to escape the rage of jealousy.

"Yeah, we have to go." Adrien dragged her off back to the school. He went inside the locker rooms, closing the door behind them.

She ripped her hand away from his grasp lashing out at him. "WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Just claiming property. So tell me the truth," he pinned her to the wall. "Do you like any of them?"

"Why do you need to know?!"

"I guess I have to refresh your mind." He leaned in and kissed her on the lips, pulling away. "Now tell me."

"I don't know. I'm really not sure. So can you....GET OFF ME?!" She shoved him away in a blast of furry.

"You have mixed feelings, just reject me when you can. See yah senpai."
