Me and Luka continued to grow close despite the difference in schedule,
He always made sure to make as much time for me as he could although it was hard and I kinda feel bad about it

but... there is a lot of perks of having an older boyfriend

He tells all about the things he's done and learned
it's soo interesting hearing all about the experiences he's had volunteering at the animal shelter, shadowing veterinarians, working part time at a research lab
he buys me all the stuff I want and gives me all the advice I need. He really makes me a wiser and just overall better person

Sometimes I feel like he's too good for me... or should I say we're just very different, I guess?

I'm much less stable and mature than him

He's super good at math and science and I hate it nor am I good at it

I'm indecisive, he goes for what he wants

He loves reading novels and si-fi, I like cheesy rom-coms that he would only agree to watch with me because he loves me

He loves animals, especially dogs, it's all he talks about. I think he would die for one. I don't love them, and I don't think he would even be okay with that

He's a talented musician, and I'm just... I'm just not.

And somehow he still puts up me. It feels like I'm a weight on his shoulders sometimes

"Tomorrow is the last day to turn in the permission slips for the field trip" Ms. Bustier reminded.

"Oh my God Marinette! Aren't you so excited?? I can't believe we're gonna be in China in a few weeks." Alya exclaimed.

"That sounds fucking amazing. I heard it's beautiful around this time of the year, all the lotus flowers are blossoming."

"Yo, Marinette! Are you excited to be going back home?" Nino says coming in from behind.

Marinette just laughs, "I feel hella embarrassed I barely know Mandarin."

"i'm sure it'll be fine" Alay says, "maybe we could study a bit together to be prepared"

"Yeah, sounds fun."

"Bro it's gonna be soo cool. It's gonna be a seven day trip with our own rooms and everything. We're gonna travel from Beijing all the way down to Nanjing."

"Really?" Luka answers on the other side of the cellphone, "Beijing is a good one. Great place to see all the cultural sites. Very tropical to."

"Hold up- you've been to China?!"

"Yeah. I studied Mandarin for three years"

"Damn Luka, you're filled with surprises... you should totally chaperon it'll be a big help to us"

"I dunno"

"pretty pleaseee we never get to go places together"

"I mean.. I guess if I find time-"

"Yay! Love you lots bye"

"Ms. Lila, welcome" The brawny security said, unlocking the velvet rope.

"of course the rich kids just have to get first class on a damn school field trip" Alya says in the tight space, "and we're stuck in this lousy section"
