No take-backs

Weird.

M: Hey Adrien! Oh.. and Luka?
L: Hey Marinette!
A: Hi...
L: Uhh.. Adrien are you okay?
.......
It's been a week since I started going to school. Me and Adrien are hanging out every day after school. Mostly to help him confess his love to Marinette. He insists that his feelings are for someone else. But I don't believe him. Up until I tried to listen for his rhythm, his melody. His sound is very calming, but also very twitchy, like he's on high alert. And I try to listen to this energy he emits, but I always stop at the same melody, there's something about it that makes me feel.. I mean- no... I mean that it feels wrong. "Luka? Are you okay?"
......
I flinch, which is weird because I never flinch. And yet I did it twice, both times because of Adrien. "Sorry, you caught me off guard." He giggles softly. The light shines off his porcelain skin. I can see why Marinette is so into him. And not.. me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startled you." He smiles. "No, it's fine." I sigh. I try to find that melody again, but for some reason Adrien is harder to read than Marinette. "Hmm.. your melody, it's weird... when I first met you, it was way different. But now.." I open my eyes to look at him. He looks terrified. "Adrien?" I see him stiffen up as he smiles nervously. "Haha.. sorry.. that's just um.. weird.. huh?"
.......
For the rest of the day, we sat there. Adrien gradually scooted away from me as the time went by, hoping I didn't notice. But I did. He sat there, listening to my struggles of finding his sound. And, deep down, I felt like I tried so hard NOT to find his sound. No. What am I saying? Why would I want to make Adrien feel bad? I don't know. Why is he so hard to read? I tried to tune my guitar several times, it didn't work. I tried to read his expressions. It didn't work, his movements, his heart beat.. nothing. Nothing worked. I'm so dumbfounded. How did this work with Marinette, was she just more open about herself? No.. I don't know!
......
Juleka basically dragged me out of my room this morning. Complaining about how mopey I was. "You looked like you just got dumped by your ex girlfriend or something." "What?" I chuckle. Did I really look THAT upset? "Cmon, you and me are going to go get ice cream with rose- I- I mean my girl friends." "Aren't they both correct?" "Ah- okay." "OW!" She stomps on my leg. I laugh so much tears come out of my eyes, or is it because of my foot..? Doesn't matter. Juleka was mumbling cruel words to me the whole way to Andre's Ice cream. She basically had smoke coming out of her ears. In the distance. I did it fact see Julekas "girlfriends". Mylene, Marinette, Rose, Alya and even Alix. Along with Max, Ivan and Nino, who seems to be texting someone. Adrien maybe? Wait. Why do I care?
......
I hang out next to Juleka, my headphones over my ears as I try again to listen to Adrien's tune. I see Nino, who is on the phone with someone. I know it's wrong, but I take lift my headphones slightly, trying to hear who it is. "Dude! You should totally come. Yeah, I know you dad's not chill like that, but everyone's here! Alya, Mylene, Ivan, Max, Marinette, Luka-" I hear Nino's phone click, like if Adrien hung up. "Dude? Duude??" "So? Nino?" Alya says, her hand on her hip. "Either Adrien is coming.. or.." "or..?" "His Dude- I mean dad, is tearing him to shreds for not practicing his abc's in his baby piano or whatever it was called." My eyes widen, Adrien is coming? And only after he heard Marinette's name. Why does he deny it so much?
.......
I watch as a black car pulls up. Adrien steps out looking like a model on a magazine, mostly because he IS. His navy blue beret completing his blue belt and shoes. His pearly white shirt tucked in nicely to his denim wide leg jeans. His earrings match the cold on his belt. And his necklace perfectly sits on his shoulders like a cherry on top. Wait. Why am I checking him out? Is it because I want to know why Marinette is also staring so intently at him? That's probably why. I see Adrien look at me and I flinch. I notice how my eyes are looking at him up and down.
.......
This is embarrassing. I look away quickly, hoping he didn't notice. "Dude, why are you so red?" My eyes widen and I look back to Adrien, who's now facing away from everyone. His ears and neck have a pink tint to them. "I-it's just- I-I'm just really hot from the sun. Y-yknow?" "Hmm.. yeah, I get it dude, I should've worn shorts today. And why are you dressed so nicely? Is it to impress someone~~" Marinette probably.. "I.. I just uhm.. came back from a photoshoot! Yeah!" Wow, he's an awful liar. Just like Marinette. I guess it's true when they say soulmates are a lot alike. It's so weird isn't it?
