<Time skip>
School is finally finished and ugh. I have to do two essays. Wait... I don't have to do it. Somebody else can. Somebody I know can.

No it's not the newbies. Its Sussy, the book worm in our class. Pshhhh, who read normal books anyways and ENJOYS it. Well I did- not anymore though.

I can do the homework, but I don't wanna. Also, They will be less suspicious of me being the Paris's villain. I can pay her too.

'How do I get the money? PFFFT! I am a super villain, I can threaten and rob people. JK, JK. Now, Sussy is usually at the rooftop..'

I have a business. I sell my arts and crafts. Of course some of them are just duplicates. I can't just work all day. That's just straight up boring.

I was walking to the rooftop to get some fresh air and to search for her. She is always here reading novels. Ah! Sussy! I saw Sussy and approached her.

"Hey NERD!!!" I said to her while waving my hands. "W-what do you want..?" She said while stuttering in a low voice. Trying to act brave, I see. I see.

"Can you please do my essay? thx!" I said as I left my essay with her. I was about to leave but she pulled my skirt weakly. I turned around to listen to her. "I am sorry... I can't..." She responded with pauses in between, while shivering all over.

Usually at this time I would just laugh at her reaction and pay her or search another victim, but I saw a certain blonde head near the distance and I need to keep his image of him bad.

I pulled her collar and pull her up. I then throw her.

 "ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT OR NOT?" I screamed, please just go along with it. "yes.... please... don't hurt me." She said in between sobs.

I am so sorry.

"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER!?" I turned my back to saw him, Adrien. Why are you so late, you f#cker

"Are you blind? I am asking her to do my homework." I said and chuckled afterwards. "THAT'S LITERALLY BULLYING!!!" He said as he went to save the damsel in distress.

"So?" I asked nonchalantly and smirked. "You know.... I thought you were one of my best friends... I was so wrong." He said with anger in his face.

"Eh? Why?" I asked innocently.

"Because I am merciless? No. Is it because I am mean? NO. It's because I am POWERFUL." I answered myself as I laughed evily.

"Wh- What do you mean?..." He asked, a bit scared. "A person like you probably only had WEAK. MERCYFUL. AND EASY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE FROM friends." I said as I changed the topic, trying to make my image even worse and by the looks of it- it's working.

"You can talk about me. But DON'T INSULT MY FRIENDS!" He said full of anger and glared at me with distaste.

"PFFFT! What can YOU do?" I said as I pointed at him and laughed. "I can report this to the teacher. But I won't, if you apologize." He said softly, Giving me a chance, huh? How precious.

"I could just bribe them if you report it." I said in monotone with a smirk on my face.

<A moment of silence passed by>

"Speechless eh?" I said as I walked home. I left him at the rooftop, while I was walking I heard footsteps behind me following my every move.

It's probably him. Ensuring that I don't do anything. Oh! I saw Luka at the hallway infront of my class.

"LUKA! SAVEEE MEE!" I ran to Luka and hugged him. "I am being followed." I whispered to his ear.

"WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING HER? STALK- Adrien?.." He screamed and noticed his presence. He then looked at Adrien with shock and confusion.

"What the hell is happening?" He whispered back and glanced at me, confusion clear as crystal shown in his eyes. As I stopped hugging him. I glanced at him again, signing I also don't have f#ckin' clue.

"Luka.. Can we talk?" Adrien said softly. "Sure." Luka answered in a monotone voice. An awkward silence goes by.

"I mean ALONE" Adrien said while glaring at me with annoyance. I notice his glare as I answered.

"PFFT. Why would I leave him with you?" I gasped, "ARE YOU GAY?!" I asked dramatically.

"No I am straight. And if I am gay, you should respect it." He blurted out. (No offense to all gay lover nor hater. This is just a joke. I repeat, THIS IS JUST A JOKE)

"Pfft... Okay okay.. I was just joking." I said while walking away and stopped at 2 meters radius. I just put on my headset and silently draw while standing up leaning to the walls of my class.

• • • POV=> Luka • • •

What does he want? Why is he here anyways? He couldn't have known right?

"What do you want?" I said frustated. Seeing who did this to the Marinette I know. "Where is Marinette?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I act confused as I stare him. "Stop the act Luka. I know you know." He said as he grabbed my collar.

Anger rose. Why does he need to know? Marinette didn't do anything but only mess with him. WHILE HE LITERALLY BROKE HER. BROKE. That's two different things. Mess and Broke.

"Even if I know, I won't tell you. KILLER!" I said referring to Marinette's friends and parent.

"I didn't kill anyone. She did. NOW TELL ME!" He pushed me.

"Why would I? What will you do to her once you know? SHE IS RECOVERING NOW. But, She will still be scarred and traumatized. LEAVE ALREADY. You don't deserve her." I snapped.

I walked away to MY Marinette. I know she doesn't have a place in her heart for love. I know she doesn't love me as her Boyfriend. She thinks of me as a friend. But, I am at least her friend. And I intend being a good one.

"WAIT! Luka!" He said grabbing my sleeve and pulling me back.I stopped but didn't turn back. "What." I asked, annoyed. "We still need to talk." He said.

"There is nothing to talk about." I said as I continue to walk ot Marinette. "What did you guys talk about?" She asked curiously.

"I will tell you later." I said while I pat her head. I am not in the mood to talk. But her fluffy hair warmed my cold heart. As I reminince the first time I saw someone so broken in my life.

I saw a red and black blur and I ran to where she is running. For I saw a pained look in her eyes and I ended up in an abandoned street. I hid behind a wall and just observe her. She then detransformed. Marinette?

"Mom.. Dad. Please come back.... Its past curfew hics I have to go to school tomorrow. I don't want to be alone." She said between her many hiccups and sobs.

She kept crying and crying. She just sat curled herself and drown herself with tears. It burns my heart. It hurts seeing her like this.

"Hwaaaa..... Alya... Nino... I am sorry." She said that over and over or she will try to stop her tears and smile forcefully.

"S.." she hicupped, "Stop crying Marinette.. It's okay..." she said as she shushed herself while hiccuping and sobbing.

She takes deep breathes and smiled. While her tears is still flowing. She repeated:

"I am okay." "I am okay." "I am okay." "I am okay." She repeated over and over like a chant to stop her tears.

I can't stand seeing her like this. Bottling her anger, her tears. Her despair. I walked there and hugged her.

"L-Luka?... Ahh I am sorry, it's just allergy. No need to comfort me." she said denying everything I saw.

"I don't know what happened. But, I heard you cry. Don't bottle up your feelings. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be angry." I said trying to comfort the crying Marinette.

Her tears fell and she hugged me tight. Clutching my clothes. She kept crying and crying.

"Hwaaaaaa... I don't want to be alone. I'll be good. Please come back. It hurts.." She cried loudly, burying her face into my shoulder.

She then cried herself to sleep. Even in her sleep she keep talking and crying. "Sorry. sorry.." was her last words before literally crying herself to sleep.

After she woke up, she became better, she kept saying sorry to me. It felt like nothing changed, then we packed her stuff and we went to the police station to fake her ID.

Actually before she wakes up. I know that she will probably do this first, so I explained what I know to them with some lies, so they won't know she is ladybug.

Good thing they agreed.

She started her business. She then bought an apartment. And we ended up going to school together.

Now here I am her only friend that knows her secret. And here she is as my only love. I don't know why Adrien said she killed...
