Chapter 1
It was a normal Monday morning at school, as Marinette stood outside with her best friend Alya.

"I dont think I'll ever get through to Adrien. I can't even try to talk to him, let alone ask him out. God, Alya, what the hell am I gonna do?" Marinette asked.

Alya rolled her eyes ad sighed heavily. True, she loved Marinette to death and she was her best friend, but sometimes, she didnt get her. For years, Alya had watched Marinette endlessly persue Adrien, and then screw up completely trying to talk to him. It sometimes drove her nuts.

But someone suddenly entered school and passed by her. Alya looked over at Mari suddenly who had gone wide eyed. Alya waved her face in front of Marinette's.

"Hey Girl, are you alive? Why do you look like you've seen Adrien naked?" she asked.

Marinette couldn't speak ar first, but then she found her voice "What...is...he...doing here?" she asked, as she looked at the boy with Black hair which had blue streaks in it.

Alya suddenly recognized the boy "Ahhh thats right... Its Juleka's brother Luka. Mmmmm your crush from the Rock concert on the boat is back. The Statue to your compass." she teased.

Marinette shook her head and then furrowed her brow at her best friend "Alya, get real! I dont like Luka like that! My heart belongs to Adrien only!" she said, knowing deep down in her heart that ever yword she had just said was a lie.

Back at the Music festival, her and Luka had bonded on his mother's boat, and while she did love Adrien, the time she spent with Luka was magic. She loved how he sang to her and played his guitar to the tune of her emotions. Like he read into her soul.

"Again I'll ask... What is he doing here?" Marinette asked.

Alya shrugged "Maybe he's here for Juleka... Maybe he goes to school here now. What difference does it make? The point is...He's back." she said.

Marinette looked up as Luka suddenly gave her a smoldering glare, Luka's blue ocean-like eyes piercing her soul as he winked at her. Marinette got weak in the knees, partially glad Alya would be there to catch her of she fainted.

Just then, the school bell ringing brough Marinette out of her stupor, as did Alya grabbing her arm.

"Come on girl, We're gonna be late for class if we don't move." Alya said as she dragged Marinette into the school and down the hall to class.
