A/N: This is a sneak peek into the story, the extract's from Chapter 11, you will get to know the title when I actually publish it.
This was published on Wattpad as a 100 reads special on November 8, 2019 and I am publishing it here so as to give you an idea of what this story is going to be like in the future. It won't be easygoing and will have some angsty chapters and there's gonna be heartbreak and stuff too. So, prepare yourselves. I promise that I won't be too harsh.
And remember what I said in Chapter 3, (reply to C4wolf) that the book will have really fast updates after Chapter 7, well, it turns out that even after that chapter, I found out that I need to change a few things some other later chapters too as I reread the book yesterday, so yeah, all I am trying to say is some chapters might take time while the other times you can totally expect a double update.
Without any further delays,
Here we go! ; )
{And yes, everything is not what it seems...}
SNEAK PEEK
(SPECIAL)
Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.
The words were more than true for Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She was curled up into a ball on her chaise. Her beautiful bluebell eyes were now red and puffy from all the crying. The tears refused to cease.
It had been 48 hours 12 minutes 26 seconds since her heart was ripped into pieces.
27 seconds... 28 now...
The bluenette refused to go to school. Her parents had offered help but she had declined. She refused to see anyone. Especially him.
"Why do I even try, Tikki? Why did I fall in love? Why did I even confess?" She managed to say between sobs.
Tikki herself was pained at her chosen's condition. Only she knew the real truth. And Plagg.
Tikki flew to her face. "Marinette, please don't cry. Everything will be fine. Everything happens for a reason. Love is a beautiful thing, you'll realise it soon enough. Stop wasting your tears."
"YOU THINK THIS IS EASY, TIKKI? YOU DON'T EVEN REALISE HOW PAINFUL IT IS. YOU'RE A KWAMI, NOT A HEARTBROKEN TEENAGER!" Marinette snapped. Her cheerful voice was replaced by a cold and harsh voice.
"Marinette, I do realise, but you can't go on like this. You need to move on. Stop torturing yourself. Remember what Alya said."
Alya's words rang into her mind.
'Stop your suffering.'
Marinette got up and went to the sink. She saw her reflection in mirror. Indeed, she was a mess. She took a deep breath and went to take a shower.
Marinette unlocked her phone after her relaxing shower. She had to talk to someone. But, who?
She went through her contacts and found the perfect person.
She started texting.
[Me] : Hey! Are you free? Do you mind if I come over? I have to talk to you.
[Me] : Actually I desperately need to talk to someone and I thought about you... Hope you don't mind...
She waited.
[Ding]
She opened her texts.
[L_C] : Sure, why not? And no, I won't mind. I like your company.
She smiled a sad smile at the familiar words.
I like your company.
Someone else had said that too but, it didn't matter anymore.
The blue-black haired boy was practising on his guitar when his phone dinged. He was surprised to find it was Marinette.
She needed to talk to him?
[Me] : Sure, why not? And no, I won't mind. I like your company.
He put down his phone and prepared for his visitor.
"Is everything okay, Marinette?"
"Y-yeah everything is f-fine. Why would you t-think otherwise, Luka?"
Luka looked at Marinette carefully as if he was inspecting her.
"I know that something's wrong Marinette. Your beautiful bluebell eyes are dull and lifeless, your bright and cheerful smile is nowhere to be seen. What's going on?" Luka put a hand on her shoulder.
Marinette looked at the blue-eyed boy.
I can trust him, right?
He did confess to her. He called her an extraordinary girl. He told her that she was the melody that had been playing in his head ever since they met.
She could count on him. Tears welled up her eyes. "I c-confe confessed t-to the g-guy I l-like no liked a-and he b-broke m-my heart. He d-didn't like me back." She tore up.
Luka looked at the girl he loved.
How could anyone not like her?
"Shh... calm down Marinette. If he doesn't like you for you then he is a jerk and doesn't deserve you."
Marinette wanted to retort. She wanted to defend her love for her guy, but Alya's advice came back to her mind.
'Stop your suffering.'
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Luka, I am not here to cry over him."
The boy tilted his head in confusion.
"I am here to make things right."
'Instead of pining after impossible love and crying over the mistakes of past, learn from those mistakes.'
"I want your help, Luka."
"Marinette what're you-"
Marinette cut him off. "I want to start a new chapter in my life."
'Focus on what's in front of you.'
"Will you help me?" Marinette looked at Luka expectantly.
The boy nodded.
Marinette took another deep breath. "Luka Couffaine, will you go out with me?"
'But, most importantly, get over him...'
A/N: Okay, da f* just happened?
Why did Mari ask out Luka?
What happened to Adrien?
Did she get her heart broken when she confessed her feelings for him?
And, where is Cat Noir?
Did something happen to him?
I guess you'll have to keep reading to find out. Have patience and wait.
As they say, "One who is burning with impatience can never eat hot porridge."
Get it? It's a 'Princess Fragrance' reference.
Me: I miss you Master Fu...
May God ble-
Master Fu: I have lost my memories, not LIFE.
Me: He he... Sorry. But, hey! Buckle up for chapter 5.
Peace,
I am out!
