A/N: So...I have seven books to finish reading by April 25th. I will most likely not have time to update for a little while, so I am aiming to upload all three chapters tonight to avoid having people wait on me for, like a month. Today was pretty good, and I'm in a writing mood. I've been working all day on the story I want to eventually get published for real, and that's exciting. It also helps that it's been a pretty good Tuesday. I listened to a presentation on depression in health, which really helped me feel a lot better, and then I got ice cream during math. So freaking awesome! But anyway, if I do not get all of the chapters uploaded today, they will be uploaded by the end of the week. That is a promise.

Chapter 7: The Heartbreaker

POV: 3rd

"So how did your date go the other day?" Nino asked Adrien, a wicked grin on his face. Adrien smiled back.

"It was amazing. You have no idea how much I was smiling after she left," Adrien told him.

"What did you two do?" Nino questioned further.

"Well, I invited her over-"

"What did your dad do?!"

"Nino, I told you a few days ago that my dad is out of town. I had the house to myself."

"Oh, right. Continue."

"Well, I made her dinner and invited her over. We sat and talked for hours." There was a slight blush to Adrien's cheeks as he said this. Thinking back to that night, he couldn't help but smile.

Sabrina walked over to where Chloe was sitting. "Well?" Chloe demanded.

"They're talking about a date that Adrien went on Saturday night," Sabrina answered.

"A date?" Chloe hissed, her eyes narrowing. She turned to look at Adrien. "With who?"

"I'm not sure," Sabrina said.

"Then go find out!" Chloe snapped, still looking at Adrien. Who could he possibly be dating? There is no girl prettier than me, Chloe thought to herself.

Alya walked into the classroom, spotted the two guys talking to each other, and walked over. "Adrien, how was your date?" she asked excitedly.

"It was amazing," Adrien answered. "Where's Marinette?"

"I don't know. She must be running late again," Alya said.

It didn't surprise Adrien. They had been up late fighting an akumatized villain yesterday, and Marinette must still be tired. He just couldn't tell Nino and Alya that. "Yeah, she's pretty tired," Adrien said. "Must've been up late doing homework."

"It's Marinette," Sabrina said to Chloe when she walked back over. Chloe's eyes snapped open, anger filling her.

"What could he possibly see in that nerd?" Chloe said through clenched teeth.

"What are you going to do?" Sabrina asked, watching Chloe carefully.

"Oh, you'll find out," Chloe said, getting to her feet. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked over to Adrien. "Oh, Adrien."

"Hey, Chloe," Adrien said politely.

"So what did you do over the weekend?" Chloe asked, staring at Adrien's lips.

"Oh, I went on an amaz-" Adrien started but was interrupted when Chloe shot forward and kissed him. He froze up, his heart stopping. All Alya and Nino could do was stare in complete shock.

"Are you sure the bell hasn't rung yet, Tikki?" Marinette asked the little red and black kwami as she walked towards class.

"I'm pretty sure," Tikki answered from Marinette's pink handbag.

"So helpful," Marinette sighed, smiling. Her smile immediately fell when she looked in the windows into her classroom. Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw that Adrien was busy kissing Chloe.

"Hey, I didn't hear a door open. What's going on?" Tikki asked softly.

She poked her head out curiously. Tears streaked Marinette's cheeks, and her hands clenched into weak fists. "Marinette, what's going on?" Tikki asked again.

"Chloe and Adrien are kissing," Marinette breathed. Tikki stared up at Marinette.

"Go and talk to him. This isn't like Adrien," Tikki said to her.

"You're right. But it is like Chloe," Marinette stated, gritting her teeth. "Get back in my bag, Tikki. I'm going in."

Tikki flew back into Marinette's purse as Marinette stormed into the classroom. Chloe immediately whipped away from Adrien. Adrien froze, having a very good feeling on who just walked in.

"Look who's actually on time to class today," Chloe sneered before going to her seat.

"Look who's being a total jerk like always," Marinette shot back, tears still streaking her cheeks. Chloe stopped before turning to look at Marinette.

"What did I do?" Chloe asked innocently.

Marinette growled under her breath. "You kissed me, that's what you did!" Adrien said, standing up for Marinette. "You knew Marinette and I were dating, and you kissed me anyway."

"I don't even see what you could possibly see in her," Chloe said, ending the conversation by striking up a new one with Sabrina. As Marinette took a step forward, Adrien put a firm hand on her shoulder.

"Don't. I know you can easily take her, but I don't want you to get in trouble, my Lady," Adrien whispered in her ear as he hugged her. Marinette sighed, burying her face in his chest. He kissed the top of her head softly before pulling away. He gave her a big smile when she looked up at him. She smiled back, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"I just can't believe she kissed you," Marinette muttered, her smile falling. The bell rang, and Marinette sighed, heading to her seat. She had her hands clenched tightly into fists, her eyes shut. She could feel the anger burning her up from the inside, and she tried her hardest to pay attention to the teacher. She just couldn't get the image out of her head - Chloe kissing Adrien, the one thing she wished would never happen. Chloe crossed a serious line with her this time.

Halfway through the class, she felt Tikki poke her leg. She jumped a bit, looking down at Tikki. "Stop," Tikki whispered. "Feeling jealousy and anger isn't a good idea, especially not like this."

"I'm fine," Marinette whispered back stiffly.

"I know you better," Tikki shot back. Marinette's eyes flashed over to Alya, who was too busy paying attention to the teacher to notice what was going on with Marinette.

"Alright. I'm trying," Marinette said under her breath, lightly shoving Tikki back into her purse. Marinette took a deep breath, trying to stop the anger. But the image came back again and again, and it almost brought her to tears. Her hands tightened into fists again. Calming down wasn't an option right now. Chloe needed to pay.
