"Marinette! Did you forget about meeting up at the mall again?!" Alya screamed teasingly through the phone at me as I sat up in bed and looked at the clock.
Holy moly! It's already 10 am! I threw myself out of bed and ran into the bathroom, "I'LL BE THERE IN TEN MINUTES ALYA I SWEAR I'M SO, SO, SORRY! I GUESS MY ALARM DIDN'T GO OFF!" She laughed at me as I was running around the bathroom looking for my hairbrush and toothbrush. She hung up while laughing as I jumped into the shower.
The day after Christmas, I saw Luka, Juleka, Rose, and Alya walking around from house to house giving out thank you cards to the people who donated to Toys for Tots. We got to talking and decided to hang out before the New Year at the mall to get discounted Christmas goods. The one thing I couldn't have predicted was what would happen when I ran through the fancy, glass doors of the mall.
"I'm so sorry I'm late you guys! I didn't think I would sleep in that long..." I scratched the back of my neck and laughed nervously at the four of them. Juleka and Rose weren't really bothered by my late arrival seeing that they just laughed it off and continued talking. Looking back at Alya I could see she had her Cheshire cat grin on as she sighed and pulled me along.
I looked back and smiled at Luka as Alya started talking about where she wanted to go first, "It's alright Marinette, you're here now." Luka scratched his head and smiled awkwardly admitting, "I thought you'd feel weird about me tagging along so you decided not to show." He smiled at me earnestly and finished with, "I'm glad that wasn't the case."
I looked back at him blown away by his confession but then realized I was falling forward and hit the ground. Shaking my head, I looked behind me to see a potted plant and Luka stretching out his hand to me. "Th-thank you." I grabbed his hand and he, with no effort, pulled me to my feet and pushed the pot out of the way and we continued to walk.
I heard someone clearing their throat from beside me and looked over to see Alya nudging her head and pointing her eyesight to the space between Luka and me. Looking down I spotted our hands still linked and immediately flung my hand up and jumped away, "I-I'm so so so smorry! I mean slorry! I MEAN SORRY OH MY G-!" I looked over and straightened myself out from the embarrassing outburst. "Ahem. I meant to say that I didn't realize I was still holding your hand. L-let's go guys..." I took one last peek and his face to see a blush plastered onto his cheeks. He chuckled but then covered it with a cough and his knuckles.
What a sweet boy.
I looked back to Alya to cool my own blood down. We started talking about where to get our dresses for the New Year's party at Chloe's when I didn't hear Juleka or Rose talking anymore.
Turning around, the two of them were nowhere in sight; Only Luka standing a few feet away looking around the humongous building. "U-Uhm, Luka? Do you know where your sister and Rose went?"
He looked around and shrugged his shoulders. "Sometimes they're in their own little world." He chuckled and walked beside me, "they'll be fine, I'll text them to meet up with us in about an hour how's that?" I smiled and looked at Alya.
"Sounds good, now let's go find those dresses before they're all gone, girl!" Alya dragged me along with Luka following nonchalantly behind.
I whispered to Alya, "What about Luka?" She looked at me confused and started to laugh.
"What about him? He can help us pick some out for you! Plus," she got really close and whispered, "I think he likes you girl! This is a perfect chance for you to get back out there after that falling out with Adrien!"
She pulled me along all the way to a fancy dress store while evilly laughing out loud making me and everyone else around us suspicious.
Jeez, Alya! I don't want to get involved with boys anymore, they've been nothing but trouble for me lately!
I look over to Luka as he walks into the dress shop not giving the girls drooling over him the time of day until he makes eye contact with me and flashes his million dollar smile. "Maybe..."
"What'd you say, Mari?" Alya peeks through a rack of dresses and eyes me.
"U-uhm maybe blue for the party?"
What am I doing?!
