Chapter 9: Pure Rage and Misty green eyes

✕♛✕♕✕✕♛✕♕✕

The past few days haven't been bad, sure a few threats here and there but nothing serious has been happening. Well, besides Adrien getting real close to me, Nothing new. I explained to Alya what had happen a few nights ago and how we just became friends over night, literally.

Today had gone by in a blur, the only things I payed attention to was homework and when it's due. I'm not necessarily someone who procrastinates a lot but I still do it. I hauled my bag over my shoulder and pushed my way through the crowds of students.

My hands shift through my bag frantically looking for my dorm key, I hope I didn't forget it. In the Principals exact word he said, 'Lose your key you lose your dorm'. Adrien hasn't been at school since the little incident, whenever he's here it's usually late at night, at that time I'm to lazy to even comprehend what is going on. Another person I haven't seen in a while is Chloe, thankfully.

I groaned in annoyance and pulled my phone out, scrolling through my contacts to find Adrien's Name. The phone started calling his number, 'Hey this is your favourite model, I'm not here right now so leave message after the beep and I'll call you back' that dialogue was soon followed by a beep. The feelings of  Frustration and annoyance filled through me from head to toe after the tenth call I had made. I accepted defeat and slumped against the door.

I picked up a pencil and opened my books, this can occupy my thoughts away from killing Adrien when I see him.

Hours passed like minutes, homework wasn't that hard I mean nor was it easy, but it was easy enough for me to finish it in less than 3 hours. I finish up the last question, placing the paper into the book and closing the book, my attention went to my phone when I heard a buzz. Eagerly I pick it up and check who it is, 'New News! It is Said that Gabriel Agreste and the..'

I sighed, my gaze went to the time, 6:23. At this point I had given up, I packed up my things and made my way to Alya's Dorm. I knocked on the door, nothing, knocked again. Nothing.

I knocked one more time, Nada. Just like sound, my fist came into contact with the door, I whimper in pain. I could feel immense pain coming from my knuckles, What was I thinking? A girl who hasn't been to the gym this year punching a wooden door.

"Alya you better open this door! I don't give a damn what the hell your doing!" I yell, "Alya!"

Silence.

I sighed, where the Hell could she be? Even if she was somewhere Nino could have opened up. It started getting late, it was already 7. I knocked on the door one more time to satisfy my small ray of hope,  it gre larger as I heard the door open. White light shining from the little crack, I heard a familiar yawn. "Yeah?" The voice said sleepily.

Before I knew it my other fist came in contact to the closest cheek, knocking him out of the way. "Adrien?! What the hell! Why weren't you picking up?!" I yell, I didn't care if I'm going to get complaints, I mean I get them all the time.

He rubbed his cheek and looked at me, his face morphed into his signature smirk."Didn't know my princess needed me so much" "I need your dorm key more than you, where's Alya?!" I raised my voice again, he squeezed his eyes shut trying to block out my screaming.

"One, I misplaced my key, two she went out with Nino and three I have something to tell you." His voice grew more serious as he got to the last part of his sentence. Adrien got up, and walked towards me in just one stride, I was now used to him being so close to me, it was just the things he did to me when he was this close scared me. I took one step back, I was under the door frame.

I picked up my phone, dialling her number. "Yeah girl-" "Where the hell are you!? I know you took my fucking key to make your point of Adrien and I! Tell me where the fucking key is and I will talk to you tomorrow and not fucking kill you!" I threaten through the phone.

She bursts into laughter, it's a guilty laughter. I know because I've heard it many times when I call her out, "I did steal your keys but I forgot where I put them Mari," I could feel my blood boil in madness, I move the phone away from my ear. I glare at Adrien, Who looked more afraid than serious. "Hold it" I threaten as I hold my phone tighter.

He gladly took it, I shoved past him into her dorm. Ripping the place apart, I could hear Adrien saying something about FaceTime. I pulled her bed drawer quicker than Lightning, almost breaking it.

A book with white fading into Orange lining and a fox sitting, it's head looking up the lock where the image of a fox inspired necklace around it. I pick it up and throw it onto her bed, I open my bag and took out a bracelet, a friendship bracelet.

Alya and I have been friends since year 1, I helped her stood up to Chloe. Back then we got diaries together, we don't use them now but we keep important things inside, since there's a little compartment for it. Hers was a fox and Mine was a ladybug, we got different keys that matched the diary. In total we got two keys each, we decided to make the, into little bracelets and put the key as the main charm.

I fiddled with the bracelet to find a fox key, it was painted in gold and it was a normal key with a orange gem at the bottom of the key and a fox sitting against the key as if it were a tree of some sort, while it's tail twisted around it. I shove the key into the lock and twist it. Earning a click, the book bounced, signalling it was open, I shove it open and flip to the very back.

Another lock, I repeated the same process but this time a little flap opened up. It revealed a few gems and a copy of the necklace, along with two familiar keys. I sigh in relief and pick the two keys up, soon closing the flap and locking the book up and putting it back into the drawer.

I heard protests soon followed by a motorcycle starting up, she said goodbye bitterly and hung up. I flopped onto her bed, her scent filling my nose. Like the sweet smell of Vanilla, a wave of realisation hit me as I faced Adrien, he looked at me with a sweet smile.

I give him a crooked smile before sitting up, "Marinette I need to tell you something" I made a hum in response, I didn't necessarily paid attention to Adrien but more of Alya's side of the room, a voice broke my trance, it was less cheeky and more dead serious, "Please this is serious."

I look back at him, his eyes look at me. No happiness in sight, we stare at each other for a while, his eyes start beaming with hatred and hurt. The look that scarred me for years, to this day it still does. He sighs, breaking the eye contact, "..Adrien?" I say in a soft tone. "I-" his sentence was cut off by a default ringtone, his eyes change into something else..fear?

He answer the phone and puts it next to his ear, keeping a solemn face. Adrien picks up his things and makes his way to the door, he looks back at me with sympathetic eyes. His green forest eyes were clouded in mist, the emerald eyes were dulled, I noticed his eyes lighten up.

Adrien whispered something, it was so faint I could barely hear it. I couldn't read his lips, they had barely moved when he whispered it. He smiled before walking out closing the door.

From what I could hear, I think he said;

'Your so beautiful..'

The thought of it made my heart skip a beat, I closed my eyes. His misty green eyes pop up in my head, I didn't fight the feeling, I didn't want too. I left the image be and let the darkness take me away into a sleepy abyss.
