"Hey..." Marinette trailed off.

"Hey " Chloe replied, she was wondering how Marinette got her number, but then again Nathaniel had her number so that's probably who she got it from.

"I um... Was like, um uh... Wondering if you wanted to, um... Go to -" Marinette was then interrupted by Chloe, she laughed at Marinette.

"It's funny how your trying to ask me out, no wonder you weren't able to ask out Adrien. " Chloe said controling her laughter. 

"I'm not asking you out, I was just wondering if you have our math class notes and where the hell do you want to meet up?" Marinette questioned in an angrier tone.

"Oooooh,  I would like to meet up in hell. " Chloe replied smirking.

"Ugh! Why is everything so hard with you!?" Marinette questioned.

"Because when I'm around you I get hard " Chloe said smugly.

"W-What!? " Marinette questioned as Chloe laughed.

"Y-You r-r-really t-t-hink I h-have a d-dick? " she replied between the laughs.

"Well you said you get hard,  so what am I supposed to think? Oh yeah Chloe is totally kidding when you said it so seriously. " Marinette said.

"Well do you think I have one?" Chloe asked

"No.... " Marinette trailed off.

" I do " Chloe said smiling smugly as Marinette's eyes widened over the phone "it's fake" she added.

"Oh course you would own a fake dick, like everyone has one" Marinette said sarcastically.

"Really you have one!? " Chloe asked excitedly, not sensing the sarcasm at all. "Enlighten me about it, not-so-innocent- Mari"

"Pervert. That was sarcasm, haven't you leant it in English class?" Marinette questioned.

"Oh Mari, I don't listen during class. I don't have the maths notes by the way." Chloe replied "but I can give you a health lesson any time" she added.

"Great I know who exactly never to call if I want school notes, thanks Chloe for your help " Marinette said.

"So are you still up for that health lesson? I'll be in my nurses outfit"  Chloe informed.

"Oh my God, stop." Marinette replied, as she could imagine Chloe in that nurses outfit.

"Why? I know you want me " Chloe said smirking, as Marinette hung up  and three her phone onto her bed.

Beep, beep, beep. Chloe heard the the line had been disconnected, but she had Marinette 's number. She called her up again,  knowing that Marinette would probably answer.

Marinette just stared at her vibrating lit up phone, she wasn't gonna answer that call. In fact she rejected it and called up Nino.

"Yo!  Mari!  How did it go?" Nino asked.

"She told me that she would like to meet up in hell." Marinette replied, then laying herself down onto the bed.

"Damn ' well she's quite quick to let you know what she wants " Nino commented,  "where are you two meeting up and when? " he asked.

"Well after she said she wanted to give me a health lesson,  I'm not meeting up with her anywhere " Marinette replied, as Nathaniel downstairs who was playing ultimate mega strike three on her computer overheard everything.

He thought it would be best to call up Chloe and tell her that Marinette didn't roll like that, for a fact when he dated her she was nothing like this. She was broken inside and depressed,  he was the only person she told about her mother and Nathaniel did the best he could to comfort her.

Obviously,  Nathaniel was over her. He didn't really have a crush on anyone at the moment , but he thought that Adrien was really hot. Of course he didn't really tell anyone except for Nino and he definitely didn't tell Marinette,  she would literally kill him.

Nathaniel was about to reach for his phone when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he looked up to see Marinette with her jaw dropped.

"Were you here the whole time?" She questioned as Nathaniel shook his head. Marinette glared at him "be honest, Nath. I won't kill you. "

"Okay... Well since the start, I guess " Nathaniel replied.

"Oh my God " Marinette said as she face palmed.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone " Nathaniel reassured, as he got the best idea to cheer up Marinette after all this drama has been going on. "Wanna go out for milkshakes at Berry's fine diner? " he asked.

"Yes! "

"Mari, just pick up your goddamn ' phone! " Chloe shouted annoyed for  the hundredth time, she laid herself back onto her bed hanging up on the voicemail.

Chloe then heard a knock on her room door, she rolled her eyes and got out of the bed. She opened the door and questioned "what do you want?"

There she saw Adrien, " nice way to greet the people who come to your house. I'm very well, thanks for asking."

"I thought you were my Butler." Chloe replied.

"No wonder he left his job " Adrien commented .

"You've gotta be kidding me, everybody loves me! " Chloe said as Adrien rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah." Adrien replied sarcasticly.

"So why are you here?" Chloe asked.

"I want to talk to you," Adrien said "about Marinette" he said more sternly, as Chloe side stepped for him to come in.

"What about her?" Chloe questioned.

"You know how I said I don't trust you to be with Mari, I'm saying this clear. Stop dreaming that you and her will ever be in a relationship, it won't happen Chloe." Adrien replied.

Marinette followed Adrien up to Chloe 's room in her father's hotel and just as she was about to knock she heard Chloe's voice.

"I think you need to stop dreaming, Mari doesn't like you like that anymore and if your now realizing you feelings, bad luck cause I know she likes me and even if she doesn't I'll make her " Chloe stated. That's when Marinette's eyes widened, Adrien had feelings for her? 

"Chloe, Marinette isn't stupid, she'll know that your a bad choice. " Adrien replied.

"How am I a bad choice? What have I ever done?" Chloe questioned.

"Do you even remember when you used to bully her?" Adrien asked in reply.

Chloe gulped, it was true. But she didn't mean any of it,  she just needed to vent her anger and frustration out and she chose Marinette especially out of all her classmates.

Marinette on the other hand was waiting for an answer, her ear was pressed firmly against the padding of the door. Chloe opened her bedroom door, as Marinette fell into Chloe's arms as she at the same time was leaning on the door.

"What a coincidence, your here to" Chloe said sarcastically, it was no coincidence they were always together.

"Mari, what the hell are you doing here? I told you I'm handling this alone. " Adrien stated as Marinette got back up onto her two feet.

"You two we're setting me up, yeah? " Chloe asked as she looked between the two, as the two looked at her confused. "Your together, right? " she added. Chloe didn't wait for an answer, she ran straight passed them and down the fire exit stairs and out into the street.

"Chloe!  Wait!" Marinette shouted, as she was just about to catch up to her. Chloe didn't, she kept running tears streamed down her face. She then turned into a dark alleyway, now she didn't even know where she was even going, Marinette followed as Chloe stopped running and looked back.

"Don't you have your boyfriend to go after?" Chloe questioned.

"Adrien isn't my boyfriend." Marinette stated.

" he likes you back now so go." Chloe replied as hot tears ran down her face, she hated to say that. She wanted Marinette and Marinette was standing right there wanting to be her's, but that couldn't be the case she probably just felt sorry.

"I'm not going anywhere. " Marinette said as Chloe couldn't take it anymore, she didn't want Marinette to stay here and see her break down into tears. With the last piece of strength she had, Chloe raised her hand and gave Marinette a hard blow onto her cheek.

Marinette stumbled backwards as she caught her cheek, tears slipped down like a river onto her face. "Now could you go?" Chloe asked as Marinette gulped and cried harder because of the pain.

Old Chloe was back, Marinette thought to herself.  "Why the fuck are you standing here!?" Chloe shouted at her. "I lied,  I never even liked you that way. Just look at you thinking that all this was true, I still hate you Mari. I know and I will for life. " she continued.

Chloe wished that she could've taken all those words back and that moment where she punched her back,  she was sick and tried of all this. She was sick and tired of her actions taking over her thoughts and becoming so mean to people. What would her mom think of her?

Marinette walked away from her down the alley somewhere, she needed to call up someone to pick her up. The number on person she didn't want to hear from was Adrien, she took out her phone and dialed Nino's number.

"H-Hey " Marinette greeted as pain shot up her cheek.

"Yo!  Mari, what's up?" He asked as he noticed her voice quite croaky.

"Can you pick me up? I'm on Akio road " she replied as she looked up on the street sign. Her sobs became a bit louder, as she became in more pain every time she talked.

"I'm on my way. "
