KAGAMI
I truly had no idea she had loved me for so long. Why would she be with Adrien if she had loved me then?

I felt so confused but so happy. Of course I was upset with the whole Adrien situation, It never had occurred to me as why he was homophobic. Even if he was terribly angry with me, I know he would never have gone that far. Calling me a slur and being disrespectful was a huge betrayal both Marinette and I had to feel.

But at least I had her back.

After a couple months, I begged my mother to let me back into school. She agreed only because it would be easier for me to receive a diploma.

Marinette had been catching me back up on all of the lost school work but I got it down pat in no time.

"Alright class, we are nearing the end of the semester, and we all know what that means!" Ms. Bustier smiles.

"Finals," the class mumbles. I turn my head around to see everyone groaning and complaining. I actually quite liked exams. It helps me remember what I've learned.

Ms. Bustier swiftly brings her finger to her lip to shush the noise. "Okay okay, settle down class. Today, I've decided that you can study in groups I've organized. I wrote the names on the board."

A sudden déjà vu comes over me, flashing back to when Marinette and I had been partnered up for that project at the beginning on the year,

"First group: Nino, Alex, Ivan, Rose, and Marinette." Ms. Bustier writes in a bold, black marker. Marinette looks at me with a pouty lip and huddles her things into her arms.

"Next group: Sabrina, Chloe, Adrien, Ivan, and Kagami." Adrien's name rings in my head and my head starts spinning. The events of the last time I dealt with him replay as he gives me an evil smirk from across the room.

Marinette slowly turns her head to give me a worrying face as Ms. Bustier finishes writing the names.

"You will be studying with this group for the rest of the week. Everybody find your group!" she smiles, returning to her desk.

Marinette and I stand up in sync, slowly walking away in the opposite direction while holding steady eye contact.

I take a big gulp, pushing back tears of worry.
Adrien looks up at me up at me first, then stands up from his seat where everyone is gathered around. "Well, if it isn't the fag who stole my girlfriend," he scuffs.

Small giggles are heard from Sabrina and Chloe while the others look away in shame. My face turns red out of embarrassment, trying to ignore his comment. I sit in the seats behind the group with Ivan who was already writing some notes.

My face feels flushed as I watch them whisper in front of me, occasionally turning their heads to stare and laugh.

Tears collect in my eyes and I turn to stare at Marinette who seemed to be left out too.

I pull out of my phone, pulling up Marinette's contact and start quietly typing.

[From: Kagami🔆]
This is so much more painful than before.

I watch Marinette type from across the room. She pauses a few times, making the wait for her message longer and longer.

[From: Marinette <3]
i have an idea. just trust me.

My heart beats faster with her text, becoming extremely scared of what she means. Sure, I trust her but I don't trust her around Adrien. After all, we've seen the real him.

I don't take my eyes off her as she leaves her seat and walks over to my group.

She stands in front of Adrien with crossed arms, clearing her through to grab his attention.

I swiftly get up from my seat in panic and watch her from behind them.

"Are you still being homophobic, Adrien?" Marinette asks, leaning her hands on her hip.

Adrien rolls his eyes and stands up to meet her level. "I'll stop behind homophobic once you stop being a faggot," Adrien laughs, aggressive sitting back down.

Marinette squints her eyes and pulls Adrien up by his tight fitting shirt. "Well then, I guess you won't mind me telling everyone about how much of a bottom you were," Marinette winks at me with Adrien still in her grip.

"T-that's not true," he stutters, embarrassed.

"Oh really, then what do you keep in that locked cabinet right beside your bed?" she questions, smiling at him.

He tries to get away from his grip, but she only pulls him closer.

I slowly walk towards her with a giant smile on my face. I stand next to her and smirk at Adrien. "Don't be ashamed Adrien, it's okay to like butt stuff," I loudly say.

The rest of the class overhears, stopping their individual conversations.

"I don't like butt stuff!" Adrien yells, starting a laugh in the class. Everyone giggles to themselves as Adrien turns red.

"Okay, quiet down students, this isn't a conversation for school," Ms. Bustier interrupts.

Marinette turns around, letting Adrien out of her grip. "Sorry Ms. Bustier, we just wanted Adrien to know it's okay to be comfortable with his sexuality!" Marinette flashes her a smile.

"I understand and appreciate that Marinette, but let's save it for lunch time, our mid-terms are coming up quickly!" she gently says.

Marinette smiles at both Ms. Bustier and I, then whips back around to glare at Adrien.

Leaning into his person, she stops right beside his ear. "If you ever harass Kagami and I ever again, that won't be the only thing I'll do," her whispers send noticeable chills down his spin.

I'm so in love with her.
