Adrien had been having a good day so far, joking at his desk with Nino while working on school-work. It didn't matter what he was doing at school, he just loved being there. Being home was just so.. lonely. He could hear Alya and Marinette chatting behind him. He couldn't hear what they were talking about but could hear Marinette stuttering in that cute way she always did. He looked back at her and smiled. Her faced flamed bright red but she managed a nervous smile back with a small wave. Her turned around, still smiling, and focused his attention on finishing his school work and conversing with Nino.
Marinette POV
"A-Alya.. W-w-what do y-you mean confess? I-I can barely manage a full sentence a-around him. Much less confess m-my u-u-undying l-love!"
"I got you girl, and you've got this. Even Nino's got our backs. We're all gonna hang out later at the bowling alley, and me and Nino are going to ditch and that's when you're going to talk to him and let him know how you feel. You've got to do this, or he'll never know! The longer you wait, the longer he has to meet and fall for someone else, and there's no one else better than my best friend!"
Marinette gave a weak smile. She knew with her best friend, there was no arguing. She hoped she can actually manage more than a sentence around Adrien tonight. She looked down and noticed Adrien smiling up at her. Her face went hot, and she prayed he didn't hear any of that conversation. Alya giggled. Marinette smiled nervously and managed a small wave back and he turned around. Her heart was already beating out of her chest. She was probably going to die tonight.
