Alix was laying flat on her bed sighing in content before an annoying ring sounded from her side. Alix reluctantly sat up and reached for her phone, reading the caller ID which had been Alya she answered the phone.
"Hey Girl! Me, Marinette, Mylene, Juleka and Rose are having a sleepover tomorrow night, want to join!?" Alya said enthusiastically.
"Yeah sure, where and what time?" Alix asked lazily.
"At Marinettes, around 4 pm," Alya said, thinking over her answer before deciding it were appropriate.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Alix said.
"Bye Alix, can't wait!" Alya shouted excitedly and ended the call.
Alix sighed exasperatedly into her pillow but allowed a small smile tug at her lips whilst she stood up and dragged her feet to her closet. After grabbing a spare backpack, she rummaged through her closet and found a of change of clothes for tomorrow.
Leaving her room and walking down the stairs, she walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She glanced inside before closing it again and groaning at the lack of food, her brother would have to go grocery shopping soon.
With her father and brother both working at the Museum, she had the whole apartment to herself.
Giving one last groan, she walked back to her room in defeat. There would be food at Marinettes anyway.
Deciding it were best to shower, she stripped her clothes and turned on the cool water that sprinkled down her back slowly making her shiver. Once she was all clean, she left the shower and dried before standing in front of the mirror and fixing her hair.
She stood there for about 10 minutes, thinking of any possible activities she could do until she decided that she would go buy the groceries instead of her brother. Alix slipped downstairs and threw on her coat then put on her rollerskates.
She started skating down the stairs carefully and soon came outside. It was cold and rainy but Alix skated on anyways, into the direction of the grocery store. Gliding into the store, she made her way around and picked everything she needed then placed it into a basket. Milk, bread, jam, cheese, butter, croissants, chocolate, and a few snacks for herself.
Cominf to a conclusion that she was finished, she started skating to the cashier register until she bumped into somebody dropping her basket. She groaned then looked up about to scream out some retort until she saw who it was. It was Kim, she hasn't seen him in about a week, with all the holidays going on she hasn't been able to talk to him at all.
"Yo Alix," Kim said excitedly and extended a hand out to her.
"What are you doing here Kim?" Alix said rolling her eyes but grabbed his hand anyways.
"Isn't it obvious Tinkerbell? I'm grocery shopping," Kim said laughing.
"Yeah yeah," Alix said picking up her basket and readying herself to skate off.
"Wait! Are you doing anything Sunday?" Kim asked.
"Don't think so, why Hercules?" Alix said raising a brow, making Kim smirk at the nickname.
"Want to hang around my place?" Kim questioned.
"Yeah sure, text me all the details later, bye!" Alix shouted skating off to go pay for her items.
"Cool, I'll see you on Sunday!" Kim shouted to her.
Alix glanced back at Kim, who was staring at her retrieving figure. She skated the rest of the way home wide-eyed, slightly surprised at how she was acting she stopped and recollected her thoughts. She'd just ask the girls what it meant.
Once she was home, she threw her skates off her feet and face planted the couch. She walked into the kitchen and placed all of the groceries on their rightful place, then grabbed the ice cream she bought for herself and trudged upstairs into her room.
After places herself comfortably on her bed, she opened the tub of ice cream and grabbed her laptop. Soon enough, she fell asleep watching a new show on Netflix. Waking up a few hours later.
~Morning~
Peeking an eye open, Alix first noticed the bright light that radiated throughout her room, making her eyes blind momentarily and close without thought. Groaning Alix opened her eyes once again, this time fighting the bright light that burned her eyes. She sat up and checked the time. 11:00am. Her eyes fully adjusted to her surroundings and she was reminded that she was going to Marinettes at 4pm.
Knowing fully well she had spare time, she got ready and headed outside for her daily rollerskate glide around Paris. It was chilly outside so Alix wore a coat. She was passing by the Eiffel Tower and gazed at it without looking where she was going, she fell. She waited for the impact, but it never came until she opened her tightly shut eyes, fluttering ever so slightly.
She looked up and saw that familiar face from yesterday, she jumped back slightly. Dusting herself as if nothing ever happened.
"Watch out Tinkerbell, or you'll hurt yourself," Kim said softly, sincerity in his eyes making Alix blush the faintest pink but brushed it off as the cold.
"I'm fine Kim, could have handled it myself," Alix said rolling her eyes, avoiding eye contact.
"What were you doing?" Kim asked raising a brow sceptically.
"Skating, admiring Paris." Alix retorted.
"Are you doing anything today?" Kim questioned.
"I'm going to Marinettes for a sleepover at 4:00," she said quickly.
"Funny you say that I'm going to Agrestes for a sleepover at 4:00 as well," Kim said laughing.
"Ok, well cya!" Alix yelled before skating off and not waiting for a reply from Kim, instead focusing on where she was going.
~3:52~
Alix scurried downstairs with her stuff in hand and slammed the door open, then sped through the neighbourhood and made it just on time to Marinettes. Walking through the bakery door, a small bell rang and a smiling Tom and Sabine came through the door and directed Alix into Marinette's room.
Opening the hatch door she saw Marinette, Alya, Rose, Juleka and Mylene all filtered around Marinette's room. The girls turned their heads and immediately ran to go give Alix a hug. Once everybody's things had been situated, the girls sat in a circle on the floor.
"Juleka, truth or dare?" Alya asked brightly.
"Truth" Juleka murmured.
"Do you have a crush on anybody?" Alya said.
"Yes," Juleka replied, making everybody gasp.
"Ok, Alix truth or dare?" Juleka asked, ignoring the gasps.
"Dare, obviously!" Alix shouted confidently.
"I dare you to call the boys and tell them, everybody, that is special to you and why," Juleka said then smirked.
"Fine!" Alix retorted.
"Oh, I know the number to Adriens phone in his room," Marinette said squealing.
"It's **********," Marinette said, then the phone started ringing.
"Hello?" One of the boys said, Max if Alix recognised the voice correctly.
"Yo Max, can you put this on speaker?" Alix asked.
"You're on speaker right now," Max replied.
"Ok, so I got dared to say who's special to me and why, firstly my family because they are always there for me. Next I would have to say all of my friends, girls and boys for helping me through everything and making me laugh, and lastly, I guess Kim? Because he never fails to put a smile on my face, anyways that was it bye!" Alix said quickly before ending the call.
"Ooo, what's this with Kim now?" Mylene said smirking.
"Nothing, why would there be anything?" Alix said calmly.
"I don't know, you seem very fond of him." Rose squeaked excitedly.
"Might even say you have a crush on him," Alya added, all calmness left Alix face and was replaced with suspicion.
"Hold up! Me and Kim aren't like that, I don't like him in that way," Alix said, raising a brow.
"Sure Alix, definitely not," Juleka said sarcastically.
"Because you definitely didn't just say Kim was special to you," Marinette said rolling her eyes.
"You sure nothing's going on?" Rose asked, tilting her head.
"No, there is nothing goi— actually I bumped into him yesterday and before yesterday. He seemed to be staring at me? Did I have something in my hair?" Alix said before shrugging dismissively.
"He was staring at you?!" They all said simultaneously.
"Yeah, no big deal don't worry about it," Alix said, half listening.
"Alix! He was staring at you, he thinks you're hot!" Mylene said urgingly, Alix chocked on air.
"H-hot?! I think that's a bit exaggerated!" Alix screamed.
"Did you just stutter?" Rose said raising her eyebrows in surprise.
"No! I did not stutter." Alix said looking away from the girls.
"Ok, here's what we'll do! We will dress up Alix on Monday in school and see how he reacts?" Alya suggested.
"Yeah! Great idea!" The girls cheered.
A ding sounded from Alix's phone and she looked at the text with a frown then turned to the girls and asked if they wanted to go shopping for her outfit on Sunday. Truth is, Kim cancelled plans and said he was hanging at Adriens house, he asked if she wanted to come but she declined. Turning her phone off the girls spent the rest of the night playing silly games, laughing, embarrassing each other and sleeping.
The next day, Alix woke up and looked warily to the side, finding Alya on her phone probably updating the Ladyblog. Mylene on the other smiling at her phone, probably messages from Ivan and Rose and Juleka lay peacefully beside each other with Marinette sprawled out on the side.
"Oh, hey Alix! Glad you're awake," Mylene said happily.
"What time is it?" Alix asked groaning into her pillow.
"9:36 am," Alya interrupted, fixing the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"We should probably wake up the girls," Alix said, sitting up.
The next 20 minutes, the girls spent waking up the rest and getting up to get ready. Once they were all changed they went downstairs for breakfast which Tom and Sabine happily provided. After that, the girls went out to the mall for a makeover.
The girls went to many different stores, throwing anything they could find in Alix's direction. After a few hours of shopping Alix was tired but happy that she found something new to wear with her style involved. The girls picked out trendy, lightly washed, mom jeans, checkered vans, long-sleeved white t-shirt and a black snake top to go overtop.
Satisfied with the look, the girls walked to their separate homes since it was... 7 AT NIGHT! Alix rushed home and sighed when she found out her brother and father were working overtime at the museum. Walking upstairs she stared at the new clothes for a moment before getting into the shower and getting into bed early for tomorrow.
After all, school was starting...
~8:00am~
Alix groaned and sat up, eyeing her alarm clock warily then lazily got up into the bathroom. Fixing her hair and brushing her teeth she walked into her room and walked over to the bag with newly bought clothes in it. It was too early to even try and complain, she slipped on her clothes and walked downstairs to have breakfast. Finding her brother and father at the table, she said nothing and instead opted to eat some cereal.
When she finished eating, she grabbed her backpack and threw on her coat. Waving goodbye to her brother and father, she headed off to school trying to walk faster than usual since she didn't have her skates to speed down the road. Arriving in class just on time, everybody stared at her, making her raise an eyebrow. Kim was too occupied writing something he didn't even notice when she sat in front of him.
Only later at lunch did Kim first notice. He looked at her with wide eyes and immediately shut his hanging jaw. Instead of staring, he distracted himself by walking over to his friends. They were sitting at a table when suddenly Alix walked by.
"Hey Shortie, why don't you come over here?" One of them yelled, making Alix walk over with a stern look.
"Yeah, why don't we go hang out at my place?" Another said.
"I think you'd find that I would like to know your names first," Alix said, giving a flirtatious smirk.
"Ahh, of course. I'm Nick." Nick said.
"I'm Phil," Phil said with a wink.
"Ok. Fick and Pill, how about you come to my place and I show you a lesson?" Alix said pouting cutely.
"Parents?" Someone else said this time.
"And who might you be?" Alix turned to the voice.
"Josh." He said with a smirk.
"Ok Jost, how about you all come to my place, my parents aren't home," Alix said with a smirk.
"Ooo, damn Tinkerbell. Hear that Kim?" Phil yelled.
"Yeah, heard her clearly," Kim mumbled, making Alix smirk deviously.
"I'll have you know that only one person calls me Tinkerbell, and he is not you. So how about you leave before I beat your guys' asses up?" Alix said, smiling at them sweetly.
"Yeah right, I'd like to see you try," Josh answered, rolling his eyes.
"Do you really wanna go?" Alix said, raising a brow suspiciously.
"Ahh, no thanks. I'd like to see you beat my ass though, let's go Kim." Nick said smirking gesturing for Kim to leave, when Kim didn't answer the boys kept their focus on trying to hit on Alix, setting a fire inside Kim, not knowing what it meant he slowly started to get more and more agitated.
"How about you come over tonight?"
"You should try wearing shorts next time,"
"I definitely approve,"
"Are you single?"
"What's such a hot girl doing without a boyfriend?"
Suddenly a loud bang sounded and echoed across the whole cafeteria, bringing the attention of everybody inside including Mylene, Juleka, Rose, Alya and Marinette. Everybody's looking in the direction from which the noise came from and saw none other than Kim standing abruptly and walking over to Alix, standing behind her protectively.
"Listen, how about you just leave her alone? She's clearly not interested, so leave before me and her will both kick your asses," Kim growled.
"And how do you know she's not interested?" Josh said, raising a brow earning smirks from the rest.
"Yeah, how do you know I'm not interested? I know one person here that I'd like to leave with," Alix said smirking, making Kim gawk at her.
"Who?" Kim said, his voice cracking in disbelief. Alix traced a finger up Kim's chest and pulled him down, ready to whisper into his ear.
"You," She said lowly, so only he could hear. Seeming as if Alix had just woken up from a spell she shook her head. Then looked up and her eyes widened, a realisation hit her like a truck and she cleared her throat.
"Ok! I'm gonna go now, I don't want any of you. Good day!" Alix said quickly, voice higher than normal and leaving to go sit next to the girls.
Once she sat down at the table the girls all surrounded her with wide eyes. Asking many questions but then opted for waiting for Alix to calm down.
"What did you say?" Mylene asked hurriedly.
"I whispered "you" into his ear!" Alix said panicking.
"You what?" The girls shouted.
"I know! I can't believe it! Why did I do that?" Alix said quickly.
"Don't worry girl it'll be fine!" Alya said, trying to comfort Alix.
"I sound like a total weirdo!" Alix said exasperatedly.
"Is somebody actually scared about how them may look in front of Kim?" Marinette teased with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.
"Pshh, no!" Alix said, waving her hand wildly.
"Yeah, because you are definitely not freaking out over what Kim thinks about you right now," Mylene added.
"Fine, but Kim's like my best friend. What if he doesn't want to be friends anymore?" Alix yelled frantically.
Just then the bell rang and the girls all walked to class. Alya told Alix to chill and try to forget about it, pretend like nothing happened. When she arrived in class she sat in her assigned seat and waited for Kim to enter through the door. When Kim didn't enter she got worried, especially when Max didn't enter either.
Alix politely excused herself to the bathroom. Once she left the classroom she walked around school trying to find Kim and Max. Making her way around a corner she saw Kim and Max sitting in front of their lockers. Deciding she would eavesdrop was not the best idea, but what else was she meant to do?
"I just, like..what? Why am I getting to anxious over this?" Kim said sighing.
"What did Alix do? Did she do something bad?" Max said angrily.
"No no! She did the complete opposite, she flirted with me Max! What does that mean?" Kim closed his eyes and bit his lip.
"She just looked so badass, I was losing it. Seriously bro, she looked to hot I thought my jaw was going to be permanently hanging," Kim rambled, making Alix blush brightly. Alix then looked down to fiddle with her fingers anxiously, what she didn't notice was that she unconsciously took her phone out to video the conversation when it started.
"If I didn't know better I'd say you have a crush on Alix," Max said grinning widely.
"Me have a crush on A-Alix. No way!" Kim said hesitantly.
"As your best friend I am asking you this right now. Why do you like her?" Max said curiously but also very aware of the flustered Alix around the corner.
"She's just so confident, she can kick anybody's ass at any time. She's so small it makes her look so adorable, but when she dresses like she did today I literally don't want any boys looking at her. I mean who wouldn't want to just run up to her and kiss her sen—" Kim stopped once hearing a gasp. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion but brushed it off.
"What do I do Max? What if she hates me? Omg, what if she doesn't want to be friends anymore?" Kim continued.
"You sound like Marinette right now, just pretend it didn't happen and try not to kiss her please," Max said chuckling lightly.
"Heh, thanks for the advice Max!" Kim said standing up.
Alix ran back into the classroom and slammed the door, smiling sheepishly she made her way to her seat and got her phone out. Sending a text to the girls she waiting until the bell rang. After class was dismissed Alix waited outside for the girls and they all walked to Marinettes, entering her room Alix started panicking.
"What is it Alix?" Rose asked curiously.
"Listen to this!" She said, shoving her phone in their faces and pressing play.
After the video was finished all of the girls were smirking and Alix was blushing brightly. Then chaos erupted, the girls were frantically fangirling over Kim and Alix whilst Alix tried her absolute hardest to fight the blush on her face and protest to the girls.
"Omg!" Marinette shouted abruptly, making the girls silent.
"Kim has a crush on Alix!" Marinette shouted again, making the girls smirk devishly.
"Ahh, so um. You know h-how about we just f-forget about this?" This time Alix stutter and blush was very clear, making the girls smirk wider.
"Yeah, you have a crush on him too." Alya states bluntly.
"What? No, psh!" Alix trailed off, earning judging glares like that.
"Why would I have a crush on Kim? Why would I have a crush on someone that gets dimples when they smile too widely or when their eyes light up after I challenge him or that sexy smirk of hi—" Alix rambled, then slapped a hand over her mouth with wide eyes.
"Omg, did I seriously just say that?" Alix shouted.
"Yes, you did!" The girls squealed, earning a groan from Alix.
"Alix has a crush on Kim!" The girls chanted.
"Come on! I don't have a cru— I so have a crush on Kim." Alix said sighing dejectedly.
"Omg, she just admitted it!" Rose said fangirling.
Whilst the girls uncontrolably fangirled, Alix was too busy thinking about Kim and the video. She decided to delete the video and forget about it all, instead stubbornly trying
to block out any thoughts of Kim and him possibly having a crush on her leaving her in a trance.
