Marinette dreaded the next day. That evening, the two girls were in the fashion-designers bedroom getting ready. "You look perfect Alya!" Marinette said as Alya twirled around in her outfit. It consisted of a short-sleeved jean jacket, with a red shirt with black polka dots. She was wearing a white knee length skirt with black flats. "Thank you so much Marinette, you really outdone yourself!" Alya complimented the already blushing girl.

"Come on now try on your dress!"

Marinette sighed. "You know you could always go without me-"

"MARINETTE!"

"Fine." The girl grabbed her outfit and went behind her changing curtain. Marinette was proud of her piece. It was a white sweater with a pink heart in the middle and a black knee length skirt. Alya waited patiently for her friend to dress. Marinette sheepishly opened the curtain. Alya's eyes widened. "Adrien's going to love your get-up! Let's go!" Alya said excitedly before linking arms with Marinette.

The party was at Grand Paris Hotel in the spacious ballroom. Once the two were inside, Marinette regretted her choice. The place was crowded with what seemed like thousands of people. XY was blasting from the speakers. "Uh Alya I think I should go home and…sleep."

Alya shook her head. "Oh no you aren't. Don't you want to see why Chloe invited us to this expensive party?" Alya asked as she walked over to the refreshment tables. "And if it wasn't mentioned before, I think that this is you're moment to ask Adrien out. Before Chloe beats you to it- even in her 3 inch stilettos. Your cute, fun, smart, sassy, artistic and you can make one heck of a dress. He can't just not notice you!"

Marinette sheepishly smiled at Alya's little pep talk as she grabbed a couple cookies from the snack table. She hid some in her bag for Tikki.

"Hey girls, what's up?" Nino appeared from behind them wearing a turn-down collar dress shirt and regular black jeans. Of course he had on his everyday headphones around his neck with black converse. "You guys look awesome!" Nino complimented, smiling at Alya.

Marinette giggled. "Where's Adrien?" Nino smirked, as if he'd knew she'd ask him that. "He's here….somewhere. This sounds really weird from me but I personally think you two are made for each other." Nino winked. Alya chuckled, while Marinette's cheeks became warm and cherry red. Their conversation was interrupted by a familiar, yet irritating voice.

"May I have your attention please?" Chloe's usual attention-seeking tone was loud enough to make the three friends cringe. They looked up to see the blonde in a pricey yellow gown. Not to mention her over-greased hair was down, so something must've been important. "Tonight I have hosted a party and was fortunate enough to invite even some of the losers from College Francois Dupont. You're welcome." Chloe boasted. Could she be anymore revolting? She was standing on a shiny white podium and speaking into a microphone.

"Any it's all thanks to my wonderful daddykins- I mean Mayor Bourgeois, give a round of applause for him!" Chloe welcomed her father on stage with the sound of loud applause.

"Hello fellow citizens of Paris, tonight my daughter has hosted a spectacular party." Alya scoffed. "Yeah right, it just started. And like she hasn't mentioned this already."

"Anyways, Chloe and her companion Adrien Agreste have an announcement. How cute they are." The mayor smiled as Adrien came into view, and Marinette couldn't help but smile at his naturally handsome face. He looked more dashing than ever in his suit and tie. The mayor exited the stage, and Chloe smiled at Adrien with…..love. Something that was EXTREMELY rare for a girl like Chloe.

"Wh-what's happening?" Marinette's smile turned into a frown as her nightmare may come true. Alya took out her phone and quickly pressed record. "This has to be news worthy." Adrien grinned back at her and they held hands.

"Adrien's officially my boyfriend!"

Nino and Alya gasped at the news. Alya stopped recording. Nino was a shocked as her. Adrien didn't even tell him he had gotten himself a girlfriend. What had happened to his crush on Ladybug? Was it supposed to be a surprise? Marinette stared horrified at the couple. The love of her life….dating…a snobbish Barbie doll. "This can't be happening." Marinette whispered as if she was about to be murdered.

"Mari wait!" Alya exclaimed before she could leave, but she was too late as the poor teen flee the crowded room with tears threatening to form a puddle on the floor.
Alya turned to Nino and scowled. "Did you know about this?!" Alya raged. "No, no this is my first time hearing this!" Nino quickly put his hands up in defense. The brown-skinned girl growled at Chloe and Adrien who were being showered in applause on their new relationship.

They didn't know that Chloe was smiling deviously at the entire scenario.

Later on, Adrien walked up to his friends who stood silent when he appeared. "Um hey guys-" "SINCE WHEN DID YOU TAKE AN INTEREST IN CHLOE?!" Alya shouted in his face. "Whoa chill Alya, I'm just as surprised as you." Nino said. Adrien shyly looked at his friends. "Yeah I'm sorry for not telling you guys. Chloe wanted it to be a surprise. And could you guys just be a little more...happy for me? What's with the sudden attitude?" Adrien said disappointed, and perplexed on their behavior.

Alya's face softened as she realized he didn't know about Marinette's crush on him. speaking of Marinette, Adrien noticed she wasn't in sight. "Where's Marinette, I thought I saw her come in." Adrien asked changing the subject.

"You know what, I'm sorry that we were being so harsh but I have to go find Marinette. You and Nino have a great time. A demain!" Alya scrambled out of the room before she could wait for the boy's response and pushed strangers out of her way. Worst. Night. EVER.
