It was late at night and I felt like I couldn't pay attention to the time. It was getting colder and there was rumors that the school was going to close. Adrien prayed that it would storm so badly that it would cancel his work, and to be honest I didn't blame him. The sounds of classic rock flooded my ears until my phone buzzed forcing me to break out of my trance of avoiding sleep.
Nettie:
Hay Bubbles, I can't sleep.
Me:
Me neither Net… what's up
Nettie:
Do you think school will be canceled and Akuma's will take a break tomorrow, because that would be great….
I smirked at the screen, I could practically feel her irritation radiating off the phone.
Me:
I wish that would happen it would be nice. Hay, we don't live far away from one another… if it does storm, you want to play in the snow?
Nettie:
We're not kids anymore Bubbles :)
Me:
Never stopped you before XD
Nettie:
It hasn't…
You've got me there…
I have something to tell you
My heart skipped and I felt myself start to get sweaty. I knew what I wanted her to say. But, I also knew that what I wanted would never happen.
Me:
Shoot
Nettie:
I was thinking about the dance,
You said that you weren't going to leave me
Why did you say that?
Me:
We're friends
I almost felt my eyes water after I sent the message to her. I felt like I was shaking but tried not to think about it. But, it did make me realise, whenever we talk or are around each other it's like a battlefield. It's like we are weary of each other, too timid to get close. Everything is awkward and imperfect for us. Nothing is right.
Nettie:
Yeah, that makes more sense…
I was also thinking about learning for myself about Adrien…
He hangs out a lot with Lila, did you notice that?
Me:
Yeah
Nettie:
That's weird, she's not a good person
I can't believe he would do that…
Look, I am just concerned.
Me:
Of course
Nettie:
What does that supposed to mean?
Me:
Exactly how it is supposed to mean, I am saying of course. Of course you're concerned you're a caring person.
Nettie:
It sounded like you were upset at something, and thanks.
Why do we always fight?
Me:
We fight?
Nettie:
It's like we set each other off. I know you were mad at me during the dance. You were also mad at the last time we had the long discussion about, you know… Adrien.
I just don't like fighting with you. If I ever cross a line tell me okay?
Me:
Yeah, definitely. But, our fights aren't that bad. I think it's good to bud heads a bit, right?
Nettie:
I guess you're right Bubs, but still the aura shouldn't be so...thick.
Me:
Right I understand, So about you and Adrien.
Have you learned anything else?
Nettie:
He hates modeling, and people watching him. I guess, he just wants to be human.
Wait
What if
The reason he hangs out with Lila is because they are in similar positions?
Me:
ding ding ding!
You are on your way to becoming almost as super as ladybug!
Nettie:
Speaking of the bug, did you know he has a HUGE crush on her.
But it doesn't seem right, it reminds me of chat…
I MEAN FROM WHAT WE KNOW OF HIM!
Me:
I get it. So he and the cat have an obsession, but so do you.
Nettie:
On who!?
Me:
Are you serious?
…
Adrien, Nettie
It's not healthy.
Nettie:
Now that's not true…
I just now his plans…
And his sizes…
And one time I stole his phone…
And… looked through the garbage to get a note he wrote...
OH
MY
GOSH!
YOU'RE RIGHT!
Me:
That would be $100 please you're welcome.
Nettie:
I have never noticed it! I am being serious!
Me:
I am glad you are, because I'm not, also Valentines day?
Nettie:
Oh, yeah! I wanted to ask for your help again…
Me:
About what?
Nettie:
Promise not to tell okay… it's embarrassing
Me: I Promise
Nettie:
I want to kiss Adrien
That was it, my heart broke right then and there. I felt completely gone. I was going to die alone. The only girl that I ever had feeling for was in love with my best friend. No matter what, I would never reach his potential.
Me:
Okay? And?
Nettie:
I need to practice.
And I don't trust myself okay!?
I gulped because I had a feeling but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Because, if I was wrong… things could go terribly wrong.
Me:
So, you want me to kiss you or something?
Nettie:
When you say it like that it sounds wrong!
Look, you are just helping me, Okay?
Don't think too much about it.
But, her text didn't stop me from thinking. Kissing Marinette? I didn't think it would come down to this. Would I be able to control myself? What if she feels weird around me after that?
Nettie:
Just think of it as an experiment. I mean, if the thought is too weird for you.
Me:
No, it's fine, I'll help.
Nettie:
Okay, thanks
Also
Please don't tell Alya.
Me:
Alright
Not telling Alya about it was going to be hard, but not as hard as keeping it away from Adrien who would probably pick up on my mood and start asking me questions. Hopefully he wouldn't.
Author's Notes: I didn't realize just how short this chapter was so for Bonus I will upload Chapter 5 today instead of next week a bit later. PLUS Take a request on what you guys want to see next just to have another update for next week. XD so REQUEST PLEASE. Also the reason why it said updated even though I didn't update was because I fixed the chapter name of the third chapter which lead to me having to delete that chapter and then re-upload it under a different name. So I apologize for that.
THANK YOU Clarisa the wonderful review along with all the guest reviews. I must say if you are guest please put in your name somewhere it doesn't have to be your real one I would just prefer thanking ya'll by name that's all. Thank you guys so much you are really just so sweet.
