Chapter 10

Sylvia sighed as she packed up her books and waved at Nathanaël before she exited the art class. It was hard to keep her thoughts under control and not to say anything. She didn't have a choice, however, she had her secrets to keep.

Sylvia bit her bottom lip as the image of a bracelet flashed through her thoughts and her grip tightened on her bag. Why did he have to wear that? Why? Didn't her father throw it away when she left home? It was driving her insane.

Sylvia pulled out her phone when she heard a beeping sound and saw there was a message from Roger. He agreed to take her to Marinette's house and she felt relieved. She was uncertain that he would do it at first but he always came through in the end.

"Hey, Sylvia! You still here?"

Sylvia's entire body went rigid at the voice and she spun around with wide green eyes. Adrien smiled at her and Sylvia swallowed thickly. "Y-Yeah, I was just heading out. What about you?" She asked and Adrien rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, I just finished with my fencing classes so I'm heading home." Adrien replied and Sylvia nodded before her eyes caught sight of the silver bracelet again. She bit her bottom lip hard enough not to say what she was thinking while organizing her thoughts.

"Adrien, mind if I see your bracelet real quick?" Sylvia asked and Adrien blinked a few times before he nodded. He held out his wrist and Sylvia gently took hold of the bracelet. Her fingers instinctively trailed over the engraved text and then her fingers went to a small scratch that made her smile.

She remembered that.

"It's very well kept..." She murmured before she realized her thoughts and grinned innocently to Adrien. "Oh, sorry! I-I have to go! See you tomorrow!" She waved at the male and walked off while Adrien waved back at her.

That was strange. Adrien thought and looked back at the bracelet. He trailed his finger over the engraved text until he also felt the scratch. His eyes widened and he looked back at Sylvia who climbed into the car. How did she know...?

"Thanks, Roger, I owe you one." Sylvia said with a warm smile that didn't reach the sad gleam in her eyes. "Marinette offered to...uh, help me with a few things in history!" She added and Roger nodded at her.

"No problem, Little Lady."

Sylvia sighed in relief when he didn't ask anything else and she felt tired. She leaned against the door while staring out. She tried her best to keep her mind clear and not to think of anything while staring out of the window.

"It's not far from school at all. You might even be in walking distance!" Roger said as they arrived at the small bakery and Sylvia blinked a few times. She expected the ride to take much longer but was relieved to find that it was short.

"Thanks, Roger. Let me know when you're going to pick me up later" Sylvia said as she stepped out of the car and Roger gave her a thumbs up before she closed the door. She glanced up at the small bakery and smiled.

Boulangerie Patisserie. She took in a deep breath and her stomach growled as if on cue. She walked inside and a bell rang before a woman with the same blue/black hair as Marinette smiled widely at the new costumer.

"Hi, I apologize to disturb. I'm Sylvia, a friend of Marinette. She said that she'll help me with um...some history homework!" Sylvia resisted her thoughts again and the woman nodded. She gestured to the stairs.

"She's not here currently but feel free to go up to her room, Sylvia" Sabine said and winked at Sylvia. "By the way, love your songs," She whispered to the blonde girl and Sylvia snickered. She thanked the woman before she advanced upstairs.

"I guess I have some adult fans too. Good to know" She murmured softly as she continued to walk upstairs. She came to a trapdoor and hesitantly pushed it open. She glanced around before she entered the room.

Sylvia blinked a few times as she took in the pink room before she noticed something. Everyone were photos of Adrien. Marinette had posters of Adrien against the walls and she even had his schedule attached to her ceiling.

"Whoa...talk about being lovesick. She really has it bad" She thought aloud once again and stared at the different collages of photos. An unconscious smile came onto Sylvia lips as she looked over the photos and she trailed her fingers on one of the photos.

"Sylvia! Would you like some pastries?"

Sylvia snapped around and saw Sabine's head poke out of the trap door. "Thanks, Ms. Dupain-Cheng." Sylvia thanked and took the pastries. Sabine smiled before she left once again and Sylvia took a bite out of the pastry before her cheeks flushed. They were delicious.

"Sorry, I'm late, Mom! I was a bit caught up with chatting with Alya!" Marinette's voice reached Sylvia's ears as she went to sit down on the small couch on the other side of the wall. She was sure that she was going to surprise the girl.

"Phew, what a long-Wha-! Sylvia! You gave me a scare!" Marinette exclaimed as she entered her room only to see the girl waving at her. Luckily, Tikku didn't come out from her small handbag or there would've been trouble.

"I apologize, I didn't mean to bother you? Am I too early? Should I come back later?" Sylvia asked but Marinette shook her head. She gave Sylvia a small smile and put her handbag down gently onto her bed.

"Not at all! I was just surprised. Besides, I did say you can come visit me after school." Marinette said and Sylvia offered her a pastry. Marinette thanked her and took the pastry while going to sit down on her desk chair.

"So...you've got a lot of pink and Adrien in here" Marinette almost choked on her piece of pastry and Sylvia laughed. "Calm down! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your love collage. Say, when did this love bug bite you?" Sylvia asked and Marinette felt her cheeks warm up.

"W-Well, on his second day of school... I-He-We...uh...kinda...I don't know... All I know is that he's the love of my life..." Marinette trailed off with a deep sigh in thought and Sylvia laughed at her once again.

"You have it bad, but you two'll make a nice couple. I can almost see little Marinettes and Adriens running around in this overly pink room," Sylvia thought aloud again before she groaned at her curse. "I did it again, didn't I?" She noticed Marinette's bright red face and sweat dropped.

"Oh, sorry!" Marinette laughed nervously. "I figured out who hit your earlier, by the way. His name is Thoughtless, his power is that everything you think you will say out loud" She explained while turning to her computer.

Marinette switched on her computer and Sylvia whistled at the Adrien collage wallpaper making Marinette blush again. She quickly got the footage of the villain and Sylvia blinked a few times before she nodded.

"Yeah, that's him alright... Any news on Ladybug and Chat Noir?" Marinette shook her head and Sylvia let out a sigh. "Well, that's just great. I guess I'll just have to continue on to have my head blank" Sylvia said and sat back down with a defeated expression.

Marinette gave her a sympathetic smile and turned towards Sylvia. "It must be hard not to keep your thoughts at bay after today..." Marinette trailed off. She didn't even know how to sympathize with the girl or ask her about her brother problems.

"Yeah... You know, I bought that bracelet for him on his seventh birthday. I was nine at the time but I made sure that it was perfect. I was sure that my Father had thrown it away but I guess he just hid it away until now" Sylvia said and Marinette gaped.

"Wait, you're two years older than us?!" Sylvia nodded.

"Yes, Adrien's my little brother." She said and Marinette was stunned. "However, my age as Sylvia Chevalier is the same as yours but I'm actually two years older. Don't look so shocked. Your face is going to stay that way when the clock strikes twelve"

Marinette snapped out of her haze and shook her head to get rid of her expression. "Sorry, I just didn't expect that or actually any of this. Wow, to think your Adrien's sister and you even saw all of this!" Marinette could feel her face heat up in embarrassment and Sylvia laughed.

"Don't worry! I've seen worse. Trust me"

"Um... Sylvia... Why...? Why doesn't Adrien know about this? I... I don't think I understand the situation" Marinette murmured softly and Sylvia's face turned stoic. She glanced down at the floor and a gleam of sadness came into her eyes.

"Well, it's complicated to be honest." Sylvia started. "I was the first born so obviously, I was a disappointment. Who would want a daughter to inherit the family business, right? But at that time, my mother was still there for the support"

"My singing career began when I was very young and it was almost scary how I was suddenly thrown in the world of the infamous. I barely came home and when I wanted to see my brother, my Father either said he was busy with modeling or something important came up" She continued.

"I guess it was only natural. We were both too busy to see each other and I was practically invisible but Yvette made sure that we always hung out when we had the time. Then, my mother disappeared and my Father changed completely" She tightened her grip on her hands.

"He made sure to concentrate on Adrien's career and told me that I had to concentrate on my own. Moreover, with my touring I wouldn't ever get to see him... That's when I decided it was best to change my identity and my Father approved" She explained and Marinette's brows furrowed.

"That's so sad. Surely, Adrien remembers you. He can't possibly forget family" Marinette pointed out but Sylvia shook her head sadly. She appreciated Marinette's positivity but there was no way Adrien would remember her.

"He was so young when I left home and my Father made sure that there was no evidence of me to distract him. He knew that if Adrien knew about me, he would go look for me... Just like he was doing now, and it would distract him" Sylvia replied and Marinette frowned.

"But you're here now! You can always tell Adrien! I'm sure that he'll be ecstatic to find out that he has a sister! He is kind of lonely with his dad always going away and all" Marinette suggested but Sylvia shook her head.

"Marinette, being here already defies my father's wishes and how do you think Adrien will react when he finds out his father was hiding the secret of his sister? He already has a broken relationship with him, this will shatter it for sure" Sylvia stated and sighed.

"I wasn't even supposed to exist..."

"Hey! Don't go saying stuff like that!" Marinette scolded and Sylvia's eyes shot towards the sudden angry girl. "Everyone has a purpose for being born and you're here for a reason. You are special and you have people who adore you! Don't ever say something like that again!"

Sylvia stared at Marinette with her green eyes wide and her mouth went dry. "You're a dear friend to all of us and even to Adrien. If your Father doesn't appreciate you then he's blind to the amazing person standing right in front of him" Marinette stated and saw tears forming in Sylvia's eyes.

"I-Is it really okay for me to be here?"

Marinette nodded despite feeling a painful pang in her chest at Sylvia's broken tone. "Of course!" Marinette hugged Sylvia and the blonde bit her bottom lip. She hugged the girl back and resisted the tears that wanted to fall.

"Thanks, Marinette"

"Anytime and if you feel down, you can come and talk to me, okay?" Marinette offered and Sylvia nodded with a small smile. She wiped the tears away before they fell and straightened herself up.

"Now that we got that out of the way... What is this I hear about Chat Noir hanging out with you nightly?" Marinette asked and this time it was Sylvia's turn to blush while stuttering all over her words.

"I...uh-um, I-" Sylvia's phone suddenly went off and she quickly pulled it out before her eyes widened. "Oh, no! I completely forgot about my shopping spree with Chloe! She's going to kill me!" Sylvia exclaimed with a horror-filled expression and Marinette flinched.

"That's bad... You better get there quick before she freaks out but don't think this is going to keep me from asking you about that alley cat of yours" Marinette smirked and Sylvia laughed nervously while nodding.

"S-Sure... See you later!"
