Class continued as usual, and the day eventually ended. As I grabbed my bag, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I looked behind me, and there was Marinette. "Can I talk to you?" She asked, and I nodded, a bit hesitant. I followed her out the door and outside. I asked her what was wrong. "I told you this once already. Stay away from Adrien! He's mine!" She growled before running to meet up with Alya. She had just confirmed in my mind that she was Ladybug. I shook my head and turned to walk home before Nathan caught up with me.
"Hey, can we hang out Saturday afternoon?" He asked me, a bit nervous. I laughed and agreed, waving goodbye as he perked up and left. I headed home as well, waiting for Adrien before leaving campus.
As we reached Adrien's door, he went to kiss me goodbye. I stopped him, saying to him I needed to tell him something. "What's up?" He asked as Plagg poked his head out of Adrien's shirt. I took a deep breath before telling him that Marinette confronted me again today about being with him. He nodded as I told him exactly what she said. He wrapped me in his arms and hugged me tightly. "Remember what I told you today - I'll always protect you." He whispered before pulling away and kissed me hard on the lips. "I love you." He said against my lips. I repeated those words back to him, clutching at his shirt.
I pulled away after a few moments and looked into Adrien's green eyes. "Go home, get some rest." He told me, and I nodded. He kissed my cheek one last time before unlocking his door and entering his home. I turned and left, walking the rest of the way to my own home.
I immediately went to my room once I got home. I went to my desk and got out all my homework. I managed to to get half of my math done before I got distracted. I kept thinking about what Marinette had said to me. Debating whether or not to tell my parents about this, I slumped in my seat. Sighing, I opened up the blinking chat window at the bottom of my laptop screen. It was Niko. He asked me how I was doing, especially with the boy I had told him about.
I had almost forgotten that I told Niko about Adrien. Smirking to myself, I told Niko about Adrien. Then I asked him about that girl in his art class. It took a few minutes for him to respond, but when he did, he admitted that he had made her up to make me feel jealous. I sighed, knowing that I should have guessed Niko hadn't moved on so soon.
Out of nowhere, Niko then told me that he and his family were coming to France for a vacation. With my heart not only sinking but thudding as it went down, I realized what this meant. Three different boys liked me, and two girls hated me. Well, this mean that shit was going to go down when Niko got here.
I asked him why he chose France. Of course, he responded because I now lived here. I groaned and slammed my head on the desk. As I lifted my head back up, I logged out of my laptop and tried to go back to my homework to get my mind off of the impending shit storm.
