Hey! Sorry, I can't really write on weekends. But 2 more chapters will be posted hopefully later today!
"So, what do you want to do for lunch?"
Marinette, Alya, Adrien, and Nino were hanging out after their last class.
Alya frowned.
"Want to just hang out here today? I have something I have to finish up."
The rest of the group shrugged.
"Sure, Babe," Nino piped up.
As they headed to the cafeteria, Alya pointed out a table in the corner.
"Let's sit there." She grabbed Nino's hand, dragging him over to the four-seat table. By the time Marinette and Adrien caught up, Alya and Nino were already seated next to each other, talking. Marinette sighed as Alya winked at her, realizing she would have to sit next to Adrien.
Adrien smiled at her.
"I guess we're sitting next to each other today!"
She managed a weak chuckle.
"Y-yeah, founds sun. I mean, founss dun! Sounds fun!"
As Marinette internally facepalmed, she missed the sad look that momentarily crossed Adrien's face. She hurried to sit down so as not to embarrass herself further.
As she reached for her sandwich, her hand brushed Adrien's also reaching hand. Her face turned bright red as she snapped her hand back in shock.
"Sorry! I mean- well, never mind, sorry."
Adrien looked at her in bemusement. Marinette just shook her head in embarrassment.
As they finished the rest of their lunch in silence (much to Alya's dismay), Marinette couldn't help sighing.
Why is it so hard?
