"Marinette are you okay?" Tikki my Kwami asks while flying towards me. "I'm ok Tikki don't worry," I say obviously lying. "I know it hurts Marinette but everything will be ok I promise."

I grab my things and slowly walk towards the school since it won't start for another 20 minutes. As I arrive I see Alya and Nino by the school's front steps./p

I asked how she was but I could tell she didn't want to speak so I decided not to push her more about the subject.

I'm a little upset with him. I mean Adrien is my best friend but I seriously question his decisions. I know deep inside he knows that Kagami is not for him. I know my bro likes Mari but he is so oblivious./p

That's when I see him staring at Mari and I let out a small smile. Maybe he is catching on. But that's when Mari walks away. Oh no my ship is definitely sinking. I let out a sigh and turn to look at Adrien but I see he is lost in thought. I ask him what is up with him and all he does is ask about Mari. I can see he is sad he looks hurt. I wanted to tell him how dumb and oblivious he is. How he broke Mari with his stupid relationship with Kagami. Part of me wanted to punch him but instead, I just tell him I don't know and confirm that she doesn't hate him. Right before he could ask anything else the bells ring signaling us to get to class./p

"Yeah, yeah that's going to cost you more cheese" em style="box-sizing: border-box;"*There's the Plagg I know lol*/em I toss him another piece of stinky cheese. "But... Marinette is just a friend." "Sure kid whatever you say." He replies after finishing his cheese. "She is just a friend!" I said almost as if I was yelling. /p

Why have you talked about her more than the Kagami girl you are dating? But she is just a friend right?" His words got to me and I stopped to think em style="box-sizing: border-box;"*have I talked about her that much? I mean she is special to me but, as a friend, right?* /em"I don't know Plagg she is one of my first friends, so I care about her a lot even if she can't speak to me or hates me." Just then there's a knock on my door and I see Natalie "Adrien the car is waiting if you don't hurry you will be late for school." She says showing no emotion whatsoever./p

No! I love Ladybug plus I have a girlfriend, I'm happy right?* /emmy thoughts are cut short by the car coming to a stop in front of the school. I make my way for my style="box-sizing: border-box;" *wait is that Marinette? She is here! Why does that make me so happy? I can't help it seeing her here makes me happy. No stop Adrien she is just a friend and you have Kagami and she likes Luka!*/em I snap out of my thoughts and walk up to them. I greet them all but my focus is completely on Marinette. They greet me back but Marinette hesitates./p

Why is she ignoring me? Did I do something? But most importantly why does it hurt? I feel broken.* "Adrien!" Nino yells at me "/emDude you ok you spaced out?" "Yeah sorry I'm ok but what's wrong with Mari? Does she hate me?" I ask hoping he can help me. "I don't know man I'm sure she doesn't hate you though." I turn to ask Alya but see that she ran after Marinette. *RING* the bells signal us it's time for class./p

I can see something is wrong and decide to ask. She tells me how she is worried about Mari. I can see her hold back tears. I give her advice. At that moment Mari arrives and man she does not look good. Alya runs to her and I decide to give them time alone and wait for them. /p

I asked how she was but I could tell she didn't want to speak so I decided not to push her more about the subject. Although I wish she would talk to me and let me help she had been my friend for a long time she is basically like a sister to me. That's when Adrien walks in and greets us and we greet back. I'm a little upset with him. I mean Adrien is my best friend but I seriously question his decisions. I know deep inside he knows that Kagami is not for him. I know my bro likes Mari but he is so oblivious./p

That's when I see him staring at Mari and I let out a small smile. Maybe he is catching on. But that's when Mari walks away. Oh no my ship is definitely sinking. I let out a sigh and turn to look at Adrien but I see he is lost in thought. I ask him what is up with him and all he does is ask about Mari. I can see he is sad he looks hurt. I wanted to tell him how dumb and oblivious he is. How he broke Mari with his stupid relationship with Kagami. Part of me wanted to punch him but instead, I just tell him I don't know and confirm that she doesn't hate him. Right before he could ask anything else the bells ring signaling us to get to class./p

"Girl, what was that? You totally ignored Adrien that is not like you." "Look Alya I know but I just can't face him yet. Plus it's best if we didn't talk, I need to move on and it won't help if we keep talking." I can see even her answer hurts her so I decide on a different approach. "I get it but he is your friend and that shouldn't change." I hope I can change her mind. "I guess you're right Alya but not today I can't face him today" she replies. At least that's something. With that, we head to class./p

Chloe is on a trip with her mom so I didn't have to deal with her. I kept away from everyone at school since all they could talk about was Adrien's new girlfriend. Adrien tried getting my attention and speaking to me a few times but I just kept walking away. Finally, the bell rang to go home so I quickly packed my bag so I can run home. Just as I was going out the doors I felt a hand grab my wrist. I turn to see none other than Adrien himself. em style="box-sizing: border-box;"*Seriously why him? Not now.*/em "Marinette did I do something? Why are you ignoring me?" He asked me with a frown on his face. em style="box-sizing: border-box;"*He looks sad and a little broken I wonder if that's my fault but I'm sure that's not the case because to him I'm just a friend* /emI decided to answer I guess Alya is right and he is still my friend. Right, when I was going to answer "AHHHHHH" a scream was heard. An Akuma attack, honestly I am thankful for the interruption. "I have to go to the bathroom," Adrien says so I quickly ran to an ally to transform./p
