Day 4: Girl's Night
Note: The girls are all around 16.
At night all the girls of Miss Bustier's class and a few from other teachers were doing a pajama party at Juleka's houseboat.
Kagami Tsurugi sat on a barstool between Lila Rossi and Rose Lavillant watching Juleka's older brother Luka helping the goth girl mixing smoothies for the party guests.
Alix was dancing with Alya, Myléne and Aurore in the middle of the living room, Mireille sat with Ondine, Marinette, Sabrina and Chloé on the couch seeing the girls dance, besides Chloé that was showing her friend Sabrina something on her smartphone.
"Marinette get up and dance with us," Asked Alya dancing to the song, that aired from a Bluetooth connected music box.
"No I'm fine" Marinette rejected, then Alya rolled her eyes playfully and grabbed the blue-haired girl on the hand for her to get up.
"Come we dance together" Alya offered, then Marinette shrugged her shoulders and joined her friend.
At the bar Luka served the drinks, followed by Juleka adding to all drinks a lemon slice on the edge of the drink glasses.
"Thank you," Said the three on the bar stool in chorus.
"I love strawberry so much," Rose said starting to sip from the drinking straw.
"Aww," Lila and Kagami said at the same time.
"The little kitty seems to love her milk," Luka said observing his sister-in-law enjoying the mix.
"Luka, can I tell you something?" The Japanese asked afterward the raven-haired turned his attention to the short blue-hair. "Thank you for letting me make the birthday party here"
"No problem" Juleka's older brother responded. "My mom takes it easy. Also, it would probably be very boring spending the birthday all alone home"
"Yeah"
"I dislike being alone. I nearly spend all my birthday or public holidays all alone, just once in a while, I had the luck to spend three years ago until Befana day with my nonna, then I had to go back to my parents and we went to Turkey for a week or so"
"Same if not it's just a normal day, where I have to work on my fencing skills, studying for school, guitar lessons, Russian..."
"You're like the female version of Adrien, except you can go out and he kind of can't"
"He can, but sometimes his father is like my mother at some instinct. My violin its string had got broken during the play and she didn't let me out to go to the cinema with you"
"Oh yeah, I remember," Lila said drinking a bit from her smoothie. "Rose and Juleka were there together with Nathaniel."
"I found it strange, that the movie was unrestricted and it contained….uhm intercourse" Juleka pointed out a little abashed.
"Yeah I know, but it wasn't explicit, and…...if there were any kids I think they didn't get it," Lila said trying to remember that evening.
"You didn't see seem really naked. You saw they had underwear, that girl there even wore a bra" Kagami mentioned.
"Nathaniel was funny, he looked at me with a disgusted face and asked me Why did you bring me to see this" Rose told Luka making him laugh.
"Poor guy," Luka said amused by the blonde's story.
"I couldn't know that either, I just told him the movie was about a Jewish man, that feel in love with a non-Jewish girl"
"I still found the movie pretty funny. His mother mostly" Lila said making Kagami chuckle.
"Right, she really was hilarious" Agreed the Japan decedent girl.
"She's open up girls. she's opening up!" Announced Aurore running at the girls grabbing them by the shoulder.
"Who's opening up?" Asked Kagami looking at Lila and Rose, that shrugged their shoulders in response to the birthday girl. The four girls at the bar turned around to see Mireille sitting on the coffee table and Aurore sat down next to her.
"Okay now you can tell it"
"No, I think no one cares about it," Mireille said a little embarrassed.
"Come, they sure would love to hear, what you're saying right?" Asked Marinette looking at the other girls, that nodded including Luka.
"Uhm if you want I can leave you all alone," Luka said leaving the bar and picking his guitar while he was on the way to his room.
"Jean finally asked me out," Mireille said and half of the girls jumped up in the air.
"That's great!" Shouted Lila.
"Congratulation" Kagami wished along with Rose and Juleka.
"Does it mean, that you're now dating?" Questioned Alya.
"Yeah" Responded the half-Chinese girl making the girls go aww.
"That's amazing," Ondine said picking a cookie up from a plate, that lied on the coffee table.
"Jean is a good guy," Aurore said to the blue-haired girl. "He's definitely a keeper"
"Aurore do you have anyone, you would like to get asked out?" Asked Myléne looking up at the former participant of the weather girl competition.
"There's Adrien, but I don't think he's interested in me" The blonde with the pigtails responded.
"What about you Ondine, you and Kim are very good friends. Is there something more about it?" Asked Alya making the girl turn red.
"Oh, there is!" Lila said clapping with her hands.
"There is, but I think he still hasn't figured out, that I'm in love with him. He thinks it's someone else"
"He's probably still trying to get any closer to me, but I'm waiting for Adrikins to ask me out"
"Has anyone else realized that every second girl has or had a crush on Adrien?" Asked the pink-haired girl looking at Rose and Juleka.
"Well, he's the XY of modeling and also a teen like all us" Responded Myléne. "Nearly all girls at school love him"
"Yeah" Agreed Ondine.
"I already seen around the internet people writing fanfictions about themselves and Adrien, isn't this kind of creepy?" Asked Aurore making Marinette and Chloé smile embarrassed.
"That's...totally ridiculous…."
"Utterly ridiculous…." Chloé said taking her smartphone out and deleting three documents of her word saying The Life as an Agreste.
"There are worse parts on the internet don't worry" Alya assured the girls.
"Lila, what about you and Nathaniel?" Asked Marinette.
"What do I and Nathaniel have?" Asked Lila making Kagami and Rose laugh.
"You don't need to lie to us. We know, that you're in love with him" Marinette pointed out. "Rose said so," The blue-eyed girl said making Rose grin in embarrassment at Marinette's revelation.
"Rose! That was our secret"
"Don't be such a drama queen," Rose said with a giggle.
"All of us know you're in love with him. Juleka and Rose even know he's in love with you" Kagami assured making Lila cross her arms.
"You're saying that just to make me feel better"
"Ask Juleka" Added the Japanese girl. "She's the one, who told us that"
"Is this real?" Asked Lila gazing at Juleka, who nodded back.
"My brother said so." Responded Juleka. "Remember last Christmas we had to pick from a vase a secret Santa?"
"Yes, he had me and gave me this armband" Lila explained lifting her arm up showing the silver-colored bracelet.
"He was supposed to tell you with a card, that he loves you but he somehow lost the card and then you only got the bracelet from him"
"Oh no I didn't know that," Lila said sad holding her other hand at her bracelet thinking about the little failure Nathaniel had done with the job.
"Don't worry, he will have more chances to tell you that, don't worry" Kagami assured her friend while petting her on the shoulder.
"I could ask him out too, but I don't know if he would feel bad about me doing this step instead of him"
"Nathaniel wants to impress you in many ways and always tries the hardest to success."
"He really is a sweetheart"
"When I came to the pajama party here I thought we would be pillow fighting, watching a movie or something and not talk about boys," Alix said picking a pillow hitting it on Myléne's head. "And don't worry Lila, the Nathaniel I know won't give up easily on you"
"Yeah, I believe you that," Lila said getting up taking a pillow and hitting Kagami on her head.
"Hey!" Kagami shouted making Lila laugh, then the brown-eyed girl took another pillow and hit Lila with it.
"Pillow fight!" Rose yelled loud rising up from behind the couch with a pillow, then got hit by Juleka with another pillow and all the girls started to pillow fight each other.
"Be careful with your nails" Hissed Chloé as Sabrina hit her with a smaller pillow on the head, making the redhead stop.
"Excuse me" Apologized Sabrina, then Chloé smirked and hit Sabrina on the face making her lose her glasses and fell down the floor.
"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" Asked the blonde looking shocked at her friend, that quickly sat up half dizzy from the hit.
"I'm great"
"Don't scare me like that ever again, I thought I had killed you" Chloé exclaimed making Sabrina laugh, then Chloé rolled her eyes at Sabrina after more seconds as Sabrina kept laughing Chloé couldn't help herself and start to laugh too.
"Hey girls, shouldn't we be a little quiet because of Luka?" Asked Marinette. "He went before into his room"
"He must be listening to music, he's always listening to music, when he's all by himself at school" Ondine explained the blue-haired Chinese girl.
"He could also be asleep" Myléne walking at Luka's room then saw him sleeping on his bed with his headphones plugged into his ears. "I think he's sleeping while listening to music"
Alix wide her eyes and looked at Lila and Kagami.
"Hey, girls, I have an amazing idea in mind, wanna hear?" Asked Alix and Lila nodded, while Kagami shook her head.
"Yes," The brunette replied.
"No" Responded Kagami after Lila's answer.
"Juleka can you bring us your makeup box?" Asked the pink-haired girl earning a nod from the tall raven-haired girl.
Later Lila stood at the side of Luka's bed, while Alix was on the other side on his bed putting makeup on Luka's face. All the girls were watching and grinning amazed at the sight of how Luka was turning after the girl's improving his looks.
"Luka's face looks similar to Marc's," Marinette said earning a nod from Rose.
"Who's Marc?" Asked Sabrina looking at the other girls.
"That guy, that's always sitting under the stairs writing Ladybug stories" Explained Alya. "He's usually wearing a red hoodie"
"That's Marc?" Asked Chloé surprised. "He looks like a girl"
"He's a genderfluid if I'm correct" Explained the Martinic girl.
"What does this mean?" Asked Chloé not understanding, that what the brown-skinned girl said.
"I don't know how to explain that, I personally don't get it either"
"Maybe you could ask him that?"
"Nah it's okay. It's a waste of time"
"Who knows, maybe you and Marc have anything in common?" Marinette suggested.
"Forget it, I'm still waiting for the right person to come and maybe that's in a few years, who knows"
"Have you got hair tint for his hair?" Asked Alix looking at Juleka, who shook her head.
"No"
"Did you really want him to look like Marc?" Asked Aurore.
"It was worth a try" The short girl responded, then shrieked as Luka got up and all girls shrieked and Alix jumped off over the boy on the ground and Lila got pulled by Kagami away from him.
"We're screwed Lila," Kagami said, then all started to laugh at the sight of Luka.
"Why are you all in my room?" Asked Luka, then Rose held her smartphone with the front camera turned on for Luka to see himself. "Whoa"
"You look amazing," Alix said making the others laugh.
"I don't really look that bad," Luka said, then he sat up taking a picture.
"Wait, the makeup artists need to be present too," Alix said sitting next to Luka on the bed followed by Lila.
Kagami chuckled at seeing the three taking a selfie with the rouged teen boy.
"I think I'm gonna snap this" Luka said posting it online.
"You really look like the older version of Marc, you just needed to change your clothes and color your hair fully black," Marinette said making Juleka's brother nod.
"Now whose turn is it to get a new look?" Asked Luka then Kagami pointed at Lila and Alix held Lila on her arms along with Rose.
"What no!" Lila said and Kagami took with a brush a dark color and painted Lila's eyelid while she had closed it for her, still struggling a bit.
"If I turn out awful, I'm making you look like the walking dead!"
"Don't worry, you'll turn out great" Kagami promised with a giggle, then Ondine picked up an orange lipstick and waited until Kagami was done with her part.
Hours later the girls were all dressed in their pajamas and spread around the houseboat all wrapped up in their sleeping bags. Kagami was in the same room as Rose, Juleka and Lila inside their own bags talking with each other.
"I wanted to thank you all again for making this the birthday of my life," Kagami said looking at Rose, Juleka and Lila.
"Yet" Corrected Lila making her friend chuckle.
"If you allow me to paint you as Ladybug next year, yeah"
"Not gonna happen," Lila said crossing her arms jokingly.
"Great, then I'll paint you as the Evillustrator, that's probably better right?"
"I see, that I need to organize another makeup artist for the wedding hein?"
"We're still sixteen and you're already planning your future?" Asked Alix sneaking inside her green sleeping back into the room like a snake.
"I want to get married in the future, I don't know about you girls"
"Me too," Rose said holding her arm up in the air.
"My mother wants me to get married. Until I'm 20, she wants me to already have found somebody, if not she's looking for someone from other families"
"That's bullshit with these arranged weddings. Don't they know their kids have their own rights?" Alix said taking a spot between Kagami and Rose.
"Some parents just don't matter their children's choices. They rather want to see your kids with someone together, than someone that….you know….could make your parents feel embarrassed or something" Kagami said. "Example, they would feel ashamed if I was interested in to a woman instead or someone from lower classes"
"Like Nathaniel?" Asked Rose earning a nod from the Japanese girl.
"Nathaniel isn't very low down. He's just a lone child and only his mother is raising him….Also, he's Jewish and if my dad knew I loved someone from another religion, he'd kill me"
"But now you do love one" Alix pointed out. "What are you going to do later about that?"
"There's my mother. She already met him and likes him"
"Does she also know, he's Jewish?" Asked Kagami.
"No, but she would not turn like my dad if she discovered it"
"I think religions don't matter to my mother unless I had to convert into their religion instead"
"I don't know," Lila said lying down in her bag, then wide her eyes and got up. "What about Adrien Agreste?" Asked the Italian looking at her friend.
"Lila get some sleep," Kagami asked turning her head away from her at Alix, which glared at her seriously.
"Talk" Alix directed the word at the Japanese girl.
"What?" Asked the blue-haired girl. "I don't have a crush on Adrien….oh c…."
"Got ya!" Lila said along with Rose and Juleka.
"Alright, alright I admit it. I also have a crush on him like everyone else"
"I knew it!" Lila shouted jumping with her sleeping bag. "I knew soon or later you would end up falling in love with him"
"It's nearly one in the morning and Lila is still this hyper" Alix said plugging her earplugs into her ears putting the music on shuffle. "Wake me up, when it's all over"
"Okay," Rose said twitching inside her bag together before she closed her eyes to sleep. "Good night Juleka"
"Night Rose" Wished Juleka doing the same as Rose did.
"Good night girls" Wished Kagami, then looked back at Lila that kept looking at the Japanese friend. "I like Adrien if you want to hear that" Whispered Kagami to the brunette. "I just didn't go any further, cause he still hasn't forgotten about his crush"
"Right I'm so sorry about this"
"It's okay, maybe soon or later I'll meet someone over the way who's meant for me"
"Who knows, maybe you already met him," Lila said making Kagami chuckle.
"Who Luka?"
"Maybe?"
"You're crazy"
"You don't need to tell me something, I already know"
"Of course not," Kagami said shaking her head. "Good night"
"Good night Kagami," Lila said closing her eyes along with her friend, then later they managed to fall asleep.
