"Hi Lila"

Adrien slowly approached the brunette who was standing in a corner of the courtyard. Once she met his emerald eyes with her own olive-green ones, she quickly broke the gaze to glance around the courtyard and make sure no-one else was there.

"Hi. Listen, I don't have time, so I'm going to cut to the chase. I can tell that you're a nice person, and I used to be a nice person too. I used to be like Chloe, but then she found out something about me that I didn't want her to share, so I joined her side. At first, I tried to take over, but that made them hate me even more. So I learned that the best thing is to do what she says and dress like a barbie doll. I don't want to be mean to people, so I don't encourage her. But I don't get on her bad side. Just some advice, be her puppet, be her backup dancer, but never take center stage."

She smiled from behind her hair, which was longer than the short skirt and orange jacket she wore. She saluted him with one finger and then walked off.

Adrien was left in her wake, his whole world turned upside down.

Until Chloe showed up.

"Adrikins! We're gonna go on a date now! Let's go get some ice cream from Andre, what do you say, honey? I'm so glad you loved me enough to dump Maritrash."

Adrien nodded, smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes. He looked at the back of Lila's note, in an effort to avoid Chloe's blinding blue eyes. And he found her phone number, scrawled in the bottom corner.

Finally, he was able to smile with his eyes.
