Her answer was still no to Ayla's plan. But knowing the other girl far too well, Marinette knew she wouldn't give up or take no for an answer…

A cold chill ran down Marinette's spine, and it wasn't because it was cold.

Chapter 3- Crossing a Line

Alya would not quit. For the whole day, this went on and Marinette wasn't sure whether to be seriously annoyed- or scared. Alya Césaire would just not give in.

Lunch that day was a relatively normal lunch (other than the fact Adrien was sitting with the three). Half way through the hour of eating, laughing and joking, Marinette got up from the fours lunch table looking at her phone in frustration as the battery died.

"Hey! Where're you going?" Alya called from the table, still with her mouth full of pasta.

"Need to speak to my brother."

Alya raised her eyebrows in interest.

"To tell him he doesn't have to wait for me tonight since I'm with you guys."

"Can't you just text him?"

"I wish, but my phone died." The blue-eyed girl sighed dramatically.

"Don't tell me you forgot to charge it, again?"

Marinette didn't need to answer because the guilty expression on her face said it all.

Her friend just rolled her eyes smiling and turned back to the conversation on the table just as Adrien called out behind Mari,

"Oh yeah, can you tell my sister too?"

The black head turned around on one foot rubbing the back of her neck profusely, "err, y-yeah- sure Adrien!"

With a little skip and a jog, Marinette walked away from the table with a blush blooming across her face. She really had to get a grip of herself, honestly!

It didn't take long to find Martin and Annabelle. They were sat where they always sit with they're group of friends, behind the bike sheds, using a broken-down wall to rest their food, sit and chat. Of course, when Annabelle needed to do her photoshoots like her brother they would of course stay clear of the old wall. But Anna had always been the most rebellious out of the two young Agrestes', always the most sassy and quick witted. Adrien had always looked up to his older sister, the way she stood up for herself with their father and other people, the way she had never had any trouble in making friends and had banter with everyone, the way she didn't care about what anyone said about her, the way she was so head strong and independent yet, still kind to almost everyone. She was just one of those people who most people admired and wanted to be. It was surprising to everyone that she hadn't ever had a boyfriend. Mind you, neither had Adrien. Most people shipped her together with Marinette's brother, Martin, but that would never happen. Those two were too close in friendship to go anywhere. They had passed the choice to take things further along time ago. But anyway, Martin had a boyfriend- Luka Couffaine. Luka was also a part of the group that hung around the old wall, along with Marlene Kurtzberg (Nathaniel's older sister).

Marinette approached the relaxed group of four, clearing her throat to announce her presence. Martin was first to lift up his head and face his younger sister.

"Mimi!" He exclaimed pushing off Luka who laid on his lap peacefully. Mari hugged her brother back after her wrapped her up in a tight squeeze.

"See! I told you that you give Marinette more attention than me!"

"Ah, shut up Luka." Martin threw his beanie hat at his boyfriend who was pouting mockingly.

"So, why 'ya here Mari?" Marin drove his attention back to Marinette, taking a seat next to Annabelle, the blonde braiding Marlene's hair.

"I just needed to tell you not to wait for me after school. I'm off out with Alya, Nino and Adrien. And he told me to you that too Anna."

The pretty blonde looked up and gave the younger teen a smile, "Yeah, that's cool."

"I've gotta go now." Marinette waved to the group of four as they all waved back.

She got back to her lunch table and the afternoon carried on as normal. All the lessons she had were silly ones. Watching films, doing art or messing around in the IT rooms. The sound of that school bell ringing at the end of the day- end of the school year- was music to everyone's ears. Piling out into the swelling corridors, all you could hear where the whoops and cheers of students, some books flying in the air and Marinette swore she saw someone's shoe…

After escaping the swarm of teens outside the school, she heard the familiar call of her name from her left. Alya hugged her before slapping Nino on the back for some swift, humorous remark.

"So, are we all ready?" Alya asked and was responded with nods from all three of her friends. "Okay, then let's move it!"

"Where exactly are we going?" Nino questioned trotting alongside Alya's quick paced strut.

"I'm thinking 'Hereditary', ice cream and then the park outside of Mari's?"

"I'm definitely gonna need ice cream after if we're watching that film!" Marinette shivered, never really being a fan of horror films.

"Don't worry Marinette," Alya turned around to look at her and Adrien walking side by side and smirked deviously, "you've got Adrien to cuddle up next to…"

Marinette's heart dropped to her stomach, not daring to look Adrien in the eye. Her face was flushed and painted beat-red with embarrassment and anger at her friend.

Adrien wasn't fazed by the comment though and put his arm around Marinette's already tense body, teasing, "don't worry Marinette, you can cuddle me any time you want."

She could have fainted right then and there, but that would be too much of a giveaway. Alya and Nino bit back chesty laughter, Adrien on the other hand just letting it all out, dropping his arm from Mari to hold his stomach.

"I hate you guys!" She groaned from gritted teeth, giggling a little herself, mainly just to hide the utter shame grasping her from Adrien.

Conversations continued as if what happened never did, but to Marinette, her emotions just kept crashing inside of her. She had her right mind to yell at Alya, but couldn't exactly without looking like a complete drama queen. If this was under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have been so mad at her friend. It was just that Marinette knew Alya's intentions with that statement and she had had enough of it. Her answer was no.

They got to the cinema just missing the adverts and sat down in seats towards the back of the room. They weren't 15 yet, but could easily lie about their age since they were only a year younger. Alya made sure that Adrien and Marinette were sat next to each other having the order be herself, Marinette, Adrien and Nino.

As soon as the film began to roll, Marinette took her only chance to talk to Alya.

"I really didn't like what you did back there." She whispered almost silently.

"What do you mean? I got you a hug from him so be grateful."

"No, Alya. You only did what you did to hint that I liked him! Oh and by the way, I'm not asking him. I'll say it again if you need to hear it."

"Yes, you are Mari. It's so obvious he likes you!"

"Look, I'm done talking about it."

The red head rolled her eyes looking back at the large screen. Marinette was going to it.

And she would make sure of that.
