"Hey Girl!"
Marinette turned at the call and wasn't surprised to see that it was none other than her best friend Alya.
"Hi, Alya!"
Alya grabbed Marinette's arm and then dragged her into some of the bushes by the school's entrance.
"What, Alya what are you-OW." Marinette mumbled complaints to her friend as she tried to avoid being scratched by every single plant there was.
"So girl how do you feel? Today's the big day! No backing out on me now."
Marinette winced and nervously bit her lip. "Well I feel a little scared but, I think I can do this."
Alya smiled and hugged Marinette. "That's my girl," Alya cooed proudly.
Marinette still couldn't believe that today was the day when she would tell Adrien her feelings for him. She didn't know what to expect. But, she definitely knew who to blame. Cough, cough Alya. Marinette tightened her grip on Adrien's gift as she saw his car pull up to the school. She watched as Adrien stepped out of the silver vehicle, slammed the door and then went over to Nino.
"You can do this," Marinette chanted to herself.
"It's your time to shine girl. You can do it," Alya practically pushed Marinette out of the bushes and towards Adrien. Marinette's arms pinwheeled as she managed to right herself before she turned and glared at Alya's smug face. Why was Alya staring at-OH NO. Adrien had seen Marinette almost fall and was walking towards her.
"Hey Marinette, are you okay?'
"Oh, yeah, u-um-um hi- hi- hi Adrien. I'm doing fine! I mean fine am I? I mean I'm okay!"
Adrien gave her a confused look. "Um, Marinette, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yup."
Marinette turned and was about to make a break for it when she saw Alya glare at her and make a series of confusing hand motions.
Then Marinette's purse popped open and a tiny voice said, "You can do it Marinette."
Come on Marinette she thought to herself, your Ladybug a superhero who fight evil villains. This is just a boy. It should be a piece of cake. Marinette took a deep breath before she turned around.
"Oh yeah, Adrien I made you for this I mean this for you." Marinette thrust her gift at him, her face going beet red.
"Oh, thanks Marinette. That was really nice of you."
Adrien was turning around, probably about to leave, that gave Marinette one more chance. She had to do it now.
"I like you!" Marinette practically yelled the sentence at him. Then everything was quiet.
Adrien just stared at her, and so did everyone else.
The silence was thick and seemed to swallow everything. Adrien was just staring at her his eyes wide as he struggled to think of what to say to her.
"Look, I'm really sorry Marinette, but I like someone else."
'Ohh that girl just got burned. Wow, what a put down' the buzz of whispers filled the air.
"It's-It's okay," Marinette managed to squeak. Tears threatened to fall out of her eyes.
"And cut. Great scene Maritrash, but you see Adrikins is just too good for you. Not to mention he's mine." All heads turned to Chloe who was wearing an evil smirk and holding her phone up.
"Wait until I show everyone this," Chloe said taking her finger off of the record button.
The bell that started first period started to ring and everyone started to move except for Marinette, Adrien, Alya and Nino. For them time seemed to stop. Marinette's eyes were full of tears and she barely seemed to register the sound of the bell.
