First off, so sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I was recently in an area without good cell service. Thank you all for your patience though! You guys rock!
So, here is the next chapter, hope you like it!
Enjoy!
Always, WOBE.
"Have you ever found out something that you think you shouldn't know?" Adrien asked, resting his chin in his hand.
"Oh no! Dude, whatcha do this time?" Nino asked his best friend, pulling the book he was reading down from in front of his face.
In order to keep their grades up, the teen boy duo had come up with studying after school for an hour on various subjects on Wednesdays, where life currently found them.
"Nothing! Why is it, that whenever I start a conversation like this, your first instinct is to always think that I went and did something unbelievably horrid?" the blonde asked, crossing his arms over his chest, a look of indignation on his face.
"Because, you usually DO do something totally whack when you start a conversation like that. Plus, you used words like, 'undeniably horrid'. No one uses lingo like that bro!"
"I said unbelievably," Adrien muttered, crossing his arms and resting them on the table, his face placed atop them, his expression nothing but pure dejection.
"Sorry dude!" Nino said, putting down his book on the table. "What's going on?"
"Well, I recently found out something, and I am pretty sure that I wasn't meant to know it. But I feel like if I tell this person that I know what I know, they might just get upset with me, so much so, that they might cut all ties with me, never wanting to see or speak to me again, and I will be forced to change my name and move to China!"
Nino raised his eyebrows after his friend had finished his tirade.
"Are you done?" the dark-skinned boy asked.
Adrien nodded.
"Good, cause, Dude!" immediately, Nino broke into peals of laughter.
Adrien let out a frustrated sigh, glaring at his friend from just above his folded arms.
"Woah! Sorry Dude! Take it easy!"
The blonde took a deep breathe trying to calm his nerves, and lifted his head from the table, running a shaky hand through his golden locks.
"Sorry. I just really need some good advice,"
"I know, but I mean, c'mon Dude! You're asking me for advice! I'm a teenage guy! And seriously? I have never heard you squeeze so many words in thirty seconds before!"
"Who do suggest I go to for advice instead then?" Adrien countered, his arms once again folded.
"Touché," said the dark-skinned teen, pointing at his friend for emphasis.
"So how can I help Man?" Nino asked, adjusting his baseball hat.
"I just need to know what to do about knowing her secret,"
"Ahhh! So it's a girl then!"
"No! What made you think that?" Adrien sputtered, jumping on the defensive.
"Umm, when you said the word 'her'? Maybe? I'm not sure. Maybe I am reading way too much into this," Nino said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable he spoke.
A glare seemed to be the only expression that Adrien could conjure up for his friend today.
Nino simply laughed "Relax! So what big secret do you know about this girl?"
"You're not even gonna ask me who she is?" Adrien asked, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Would you tell me?"
"No,"
"Well then, case in point,"
It didn't matter how he thought things would turn out, Nino would always surprise Adrien in one way or another.
"Now, back to my previous question. What secret do you know, that you apparently think it's a
Crime to know?" Nino questioned for the second time, folding his arms and laying them on top of the table.
Adrien sighed.
"Well, I cant really tell you that,"
"Wait," Nino paused raising a hand to keep the blonde from continuing further. "So let me get this straight. You, know something you don't think you should know, about a girl whose name you can not tell me, and to top it off, you can't even tell me the secret?"
Adrien nodded. "That's about right,"
"Well that's not intimidating or anything," the dark-haired boy muttered.
"Stop mumbling! I need to know what I should do Nino!" the blonde exclaimed, his patience wearing thin.
"Hmmmm," Nino hummed, tapping his chin in thought.
"You go up to her, most likely in a place that you know pretty well, but she doesn't,"
"Whats the point of that?" Adrien asked skeptically.
"It's so she can't have an escape route, now stop interrupting,"
Adrien made a motion with his hand to simulate zipping his lips.
"Good. Then, you start a normal, typical conversation. After that, you try and get any information regarding this secret, like how many people know about it or something like that, then go from there. If it's well-known, you don't have to worry, and if it's not, then find someone else to help you rethink your life choices,"
"That's," Adrien paused, thinking about what his best friend had just told him. "Actually really good advice Nino. Thanks!"
"No problem! They don't call me Doc Resolve for nothing!" Nino said proudly, adjusting his hat and then crossing his arms across his chest.
Adrien's eyes slitted in complete disbelief.
"Seriously?" questioned Adrien.
"What?"
"No one calls you that. Ever,"
"Doesn't mean I can't have a little fun! Besides, when my technique works,"
"If your technique works," the blonde interrupted.
"Yeah. When it works, you will want to refer people to me, and just 'Nino', doesn't cut it man,"
Adrien shook his head, but the smile that broke out across his face was proof that he was indeed pleased with his friend's advice.
Adrien's phone suddenly beeped happily, signally the end of the study hour and the fact that he needed to go. "I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow Nino! And thanks for the advice!"
"Like I said Dude, no problem! Go get em! And remember, you can send any problem to Doc Resolve!" Nino called after the blonde as he got further and further away.
"Change the name!" Adrien called back, waving over his shoulder.
When he was out of sight, Adrien ducked into the bathroom, and into a stall.
"C'mon Plagg!" he called to his Kwami, opening his white shirt to let him out.
"What are we doing?" asked the tiny, black creature, floating out of his hiding spot.
"Putting Nino's advice to the test! Plagg, Claws Out!"
