[Not enough reviews to write down]
When Marinette walked into the courtyard at school the next day, she found a bunch of students gathered around Alya and her laptop. There was a lot of whispering going on.
"Hey, Nino. What's going on?", she asked quietly.
"Security cams caught Ladybug and Cat Noir's argument on top of the Eiffel Tower last night. It's a serious bummer that Cat Noir is cutting off their friendship."
"And it's all my fault", Marinette thought to herself.
Adrien came into school looking absolutely shattered. He was sluggish in class, which was odd since he was usually a vigorous student, and he barely ever spoke to anyone unless spoken to first. Marinette worried about her crush. When class let out for lunch, she and Alya walked together and talked.
"Girl, Adrien looks down in the dumps. You should go talk to him and find out what's wrong?"
"What? Me? No no no. I'd probably say something or do something stupid and make him feel worse. You should ask Nino to talk to him."
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng. You. Adrien. Now", the amateur journalist commanded her like an angry mother. The raven-haired girl gulped nervously and walked towards Adrien, leaving Alya with a smug grin on her face.
Adrien was just getting some things out of his locker when he heard a voice behind him.
"A-Adrien?"
He turned around and managed to crack a smile, albeit a weak one.
"Hey, Marinette."
"Um...are you okay? I mean it's fine if you don't wanna tell me because I know it's none of my business I just wanted to make sure you were alright because you seem really sad and I...yeah", she blurted out incredibly fast. Adrien shrugged and responded, "I'm okay, I guess. Could be better, though."
The girl sighed and let her head hang. She wished there was some way she could help Adrien feel better. She was surprised when he closed his locker and picked up her chin, looking into her bluebell eyes. "Hey, how about we go get lunch together?"
Me...lunch...with Adrien?!
"Yes!! I'd lunch love get to with you!!! I mean...I'd love to get lunch with you."
I messed up again. Where's that Ladybug confidence when I need it?
Adrien chuckled and took her hand. "Great. Let's go."
