Dear Diary-

Today I totally showed off my acrobatic skills, just like I do with Ladybug! The best part – I did it right in front of Adrien!

Ok, so, "show off" might be a strong phrase. It was, well, completely an accident. And, uh, totally EMBARRASSING.

So Alya and I were passing notes to each other. It was the normal topics, "What did you get for question 10?", "Did you see what Chloe did this morning?", "Wasn't Rose's outfit so cute today?" (it is everyday, idk…you think it's cute once, you think it for every day after, you know what I mean? Our clothes don't really change...), etc. After we filled a whole page (it was such a slooooow day today), we started another one, and I should have known Alya was up to something ('cause she usually always is). The first thing she wrote to me was, When are you going to ask Adrien out? EEEEEEKK!, right? I accidentally poked a huge whole in my worksheet with my pencil when I read that. But...Adrien wasn't going to see it, right? So I wrote back:

Oh, right now! I'll just send him a note that says, "Hey, Hot Stuff. When we going to the movies, Model Boy?" ;) ;) ;).

I shouldn't have written that. Even though it made me laugh inside, I should NOT have written that and SENT IT BACK TO ALYA. I will never trust her with notes again. She took one look at the note, then at me, then smiled evilly, folded up the note and "accidentally" flicked the it into the bench in front of us. AHHHHH! Nino and Adrien immediately looked down, and I was frozen solid! I'm pretty sure my squeal of embarrassment reached a higher-than-we-can-actually-hear-pitch (thank goodness, really). The boys looked at each other and then back at us, and I gave them very clear indications that they were under NO CIRCUMSTANCES open that note! (I shook my head and made an 'x' with my arms over and over.) So, naturally, they both grinned, and Adrien picked up the note. But that was it. I couldn't stand it anymore – he could NOT read that note! So I did what any self-respecting person would do…I flipped over my desk and right into a seated position in the bench below. Adrien still held the note in his hand, but he looked too shocked to move, so I plucked it from his fingers and then sat calmly, ready for my punishment from the teacher.

And can you believe it? Miss Bustier gave me detention. Apparently the excuse of, "Defending my honor!" is not a thing to her. Oh well. I can deal with that. Alya thought it was hilarious. And Tikki says that she did too. Ugh.

Spots Off – Marinette xoxo
