Chapter 19

I do not own miraculous ladybug

Just as he wants to leave the room his father walks in. His father doesn't look happy. Not that he normally wears a smile on his face. Adrien just knows that when he has this kind of face he is annoyed about something. Since it is directed at him, Adrien guesses he heard something from Maylena.

''Adrien we need to talk.'' His father says with an authorise tone.

''Can it wait?'' Adrien tries.

''No.'' And so Adrien sits down.

''I got called today by the manager of one of my new models, Maylena.'' He begins. Adrien rolls his eyes. Ofcourse. But his father glares at him for doing that.

'' I got word that one of your friends made her fall on the ground when she was just talking to you. '' Adrien wants to interrupt but the gaze his father gives him doesn't let him.

''This is not what I had in mind when I let you have today off. I bet this friend is just like that Nino?''

''It was another friend. Maylena was harassing me and Marinette helped me get away from her!'' Adrien shouts clearly angry that his father would talk about his friends like this.

''Adrien Agreste, how dare you talk like that to me, where are your manners?''

His father shakes his head. ''You will apologize to Maylena when you two have lunch together.''

''Father!.'' Adrien tries to interrupt. But his father doesn't let him speak. ''No, you will. You will also stop hanging out with these so called friends. They only have a bad influence on you. Adrien can you not see that? Maybe I should have you home schooled again just in case. You can go now.'' His father gestures with his hand.

''But!''

''That's it, you can go now.''

Angry Adrien runs towards his room. Why is he like this? Why can he not stand up to himself like Marinette, Chloe or Ladybug? Why can he not say what he wants like Nino can or Alya? Why can't he be the real him..whoever that is? Why does he always listen to his father like..like some kind of puppet, a doll. Tears stream down Adrien's face. He hates this part of him. How could anyone like this part of him?
