I have no idea of fencing. Sorry for any mistakes I may make regarding that. Also for traslation mistakes.
I forgot to say: This is a translation of Spanish made by me. The original story is also mine.
It's been a week since I first fought as Queen Bee. Social networks have been burning ever since. People make theories and talk about us non-stop, television has done reports about us. I've seen my classmates become Queen Bee fans while they hate me. But with all this has come the massive concern about who is Hawk Moth, why he attacks and about Ivan.
Unlike me, Ivan has been recognized as Stoneheart. They've been coming to class all week to annoy us and be annoying, not just with Ivan, but with the whole class. We are fed up with the stalkers on television and those who are not. I'll tell my father to do something, I've had enough.
I get out of the limo in front of the school. Like every day since the akumatization, there are a lot of journalists in front of the entrance of the institute, accompanied by people with anxiety and paranoia. Do they really think that silly Ivan is a terrorist?
"Chloe! Chloe! As the mayor's daughter, what do you think of the terrorist attack committed by your classmate, Ivan Bruel?" A annoying journalist approaches me. I do not intend to make an official statement.
"As the mayor's daughter I think you should brush your teeth sometime in your life. You suck." I answer with my favorite sardonic smile. I don't wait for him to answer and move on.
The journalists cannot prevent us from entering the school, so they stay at the door while I enter.
When I get to class, the first thing I hear is one of the new girls talking about me, I mean, about Queen Bee. She is by far the one who has become most obsessed with us. She created a blog and called it Super Triple Blog, because apparently people call us Triple Super. A ridiculous name, but people are ridiculous.
That girl is sitting next to Marionette, who since she has no personality, has become her shadow. She disgusts me! Today she is even more disgusting than usual, with her fake goody-goody smiles and trying to stick to Adrien. And he, being the fool that he is, doesn't even realize the bitch he's talking to.
I sit in my seat. Alix greets me, as always, and I ignore her, as always. I'm not alone anymore. I finally have a loyal friend who accompanies me everywhere and right now she is in my bag. I'm actually happy, my life has improved a bit since I met Pollen. And now, a lot of people in the city love me.
Pollen cares about me and tries to get to know me. It is not a weather vane, like everyone else in this class. It's what I've wanted since Sabrina got in a fight with me and stopped being my friend. That has been two years and only now have I been able to find someone to accompany me as she did. But I will not be sad, she abandoned me and does not cry for traitors.
"Hey, Chloe," Alix again. "Kagami is having a competition today and I convinced her to invite you."
"Why would I want to go to the competition of the new one?"
"Because it's Adrien's too. And because you could have a good time. We'll be both."
She's being nice. And why not? She is a good girl.
But not me.
"You and I are not friends. Don't talk like I'm glad you're going." I respond haughtily. I don't want to be friends with any of these fake ones.
Her smile falls and her lips tighten. After many rejections to the constant chatter, I finally won.
"You know what? I don't give a shit. I can't take it anymore, I'm not Marinette. I don't get involved in the lives of others. I'm not an angel." Is Marionette supposed to be? If she is an angel, I am fat. "If you wanna stay alone and bitter forever, then do it." Alix turns and starts talking to Max. But hadn't they fought? Why does everyone reconcile quickly except me?
Is rare. I've finally gotten rid of the annoying Alix, but it doesn't feel as good as I expected. Like my chest hurts. Is she as fake as the rest? On her birthday she said everything she thought about the hypocrisy of the class. The truth is that it would have been nice to spend time with people.
It's okay, I have Pollen.
When Kagami arrives, she walks straight to my seat and stands in front of me.
"Today I am having a fencing competition. I invite you to come see me."
"At what time is it?"
Why do I ask if I have the whole afternoon free?
"At six o'clock."
She is serious. Is this girl ever smiling? Although I don't do it much either.
"Ah, well, that time it turns out that I have it free. I will go."
"I will put you in the chat of the assistants. In it you will find the GPS link of the place."
Kagami sits up as Alix turns and gives me her trademark crooked smile. She has deceived me! Bitch.
The teacher enters and class begins. But I can't concentrate. Getting together with people again is a big change and this time I have to be kinder if I don't want to miss the opportunity. Wait, the one who has insisted so much on this knows how edge I am. Do I have to change the way I behave?
I do not know what to do.
And then there is Adrien. I had been waiting for years for Adrien to be in my class. He is my best friend from childhood and I thought that when he was finally here we would be even more friends. Instead, after the first day, he behaves as if I don't exist. All day talking to DJ Shit, Marionette and Shrill Snooper.
The rest of the day is spent thinking, not paying attention to the lessons and touching up my makeup between class and class. By the time they are finished, I realize I haven't even checked out the books all day. This is bullshit.
I have to get good grades. I am the mayor's daughter, I have to have an image, and the notes are part of it. And since Sabrina left me, I have to be the one doing the homework and studying for the exams. I am not the best in the class, not to mention a joke, but I have managed to have a GPA in almost all the subjects.
I must be exceptional, extraordinary. My grades are not, although I try. But if we combine the grades of remarkable with being beautiful, yes I am, right?
Being beautiful is much easier, at least for me: controlling a lot the food, posture, makeup, hairstyle, exercising to have a good figure (I do rhythmic gymnastics). The problem is that if I lower my grades a bit, I'll just be another pretty girl who seems silly because she only cares about her looks.
I get into the limo and go back to looking at social media. On Instagram they are doing cosplays. Apparently mine is the most popular because these people really like black lipstick. How simple they are!
I get on Twitter. There people are making conspiracy theories. This site is geek abuzz. Triple Super has been a trending topic since day one, along with Hawk Moth, Bunnyx, Ryuko, Queen Bee and Stoneheart.
I get into the Queen Bee:
'Who is she? Just wrong answers.' Below is a picture of me. The first there is is a meme. Brilliant. It is attached to an answer. 'You are not going to find out the identity of Queen Bee.'
'The Heroines of Paris: Bunnyx, Ryuko and Queen Bee.' A newspaper article.
'For example, Queen Bee, she has yellow skin. If you look closely, you will see that it is not makeup but her skin tone-' I step fron reading someone analyzing my appearance.
'Famous who look like Queen Bee.' is a thread with photos. I won't be there, right? I just started, it would suck to get caught so fast. Looking at the thread I see photos of actresses and models, from 15 to 30. Do they really not realize that I am a teenager? But all of them are very pretty. I'll take it as a compliment. "Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of the mayor of Paris" Here I am. To see the comments.
'Yes they look alike.' Sure, because I am.
'I never realized how pretty this girl is.' How could you not realize? Wait a minute, how old are you?
'Are you crazy?' Hey? 'I know her personally and she could never be a hero. She's mean, petty, edge. A complete prick who thinks she's superior to everyone else. She's nothing compared to Queen Bee. QB is kind, beautiful and strong. Chloe NEVER could be Queen Bee.' Who is this guy who claims to know me so well?
"Miss Bourgeois, we have arrived." says the driver.
I get out of the limo and head to my suite. When I arrive, I throw myself on my bed while looking at the profile of that guy, a certain QueenBeeFan187. He's been talking about me for a week. 'Here I have another drawing of QB' Another one? How many has he done?
But looking at his pictures I see that he has done A LOT. He claims to be a fan of mine but then he is unable to recognize my face and insults me. And does he know me personally? Who could he be?
"Don't focus too much on someone who hates you, my queen."
Pollen's voice startles me. I put my phone aside. It's true, I have other things to worry about. And this guy's hatred can keep me from being suspected.
"Do you think my meeting will be good to see Kagami compete?" I'm nervous, but Pollen reassures me with a smile.
"Of course yes. You will have a wonderful afternoon."
There is a knock on the door and the butler, Jean I don't-know-what, comes in with the food.
"Here's your lunch today, Miss Bourgeois."
It is a large plate of chicken with cream sauce, mushrooms and onion. Do I really have to eat it? How fatten up will make me this?
"How many calories does this food have?" I ask Jean.
The butler sighs before answering.
"It is very healthy, it has all the proteins and vitamins that adolescents need."
Not only is that a lie, but he has not answered what I asked. He tries to trick me into getting fat. I'm not going to do it.
"I don't care how healthy it is. Did I ask you that? No. I asked you how many calories it has." I order him. I am angry.
"Your father has chosen this dish for you today, since he cannot eat with you. It was your favorite when you were little." Jean answers sad and leaves.
I stare at the plate. I don't want to eat, I'll get fat. It took me a lot to get this waistline and I am not going to lose it to remember my childhood.
"Eat, my queen." I look at Pollen, who has already come out of hiding. "You have to eat. You haven't eaten anything since lunch yesterday."
"But this is very fattening." I reply. I don't want her to force me to get fat.
"Eat even half, please."
I hate that pleading tone. It makes me feel bad. So I eat half the plate.
After finishing, I look at the group that Kagami has put me into. There is a link with the address of the event. Gossiping who else is going. Lots of unknown numbers from the rest of the fencing team and their friends. And of the ones that I do have saved are Kagami and Alix, of course, Adrien, who is also on the team, and the trio of annoying that hang out with him: Marionette, DJ Shit and Shrill Snooper. I have the whole class saved on the agenda thanks to the group chat and I have them saved like this.
But I'm not going for Adrien, so who cares if those three go?
Seeing what they said, I have to be there at five thirty. So, I get ready: I remove my makeup, wash my face and put on a cream before putting my makeup on again. While the cream works, I look in my closet for what to wear. I don't know what is suitable for a fencing competition. I'll ask Pollen.
"What do you think is better? A short, long dress, a short, long pants, a short, long skirt, a short, long jumpsuit? And what jacket should I wear?" I look for Pollen with my eyes.
Despite being a kwami and having no eyebrows, her expression is very clear: confusion.
"I ... I think it's too cold for you to wear something short."
"Then something to wrap up a bit. Long pants and a T-shirt. Wait, what color are they? I have to watch it."
"I didn't know that hanging out people was so complicated." Pollen comments out loud.
At half past five I arrive at the place of the competition dressed in the team's colors (I didn't even know that the team has a color, but if they are going to compete it makes sense). Yes, I am wearing blue. I had a hard time finding blue things in my closet, it is not a color that suits me much, but hey.
I have painted my lips blue, instead of the typical pink. I'm wearing jeans, a white and blue striped T-shirt, dark blue low boots, an electric blue jacket (which I actually bought on the way), and my white bag. Because something has to match the glasses, right? The glasses hide the comb from the bee. How they came up with creating a prodigy with such an obvious shape, I don't know.
When I arrive, a large group of teenagers is waiting near the entrance. It is not until I see the bright pink hair that I realize that it is my high school. Most are wearing something blue, although not as blue as I do. I approach them.
"Where were you? We were waiting for you." A boy I don't know tells me.
"For me?" I am surprised. Really? Were they waiting for me? I have to have confidence. "But what do I say? Of course you were, I am the queen of Paris."
Alix rolls her eyes.
"It's because we all have to sit together. The team is already inside." answers.
We enter the building and sat on the bleachers. Somehow I end up with Alix sitting on one side and Marionette on the other. Next to her is Shrill Snooper and next to this DJ Shit. I won't tell them. I look desperately at Alix for her to say something. I think she gets it.
"Kagami will be the third of our school to fight. Our school will fight the oranges there." She points to the right corner at the back of the court.
Our team comes out and I applaud along with the others. The first to fight is Adrien. I could recognize him anywhere, even with his face covered. When they start fighting I realize that I have no idea what is going on.
"What's going on? Is he winning?" I ask Alix.
"Yes. He's about to win. According to Kagami, this is a pattern that Adrien always does. You'll see. Now." That rare scoreboard lights up and Adrien is declared the winner.
Marionette next to me jumps up and claps while yelling. Same with the other two. All the rest of us applaud sitting down, because apparently this is the way to do it. I can't help but roll my eyes at the ridiculous Marionette to get Adrien's attention.
The boy who is second loses. And then there's Kagami. She is faster than Adrien, and more agile. Their fight lasts very little because she wins very quickly.
I knew the new girl had changed schools to enter the best fencing class in Paris, she said so herself, but I didn't know she would be that good.
Alix gets up. Didn't we have to sit still?
"That's it, Kagami! Humiliate him!" she shouts. What? When have they become such friends? It's impossible, she's only been in our class for a week. The most surprising thing is that Kagami responds with a greeting.
Our high school team wins the first three rounds and Alix tells me that they will fight the purple team later. Now they are on a little break and while Alix goes to the bathroom I can't help but notice how Marionette whispers to Shrill Snooper about me.
"Why did her come? Alix has to explain everything to her. It had to be to annoy or interfere between Adrien and me, the only thing she knows how to do is make the lives of others miserable."
Shrill Snooperlooks at me, I'm pretending to read Twitter and she laughs. Why does this brat think that everything revolves around her? I have to think about what to answer and fast.
"And what have you come for? To kiss Adrien's ass? Do you really think that's how he will notice you? You are pathetic, absolutely pathetic." I can't take that brat long.
"We have come to give moral support, something with which you are not at all familiar." Shrill Snooper answers me.
"Moral support? You are not wearing anything blue." I point to my completely blue outfit. "And besides, you applaud too loudly, you are only embarrassing Adrien. Or have you seen me respond as Kagami has done with us?"
"Kagami has responded to Alix, not to you. And I'd rather not wear blue than be so hideously dressed. As a future fashion designer I have to say: Really? Stripes again? Is there nothing else in your closet? You always have to wear stripes everywhere." The way she says it sounds a bit threatening to me. Then she glances at my arms for a millisecond, long enough for Shrill Snooper not to notice. I cross my arms and squeeze them to my body, like that might protect them or something. "I really tried to help you, you can't say I didn't. It's not my problem that you're a complete mess." she does not smile, she has a frown and tight lips.
"Well, I may be obsessed with stripes, but you are much worse with points. You like them so much that your face is full of blackheads. Don't you know what a skin cleansing is?" After saying that I turn around. It's over. I don't want to argue with this garbage anymore.
Alix arrives smiling, but stops when she sees me and extends her hand next to my face. Hey? When I turn around, I see that Shrill Snooper's fist has stopped. What? Was she going to hit me?
"What are you doing?!" quarrels Alix.
"She insulted Marinette." she says.
"What do I care. You aren't going to hit her. Now sit back and stop acting like a little girl because we came here to support our school." she pauses looking past Shrill Snooper. "Everyone sit down." And until she says that, I don't realize that all the people who have come with us were looking at us.
Alix sits next to me again and gives me a crooked smile. She is delighted that everyone is listening to her. Always happens. For some reason, and despite the fact that she is very short, when she gives orders, of whatever kind, they pay attention to her.
Surely it's because people find it strange that a girl so short and (apparently) not very intimidating as she can raise her voice in that way. And she doesn't do it often, which is why it is so surprising.
It's a shame they don't pay the same attention to me as to her.
Kagami and Adrien come over to us. She, with an almost non-serious expression and him, staring at Alix. He's so cheeky that even I've realized he likes her.
A smile escapes my lips. Marioneta is sure suffering with that sight, especially because he does not look at the rest of us until they are right in front of us.
"Hello, girls." Kagami says in a somewhat forced way. She doesn't seem used to talking that way. "Are you having fun?" Yes, her tone is unnatural, as if she is trying to sound sweeter. It is exaggerated.
Alix responds in a nonchalant tone.
"Of course, that is, Chloe here doesn't find out about anything, but that's why I'm explaining it to her. I didn't know anything last week either."
"Hi, Alix." Adrien says in a tone of clear love and a peasant smile. She pretends not to notice, she's too smart not to, and waves at him.
He doesn't even look at me.
Why? What have I done to him?
No, I don't have to be sad. There is no cry for traitors.
Kagami turns to him, emphasizing the seriousness.
"I told you not to use that attack at first, other rivals saw it. You have to think more about what you are doing and not get carried away." she scolds him.
"Sorry." He makes a face like he were a primary school child who has been scolded by his teacher. "I'm going to talk to my friends now. Goodbye, Alix."
Yes, of course, Alix exists, I don't. Although it does not matter how much I suffer, Marionette does it much more and that consoles me.
"And Alix, you cannot encourage me to humiliate others."
"What? But it's fun. You're the best." she replies. Kagami crosses her arms. "Okay, okay. I won't do it anymore."
She nods and turns her face to stare at me with an exaggeratedly forced smile. Why does she do that? Does she want to tell me something? God, she's creepy. Earlier I complained that she wasn't smiling, but if these are her smiles, I hope she won't do it again.
"How about you, Chloe? Do you like it?" She stays with the smile, expectant.
I debate whether to lie to her and tell her that she is doing very well, but I don't know fencing, so I don't know if she is doing well. Lying to someone about something they know more than I do is stupid. I could do it in fashion, not in fencing. I decide to tell her the truth.
"The truth is that I don't know much about fencing, rather nothing, but it seems to me that you move very fast."
Kagami removes the forced smile, her face relaxes and she leans a little closer to me.
"Thank you." She says with a much softer tone. "And sorry for yelling at you last week, I was nervous, but you saved my mother."
Why is she apologizing? What she said was true. I was brutal and could have hurt her mother. I can't think of what to say, but Kagami is going to compete again and I don't have time to do it.
"Did I say something nice to her?" I ask Alix.
She smiles at me... proud?
"Yes, you did." Does that mean I have made the correct interaction? Yes. I'm on the right track. "Hey, what did Kagami mean by that you saved her mother?"
Oh shit. Bunnyx told us to keep it a secret, I guess so as not to alarm people, but Kagami has blurted it out so calmly. I have to make something up, anyway, Alix doesn't know what happened that day.
"Well ... her mother was choking on a piece of ... sushi and I did the Hemlich maneuver." Sounds awful. I hope she believes it.
Alix frowns in confusion. She's going to get me. I'm not very good at lying.
"Kagami's mother was eating sushi on the street?"
"Yes. That woman is weird, I mean, have you seen her?" Of course she does not behave like a normal person. And I don't mean that she's blind.
Alix widens her eyes and shakes her head. She seems disappointed. What? What have I done?
An offended voice speaks from the other side.
"How?! Did you just insult the mother of the girl who invited you here? Kagami has chosen the wrong person to hang out with. I will tell her." The irritating voice of the meddlesome Marionette intrudes.
How?! Oh no, she won't.
"Try it and I make my father close the stupid bakery of yours." I threaten her. She looks me in the eye. I hold her gaze, she knows I'm not bluffing, not threatening her. She gives in and turns her head toward Shrill Snooper. Does she think she will save her from horrible Chloe? It will not be like that, my father is the boss of his mother.
"What if I do it?" Alix speaks again. "With my father's job you couldn't. The Louvre is too important. The minister of culture decides there."
Why would she do that? She is the one who convinced Kagami to invite me. I do not get it.
She smiles. The typical crooked.
Now I understand.
She challenges me. She does it constantly. I thought she was just annoying, but she's been challenging me all this time. I'm stupid.
"Why would you do it? You are the one who made this arrangement."
"Precisely because of that. I did it to get you along, not to insult her mother. Apologize and no one will tell her anything." She looks at Marionette. "Won't we?"
Do I really have to? I feel Pollen fidgeting in my bag. Luckily, no one else does. I must apologize. I no longer have opportunities with anyone else I know, just her. I have to take advantage of it.
Alix is too loud, as always. I look at her, to make it clear that I am going to fulfill her challenge. I can continue to be proud while I apologize. I can't show weakness or they will use it against me.
"I. Am. Sorry." I lift my chin to imply that I don't, but I said it and that's what counts.
"Good." says Alix.
"What? She does not sorry at all!" Marionette continues talking.
Alix pouts at her. She frowns.
"She apologized. It's enough. I wannna keep seeing Kagami. Save your fights for later, when I'm gone."
"Yeah. Stop fighting. Come on, Alya, we're here to see Adrien. Please." intervenes DJ Shit.
His speech is the best thing that happened that day because after that they left me alone. The competition has continued and ended calmly, without more Marionette. Our school won, and thank goodness, because Kagami seems like the kind of person who takes it badly to lose. If that's true, she is like me.
Then we all went to a nearby ice cream parlor. Apparently Kagami and Adrien have had to lie to their parents in order to do so. Who taught Adrien that? A few months ago he told me that he did not dare to do something like that.
And now we are eating ice cream even though it is November. Who has come up with this stupidity? We will get sick. Anyway, the conversation has turned in a direction that I did not expect for a comment from me.
"Of course, the competition is not official, we have only been in the course for two months." Kagami explains. "That is why the coach and my mother were not there. We just wanted to meet the other groups in Paris. The official is at the end of the course."
Adrien laughs.
"Can you imagine it was official? All those poor begginers..."
But what does he say? Is he making fun of me?
"Chloe does not know anything about fencing. Do not make fun of her." Kagami answers seriously.
Did she defend me? That makes me happy. She really wants to be my friend. I think I'm going to get it, stop being alone.
Adrien stops laughing and looks at me guiltily, for the first time in quite a while. His eyes look hurt. Why? What have I done to him?
"Sorry." He's being honest, I know him. "I didn't mean to laugh at you."
And this is the first time he's spoken to me in months. I'm confused.
Kagami nods, accepting the apology.
Am I supposed to do it too? He hasn't spoken to me in months! And he only apologized because Kagami told him so!
What if this is a ploy? To make a fool of me, for how bad I am. There's no way Kagami and Alix want to be my friends. Alix challenged me a while ago and said that she likes to humiliate.
It does not matter what is happening. If I let one person laugh at me like that, others will think they can.
"You didn't mean to laugh at me but you have." I say sharply. "It's what it has to be always locked up by dad, you don't know how to relate to people without screwing up." I scoff. That sentence could also refer to me, but I don't care.
Adrien looks at me very hurt. This is how I have been for two months. I loved him, but he abandoned me and he didn't even tell me why.
I notice movement to my right and when I turn my head I see Marionette, Shrill Snooper and DJ Shit whispering and looking like they are fighting. After they calm down, the table goes silent.
Kagami looks awkward. Adrien is sad. Marionette, Shrill Snooper and DJ Shit seem about to kill me and I don't know why they haven't. Alix, on the other hand, is very calm eating her ice cream as if nothing happened. I don't know the rest of them and they don't interest me.
I want to leave. I feel uncomfortable and I don't have to stay here.
I get up. I don't finish my ice cream, it will make me fat anyway.
"Bye losers. I've wasted too much time with you."
I'm leaving. I don't wait for anyone to say anything. They want to laugh at me. I walk out of the ice cream parlor with a confident step and my head raised, that I do not lose my dignity, although in reality, I am afraid.
Now I am calmer. If there's no one with me, they can't hurt me. I hear Pollen's voice say something, but I can't make out the words. When I get home, I'll listen to her. It would be too strange for me to bring my bag to my head now, in the middle of the street.
Determined footsteps approach from behind. Someone grabs my forearm and turns me around.
It's Kagami. She is serious, as she is.
"Give me your phone number." she demands.
What? What is this about now? Didn't she want to laugh at me? She wants to keep laughing, it has to be that.
"My number is in the class group." I inform her. I don't know where she wants to go. "And you've already used it to get me into today's chat."
"Does that mean you give me formal permission to save your number?"
"Do what you want." I do not care. After today, I think I prefer to stay as I was. That way I don't risk it.
"Do not blow me off. I want to be your friend. And once I have decided something, I do not hesitate. I will be your friend, even if you do not want to."
What's wrong with this girl? She looks at me very seriously. Fixedly. It's scary. She's actually scary all the time, even more so when she smiles.
Other more urgent steps are coming.
It's Adrien.
He runs his eyes between me and Kagami. She realizes what she wants and leaves. Something tells me that if we hadn't finished talking, she wouldn't leave.
He wants to talk to me. I also want to talk to him, but not like this. I want us to talk like we always have, as friends. Right now we are not.
He sighs, his pretty green eyes dull.
"I'm really sorry. I don't want you to think that I was laughing at you. I am being sincere. I don't want us to get on badly." His eyes are kind, although they do not have the affection that they used to have. "But you also said something rude."
"You expect me to apologize?" I'm genuinely surprised. But what is it about? "I'm not going to do it. You haven't spoken to me in months, and now you want to pretend nothing happened? I hadn't said a single bad word to you, not until today. As for me, we are no longer friends."
I turn to continue on my way home. The limo can't pick me up today either. But I can't move forward, because Adrien grabs my forearm and makes me turn around. He looks me in the eye. Why is everyone looking me in the eye? I dislike it.
"I have not finished." There is the sadness again. "You're right, I have not spoken a word to you in everything we have been in the course. But I have a reason." He stops looking at me. "Nino told me the first day that you bully everyone in the class, you are an edge and you use your father to get what you want." He faces me again. "At first I did not believe it, with how bad you have been, how were you going to do that to others?" His voice breaks. That hurts me, Adrien has never been a lie. "Even so, I wanted to check it and I understood that Nino was right."
» "Then I thought I couldn't be with you as long as you behaved like this. I didn't want to make you believe that my closeness can be achieved by treating others badly, even if you had it from before." His hand gently squeezes my forearm. "I do not want to lose you. We have been best friends all our lives. I want you to be yourself, as you have always been with me, to treat people well, to be kind and open. As long as you are not yourself, we cannot be friends. And I want to be." His voice becomes a heartrending whisper "Please."
This is hard. With Adrien I have always been open, I have not had a problem with crying in front of him or being weak. But now I only feel fear and mistrust. He has no right to reproach me for anything. I need to put up my barriers.
"It's late, Adrien. You have abandoned me. And on top of that, you've gone with her. We can't be friends if you're not going to be close to me. We cannot be friends if you are going to demand that I have to change to be what they want. I loved you, and if you really loved me, you wouldn't blackmail me. I may change, I do not know, but it will not be to like your friends."
I tug on my arm to release me and go, and this time it doesn't stop me.
I must always have the last word.
I swear I thought about this fight even before the first chapter of season four came out.

Hi Linettye!
Thank you very much for commenting and for liking my ideas.
1 I don't like that situation either, because it makes it seem like nothing can happen without the ladybug miracle being present, leaving the rest of the miracles almost useless.
2 I don't know if you like what I've done with Chloe and what will be seen later. I thought that not everything is black or white and that each person has their reasons, but that does not mean that she will not change.
3 That's from season four, I think. A season I decided I wouldn't watch seeing what was done to Chloe at the end of season 3.
4 Adrien is a bit different here. You may or may not like what I do with him.
5 I don't like it at all and my intention with her is to show all the horrible things she does in the series and respect her character as much as possible. I don't have to do much to make her not so good anyway, just change the perspective.
Until next time.
