💙Part 9💛

*At school, in Ms Bustier's class*
Ms Bustier: *Marking assignments*
Adrien: *writing something on a little piece of paper, folds it and turns to Nino! whispers* Psst! Nino!
Nino: *Looks up from his work and looks at Adrien, whispers* yeah, dude?
Adrien: Can you pass this to Marinette?
Nino: Dude, you're sat right in front of her, you do it.
Lila: *Looks up from her work and looks at the boys, listening intently*
Adrien: I can't! You do it!
Nino: *Takes the note* Fine. *Turns to Alya* Psst! Alya!
Alya: *Looks at him* Yeah?
Nino: A note from Adrien, give it to Marinette.
Alya: *Takes it* Got ya.. *Taps on Marinette's shoulder*
Marinette: *Looks at her*
Alya: Someone was too shy to give you this note. *Subtly points to Adrien, hands the note*
Marinette: *Takes it*
Lila: *Sneakily gets up and reads the note without being caught*
Marinette: *Reads it* Meet me in the locker room after class :) *she takes a deep breath*
Lila: *Sits back down*
*The bell rings*
Ms Bustier: Ok, students, have a nice day, I'll see you tomorrow.

*10 minutes later, Lila walks into the locker room*
Lila: *Hides inside a locker*
Adrien: *Walks in with Marinette* Listen, I want to apologise for yesterday.
Marinette: You shouldn't be apologising, Adrien. Wait.... what are you apologising about?
Adrien: For Nathalie...
Marinette: Oh... I thought you was going to apologise for something else. *Sits down*
Adrien: *Sits next to her* If you thought I was apologising for kissing you... I'm not sorry...
Marinette: Wait... you meant to kiss me?
Adrien: *Nods* Listen, I've liked you for quite some time now and... I can't stop thinking about you.
Marinette: *Smiles*
Adrien: Do you... have feelings for me?
Marinette: I... uh... I.... um.... I do...
Adrien: *Smiles big*
Marinette: But... I don't think we should date...
Adrien: Why not?
Marinette: I heard that... you like someone else. I think I know who it is.
Adrien: Who?
Marinette: Kagami. Remember at the ice rink? I saw the way you look at her and I think you should be with her.
Adrien: *Shakes his head* No, Marinette, I...
Marinette: I'm fine... really. I'll see you later. *Tries not to cry, walks to the girls bathroom*
Adrien: *Stands up and watches her leave, starts to feel sad and walks out*
Lila: *Comes out of hiding, evil smirks*

*In the girl's bathroom*
Marinette: *Wiping her tears* That was so hard, Tikki.
Tikki: I'm sorry, Marinette.
Lila: *Opens the door*
Tikki: *Hides*
Marinette: *Sees her then looks away*
Lila: Well?
Marinette: *Sighs then looks at her* I did what you want me to do...
Lila: Good!
Marinette: Now give me back my diary!
Lila: Tsk tsk tsk you really thought it was that easy.
Marinette: You got what you wanted! What more could you want?
Lila: If you want your diary back... you need to drop from the school play.
Marinette: *Eyes widen*
Lila: And you will tell Ms Bustier that you want me to play the role instead!
Marinette: I can't do that!
Lila: Really? *Goes into her bag and takes out the diary* I wonder what you have in your little book of secrets.
Marinette: No!
Lila: So you're gonna drop from the play?!
Marinette: I... *groans*
Lila: Great, see you later then! *Walks out*
Chloe: *From inside a cubicle* That scheming little bitch! *Slams open the door*
Marinette: Chloe?! *Holds her bag* How much did you hear?
Chloe: Not alot. My headphones were on.
Marinette: You wear headphones to the—
Chloe: That's not the point here! We will take down Lila and you will keep that part, Dupain-Cheng!
Marinette: But what about my diary?!
Chloe: I'll handle that don't worry, plus Lila owes me...
Marinette: How?
Chloe: I used to be popular and now she is!
Marinette: *Crosses her arms, smirks* Ah so this is about your recognition not my love life.
Chloe: Yeah, now keep up. Here's what we're going to do...
