My Past is a Blur by Summer Cheng

Chapter 17

Alya's POV:

  I got a text from Marinette. I rolled my eyes when I read it.

  I can not believe Marinette blamed herself.

  Goodness, it was not Marinette's fault Adrien lost his memory.

    I had no clue why she thought otherwise.

    I  shrugged my shoulders.

    I sent her a response to reassure her that she was always good to Adrien.

   "Girl, you are always kind to him, Marinette. What else could you do differently, hmm?"

    I   was glad I let her know that she was not to blame.

     I  hoped things went well for her.

    I   put my phone back inside my pocket.

    I was on a date with Nino.

   No sense in ruining it.

    

    "Nino, you are unusually quiet.  What is on your mind, sweetheart?"

      I  felt him squeeze my hand.

    As Nino turned to face me, I saw the sadness in his eyes.  

      I  kissed him.

     I saw him blush.

    Good, I thought.  It still cheered him up.

     I  hummed happily to myself as we walked to the arcade.

      I  attempted to shove the thought aside that this place would make a great double date with Adrien and Marinette.  

        I   ran with Nino towards the games.

       As I played ping pong with him, I won!

       I could tell he was impressed.

       Later, after the arcade, Nino walked me home.

       I pondered if I should ask him what was troubling him.

       I decided against it. I was sure I already knew the answer.

      I  hugged him and kissed him good night.

     In all, it was a tuff day, but I was sure better days were on the way.
