Secrets

Chapter 8 - 2 months

Alya walks in the classroom with her boyfriend Nino, and she sits next to her best friend who is basically a completely different person. Since it is the last day of school Marinette did not want to keep her pregnancy a secret from her best friend. She would tell Juleka and her mother, but she is not on their good books right now, she would tell Adrien, but she does not really know if it's his or not and she wants to be sure about it. The two talk loud and have fun just like old times but then end up getting emotional because of choices for university.

The whole classroom was a party zone as it is the last day and they could do anything they wanted that did not include schoolwork.

                         "how are you feeling, I missed you so much, I didn't think you'd come today" Alya said hugging Marinette and all she did was giggle.

                         "yeah, my parents wanted me to say goodbye to everyone, my therapist is making it very easy for me, so I felt stable enough to come back for the last day. Also, I need to tell you something" Marinette said to Alya and gazed her eyes at Adrien and felt butterflies in her stomach and lightly dragged her to the toilets making sure that they were empty this time. "right, you have to promise me that you won't say anything to anyone, not even Nino" she demanded and Alya jumped on the sink counters so that she was carefully paying attention and Marinette took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant".

Alya eyes widened and was confused, she was frozen not knowing what to do and she knew the question she will ask would be a blunt response.

                      "have you told Luka?"

                      "no, but I don't think it's his" Marinette cried making Alya grab her into a hug and tried to calm her down. Whose could it be? She thought.

                       "whose would it be?"

                       "Adrien's" Marinette quietly said and Alya just put her hands over her mouth and was so shocked because that is not what she expected but then realised that's probably why Marinette kept it a secret. "I just felt so ashamed, I felt like a sl- "

                      "you're not a slut Marinette, people make mistakes, don't worry everything is going to be okay. I am your best friend basically sister, you can tell me anything and ill defend you, you know that. What are you going to do?"

Marinette looked at herself in the mirror and before she was going to answer Chole walked in the bathroom and heaved at the two girls looking in the mirror crying but felt like she wanted in on the gossip.

                     "so why are you crying, we finally get to leave this hell hole" chole spoke and checked her nails after slightly budging Alya out the way. "why you guys crying? Did someone die cos if they did, I am so sorry for your loss, I heard about your suicide attempt 2 months ago, how are you feeling?" the girls paused after chole asked that question because she genuinely felt worried about Marinette. "look I know I don't like you, but suicide is no joke, it's okay, I get it".

                     "how could you possibly get it?" Alya harshly asked and chole just sighed and looked in the mirror.

                    "well, its not like we'll see each other again so I might as well say, but two years ago, I felt like ending it all, just all the money, all the selfishness, the whole queen bee let downs, I just felt useless, and daddy said if I don't kill myself, I could have my own home so if I feel stressed, I could just take the jet there and chill out. I still have thoughts sometimes but isolating to calm down can also help" a tear fell from Choles eyes and the girls felt bad and wanted to support her. "so now tell me, why are you crying".
