"You seem tired. Up all night?". I jerk awake, to a worried Adrian standing at my table. "Yea yea, no I'm good!". I sigh. "Okay.. if you say so. Just checking in!". I whimper and sink into my chair. Even though I'm with Chat now, there's still some butterflies in my stomach that don't want to leave. I try to tell myself that we're just friends. Just good friends like Adrien always said.
Alya catches up with me on the big staircase, outside the school. "Hey Mari!". I smile at her. "Are you alright? You left so quickly, I didn't get to chat with you.". "I'm good, don't worry". She raises her eyebrow at me. "Well do you wanna hang out?". "Sorry I can't today Alya. I have to do homework". She inspects me, like I'm a murder suspect. "Marinette Dupain Cheng doing homework? Doesn't seem right." She laughs. "Now tell me, what are your actual plans?". I sigh. She always knows when I'm lying. "Fine you win. I'm just really tired today. I was up doing homework 'til 3 am.". "Why were you doing it so late? You didn't have anything yesterday, you had plenty of time!". Think Marinette, think! "Ohhh I was watching Adrien's add, and I got carried away" she still has that suspicious look on her face. "You watched it all day?" she shrugs. "Sure, I'll believe you" she says with that stupid smirk on her face. "Now go home and sleep Marinette". She turns on her heel and walks away.
