Where did you go?

5~ It's unfair

The next morning, I dreaded waking up. This was because of 3 simple reasons.

1.) I felt like absolute trash, probably looked like it too.

2.) Adrien

3.) School in general. That place makes me want to vomit.

Either way, I get up and start getting ready for school. Turns out, I was right. I do look like garbage. My eyebags could fit all of Chloe's designer shoes AND her ego combined. I wash up in the bathroom and while washing my face, I randomly think of the lucky charm Adrien gave me. I dry my face quickly and open the drawer, but it's not there. Crap. I forgot where I put it. Whatever, I'll find it eventually.

Does he still have the one I gave to him?

This time, I'll answer my annoying little voice, no, he most likely doesn't. Once I finish in the bathroom, I head to the kitchen to eat. I notice a little pink note on the table and it has my mom's writing on it.

"Hi, sweetie! Your father and I went down to the store to go look for new furniture. There are fresh croissants in the bakery to eat! See ya later! Love ya! -Mom."

Since when do we need new furniture? Eh, whatever. I walk down to the bakery to grab a croissant, then start on my way to school with the help of my bike. Luckily, I get there right on time and meet up with Alya at the doors like always.

"Hey girl!", she says.

"Hey!", I notice that everyone is surrounding Miss Bustier's classroom. "What's up with all of this?"

"Supposedly the school has a big announcement for us, and Miss Bustier is gonna tell us when class starts. I wonder what it is", she replies.

I also wonder what this "announcement" could be. Imagine if all of this is because of Adrien coming back. No joke, I would drop out. After a couple of minutes of chatting with Alya, Miss Bustier opens the door to her classroom, and we are all let in. Since we were at the back of the group, we were basically one of the last ones to enter the classroom. To my misfortune, Adrien and Lila are sitting together in the front row. Where Nino sits. Before I could even think about what I'm doing, I find myself smack in front of them, with my hand on the desk.

"Lila, get up. This is not your seat", I blurt.

"I thought that she could just sit next to me", Adrien interrupts.

"Talk when you're spoken to. I'm talking to Lila", I quickly reply.

"Watch what you're saying Marinette. I'm sitting here because I want to. What are you gonna do? Move me yourself?", Lila sneers.

I would if I had the chance.

"No, obviously not. But this is Nino's seat-", I say.

"Exactly!", she rudely interrupts. "You answered yourself. I don't care if this is Nini's, Nina's, Nine's seat, I'm here now, aren't I? Yes! I am. Get out of my view please".

To keep calm, I stomp away and sit down in my seat. First of all, "Nini? Nina's? Nine's?" his name is NINO, the easiest name in the history of names. Those are mostly girl names. She did that to be petty to Nino, and he never did anything to her. This drama is between US. That snake.

Alya shakes her head and mocks Lila behind her head in an attempt to cheer me up. It works, and I giggle.

"Ignore her, she'll get what she deserves soon", Alya reassures.

I nod my head, and Nino comes into the classroom. He notices Lila in his seat with Adrien next to her and walks up to Miss Bustier. I'm guessing he asked if he could sit with us because before we know it, he slips into our aisle next to Alya. A couple of seconds later, Miss Bustier claps her hands together, to signal that class has now started.

"Good morning everyone! Hope everyone's morning is going well", she starts. "We have a couple of announcements to go over before we start the lesson for today. First and foremost, your fellow classmates have returned from the United States! Welcome Lila and Adrien after their long absence!"

Really? The United States? That's where he went? Based on the teacher's announcement, Lila went with him. She was with him for 6 months? That's a load of sh*t. Most of the class sounds excited, although Alya, Nino and I stay silent. They aren't that important.

"Now, for the most exciting announcement. Our class, as a whole, will be taking a trip to Los Angeles, California!", Miss Bustier says with enthusiasm.

The whole class starts cheering, Alya and I look at each other and squeal. California? Los Angeles? From what I know, Los Angeles is one of the most popular cities in California. It's gonna be so great! I can wear my new bathing suit, it's so cute, it's pink with white polka dots on it-. Hold on, as a class?

Adrien is coming too. How fun. My excitement just went from 100 to 0 in a blink of an eye. You're probably getting real annoyed by me right now. Why does she care if Adrien is coming? Why does everything about Adrien bother her? I'm afraid. I'm afraid of falling down that deep hole of falling in love with him again. It took me forever to climb back out, and I'm afraid I'll just get pushed back in quicker than I can eat a bag of hot chips. I have Luka, and I can't do that to him.

"We go on the trip on Friday, and come back Sunday afternoon", she says. She calls Alix to the front of the classroom, and hands her a stack of papers. "Alix is handing out your permission slips, have them signed and back to me by Thursday."

Hours later after class finally ends, Alya and I meet up at our usual place outside of the door, with Nino tagging along. We're talking about something hilarious that Kim did in class, until two figures slowly enter my peripheral view, one being tall, with blonde hair, and the other being my height, with brown long hair. Great.

I turn to face them, and see them heading straight torwards us.
