M'lady..

its my fault..

i pulled them into the class, scanning the place to see if anyone was near.. i locked the door and looked at them both beginning to bite my nails.

"it's my fault" i repeated and repeated

"what? no? adrien being taken out of school isn't your fault" nino and alya said

"gabriel" i sighed

"yes it's gabriel's fault" nino said

i took a deep breath..

"gabriel sent nathalie to the bakery.. he told me to dump adrien and i said no. he thretanded me and then brought adrien into it which i also said no to.."

alya and nino gasped then turned to eachother.

"have you told adrien?" alya asked

i nodded no..

"you'd be best telling him dudette" nino said

i explained to alya and nino that's why i've been acting different, running home. i told them it's been killing me and if i lose him i lose myself.. they both told me either to tell adrien or listen to gabriel. but if i listen to gabriel it would kill us both, there's two slight slight details i didn't mention to them.. one.. gabriel said there's a girl better than me.. two.. adriens chat and i'm lb and that i can't do akuma alerts if he can't get out. i just agreed to tell adrien.. i don't know how he'll react.. i sighed and left the empty classroom. i just messaged adrien.

"oh sorry i turned my phone off.. i'll phone you later"

adriens pov-

today's just been a long day, i swear i've been laying on this bed for five hours but it's only been two. i decided to go play a few rounds of mecha strike, do something i want to. i turn the game on and grab my controller to see nathalie at the door.

"hi" i said

"adrien mr agreste would like you to practice piano" nathalie sighed

"why can't i go to school? why has security risen?"

"i um.. i don't know"

"nathalie i know thats a lie what's going on?"

nathalie sighed.

"ask marinette.." nathalie frowned

just as that i get a message from marinette, i just ignored it. why do i need to ask marinette?

"why marinette?"

"i'd rather her tell you than myself, if she hasn't told you yet then it's not my place too"

"what has marinette done?"

"nothing.. it's more what has your father done"

has he hurt her? thretanded her? if she has something to do with it then why wouldn't she tell me? we tell eachother everything.. i just smiled at nathalie and walked over to my piano and started playing, as soon as nathalie left the room i facetimed marinette. she answered but it looked like she was in class.

"i can't talk in class doing test" she whispered and hung up

i sighed and just played piano. i remembered that's the first time she's spoken to me in days.. is this maybe the reason she's not speaking to me?

mari-

i was just about to sit my math test as my phone started ringing, ugh wrong time!!

"turn that off!" miss brown shouted

i pulled the phone out my pocket, adrien.

"can't talk in class doing test" i whispered and hang up.

i didn't exactly put my phone on silent and put it into my pocket.. nice way to end the school day..
