Le Loup: Rise of Madam Peacock

Chapter 8: The Last Straw

Lila POV

My plan is slowly working. Adrien is slowly starting to fall for me and is ignoring his friends. 

It is time for the final push.

I met up with Adrien in the hall way. 

"Hi, Adrien." I said.

"Oh. Hey, Lilly. Great work in P.E." He replied with a smile.

"You look upset. What's wrong?" I asked as I place a hand on his shoulder. 

"I think I might've messed things up with mila- I mean Marinette. She wouldn't talk to me. I've been a little distant from my friends. Especially Alya. She wouldn't stop giving me those dirty looks. It's getting annoying." He sighed.

I placed my hands on his cheeks. He didn't stop me.

"Maybe Marinette isn't the right person for you. I mean, you saw her with Luka. Maybe she's falling for him. I think it's best if you break up with her." I said.

"Maybe you're right. Thanks, Lilly. You know, I think I might like you." He said with a smile.

"More than just a friend?" I asked as I moved closer to Adrien.

"Yeah. Even more than Marinette. If only we met earlier." He said.

We kissed. It felt like a dream come true.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" A voice called out. We looked and saw the crowd taking pictures and an enraged Alya being held back by Nino, who had a disappointed on his face. Alex looked like he was about to commit homicide. But the best of all, Marinette was in tears. She turned around and ran away. 

"Mari. Wait! It's not what you think!" Adrien ran towards the crowd, only to get punched in the face by Alya.

"You stay away from my bestie, Agreste!" Alya shouted and ran after Marinette. Alex scowled at us before following. Nino also left.  Adrien got up and rubbed his jaw.

"Guess I don't need this anymore." He said and removed the bracelet Marinette gave to him from his wrist. I hugged him from behind. He smiled.

All according to plan.
