Chapter 15

For the record? Adrien and I weren't dating. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure what it was that was going on between us. But I think we were both under the impression that there weren't any labels on this thing. I wasn't his girlfriend and he wasn't my boyfriend. We sort of just started kissing more? Like, a lot more.

True to my speculations earlier, by the time I arrived in the cafeteria for lunch later that day, all eyes were on me as I made my way for the food line. There were even a few people muttering behind their hands as I passed, which in my opinion was totally childish. But the best part of this was that I found I didn't care whatsoever. Let them stare for all I cared.

I bought a sandwich and an off-brand energy drink, giving the lunch lady a wide smile, before I headed over to the table Adrien and I shared. He was already there, slouched in his seat, as I dropped into the seat across from him, throwing my food onto the table.

Adrien glanced up at me and gave a crooked grin, "Regretting our hallway shenanigans already, Marinette?"

I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Hardly. I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks."

Adrien raised an eyebrow, not looking convinced at all. "Oh, really? Since when?"

I shrugged, paying more attention to my sandwich than him. "Beats me."

"Right, right," Adrien replied, rolling his eyes.

We sat in silence for the next couple of minutes, my attention fixed on my lunch, Adrien's a book. I could feel the entire cafeteria's gaze boring into the back of my head as I ate, which wasn't all that comfortable, believe it or not.

I just hoped Adrien was going to be left alone after everything that had happened in the hallway earlier, because I had a feeling I wasn't going to be.

"Oh my gosh, Marinette!" I barely had enough time to look around before I saw Alya sprinting her way over to our table, lunch in hand, a maniacal look in her yes.

"Did you say something to her?" Adrien snapped, leaning forward towards me.

"No!" I yelped, throwing my hands in the air. "I haven't seen her in a minute."

"Well, it sure seems like—" Adrien was cut off by Alya throwing her food onto the table and sitting down beside me.

"You've sure got a lot of explaining to do," Alya babbled the second she sat down next to me. "I didn't know you two were dating!"

Adrien and I exchanged looks. "We're not," He said dryly.

"But—"

"We just... kissed, that's all," I said loudly, cutting her off.

"That's not what I heard." Alya said, her voice full of suggestions.

"Well, it's not any of their business, is it?" Adrien said, rolling his eyes.

He did have a point.

Alya shrugged nonchalantly in response, a clear sign that she had no come back.

"I have to eat at home today. Father's orders," Adrien said abruptly, getting to his feet. "I'll see you later, Dupain-Cheng."

I was a little surprised at his words, but nodded anyways. He gathered his things together and left the cafeteria, but not before tossing a trademark smirk over his shoulder towards me. I had to fight back a girly laugh at that, which was super childish.

But, now I have one more thing to stress over, Adrien was seeing his father again. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

Alya immediately turned to me the second Adrien was out of earshot and opened her mouth to start firing questions, "Spill!" she practically yelled.
