The Glow Up

Part 9

Unknown Number: Hi Marinette, how are you?

Marinette: Ummm... who are you?

Unknown: It's Felix, your awesome modeling friend. I'm offended, you forgot me T-T

Marinette: Ohhhh... sorry. You deserved it though, you are such a jerk. I still don't forgive you for beating me at the model competition. 

Felix: Jeez, chill. You gotta admit it eventually. I deserved to win. I'm better, smarter, and handsome. ;)

Mari: Shut it

Felix: Anyway, I have good news. I might move to Paris in a few months. I can't leave you on your own, you need me to look good.

Mari: That's awesome! I missed you! And no, I don't need you to look good you self conceited jerk. 

Mari: Gtg, Adrien is calling me

Felix: My cousin? The short blond one?

Mari: Hey! He's not short! He's nice, supportive, and handsome...

Felix: Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeee. But I'll always be better 

Marinette: Yeah... no. See you in a few months!

Felix: Bye

Felix P.O.V

I haven't talked with Adrien in ages, and he's already ruining things for me! What does Marinette even see in him? I'm fancier and cooler than him, for sure. God, why is this so hard? And why the heck couldn't I admit my feelings for her? I had a whole year with her...

*Flashback*

Felix was being crowded by fangirls, and he was starting to get annoyed. Then, a blue-haired girl walked in, tripping over her feet, drenched in the rain. She's got the looks, but not the grace. Great, another fangirl. 

"Hi! I'm Marinette!" she said, smiling. Felix didn't know what it was about her, but he smiled back. In time, he realized she wasn't just another fangirl. She was his friend. His... crush. And finally, it was time to confess.

"Happy Valentine's day Marinette!" said Felix nervously. "Thanks!" said Marinette, wondering why he was being so nice. "So, um, this is for y-" His phone rang. Once he was done, he had to go do a photo shoot.

His confessions continued like this. He finally had the perfect place, gift, and time, and boom, they were interrupted. Every single time, he failed.

*Present*

He had another chance this time. But, his cousin couldn't get in the way. Meh, he could get rid of the competition easily. He was finally going to be able to confess to Marinette, in time. Now, he only hoped she'd say yes.

Adrien P.O.V

Adrien was bored and he found himself scrolling through Marinette's social media. Then he saw a new pic... of her and Luka?!? What?!?

Adrien was annoyed, and kind of wanted to hit the dislike button. Luka doesn't deserve Marinette! He's probably just using her! He thinks angrily. He takes a deep breath and calms down. "Don't be jealous. It's not like she's your girlfriend or anything," says Plagg, rolling his eyes and popping some cheese into his mouth.

"I wish she were though," said Adrien absentmindedly. Plaggs eyes popped open. Oh, he finally notices! He has a brain! thinks Plagg. Then, Adrien says "But she's just a friend" Plagg facepalms. Never mind. He's hopeless.
