Chapter Twenty-Six

Anastasia

I went home after an exhausting day of school, we had two whole tests that I did not study for at all. At least me and Mari made up, I didn't know what I was going to do if she refused to talk to me again.

I sat down at my desk and checked my emails on my computer and saw that the pictures from the photoshoot at the Robert Ledger company had been done and sent to me.

I decided to post them on Instagram since I haven't uploaded anything on there for ages. I posted two, the first one of me by myself and the second one of me and Adrien in the white and pink outfits, it was the one where he had his arms wrapped around me, my hand was on his and we were looking in each others eyes.

I tagged him in the picture and captioned it '❤️‍🔥'.

I pressed post and seconds after hundreds of people were liking it.

Adrien commented soon after
AAgreste18: Think these turned out pretty cute

I liked the comment with a smile on my face just before noticing another comment a few under his with the profile picture of a ruby jewel,
ruby3113: I can't believe anyone would even employ you as a model with that body, tragic really..

Who would say something like that?

A few other random people were liking the comment and agreeing, there was only about three people replying to it but it still hurt.

First Jules and her friends and now this, can't I ever get a break?

I immediately turned off my computer and headed up to my balcony. I lent over the ledge letting the tears slowly fall from my eyes. I hated how vulnerable I was to these kind of things, I hated how I cried at everything but I just couldn't fight them.

There has been so many more times where Jules and her friends backed me into a corner and told me all the things they did to try and make me hate myself and it was working. Of course I defended myself and said all the shit I could think of back and sometimes it did seem to affect them but I couldn't let them see that they affected me.

I soon found myself thinking of Adrien, considering that was the reason bad things were happening in my life, Jules, Marinette. Of course I'm not saying it's his fault because of course it's not, things just happen..around him.

Sometimes I think about maybe if I stopped loving him it would make things better, but I literally live with the boy, how was that ever going to work out. But just maybe if I did it would help. Or perhaps if he loved me back it would all go away, all the girls would know to back off.

Just then I heard footsteps coming towards the balcony so I quickly wiped my tear-stained face.

Adrien walked in through the door, "Hey Annie"

"Hey"

"So are you and Marinette like fully okay?" He asked.

"I'm not entirely sure if we're fully okay but I think we're 'we can talk to each other again somewhat normally' okay" I told him.

"Well let's just hope it will turn out for the best" He said.

"Yeah let's hope.." I muttered.

"Did you want something?" I asked him while he was just stood there. 

"Um, well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out, I feel like we haven't just had an evening to ourselves for a while" He asked, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

"That would probably be because the last time we were going to you ditched me, and to this day I don't know why" I laughed at the memory.

"But yeah of course, I'd love to" I smiled.
