Presents from Santa Paws •Discontinued•

Deep regrets or love?

Recap:

Adrien goes to school to see Lila and Chloe arguing with Marinette and Alya over him. Adrien freaks out and runs to the bathroom. He believes Marinette likes the model more than the actual him. He eventually goes back to class to find out that they have to show something. Adrien had forgotten about this. Plagg hints to his bag where he finds the mask. He drops it and Nino asks what it is. He stumbles around his words until he says it's from a photoshoot. Adrien gets called on first. He admits he was busy and Mrs.Bustier gives in. She calls Marinette instead. Marinette planned to show a clothing line she was making but ended up putting up a selfie of her and Chat Noir aka him. Everyone freaks out and Adrien teases her. He just stares at her with blush on his cheeks as she rambles on.

A flash from a phone was seen in the corner of my eye. Chloe brought down her phone and started rapidly moving her fingers along the device.

"Sent!" She yelled.

"What did you send Chloe?" I ask her confused.

"Obviously a picture to that News Lady! Wait 'till all of Paris sees Maritrash and Unlucky cat hanging out!" She laughed manically before shoving her phone in her latest designer bag.

"What!?" A noise was heard coming from the bluenette.

"Hey.. Mari it's okay! People will hopefully think it's fake?" I said trying to calm her down.

"What is wrong with you Chloe!?" Alya yelled from behind Nino.

The sound made me jolt a little.

"It's just fun blogger girl!" She said in a innocent tone.

"But it isn't. Is it?" I spoke up.

The classroom had gone silent waiting for an answer from Chloe.

"I-. But Adrikins!!" She tried pleading.

"I'll ask again Chloe. Would it be funny if someone did that to you?" I spoke in a darker tone.

"I-. Well that Maritrash is getting too close to you! Maybe she'll fall inlove with the alley-cat.." her voice droned on.

My head spaced out as I imagined Marinette confessing her love for Chat Noir aka me.

... AND I DESERVE YOUR LOVE NOT THAT STUPID GOOD FOR NOTHING BAKER!!" I heard a yell from the blonde sitting across the aisle.

My head turned in her direction halting at her eyes. They were full of anger and deep down. Possibly regret and guilt.

"Chloe.." I said sternly.

The classroom had gone so quiet you could hear a fly flying around the room.

"Don't insult Marinette. What has she ever done to you?" I asked her whilst trying to stay cool.

"SHE STOLE YOU FROM ME! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME LIKE I LOVE YOU." She retorted back.

I didn't know much about love confessions except from trying to confess my love for ladybug which hadn't turned out to be love. All I knew was that that wasn't supposed to be the way you should confess your love.

I grabbed my bag and walked out of the classroom hearing whispers as I left.

"...where's he going?..."

"...do you think he likes her?..."

Many thoughts entered my mind.

Before I knew it I was at the door again.

"Just so you all know. It isn't nice to talk behind someone's back. Also I don't think that was a planned out confession Chloe." I said calm.

"I also want to say that I love another." It then turned and walked to the locker room collecting some extra books and stuffing them into my bag.

I walked to the front entrance and left the building sitting on the steps waiting for the lunch period.

"H-Hey Adrien?"

I turned around to see a red-faced, pigtailed girl.

"I- Uh! H-Hello Martine..
MARINETTE!" I accidentally yelled correcting myself.

I turned around covering my face with my hands out of embarrassment.

"Thank you for sticking up for me." She said calmly.

"I owe it to you.." I said louder than a whisper.

She sat down and began to talk again.

"You don't owe me anything Adrien. You being my friend is enough." She smiled at the end.

I heard a small crack coming from my chest.

'This is what karma is?' I thought to myself. Every time I called her Just a Friend was just a fear of telling her that I loved her.

That I only said it to give out that 'it doesn't concern you when I decide to pursue a relationship with her'. Luck isn't in my favours today.

"You know. I managed to get the rest of the day out of school so we can actually go see the proper PowerPoint in made for my designs?" She asked me.

My eyes lit up a bit as I felt my heart slowly mend back together.

"I'd love to." I replied happily.

I followed her to her bakery where she entered and grabbed a few cookies and croissants. We headed up the stairs to her room.

"Let me just plug it in." She said sticking her tongue out, moving her head behind the computer to try and see where she could insert her USB.

'Maybe this might be my chance to tell her?' I thought to myself.

'No! That'd just be out of context and rude of me. It has to be a proper confession.' I thought disagreeing with my previous thought.

Maybe this day has become better than I thought it would.
