"Max has really improved. I am proud of him." Camellia and Kim were watching Max and Adrien battle it out in Ultimate Mecha Strike III, while leaning against one of the library bookshelves. Kim and her had already played and lost against Max.

The reason behind this gaming session, Françoise Dupont was holding tryouts for an Ultimate Mecha Strike III gaming tournament held between all Parisian schools. Max had been practising non-stop for months to prepare and now he was looking for a teammate.

Camellia slipped a little, losing her pillow, when Kim went to go talk to Marinette who had just arrived. After a couple minutes of explaining, "He's been grinding all year," and just as Kim said that, Adrien had won against Max.

"Awesome job, we'll make a killer combo." Camellia could see the look of sadness of the boy's face but he accepted the lost and gave Adrien a high-five. Camellia grabbed Kim and made him sit back down when Alya dragged Marinette away to talk.

"How am I supposed to be comfortable without my pillow?" She jokingly mumbles. Camellia didn't really care for anything after Adrien's win, wanting to focus more on her Class Rep work. Currently she was trying to figure out a way to get in more club time after school.

"I Win!" Marinette's boasting annoyed Camellia. She looked at Max who was sulking. Their classmates were stunned by Marinette's win. "What? I can't believe it. She... she beat him."

"Beat him? She pulverised him." Alya was excited for the girl's win. Camellia was less than happy. She handed her notebook to Kim before dusting off her skirt. Kim knew what she was going to do so he just thumbed through her brainstorming.

"I accept this defeat. I relinquish my position. Congratulations, Marinette and Adrien." Camellia waved off Adrien who made a motion to stop Max before following the boy into the hallway.

"Hey Max." He looked back at her before looking back at the ground. She sighed, "Max, no matter the scores on that screen, I still think you deserve that spot on the team. I will talk with Marinette about-"

"Look, I'm fine. I lost fair and square, but if you don't mind, I'd like some solitude." Camellia sighed once again and smiled. "Okay Max, but remember I am always a phone call away." Max nodded before leaving the school.

Camellia walked back into the library to gather her stuff. Marinette walked up to her with happiness. "Well I hope your happy Marinette. Max has been training non-stop. That boy has missed sleep over this. You better hope you win."

Camellia took her notebook from a quiet Kim before leaving. "Also you might want to clean your room. You have photos all over your floor." Camellia walked home. Pluuma wanted to calm her down but knew that her anger was rational.

Camellia walked into the bakery and Sabine could tell that something happened when her younger daughter also rushed in with a sad look a few minutes later. Camellia walked up stairs to her room and dialled Luka's number. His smiling face popped onto the screen. He wasn't looking at the screen because he was currently tuning his guitar but turned to look at his girlfriend.

Hey Cam. What's up?

My sister is what's up. Remember how I said she has an unhealthy crush on the model who goes to our school?
