"You look pale." stated Dealla as she held her tray full of food in her hands, walking beside Adrien. The two had just returned from the line in the cafeteria, heading to the seats that Nino and Chloé had reserved for the four of them.

Adrien's eyebrow twitched slightly, a tell-tale sign he hadn't expected this. "Just some things on my mind, is all." He brushed it off, giving a smile at his best friend before looking ahead, slightly increasing his pace.

And... there he goes. Dealla huffed to herself, catching up to the blonde. She watched as the students made way for Adrien, and she was slightly envious at his superior popularity.

The two finally reached their table, where Nino and Chloé along with Sabrina and Nathaniel, were on a heated debate about peanut butter and butter alone. Girls versus boys, it seems, and it looks like the girls were on favor.

Adrien and Dealla set down their trays, sitting across from each other. Their table fell silent, and Nino and Nathaniel looked at Adrien, desperation in their eyes.

"Adrien, doesn't peanut butter go well with bread!?" Asked Nino, almost close to tears at the smug looks sent their way.

Adrien tilted his head, furrowing his brows. "If you're going for flavor, yes. But I prefer butter since it has less sugar and can be present in all my diet." He said, smiling.

Dealla turned to Chloé and Sabrina beside her, raising a brow. Looks like these two made up faster than expected. Chloé was even wearing Sabrina's bracelet that was gifted to the blonde. Dealla turned to her food, smiling slightly as she recalled that particular scene.

Chloé crossed her arms, raising her chin as she looked away from Sabrina. She scoffed, eye twitching. She can't bring herself to apologize. Chloé herself knows her ego and pride could rival the Eiffle Tower's height. She gulped, shivering slightly.

Sabrina was in front of Chloé, fiddling with the hem of her skirt awkwardly. She raised her head, clearing her throat. "Uh, Chloé...?" She started quietly, "Is there something you want?"

The blonde flinched at the tone of Sabrina and her question. She messed up. Badly. She turned her head to meet Sabrina's gaze, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of the water as she tried to form a sentence.

"I-" forced Chloé, her expression contorting to one of a grimace as she tightened her crossed arms, hugging herself. "Y-You—" her voice slightly wavered.

Adrien, Nino, and Dealla were hidden behind Sabrina, mouthing words of encouragement whenever Chloé would look their way.

Chloé glanced at her friends and then at Sabrina. She gulped, taking a deep breath. "I, Chloé Bourgeois, declare that I am pardoned and thereby free of guilt." She said, voice loud and clear.

Sabrina let out a noise at the back of her throat as she looked at Chloé in surprise, head reeling back as heat crawled to her face. Her lips trembled as she stared at the blonde with blurring vision.

The three hidden behind a bush simultaneously slapped a hand over their faces.

"Sorry, guys, but I gotta go to the library," said Adrien as he stood up, holding his tray.

Dealla looked up, mouth full of croissant. "Now?"

Adrien merely gave her a smile. "Yeah. Homework." He said shortly before excusing himself, walking away from the group.
