"Adrien!" I shout, running towards him. 

He looks over his shoulder with a raised brow, and then his eyes widen as he see's the 5 euro bill in my hand. "No Mari!" He turns and bolts away from me

"Adrien!" I chase him in laps around the school courtyard, nearly tripping several times, but somehow I manage to keep up with him.

He makes a sharp turn, looping back around and trying to lose me, but I get close enough, and then I jump onto his back. I then shove the bill down the front of his shirt and release him.

We're both breathing heavily as Adrien releases the bill from under his white t-shirt. It falls to the floor in front of his feet. His smile is wide as he looks from the bill and to me. I'm practically panting from the amount of running, and we've seemed to of gathered quite the crowd from our antics.

"You really don't give up huh?" He laughs, then picks up the bill from the floor. "Keep it, Mari." He holds it out to me.

I shake my head vigorously. "No way. I told you, you don't owe me anything."

He gives me a soft look, and my brain floods with memories of Chat and I last night. Stop it, stop it, stop it. I shake the memories away.

"Have you seen Alya and Nino yet?" Adrien asks, and I shake my head. We head off to find them together, it doesn't take long.

"Hey bro." Nino greets Adrien, and Alya smiles at me. Nino's arm is slung over her shoulder, their fingers intertwined.

"What's up?" Alya asks. I stand beside her as Adrien starts to speak.

"My father is sending me on a modeling tour.. thing. I don't even know what it is." He sighs. "I'll be gone for a few months."

"Shit bro." Nino releases Alya's hand and then they do a weird bro-hug.

"It's just a bunch of modeling gigs all lined up." He shrugs. "I'll be back in a few months, but you guys can always call or text me." He gives us a small smile.

My heart is heavy in my chest. First Chat, now Adrien? I'm losing 2 good friends in the span of 24 hours. Well, I'll still be able to text Adrien, perhaps I should of gotten Chat's number before he left as well. We can still communicate through our miraculous, but it might of been a bit better if I had asked. I guess it's too late now.

The hours pass by slowly. We all agree to help keep Adrien in the loop with school work so he doesn't fall behind, Chloe gives him a huge kiss on the cheek as we wave goodbye to Adrien and he slides into his car. Then the car drives off.

I already miss him.

I pull my phone out of my back pocket, only to see a 5 euro bill fall to the concrete.

Unbelievable.
