"You're going to eat lunch with Kagami and Marinette?" Adrien asked.
"Yeah. I didn't want what they were going to eat, so I decided to pick up mine from here and meet them at the park. It is such a pretty day don't you agree?" Lila said with a huge grin.
Adrien was skeptical but he did see Kagami and Marinette leave together.
"Here's your food. Have a great day!" The waitress said, bringing their food over in a bag and setting it down in front of both of them.
"Well... I better get going. They are waiting on me. So... are you coming?" Lila asked, standing up and grabbing her bag of food.
"Yeah, I'll join you." Adrien said, taking his bag of food also.
Lila smiled and grabbed onto Adrien's arm as he stood up. Adrien looked down at Lila and groaned. He pulled his arm away and gave her an awkward smile.
"Sorry. I'm dating someone actually." Adrien said.
"You won't help me balance? I need help for stability!" Lila whined, a little louder than Adrien would have liked.
People around him turned to look at him, seeing Lila being a little over dramatic... as she used to be in high school. Adrien groaned and looked over at Lila. He extended his arm out and watched as she smiled politely, taking hold of his arm. She thanked him for his assistance and they walked outside of the restaurant with their food. Adrien having to hold both bags of food and his ice water while having Lila cling to his arm... was a challenge.
"So... where did you park?" Adrien asked, looking around for a vacant car.
"I didn't park, I had to wal- I mean I had to call a cab... My car is in the shop due to an oil change." Lila smiled sheepishly.
Adrien sighed and walked over to his car, opening the car door for her.
"This is your car?" Lila smiled, sliding into the passenger seat.
"Yeah... here, will you put this in the cup holder?" He asked, handing her his ice water.
She took it and stuck it in the cup holder, and then watched him walk around the car. He slid in and put the bags of food in the back seat, turned the key and started to back up. Lila looked around his car and noticed a picture in the corner of his speedometer stuck in the corner of the glass. She slid over to see it more clearly. It was a small picture of him and Marinette together from high school.
"You and Marinette?" Lila said appalled.
"Oh, the picture of us in high school?" Adrien smiled, pulling onto the road, picking it up and letting Lila look at it closer.
"Oh... yeah... you two look... so.. Cute." Lila struggled to say.
"Yeah... we're dating actually." Adrien smiled looking over to Lila.
"Dating?!" Lila's eyes widened.
"Which park was it? The one near our high school?" Adrien asked.
"Uh... yeah, that's the one!" Lila said, grinning through her teeth.
Lila turned toward the window and crossed her arms, forming a pout as they drove. Adrien glanced over and noticed something was off with Lila and he sighed.
"Lila? Are you ok?" He asked.
"Oh! Me? I'm fine, Just a little cold is all." Lila smiled, turning back to him as if everything was fine.
"You don't have to lie to me, you know Lila." Adrien said.
"I'm not lying, Adrien. I'm fine. Really." Lila said.
