𝓘 can't stand him! Why couldn't he just tell me? He clearly likes Marinette! It's so obvious, I mean, I already know where Marinette faces her priorities, but with Adrien, getting hurt from him was just . . . time-consuming! To make things even worse than my parent's future reactions to us, is that Adrien wouldn't take the initiative to step forward and talk with me! I mean, it's completely beyond un-worthy of my time.

What was the point in dating someone when they would never say what they really want? Or should I say, who they really want? Then to top that all off, after everything Marinette went through from having her eyes set out on 'the one she loves' she decides to date someone and completely blow it! So this has to be fate right? That they're both incapable of holding anything with anyone else? It's just so . . . frustrating! Even getting akumatized doesn't do much, I just can never have him, can I?

But as frustrated and hurt as I am, I have to stay calm for Marinette. She's one of my best friends, and even if she . . . wants him just as much as I do, I could never blow her off for a guy like I did before. So, I want to do the right thing, I want to make her happy more than anything else, and I want Adrien to be too. Because then, maybe he'll finally realize, finally realize that love comes with so much more than what he couldn't have with me.

Things are as the same as ever, If there's anyway to approach him without him avoiding me, it would be nice. Even at our fencing lessons, he does the bare minimum of contact with me to move on with everyone else. But how long can he keep this up for? Our parents are going to want us to meet at some point.

I heard rumors that my mother wants to make me go into modeling with Adrien. But how could I possibly go into that when Adrien won't even talk to me. But I've learned, I've learned being angry and attracting an akuma won't solve anything, so I have to solve things myself.

I just arrived at our fencing lesson right after I got out of school. So far, I don't see him. When we first started dating, he'd usually be here pretty quickly to meet up with me, but soon after . . . he started making excuses to ditch me and it was getting tiring having to make up something to be with him, while he makes up something to be somewhere else. I never truly found out what he's after, but I do know that deep down, he is sincere.

I decide to shrug it off and go towards the locker room where I'd usually see him prepping his fencing gear. I arrived and didn't see a sight of him. I went back out towards the gym grounds where our fencing teacher usually instructs what we're about to do. But again, I didn't find him anywhere.

✧ADRIEN✧
After the whole thing with Nino today, I just finished up my studies and was about to head back to school to go to fence. But, I really didn't want to go. I thought about what Nino told me and . . . I feel as if Kagami is still mad at me.

Things would've been fine if she cooled down after her akuma, but I'm afraid she doesn't want anything to do with me at the moment and I . . . just want to go see Ladybug. For once I wish Hawkmoth would akumatize someone again today,  just so I could hangout with her.

I pace around my room and look to Plagg for answers, "Plagg, is it against the rules to use my stick as Cat Noir to contact Ladybug for another date?" Plagg comes out of his cabinet of cheese, "Adrien, if you're dating someone, the first thing you should do is establish communication with them before anything else, like—how I know when my cheese is ready; I won't settle for cheese that's not aged enough so I make sure to tell my cheese that I will wait for them~" I look back at Plagg a bit annoyed.

"Plagg, that's great and all . . . but that's not how Ladybug works, she's not cheese!" I say with a little bit of irritation. Plagg pauses before he swallows anymore Camembert, "Well Adrien—for your information, I'm well aware of what humans are, but what I'm saying is that on the night of your outing, you should've established where it was going to go from there!" Plagg snaps back.

My pacing comes to a halt and I hear footsteps approaching my door. "Plagg, go hide." I say quietly. The footsteps stop and the door opens. "Adrien, it's time for your fencing lessons." Natalie says as I go get my stuff, and head out in the car with the Gorilla.

It's not that I didn't see Kagami at my fencing lessons before, it's just that I won't go up to her. I wouldn't mind if I wasn't so anxious on talking to Ladybug today . . . because I wanted to make sure we're on the same page about everything, and I . . . rather just completely skip all together.

▸KAGAMI◂

I'm in the midst of practicing when I finally see him show up: Adrien. I'm sick of feeling like this, I want us to be friends, but I fear I came off like I wasn't going to talk to him again since the devilization of my akuma. I admit, I was mad, but now that I've cooled down I want to make things right.

So, I head towards the entrance in which I see Adrien walking towards the lockers.

"Adrien!" I sternly call out to him. He looks over and smiled—waving back to me. I couldn't help but glare. He's walking away again. I'm going to stay here until he comes out.

Minutes pass and he's come out fully equipped in his fencing gear. I don't hesitate to go over to him, "Oh, hi Kagami." Adrien says. That's it? That's all he can say to me? I take his hand and lead him over by the stairs inside the gym. "K-Kagami, I-" I cut him off, "Adrien, I'm not going to stand by and watch as you think we meant nothing, because you and I both know that's not true!" I look inwardly into his eyes, he stands there in awe.

He shakes off my hand and puts it behind his neck looking down, "Kagami . . . I'm sorry things turned out this way . . . " I close my eyes and then put my helmet on. "How about this, if I win, you won't ignore me anymore and we can be friends, but . . . " I pause, "if you win, you can continue what you're doing and pretend I wasn't in your life . . . " Adrien looks back at me, "But K-Kagami I-" I cut him off, "No more talking, put on your helmet and come over here, our teacher will commence on our victory."
