❀MARINETTE❀

ꕤ Tuesday ꕤ

"𝓜𝓐𝓡𝓘𝓝𝓔𝓣𝓣𝓔 what's with you! You don't ever skip school! You were a nervous wreck yesterday! You blew everyone else off!" Tiki says trying to following me around my room.

I start muttering, "I can't help but panic! there's just something so agitating that I feel like I'm not doing! Like... why hasn't Hawkmoth akumatized anyone daily? w-what about my kawami box I have to make to keep people from discovering? Oh no- then I have to set up some traps, I have to find out if Adrien's schedule changed... because I went and talked with Kagami... is he doing a photo shoot? but then I have to talk to Alya! wait . . . Alya! The—park!"

Tiki gets all in my face, "Marinette! Calm down! You don't have to do so many things at once!" I stop pacing around my room. The other Kawamis stare at me worriedly. "You're right Tiki... I'm sorry, sorry... it's just, ohh then there's Cat Noir! It's a lot . . ." I slump down on my sofa.

Trix comes up to me, "Marinette from what I heard, just focus on things that make you happy in the moment! Like... going to the park, the girls will understand, I'm sure especially Alya will too." I sit up, "You really think that's what I should do?" Sass comes up to me as well, "Guardian—that is-s exactly what you s-should do." I try to take deep breathes. "Okay, I'll go call Alya and say that I'll be at the park, after all... she texted me saying they would be there today, so it's the least I could do."

I dial her contact and she immediately picks up.

*Girl you finally picked up your phone!*
She snaps at me.

*Alya, I'm so sorry, there's a lot that's been going on and-*

*Don't say another word! just be at the park! You're in for a whole show!*

*What- what does that mean?*

*Trust me girl, you'll love it!*
She hangs up.

I assemble my cardboard house and put the Kawami box in it, it's not sturdy enough, but it'll due. "Okay please guys, behave!" The Kawamis nod and go inside. I take my bag and fix my makeup, going downstairs heading to park. "Mom—Dad! I'll be hanging out with friends at the park." My mom and dad smile and wave as I leave. Tiki is secured safely in my purse.

"Mari I'm so glad you made it! We were worried about you!" Alya comes towards me giving me a hug as I finally got to the fountain. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to run off like that, but . . . " Alya let's go and Rose takes my hands, "Don't worry! We got something for you!" She leads me over behind a tree where I see someone that I did not want to see on the other side by a bench: Luka . . .

"R-Rose, what is he doing here?" The other girls approach behind me, "You know my plan? When I said take her to the park I meant direct conversation." Alix says. "W-What? You want me to . . . go talk to him?" I stutter in response. Alya puts her hand on my shoulder, "Girl—we figured you were stressing out so much because you left him on bad terms." I back away.

"No! That's not it! We're not . . . on bad terms." I say looking down shyly. Juleka mumbles something to Rose, "Lukaisstillveryconfused." Rose glares at me, "Marinette we got to do something! Either you talk to Luka and assure him or..." I begin to feel very queasy, "Or what? girls—there's nothing to talk about!" I accidentally yell from their pressure.

I cover my mouth and realize he almost saw me. Alya frowns and then says something else, "Okay we won't force you... I'll tell Nino to text him to go back." I collapse from shame, "Please... don't do this again, I don't want to have him show up for me anymore... we're over okay?" The girls look upset. "Sorry Marinette . . . " Mylene says, as she hands me a bracelet, I look at it for a second before I stand back up, "Did you all... make this?" They all nod.

"Marinette, trust your secret into this bead and add it to compete the rest, with this you'll be able have us there whenever you feel upset!" Mylene says handing me a bead. "Thanks for that... I'll keep it on me at all times." I put it on my wrist. Alix grabs my hand, "Change of plans! Since this is on me! I'm taking Marinette out for a smoothie!"

The girls gasp. Juleka smiles, "thatactuallysoundslikeagoodidea." I perk up trying be more content, "Thank you, I'll text you all later!" I wave and leave out the back exit with Alix.

✦ALYA✦

I take out my phone the moment they leave, Rose, Juleka, and Mylene say they better go off since this turned into a quick meeting instead of all of us being together.
