Something new

chapter 68

"Are you even listening to me?"
Adrien was brought out of his thoughts when he turned his face to his assistant, Nathalie.
"Huh? Oh, I apologize. What were you saying?"

Nathalie sighed and smiled at the boy, not having the energy to get frustrated at him. "I was just saying that these are the outfits you'll be wearing on the stage show. Get ready, we'll be leaving soon."

Adrien looked over to the pile of neatly folded clothes that Nathalie was referring to and nodded at her. "Okay.. will we pick (Name) up?"

Nathalie shook her head at his question, "No, we won't pick them up. However your father insisted on picking Lila up. She's also your friend, isn't she?"

He scoffed annoyed once he heard that name and rolled his eyes, slumping down on his couch, "Yeah... she's great." he hissed out, crossing his arms.

His assistant only stared at him dumbfounded. Wow. Doesn't seem like she's that great.
Nathalie wanted to ask him about his seemingly complicated friendship with Lila, but she didn't want to be invasive of the boy's privacy. So she smiled at him and nodded in silence.

"Very well then. We'll be leaving in about an hour. Be ready, okay? After this show you won't have to do it again."

With that, Nathalie closed the door behind her and left the boy alone in his room.

Though Adrien is never truly alone, his Kwami came out flying from his drawer and pretended to gag.
"Ew, why's that fake ass hoe coming?"

Adrien rolled his eyes and went to the pile of clothes, looking at the outfits individually. "Because that fake ass hoe crawled up my dad's ass for some reason. Seriously, he talks more to her than he talked to me my entire life."

Plagg cringed upon hearing that, "You think.. she wants your da-" "-If you finish that sentence I will throw up and cry."

"Nevermind then."

Plagg was munching on some camembert while it got awkwardly quiet, though, when he glanced back to Adrien, he seemed to be zoning out again.
"Adrien?"

...

"Oh my God I think (Name)'s calling you!"
Adrien immediately flinched and searched for his phone, "Really?! Where's my phone?!"

Plagg laughed at him and shook his head, "They're not calling, I just needed you back in reality."

Adrien groaned and rolled his eyes while Plagg just snickered at him, after a second he stared at the model slightly worried. "No but seriously, What are you thinking about this whole time?"

"...I don't want (Name) to come to this show, Plagg."

"NATHANIEL, WHAT THE FUCK DO I WEAR TO THAT SORT OF THING?!"

(Name) shouted into their phone, gripping on their hair as they looked at their closet.

Nathaniel on the other side of the line seemed to be munching on some chips while flatly replying,

"Clothes, duh."

"You're the worst friend I've ever had the unfortune to meet."

Nathaniel groaned annoyed into the phone.

"How about you read the invitation and look if there's a dress code."

"oh, you're right. hold on."
