❀MARINETTE❀

ꕤ Monday ꕤ

"Girl—I am telling you, she... is over him!" Alya exclaims to Marinette in her room.

"No, I don't believe she is, I mean... this could be an opportunity—to take her... over to Adrien, and make them happy again!"

Alya pinches her glasses.

I look at her expression and respond, "Oh don't give me that look! They're both my friends! sure . . . one of them I can't really speak to, but—actions speaks words!"

Alya sighs and rolls her eyes. "N to the other letter o, this isn't our buisness, this isn't your business, you need... to let go of them!" She pauses and flips her hands in the air, "Okay, more like . . . of him! Mari, you're dating Chat Noir, you're done with Luka, and now... it's time to move on with Adrien too."

I sigh and twirl around in my chair. "Alya, it's just not that simple! I know... I want to be contempt with Chat Noir, but it's hard because... we're super-heroes and... with Adrien, I've just- always..." I loose strength of my words and come to a halt.

Alya gets off the sofa and approaches me putting both hands on my shoulder. "You're right, but sneaking into a private swimming-shoot , isn't the way Mari, you need to stop obsessing over this boy. Let. him. go." She says slowly.

I pull my knees to my head. Tiki comes over, "Marinette, she's right, you can't force people to feel a certain way."

I think for a moment, perhaps... or I could just reveal what was already there!

✧ADRIEN✧

"Natalie! I don't want to do this!" I exclaim rather frustrated that she's put me on another photo-shoot.

"Adrien, look I know you and your father can get, hectic at times, but as your... manager, I've been instructed to let you know, that the stats report that the 'People-of-Paris' has been boosting ratings of you and Mr. Couffaine, rather... dare I say—it has given us benefits."

I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, "His name is Luka, Luka Natalie? Alright? How does father suddenly approve of this anyway? Last time I spoke my mind on the issue, I got locked up."

"Adrien, you know your father has your best interest, listen he- the brand, needs this, he understands now..."

I roll my eyes and get up from my dining room chair, "So you expect me... to not be hesitant, like he—didn't just yell at me for... doing what I thought was well for the brand?"

She closes her eyes, and tries to utter something before covering up a cough, "It's scheduled at 5:15 today, we've already gotten in contact with him."

I walk off heading up stairs. Unbelievable, I get absolutely no say... here I was apologizing to him and now I mess that up the week after? Just great Adrien... Adrien Agreste.

I arrive on set of what appears to be: a swimming pool. I'm decked out in a band-t and got my trunks and slides on. I notice Adrien isn't here yet so I head to one of the changing rooms to put my bag away.
