✧ADRIEN✧

• Sunday

Okay Adrien, all you have to do, is convince him like normal.

I open my door and come face to face with my bodyguard: Simon. He stares at me raising a brow. I give him a slight smile and take out some new figurines I got from gifts as Chat Noir. He nods and gets the signal. He then leads me while he checks the stairs to see if anyone is there, he grunts for approval and we take our way.

We manage to quite literally walk up towards the front door. As my bodyguard he's usually permitted to drive me anywhere I'm 'needed' to be. Of course, what I fail to say is that it's supposed to be what either Natalie says or my father. But this time, just like one time before when I couldn't use Plagg, I'm 'needed' at Luka's.

We walk down a couple of feet before we see one of our limousines parked. The Gorilla opens the door for me and I was just about to step in when...

"Adrien. What are you doing?" Natalie asks now trudging forward a few feet with her synthetic legs as her hands wrapped around her tablet.

Oh no, this isn't good.

My bodyguard pulls me away from the door and then behind him as he hides his figurines behind his back. He gives her a nervous smile.

She glares slowly approaching us. I start to feel a slight drop of sweat run down my face. I can't afford to get caught, my father will be livid.

"Simon, show me Adrien." She sternly says.

Simon just shakes his head. I look down not knowing what to do. I'm such an idiot. After everything else I can't even talk to the people I want to talk to. What made me think I could just run away...

She steps forward, "Now." She says. The coldness in her voice was indication enough that she didn't want me to make things worse.

Simon steps to the side, revealing me. I put my hand behind my neck biting my lip. I stare unsurely of whatever she'll say next.

Natalie just sighs putting down her tablet on a bench, while she places her hands on her hips as Simon accidentally drops his figurine.

She smacks her lips, "Unbelievable. Do you know what you're doing? Do you know what Gaberial will say to this Adrien?"

I try to speak up, "Uh... uhm, Natalie I can explain. Just... please, don't tell him!"

She comes up to me and stares me down. "Listen close because I won't say it again. Sneaking out is forbidden, you'll get in serious trouble and your father wouldn't tolerate this behavior."

She drags on, "He's talked about sending you to boarding school before, he never really liked you being at your current school.
But..." She looks to the side.

But? I swallow out of anxiousness. This is it then huh? I should've just waited on Plagg... Goodbye friends, goodbye school, goodbye the rest of my life...

To the unexpected, her face turns into a slight smile she looks back at me, "But... I'm not your father. Do what you will this one time, but if he finds this out, you won't be hearing it from me."
