"Girl you really need to talk to him." Alya tells me. "I know." I sigh "But I just can't. I'll freeze up and stutter and-"
"No girl. You are not doing that. GO." Alya pushes me forward, in front of Adrien and Nino.
"Oh, hi Marinette." Adrien says,a little shyly. I just stand there frozen. Doing nothing. It's not until Tikki whispers in my ear. "Marinette, you have to move." That I do anything. I lose it completely, exclaim "Gotta go, byeeeee!" And run off. I see Chloe fling herself at Adrien, cooing over him as he tries to push her off. I lean against the wall and sigh. Alya joins me. "Girl, girl, girl. What was that?" "I can't do it." I wail, sinking to the floor. "Get UP. We have to go girl. Look, there's the bell." She tells me sternly. I pick myself up and follow her into the classroom. Class is pretty uneventful, and I don't pay much attention as I'm too busy avoiding eye contact with Adrien. Alya nudges me when I don't understand why everyone is working all of a sudden and has to explain everything to me. The work isn't too hard, and I don't struggle with it. When the bell rings for break, I knock my bag over, spilling the contents all over the floor. Alya stays behind to help me retrieve my stationary and books. She tells me to wait outside whilst she sorts out her books. I put on my bag and stand up to find myself face to face with Adrien. I stare at my feet, suddenly shy, and Adrien looks a little awkward too. We just stand there.
