Fear Leads to Love

A good friend

Marinette-
I arrive 20 minutes early to school to met up with Alya. As I walk up the block I see her sitting on the front steps of the school, fidgeting.
"Alya!" I yell to get her attention
"Marinette." She screams running up to me. She pulls me into a hug. "What's the awesome news girl?"
"Well it's about Adrien." I tease.
"And." She continues, egar to know.
"We went on a date!"
"What?!" She screams.
"Aaaaaaannnnnd..... We're a couple!"
"WHAT?!" She screams louder, pulling me into another embrace. "When did this happen?!"
That's when I told her what Adrien and I agreed.
"Well, you know how I am." I blush. "While working on the project he asked me a question about it. I started babbling on and on, then I said 'I like you.' AND THEN HE SAID HE FELT THE SAME!"
"Omg!" She sqeelzes. "I'm so happy for you guys!"
One last embrace.
"By the way." I say, pulling away. (Lol I'm a poet.) "When is the project due?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh. I guess we finished early."
"Lucky." She pouts, folding her arms. "I have to head to the library to meet up with Nino. We also plan to meet up after school. So I can't hang out."
"It's ok." I say. "I bet you're glad to be hanging out with him."
"Excuse me?" She's says raising her eyebrow.
"How is you and Nino?" I say nudging her arm with mine.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about." She says, her cheeks turning a bright red.
"Oh, come one Alya! I know you like him!"
"N-No I don't!"
I laugh so hard my sides hurt.
"Ok. Go on. Get out of here!"
I wave goodbye as she runs up the front steps and into the building. I walk over to the front steps to head into the school. When I set my foot on the first stair I see a blur of black bolts behind one of the pillars of the small gardens banisters. Curious, I walk over to the pillar. Slowly I creep up to the corner, inching around it.
Nothing.
Probably a squirrel. I think.
I walk back to the building as a white limo rolls up to the front. At first I think it's Chloé showing of how rich she is when the door opens. a swarm of paparazzi comes out of nowhere, and surround the limo. One photographer pushes his way past me, knocking my bag out of my hand. Kneeling down I start to pick up my stuff that has spilled onto the ground. I steal a quick glance at the limo to she Adrien step out from the behind the car door. He ignores the flashing lights and his attention is immediately drawn to me on the ground. Dashing over, he start to help me pick up the contents of my bag.
"I'm sorry Marinette." he apologizes.
Why would he? He didn't make the photographer knock into... oh.
After stuffing my objects into my bag he grabs me by the elbow to help me up. The paparazzi swarm around us with a endless supply of camera flashes. The lights are so bright I have to cover my eyes from the flashes. Adrien leases his fingers with mine, and pulls me toward the school. Once inside we press ourselves onto a nearby wall. They try to follow us, but are chased off by the head of security for the school. I hadn't realized I have been holding my breath. I turn my head to face Adrien, our hands still laced.
"How do you live with this?" I ask.
I'm not not mad, or curious of his famous life. I just want to know if this is what he wants, and how he deals with this as a person.
"You get used to it." She sighs. "And you will too when you become a world famous fashion designer."
"You really think I could become a designer?" I ask, heat rushing to my cheeks.
Using his left hand he covers our intertwined hands and says. "I know you will."
He lets go of my hand, and wraps his arms around my waist. Blushing, I place my hands on his chest, along with my head. This feels so right. Like two puzzle pieces fitting together. Perfect. I pray that no one sees us like this. Especially Chloé. She would FREAK OUT! We pull apart and lace fingers again as we walk down the hallways. Just like at the theater, girls stare, and glare at me.
And I feel uneasy.

Adrien-
Marinette seems uneasy as we walk to class. Judging by all the glares, its not a mystery. Trying to comfort her I squeeze her hand. She looks up at me, gives off a warm smile. leaning over I give her a kiss on top her forehead. We walk up the stairs as I look for Chloé, hoping she's not in the classroom.
"By the way." I say to Marinette. "When is the project due?"
"I asked Alya about that." She answers. "It's due tomorrow. I guess we finished early."
"Nino and Alya working together after school?"
"Yup."
"In that case. Movie at my place?"
"Met me at my locker after school?"
"Deal."
She giggles.
We reach the top of the stairs, and head towards the classroom door. I let go of her hand, and turn the door nob.
Swinging the door open I quickly note that Chloé isn't inside. Stepping back I bend down into a slight bow, and gesture my hand to the doorway.
"My Lady." I say, winking at her.
"Is this going to be a thing with you." She giggles.
"Why wouldn't I?" I say seriously. "I'm in the presence of a princess."
"Is that so?" She says, raising an eyebrow.
"You know it."
"Then thank you. My cat prince."
She walks inside, and I follow behind her. I sit in my assigned seat in front of Marinette. A couple minutes later Alya walks through the door, followed by Nino. Alya laughs at something Nino says, both of their faces turn a slight red. Alya then takes her seat next to Marinette, and Nino next to me.
"Psst! Nino." I whisper to him not wanting for the girls to overhear. "Psst! Nino!"
He finally hears me, and looks over.
"What?" He whispers back.
"Something amazing happened."
"What is it?" He says moving closer, ready to hear what I have to say.
"What if I told you I have a girlfriend?" I tease him.
"Really?!" He whisper shouts. "Who?!"
I nod my head in Marinette direction.
"Congrats man!" He says giving me a thumbs up. "She's a keeper."
I glare at him. "Hands off." I jokingly threaten.
He puts his hands up in defense. "All your man. I'm eyeing someone else."
His gaze shifts from me to Alya. I remember when he used to have a crush on Marinette. Man, if that where to happen before the events of yesterday. That would just be impossible to keep that a secret. I can't help but smile at his attraction for my girlfriends best friend.
He notices my smile and whispers shouts. "Hey. Don't laugh!"
"I'm not." I respond. "You to would look great."
"B-Butt I don't kno-" He's interrupted by the bell and the teacher walking in.
"Ok class." Ms. Janelle. "Sense the deadline for the project is tomorrow for today you can work with your partners. Get into your groups."
Nino gets up from his seat, and says. "See you later bud."
"Later."
After about two minutes everyone is sitting at a desk with there assigned partners. There is only one seat left, and only one person left standing. Marinette. Setting her stuff down on the desk, ands sits down. We talk about random stuff like what movie to watch after school, and other stuff. Then it dawned upon me. I don't have her number.
"Hey Bug-a-boo." I say, getting her attention from her homework for another class.
"What's up?" She says, looking up at me.
"I'm sorry, but.. I never got your number."
"Oh." She laughs. "Give me your phone."
I lean over, and savage through my bag.  Inside the bag Plagg hands me my phone, and I hand it to her. Taping on the screen she enters her info. When she hands it back I notice she didn't put in a contact name. I look up to I ask her why, but she cuts me off. "I'll leave the name up to you."
I ponder what to name her for a few seconds then decide on a good one. For the name I type in Lovebug.
"Lovebug." She reads. "I like it."
"Yeah! I'm mean we could always call on our 'other devices.'" I cough. "But it's nice to have it on her to."
"I agree."
The door to the classroom suddenly burst open, Chloé along with Sabrina enter.
"Ms. Bourgeois!" Ms. Janelle says clearly unhappy. "I really do not appreciate you two showing up  30 minutes late to class!"
"But there were photographers in the front of the school!" Chloé wines. "I just HAD to stop, and let them take pictures of me. They were BEGGING!" Sabrina stands behind her, terrified.
"Young ladies!" Ms. Janelle scolds. "I don't not care if you just HAD to have a photoshoot, this will not go unpunished!"
Everyone in the class stares at the girls, expecting for one of them to say something. But they don't.
"Two detentions for the both of you." Ms. Janelle decides.
"What?!" Chloé screams. "Do you know who my father is?!"
"I am very aware who your father is young lady." She says out of patience. "But it does not excuse your actions. Now to your seat. We'll talk with the principle after class."
Chloé stomps to her seat, her best friend in toe. And all the class could do was smile.

Adrien-
I like basketball. I always find myself having fun when we play it in gym. In the gym the basketball eochs through out the gym. I dribble the ball down the court, and pass it to Nathaneal. He then shoots it over to Kim who dodges a player on the other team, jump up, and dunks the ball into the hoop. A whistle sounds off, and both teams gather around Mr. Grazer. (I couldn't think of a name, and I was watching a youtuber called stacyplays. She was playing with another youtubers called Grazer10. So I went with that.)
"Alright kids." He says. "It's the end of the day get changed."
I start to walk toward the boys changing room when something grabs me by the arm and pulls me the other direction. I trip from the sheer force. When I regain my balance whatever pulled me then slams me against one of the the pillars of the building. A darker colored hand then slams on the pillar next to my face. Slowly I turn my head away from the hand to who it belongs to. Alya stands in front of me, her face, the definition of serious.
"Hi Alya." I say awkwardly.
"Ok listen up rich boy." She says sternly.
What on earth is happening?!
"You will treat my best friend like she's a princess, got it? She is one of the best things that has happened to me and this world."
You don't know the half of it.
"If I hear one complaint from her, you're dead."
She stands there, waiting for an answer. Even when she sent Lady Wifi she can be deadly. Slowly I nod by head, from what she just said. I would never hurt My Lady. Even sense we meet I have made sure not to offend, or hurt her in any way, shape, or form. Alya smiles, satisfied with herself. She pats my shoulder and says. "Treat her well." She starts to walk her way to the girls changing room, but stops halfway. "BTW. Marinette's birthday is in two days. Get her a nice gift."
She finally steps into the girls room, and I slide down the the pillar. Her birthday was in TWO DAYS. And we were hanging out after school, AND I have fetching tomorrow. Hopefully she doesn't stay long so I can go shopping after. Getting up form the floor I head into the changing room, and change back into my regular clothes. Grabbing my phone from my gym locker to look at the time. Crap! I got to hurry up. Closing my locker I head to met Marinette. **********************************************************************************
