The Secrets Revealed

The Dance

"Can you believe that Adrien asked me?" I ask Tikki later in the day. Tikki woke up earlier feeling a bit sick, but she says she feels better now. She certainly looks it. She giggles as I dance around the room.

"Marinette" she giggles "You should save your energy for the dance" I flop down on my bed backwards

"You're right" I smile at her. 

"It's almost time" Tikki beams, looking at the clock. at her words, I instantly feel nervous again, but more excited than I was. "It's alright, Marinette."

"I know" I try to breathe deeply. 

"You should get ready" Tikki looks at my dress, still hanging on the mannequin. I look over at it and smile.

"Yeah," I say excitedly. I get into my dress, put on my gloves and fix up my hair. I put Tikki in my purse, put it on and go downstairs. 

"Have fun, Marinette," my mom chirps as I walk out the door.

"I will, Mom," I promise. I wave to my parents as I close the door. I wait for Adrien to come like he said he would. A few minutes later, his limo pulls up to the school. I cross the road and walk over to it as he gets out. 

"Bye," he says behind him as he gets out. When he completely stands up I see what he's wearing: black boots that go almost up to his knees, blue pants and a formal blue and white shirt with golden buttons. He also has a white cape-like thing attached to his shirt. Adrien looks stunning. 

"Wow," he says stunningly. He looks me up and down as the car drives away "You look absolutely beautiful" I blush.

"No, Adrien" I protest "You look better than I do" I smile. He giggles and takes my hand. 

"Shall we?" he asks gesturing to the school door. I smile even more and nod. We walk in and immediately spot Chloè, and it's pretty obvious she spots Adrien because he turns her head to the door and sees us. Chloè starts to walk towards us.

"Oh, no" I whisper to myself "Total brat at 12 o'clock," I say to Adrien, he looks at Chloè and nods.

"Let's get out of here," he says. I nod, and he pulls me through the crowd, over to the punch. He pours some punch into a cup and offers it to me. 

"No. Thanks" I smile "I'm not really thirsty at the moment" he laughs.

"If you say so" he smiles at me and drinks the punch. Now that we've had time to stand still, I get a chance to look around. I see some fantastic dresses and suits. Beautiful colours fill the place with an excellent atmosphere. It seems nice. 

"Shall we go to the balcony?" I ask quickly, noticing Chloè getting nearer, even though she doesn't realise it. 

"Sure" he puts his cup down. Adrien holds out his arm, and I take it. I smile at him, and we go up to the balcony. We get a perfect view of the dance. I see Chloès lovely dress instantly. Of course, it would look much better on her if she wasn't a complete brat. 

"This is nice," I say and lean against the balcony fence. 

"Isn't it just" I see him smile out of the corner of my eye. Then, I see him stare at me, but I pretend not to notice. 

"Marinette?" he says after a few minutes. 

"Yeah?" I turn to face him, and he takes my hands. 

"I..." he says embarrassedly. "This is hard for me to say because I've never said it before."

"Just get it over and done with" I smile, trying not to be rude "And it'll be said and done quicker than you think" he nods.

"I..." he takes a deep breath "I love you" I stare at him, amazed that he would even say such a thing... To me, especially. I smile and hug him. 

"I love you too" I whisper into his ear, quickly. I think a little too fast, but what's said is said. There's no going back, ever. He pulls away from the hug but leaves his arms around me. 

"Would you like to dance?" he smiles, and I smile back at him. 

"Of course" I chirp. We both go down the stairs and start dancing. A few twirls here and hugs there. After a while, he does another thing that surprises me. He grabs my hand, puts his hand on my back and pulls me forward. I look up at him, shock written all over my face. He smiles a toothy smile and notice that his teeth are perfect. I smile up at him, and he closes his mouth but keeps smiling. I notice Chloè over by the punch, probably still looking for us. I look back at Adrien ignoring Chloè. I guess Adrien must have seen it too. He does the craziest thing I think he would ever do.

To Be Continued...

Author's Note:

Hey, guys. Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. School. I guess the holidays will finally give me a chance to update some of my books. I might even bring back 'Fire and Ice'. I have almost finished this book, just one more chapter to go and it might be a short one. Stay tuned! Happy Holidays!
