Marinette 🍪

The old Marinette who used to hang up pictures of Adrien Agreste on her wall, would have died if she knew that he would be helping her future self spy on Théo Barbot. We made our way to the libaray as slowly as we could so that no one would find us suspicious. We were just two friends, casually making our way to the library to read in peace.

Once we were inside, Adrien immediately took my hand and lead me somewhere near the back. I'm not going to lie: my heart did flutter just a bit when his hand gripped mine. I couldn't help it— no matter how many times I told myself I was over him, Adrien would always somehow tug on my heart just a bit...until I snapped myself from the fantasy that could never have been.

We stood behind a stack of books that acted as a wall, blocking us from the table in which Théo sat, reading a book. I heard Adrien muffling a gasp as he glanced at the object. I could hear him mutter, 'He's reading my book' in a surprised matter under his breath. I couldn't get a proper look at the cover, but the red design looked elegant and ancient almost in a mysterious way.

That's when Lila came in, walking towards Théo from the opposite shelf. Théo quickly hid his (well, Adrien's) book under another and greeted her warmly. It felt strange spying on them behind the bookshelf, but we needed to find at leat some form of evidence that Lila was a liar.

"Now we can get going on our history homework," Lila giggled, "It's so much more fun doing it together, don't you think?"

I looked through a gap in a series of books about the French Revolution and could see Lila eyeing the book that Théo was trying to hide.

"What's that?" she asked, grabbing the book from his grasp.

Théo blinked in surprise, rubbing the back of his head nervously, coming up with excuses like how it was only a few stories about superheroes. Nothing special.

Lila placed her hand above Théo's and smiled in a sweet manner.

The only thing sweet about her is her appearance, I thought in disgust.

"I love superheroes," Lila said in an admiring tone

"It's too late," Adrien whispered into my ear beside me, "he's already head-over-heels for her. Look."
