DjWifi - 4

"Marinette, what do I do? What do I do?" Alya paced back and forth in the bakery. 

"I - I don't know! I've never confessed to Adrien, or any guy before!" Marinette bit her lip. 

"Confessed to me?" Adrien entered the bakery, "Nevermind. We'll talk later. Alya, what did you tell Nino?" 

"I didn't tell him anything! He walked in when Marinette was talking about how I love him!" Alya sat at a table, her face buried in her hands. 

"Oh. Alya ... " Adrien sat next to her and hugged her, "I'm so sorry." 

Alya cried and Marinette watched, horrified. It was her fault. 

"I'm sorry Alya! I'm really sorry!" Marinette ran upstairs, tears welling in her eyes.

"Go after her. I don't want her to think it's her fault," Alya wiped her eyes, "She's more sensitive than me." 

Adrien nodded and went after Marinette. 

"Alya?" The bell chimed as Nino entered the bakery. 

Alya cleared her throat, "Hey Nino." 

"Alya, I'm sorry that I can't return your feelings," He sat in front of her. 

"It's fine. Marinette's perfect. Every guy likes her. She's smart, talented, pretty," Alya stared at her shoes.

"So are you," Nino smiled.

Alya scoffed, "Right." 

Nino lifted her chin, making her look at him, "You are. You're smart, you're talented, and you're absolutely breath taking." 

They stared into each other's eyes and Nino slowly leaned in. Their lips connected and all of Alya's pain dispersed.

She quickly pulled away, "What the hell? You say you can't return my feelings, and then you kiss me?"

"Alya, I don't know why I -"

"Save it. You can't toy with my feelings." Alya cut him off.

"Alya.I'm sorry." Nino sighed.

"Whatever. See you in school, Nino." Alya ran upstairs to join her two friends.

Alya entered Marinette's room to see her hugging Adrien, still crying.

"Marinette ... " Marinette looked at her friend.

"Alya, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I'm in the way between you and Nino!" Marinette cried.

"Marinette, it's okay. It's not your fault. I'm not mad at you." Alya smiled.

Marinette weakly grinned, wiping her eyes, one arm still attached to Adrien.

"Are you gonna let him go or are you finally making a move?" Alya teased.

Marinette became bright red and hid her face in Adrien's shoulder.

"Wait, what?" Adrien raised a brow.

"Oh girl, tell the poor clueless child." Alya laughed.

"I like you .. " Marinette whispered.

"Well that's good." Adrien wrapped his arm around her waist. "I like you too."

Nino sat at the end of the stairs before entering the room, hearing everything once more.
