7~ Lunch

I really need to stop procrastinating and get to the actual plot of the story...

More people need to watch Love Live, the music needs more love.

"This has to be the most interesting day of school since when Chloé forgot to put on mascara!" Alya gushed about the morning class excitedly, "I can't wait to talk about this on my blog, they even showed the official drawing of Hawkmoth — or Le Papillon, whichever name you prefer."

"It's certainly surprising that they decided to teach us about Ghouls," Marinette admitted, swallowing another soggy clump of the sandwich Alya decided to share with the poor ghoul who — as always — forgot her lunch.

"And Chloé actually believes they're fake? That's freaking amazing!" Alya laughed, "You'd've think that she'd brag about her father giving her a dress made from their skin or something."

Marinette nodded, her gaze shifting over to Adrien, who was talking with Nino as he sipped on a coffee he'd bought from the cafeteria. The said boy turned his head, his gaze catching on Marinette's. He waved at her, and her face exploded in blush as she shyly waved back.

She forced herself to take another bite, swallowing the substance and ignoring how her stomach ached. With the class now actually learning about ghouls, she was going to have to make sure she seemed as normal as possible.

Her gut screamed in protest at the thought.

As soon as she finished her sandwiches half she  stood, planning to excuse herself to the toilet.

"I'll come with you!" Alya said, following her, "I still have to tell you about the recent ghoul attack that happened this weekend!"

Marinette was in a corner, though only figuratively. She couldn't just tell Alya to not come with her, it wasn't right.

She nodded, making her way to the girls' room as her friend followed. She felt the food trying to crawl up her throat, but she just swallowed it back down.

Marinette already saw how this was going to go. She would end up not being able to hold it in, throw up the food, and be sent home sick with people wondering why she never said anything sooner.

Her anxious thoughts were interrupted by a hand on her shoulder, making the young ghoul jump.

Spinning on her heels, she let out a breath of relief, it was only Adrien.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" he asked, concern filling his eyes.

"N-no, not at all!" Marinette waved off the issue, and Alya gave her a knowing glance before quietly slipping away.

"Are you okay? You look a little pale."

"Just a small stomach ache, that's all."

They sat in an awkward silence, a hint of blush on Marinette's cheeks as she peered at the ground, shuffling her feet as she racked her mind for what to say.

"So... how did you do it?" he suddenly asked, and Marinette looked up to see they were the only ones in the hall.

"Hm?"

"You know... eat the sandwich?"

"Oh... well..." Marinette moved her hands, hoping to explain it a simply as possible while not mentioning the fact that either of them were ghouls, even if it still sounded suspicious, "When you bite into the food, it's best to swallow the bite whole and just pretend to chew a few seconds afterward. It helps to not spread the flavor. But it's best to get it out of your system before digesting it."
